IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Request Help — Home & neighbourhood

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

You will be away from home for a month for work and are expecting several important parcels during that time. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter: • explain why you will be away and for how long • ask them to take in your parcels and water your plants • tell them how they can contact you if there is a problem

Examiner focus: Clear scope of the favour, exact dates, and a contact route for problems.
