IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Thank You — Community
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
When your car would not start on a freezing morning, a passer-by helped you push it and waited until help arrived. Write a letter to the local newspaper. In your letter: • describe what happened • thank the stranger publicly, describing them so they may recognise themselves • say why their help mattered that morning
Examiner focus: A public thank-you letter: the story told so the right stranger recognises it.
