IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Request Help — Travel
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Your flight arrives at midnight next Tuesday, and the last bus home leaves before you land. Write a letter to a friend who lives near the airport. In your letter: • give your flight details • ask if they could collect you or lend you their car • explain how you will thank them
Examiner focus: Late-night favour asked with a fallback option, so saying yes is easy.
