IELTS practice General Training Writing test - Task 1
How to approach General Training Writing Task 1
In the real IELTS General Training Writing test, you will have one hour to complete both of the two set writing tasks.
​​
Task 1 should take you 20 minutes, leaving 40 minutes for Task 2. Before starting the first practice task, you might like to set an alert to make sure you don’t go too far over.
When you take your IELTS General Training Writing test, you will move from the first to the second task without a break. In order to give you a good idea of the test experience, you should do the same here, moving straight from practice Task 1 to practice Task 2.

​
In your letter Give contact details for when you are away
Give instructions about how to care for your pet
