The IELTS General Training Writing will give you a problem to write a letter requesting information or explaining a situation. You should write at least 150 words, and it is advisable not to spend more than 20 minutes on Task 1.

Below is a sample of Task 1 (informal) letter

Task 1 Sample Question

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

Last month you had a holiday overseas where you stayed with some friends. They have just sent you some photos of your holiday.

Write a letter to your friends. In your letter:

• thank them for the photos and for the holiday
• explain why you didn’t write earlier
• invite them to come and stay with you

Write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write any address.

Sample Answer:

Hi David and Susan,

I hope this letter finds you well. I was overjoyed when I got your letter. Thank you so much for those kind words and the lovely photos of us. Sorry for the delay in replying, we got so caught up in our unpacking, we didn’t get time to check our mail until a week later.

Looking at these photos brings back so many memories, and we cannot thank you enough for your warm hospitality and the way you took out time to show us around to all the best spots. John was also saying that we would have been lost in that country hadn’t it been for you two. Thanks to both of you once again..

In fact, we were thinking, why don’t you and David come here to Dubai on a holiday, it’ll be really fun! We told you about the spare room we have, so you’re always welcome to stay with us when you’re here. You could always think about making the trip during November-February, as the weather is lovely that time around.

Please do consider coming here, and once again thank you so much for the photos!

Take care

Fiona
