IELTS General Writing Task 1

IELTS General Writing Task 1

In IELTS general writing, you must write a letter in response to a prompt. This is a bit harder to classify because these don’t always fit neatly into categories. 

The first way to look at them is tone:

● Formal letters

● Semi-formal letters

● Informal letters

The other is related to what the letter requires you to write about, and this is harder to classify, but here are 12 common types:

• Thank-you letters

• Letters of apology

• Letters of complaint

• Invitation letters

• Providing feedback/suggestions

• Giving advice

• Requesting more information

• Resigning or leaving a job/position

• Dealing with landlords

• Request for help (asking for or responding to)

• Giving a recommendation

• Basic legal matters

That is a long list and honestly it is hard to classify some of these. There are definitely cases where you might need to do a mixture of the above things, such as thanking someone and then giving them advice, or complaining and then giving a recommendation.

Thus, it is impossible to say how many types of task 1 question there are for the general writing test, but the basic answer is… a lot! Just be prepared to respond directly and use the correct tone.
