Search IELTS General Writing Letter Question and Sample

IELTS general writing task 1 is a 150-250 words letter related to everyday life. The website collects 53 IELTS general writing task 1 (letter) questions. The search tool is for users to retrieve them and their sample answers. (If a question doesn't have a sample answer, the search won't include it in the result.)

The search tool shows 20 random questions by default. Users can search for any interesting letter question, and then access the whole question and its sample answers. The filter can be a regular keyword, like 'house', or a letter type, like 'Informal'.

Users have two actions to continue for each general letter question: view the whole question and check the available sample answers.

The filter cannot include special chars and should be shorter than 16 chars. If you want to reset the criteria, blank the filter and click the 'Refresh Topics' button.

Besides, each letter question has a number; you can also put the '#' sign plus the number to the filter to retrieve the question directly, e.g., '#3036'.
