IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Request Help — Housing
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You are going to be away for the whole winter and your elderly neighbour will be alone in the street. Write a letter to another neighbour. In your letter: • explain that you will be away and for how long • ask them to keep an eye on your elderly neighbour • give them your phone number and your return date
Examiner focus: Asking someone to watch over a person, not a property — sensitivity plus practical contact details.
