As you know, my house is always open for you. You can stay at my house during your visit to my town.

Moving to the activities that you can do, Steven as I know you are a religious person with love for history. So, I would recommend a definite visit to Golden Temple, Jaliawala Bagh and Wagaha Border in Amritsar. Actually, you have already heard about former two places from me, a number of time and have expressed your wish to see these. Along with these, you can visit Chandigarh, the first planned city of India, this is famous for Sukhana Lake, Sector 17, Rock Garden and Rose Garden. You will need a day or two to visit popular places os Chandigarh. Steven. I know you like hiking and mountains, your this desire will be fulfilled in the Dalhousie. There you can go for hiking, para-sailing and other related activities.

As far as clothing is concerned, you will be here in the month of November. Therefore,  you will need warm clothes as central heating system like your European countries is not installed in the most of the buildings. So to fully enjoy your trip, staying warm in winter clothes is necessary.

You are welcome with open heart and open arms./ Eager to see you soon.

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - Less communication between family members is less in this time period as compared to the past time

It is observed that communication between family members in today's time is less as compared to the past. However, some people do not think so. Do you agree or disagree?

The technological era has bestowed people with high-tech gizmos to communicate and to remain in touch of kith and kins, living near or far away from them. But the over indulgence of people in this gadgets have made them isolated leading to less interaction with family members. Not only this is the cause, there are many other factors that are decreasing the conversation between family members.

In yester years, people work intent in their life and were satisfied with their available resources. But today people have become green-eyed monsters who are ready to live a slavery life to have whole nine yards. In this race to acquire everything, they remain busy and half replaced their family time with the office time. Along with money, status is very prominent in today's elite societies. To maintain it, elders of the family attend social functions more than their kids school functions and substitute their absence by giving mobile phones and other gadgets to their children.

Further, kids today are highly ambitious. They want to leave a mark in society and the world. Their this desire is fulfilled by devoting more time to particular activity find their this habit isolates them firstly for their near ones and make them introvert eventually. Finally, commonly known that every new generation think, they are better than the last, because of this, generation gap is never ending phenomenon. Due to this gap, it is difficult to see eye to eye on a topic and fights take place due to differences. For instance, in India, till last year, it was very difficult for children to confront parents and tell them about their liking for same gender. This was because the orthodox thinking of parents. So, this thinking gap makes either of them numb.

Contemplating my aforementioned views, I would like to conclude that technology has given us devices to ease our life not to drag us away from our family. It's upto us, rather than giving excuse of less time or no time to family members, people should try to plan their schedule in such a way that they can easily manage their personal and professional life.

Writing task 2 - Public transport free of charge

Some people argue that public transport should be made completely free of charge. Are there more advantages over disadvantages of this decision?

Answer:

Public transport id like the life line in the big cities across the world. Authorities expend hefty amount of money in the development and maintenance of public transport system. Since, it has wider reach, some argue that it should be made free for all. This suggestion will bore more disadvantages than a few advantages.

Firstly, free things are exploited faster the natural resources. People's attitude towards free transportation will become a reason of dirty and damaged buses and other modes of transports. Moreover, this leads to over crowded vehicles that can suffocate many. Like, it is commonly seen, whenever government of India started a free train to some pilgrimages, passengers were seen hanging from the trains, putting their life in danger and leaves littered transport behind.

Government need money to run a nation and to provide facilities to each and every citizen. Ticket amount helps in this work. The money collected from this, is spent on the construction of roads, railway tracks and many other developmental works. Not only this, free public transport will shut many businesses. There are man who have owned taxi business and have employed number of people/ The free transport system will collapse this business as people will prefer free services more than the paid ones.

However, this system will lessen the number of private vehicles on the road but as public transport has many stoppages in the routes, the person can be late which is unacceptable in today's fast paced life. Further, free system will somewhere benefit the poor community of a nation.

All in all, disadvantages of free public transport overweight its advantages. Government should not make the transport free of cost but can charge a small amount of money to balance its developmental works and to handle the other financial problems.
