IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Invitation — Family & friends
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Your parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and you are organising a surprise family dinner. Write a letter to your brother or sister. In your letter: • tell them about the dinner and why it must stay a surprise • say where and when it will happen • ask them to help you organise one part of it
Examiner focus: Secrecy, family logistics, and a clearly delegated organising task.
