What is IELTS General Training Writing Task 1?

IELTS General Training Writing Task 1 asks you to write a letter, usually in a formal, semi-formal, or informal tone. The key to a better score is choosing the right tone, covering every bullet point fully, and staying clear rather than trying to sound overly complex.

How should you structure the letter?

Start with a clear purpose in the opening line
Use one paragraph per main bullet or task area
Match the tone to the relationship and situation
