 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 WRITING TASK 2 - DISCUSSION ESSAY - SANJANA REDDY KOTHA

-

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,

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE ESSAY - RUTWIK REDDY ANUGU

-
Some people think that it should be compulsory for people to retake their driving test every five years. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this? Nowadays, there is an increase in automobiles on the roads, which aligns with the numerous road accidents. Many argue that instead of taking a single driving test in their life, everyone must undergo the test periodically. What are the positives  and demerits of retaking the driving test? This essay discusses both the positive and negative sides of the repeated driving test in the subsequent passages. On the one hand, the main advantage of the repeated driving test is, we can cut down on many road accidents by educating the motorists about new rules enforced every year. In other words, a person who periodically takes a driving test will be well aware of traffic rules, so there won't be any chance of disobeying regulations. Ultimately, people don't commit any mistakes while driving, which decreases the chances of freque

IELTS SPEAKING - PART 1 - TOPIC : ISLAND

-
Have you ever been to any island? Yes, I have! Actually, I lived on an island for 3 months back in 2016. My mother was offered to work at a resort for 2 years, so I joined them there for 3 months.  Isl and life was quite an interesting experience! Are there any islands in your country? Yes, there are. There is one famous island called X, famed for its  crystal clear  water and white sands. I’ve heard the pagodas are very interesting to visit there, as well. I haven’t been yet, but I dream of going there for a  girls getaway (when women go on a trip together)  sometime in the future Do you want to live on an island if you have a chance? Not really. Islands are beautiful, but I felt really  isolated (separated from others)  when I lived on one before. As I’m an active person, I felt there wasn’t much to do. Sure, the beach is great, but it gets boring day after day. What do you like to do when you are on an island? Beach of course! Behind that, I like  getting to know
