 Model answer

Here is a model answer. 
To the Editor,
My name is John Smith – a resident of Quitclaim  five years. My family moved here due to its affordability, and proximity to the city. We also enjoy several small parks in which our sons and their friends play. One of these parks is Lafarge Park, on Guilford Street. It is not large, but it is well-used, clean, and safe.
Recently, I learnt that Quitclaim Council has decided to sell this public amenity for development. The land has already been reasoned residential, so I assume as many dwellings as possible – perhaps even twenty apartments – could be built here.
While I am not a lawyer, and do not know by which legal process this land could be sold, as a resident, I was neither informed nor consulted about it. All my neighbors say the same thing. We have petitioned the council, and I hope this letter reaches a wider public.
Our website, SaveLafargePark.com lists a number of protest activities in which we hope your readers may join us. Too few green and tranquil public spaces remain in this overdeveloped city. Save Lafarge Park before it is be too late.
John Smith

IELTS WRITIBG TASK 2 - DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS - SHARASCHANDRIKA

Some people think that intelligence is innate, while others think we can improve our intelligence through learning. Discuss both sides and give your opinion? Intelligence is measured by IQ. A person is more intelligent only when he has more IQ, although we can improve our IQ by working on it. Intelligent people can analyze spontaneously, think intellectually and their memory is also at a good standard. As every coin has 2 sides in the same way every argument has more than one opinion. Some people think intelligence is innate although many others think intelligence can be improved. In my subsequent paragraphs, I will explain both sides more broadly.   Many people think intelligence is inborn and  children will get genes from their parents or ancestors. So if a person or his ancestor has a good IQ, it can be inherited by their children not only IQ but also many qualities can be inherited f om  Parents. If a person is a singer or a dancer then his or her child gets that talent from their

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - DISCUSSION ESSAY - SANJANA REDDY KOTHA

Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Environment, the most essential term for human life plays a major role in the cycle of nature. These days the environmental conditions are degrading day by day, few of them say, extinction of species in biotic organisms is one of the causes. Others say that there are different environmental problems. I'm going to discuss both of them in my writeup. On one hand, it is stated that, one of the causes for degradation of environment is the extinction of species and also getting endangered. Mostly, the life cycle of an animal or a plant depends on other species, when the species are getting endangered, the cycle is disturbed causing trouble to more organisms. This ensures that the  nature is unbalanced and also causing environmental problems. On the other hand,

In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?   Many people probe into the stories of their homes to find the history of the house or building they live in simply because they are curious. Most cities have been in existence since a long period of time and many of its ancient buildings are examples of the stories she (the city) has to narrate to those who’ve forgotten about her.   Many people get into fields related to the study of such stories and buildings whereas, the others research about this out of their inquisitiveness. With cities being developed as concrete jungles, most neighbourhoods and houses look alike thus making people wonder what’s so different or unique about the homes they live in. They may want to know why they spent a million dollars buying an apartment in one specific area because they were getting a similar lo
