Answer

Dear John

I am happy to know about your decision to stay at my home. Unfortunately, I will not be at home during your stay due to an unavoidable business tour. So, to make yourself at home, you need to know some useful information.

Firstly, as you are coming in my absence, you can get a spare key from my neighbors whom you have already met earlier. I have already informed them about your stay. Further, there may be some things which will be new to you like cleaning robot and electrical cook-top. Unlike the traditional cook top, there is no need to Ignite the fire with a matchstick, you can simply press the button to start it. Nextly, cleaning robot is a new gizmos for me and you. Before turning it on, remember to clean the dust bucket. If it is full, it will not be able to collect more dirt and roam freely on electricity. One more thing that you need to remember is to switch off all appliances and lights before stepping out from house.

As you are coming to relax here, you will get plenty of time to visit picturesque locations of Chandigarh. In this season, roses in Rose Garden are at full bloom, please do not give it a miss. Elante Mall is the second best place to visit. It is a newly opened mall, with all types of shops, restaurants and fun activities. As you have been here earlier, only these two new attractions are missing from your bucket list. Do watch these places to have spellbound experience.

Hope your stay at my place will be memorable and we will get a chance to meet in your next visit.

Yours truly

IELTS Writing Task 2 - Some people think that teenagers years are happiest time of most people's life

Some people think that teenagers years are happiest time of most people's life. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, in spite of great responsibilities. Discuss both the views and give your opinion.

Life is divided into three phases namely childhood, young age and old age./ Life is a long and beautiful journey from cradle to grave. Each and every phase of life has its own share of joys and sorrows. For one section of society, teenage is golden period of life but for others, the same applies to adult age. In this essay, I will shed light on both opinions along with my view.

Rolling the ball with the reasons behind teenagers' happiness. In teen years, children are free from the work responsibilities as for them only completing homework is a duty. Moreover, after school and homework, they have time to pursue their hobbies. Hobbies make a person happy by relaxing their mind. Further, child may not earn a single penny but his all desires are fulfilled in blink of an eye by his parents. So, in short, kids are prince and princess of their house  whose words are commands.

Moving to adult age, although in this age, people are working round the clock but their this work and hard core earned salary, make them independent to take decisions. The right to take decisions in life silently falls in their court  and this independence gives them joy, now they can decide their company, friends and partner. In adult age, a person settles and gets a spouse, his happiness doubles as it is known that happiness doubles when sharing and sorrows lessen. Above all, the new events like getting first salary, meeting life partner, becoming parent take them to cloud nine and give joy that cannot be expressed in words. 

Finally, I would like to draw the curtain with my views. Simply, for a person, it would be difficult to choose between arm and leg as both are imperative and has their own significance. Similarly, both the stages have unique place in a person's life. Deciding between this would be difficult,qs both are beautiful in their own ways.  Spring of life teaches many things while adult age gives chance to try those things. So, people should enjoy life to fullest life is like an ice cream, enjoy it before it melts.

IELTS Writing Task 1 Letter - You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase number of flights

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase number of flights. You live near the airport. Write a letter to local newspaper. In your letter explain

- where do you live

- describe the problem

- give reasons why you do not want this development

Answer

Dear sir

I am writing this epistle in regards to the 'airport expansion' article published in your newspaper on May the 25th. The proposal to expand the airport and increase the flight will have adverse effect on people living in its vicinity.

My house is five minutes drive from the airport and this proximity will turn into bane after the proposal. Firstly, most flights means more noise. As take off and landing create a lot of annoying noise, it is difficult for a person to work peacefully and have a sound sleep at night. Moreover, many people living near the airport are already suffering from insomnia due to the low flying airplanes at night. 

Further, to expand it, more area is needed that directly points to the cutting of trees in the surrounding areas of the airport. This will decrease the area of children's park, it is also used by mature people for exercising and walking.

I strongly oppose this plan. I would appreciate if you could possibly write an article about this problem. It would be very much in public interest if the ministry of Aviation and tourism be made aware of public grievance that would be bound to face.

Yours sincerely

Answer

Dear Stephen

I am happy to know about your next month visit and to read your wish of being received by me. Stephen, it would have been my pleasure to welcome a great personality. But I am afraid, unfortunately the opportunity has slipped out of my hand and I feel very sad about it. But I have made alternative arrangements to welcome you.

Last day, my team leader called meeting and announced a site visit to Dubai in first week of next month. This announcement cancelled my plan of taking leaves and skipping the site visit is like, breaking a rule for senior software developer like me. Because of this, I will not be able to receive you at the airport and I hope you will understand my situation and forgive me this time.

Although I will not be there, my absence will be substituted by our old friend John. He is very happy to know about your trip and is ready to welcome you at the airport. Please share your arrival time so that I can inform John before hand.

Hope to meet you after my Dubai visit and wishing you a safe and happy journey.

IELTS Writing Task 2 - Sports help to build peace in the world. Agree or disagree

Some people assert that sports help to a great extent to build peace in the world. Do you agree or disagree?

In the world, where hatred, terrorism and war have become rife, sports have emerged as a peacemaker as it spread the message of sportsmanship and brotherhood.

Sports are known to unite the world. In sports competition, people of distant race, caste, creed, beliefs and nationalities participate compete with each other, give rise to equality. This is commonly seen in the “ Olympics”, there people of various countries participate and face each other but in a friendly manner. Moreover, sportsmanship teaches them to live in harmony as they get to know about other people's behavior, language and culture. Prejudiced view for a section of society changes after knowing folks as it is better to meet people and then judge their opinion rather than simply drawing a conclusion.

To illustrate aforementioned view, an example of India and Pakistan is sufficient. World know they are die heart enemies of each other. But in cricket field, different picture is witnessed every time, a Pakistani was singing India's national anthem. Further, hatred doesn't prevail in the hearts of common man, it is all due to the politicians, who deceive others for their benefits. When, the sports lover visit other country for watching competition, they get to know about real picture of the country. Their illusion fades away and fill them with love for others.

All in all, sports inculcate the good qualities in the person and make them ambassador of peace who believes in humanity, unity, equality and brotherhood. Most healthy competitions should be organised to Foster these qualities in the world.
