IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Thank You — Work

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

A senior colleague spent several hours helping you prepare for an important interview, and you got the job. Write a letter to your colleague. In your letter: • thank them for their help • say which part of their advice helped most in the interview • tell them your start date and offer to return the favour

Examiner focus: Credit shared precisely: name the advice that actually changed the outcome.
