One Sample Q & A for an IELTS GT Writing Task 1 Letter - Informal letter between two friends in relation to a trip

This paper can be used as an example as how to write an essay for the Task 1. It should provide a
general guideline about a good answer in terms of structure, ideas and language (informal) used.
The candidate has to keep in mind that this is only one example approaches out of many.

This document contains a possible answer to an original IELTS Writing Task 1 for General Training.
Some advice about how to prepare and tackle the Task 1 in the Writing test is provided before the
Sample question. Note: The sample example is one for an informal letter (see Notes about the Exam
in General section). The essay in Task 1 must be of at least 150 words written in about 20 minutes.
Note that the examinee has 60 minutes for the whole Writing Test (Task 1 and Task 2). It is advised
to spend 20 minutes on the Task 1. Task 1 is worth half the amount of marks allocated to Task 2 for
the candidate’s total score in the Writing test. The students taking the IELTS test are responsible of
managing their own time.
