Writing Practice & Self-Assessment: Task 1 (General Training — Letter Writing)
Format: IELTS General Training Task 1 — writing a formal, semi-formal, or informal letter covering three bullet points
Choose a real-life situation and write a 150-word letter responding to it, just like the real IELTS General Training Task 1. There's no auto-scoring here — instead, you'll compare your own letter against a model answer and work through the same criteria an examiner would use.
Listen to the article instead of relying only on continuous screen reading.

How this helps your writing
Choose a task below — each gives you a real-life situation and three points you must cover in your letter.
Pick Practice Mode (structure checklist visible, no time pressure) while you're learning the format, or Exam Mode (checklist hidden, strict 20-minute countdown) to test yourself properly.
Write at least 150 words, covering all three bullet points in a tone appropriate to who you're writing to.
When you're done, reveal the model answer and work through the band-descriptor checklist yourself, comparing your response against each criterion honestly.
