IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
An English-speaking friend has written to you to ask you how your IELTS studies are going.
Write a letter telling your friend how you are preparing for the test.
In your letter:
● say what progress you are making
● explain how you are preparing for the test
● say which section you are finding the most difficult.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear GH,
Thanks for writing. It’s good to hear from you again and I hope you are well.
My preparation for the IELTS is going OK but I don’t have enough time for studying. I am too tired in the evenings after a full day in the office, so I have to rely on the weekends. I might need to book some private lessons if I want a good score.
One thing I like to do is to read magazines in English whilst I travel to work on the train. This is helping me with my vocabulary and grammar. I also send out e-mails in English to practise for the writing section. When I get home I like to watch a film in English, with the subtitles turned off. My listening skills have improved greatly since I started watching films, which is more interesting than listening to CDs.
The most difficult section for me is the writing section because my grammar is not good enough. I am trying my best to learn the rules of English but some of the verbs seem to have more than one meaning and this is causing me trouble. I hope to sit the test in about three months.
Best wishes
