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 are having a new bathroom fitted next week and will have no water for two days. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter: • explain the situation and the dates • ask if you could use their shower on those two mornings • offer to do something for them in return
Examiner focus: A short, specific favour with exact times and a genuine return offer.
