IELTS Letters 2021 - what's new for GT students this year?

Welcome to our IELTS letters 2021 episode! Every time one of my students emails me their IELTS results, the fist thing I ask them is "What questions did you have in the writing exam?" There are two reasons for this: First, it helps me understand if our students are performing better in some type of questions than others (so I can support future students better). Second, it allows me to build a bank of recent exam questions that I can give to my students to use for high-quality practice.

This week, I updated my recent IELTS letters blog post to show 20 prompts that have been given in exams this year. Today, Nick and I discuss 8 of those questions in detail to look at what IELTS letters 2021 look like. In short, while the usual functions remain (explaining, asking, suggesting, complaining, etc), there are some new, interesting topics

You can find out more about today's lesson at http://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-letters-2021/

In this episode, we will look at

  1. informal letter prompts from 2021 (there aren't many!)
  2. semi-informal letter prompts from 2021 (including a couple of new topics)
  3. formal letter prompts from 2021 (including some old friends and new enemies!)
