IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Recommendation — Transport
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
A friend who has just passed their driving test is buying their first car on a small budget. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • recommend a type of car and why it suits a new driver • warn them about running costs people forget • suggest what to check on a test drive
Examiner focus: First-car realism: insurance and running costs before badges and colours.
