IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You have a test in your English class next week, but you cannot attend. Write to your teacher. In your letter:
• Explain your situation.
• Apologise for not being able to take the test.
• Ask whether it is possible for you to take the test at another time.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mrs. S,
I am writing to ask you for a favour. I know that we have a test on Monday next week to review units 1-5 in our textbook. However, I have a meeting with the Immigration Department at 10am on that day and so I cannot attend. I am terribly sorry about being absent, but unfortunately the appointment was made many months in advance and it is impossible for me to reschedule.
If I miss it, my visa will be cancelled and I will be forced to leave the country. I am sure you can understand, therefore, what a crucial meeting this is for me. Is it possible for me to take the test at another time? I would be happy to stay behind one afternoon for as long as necessary to complete the exam.
I apologise once again and hope I am not causing you too much inconvenience.
Best regards,
Student
