IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Your friend is considering adopting a pet and has asked for your advice.
You should write:
– Share your experiences with pet ownership.

– Offer recommendations on choosing the right pet.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sarah,
I was thrilled to hear you’re thinking about adopting a pet! As someone who has owned both a cat and a dog, I can assure you it’s a truly rewarding experience.
Owning a pet brings great joy, but it also involves daily responsibilities. You’ll need to feed, groom, and exercise your pet regularly, and ensure they receive proper medical care. It’s also important to consider how much time you can realistically dedicate each day.
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance companion, I’d recommend a cat—they’re independent and easier to care for. However, if you enjoy being outdoors and have time for walks, a dog might be perfect. Be sure to visit a local shelter and interact with different animals before making a decision.
Let me know what you decide—I’d love to help you get started!
Warm wishes,
Emma
