IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Request Help — Culture & reading

Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.

Your book club has grown to fifteen members and no longer fits in your living room. Write a letter to the manager of a local café. In your letter: • explain what the book club needs • ask if the group could meet at the café one evening a month • explain what the café would gain from the arrangement

Examiner focus: A request framed as a two-way benefit: guaranteed customers on a quiet evening.
