IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Thank You — Culture & reading
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
A friend recommended a book that changed how you think about your career, and you have now changed jobs. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • thank them for the recommendation • say which idea in the book affected you most • tell them about your new job
Examiner focus: An intellectual thank-you: the idea named, the change it caused described.
