IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

Your American friends are going to a city you have just visited. Write a letter to them about your experiences there and make recommendations.

In your letter:

– say what they should see and do there

– make recommendations about food and drink

– give any other recommendations you feel are appropriate.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear J and G,

Thank you for your recent letter. I’m so glad everything is well with you and the family. It’s a real surprise to discover that you are going to Prague, since Joyce and I have just come back from there! We spent a week in the city and really enjoyed ourselves.

I’m sure you’ll pay a visit to the castle, which overlooks the city. It has numerous interesting buildings and several museums. The Charles Bridge is lovely, though it is under renovation at the moment and not quite as beautiful as usual. The views from the bridge a fantastic and there are many artists and entertainers there.

We can also recommend the Old Town Square, which has several cafes and an open-air market. However, we suggest that you buy souvenirs in department stores whenever possible as the prices are much lower for exactly the same things!

There are so many wonderful places to eat at. We found Czech cuisine both tasty and filling. If you go a little off the main tourist trails, you will find food at much lower prices. Most restaurants have budget lunch menus.

Of course, the beer is out of this world, so it’s probably best to wait until evening for that, though it is very hard to resist one with lunch!

We both hope you have a great time there. Be sure to tell us about any special places you find.

Best wishes from us both,
