Dear………………..,

I have, in today’s post, received your letter pointing out to me about the unbearable noise from my flat. Let me, at the outset, thank you for the frankness shown to me in doing so. I, myself, and my wife do not like much noise ourselves. Moreover, I am very well aware of the fact that there are elderly people in your flat. I am sure you would bear with me when explain.

A few days back, my sister and her two boys came to our flat from the States with the intention of staying with us for a few weeks before buying a flat in the city for themselves. The boys are excited to be with us; they love loud music and a little noise. Over and above, they have brought in a really noisy dog. You will now understand the cause of the turmoil here.

I have already sent the dog to the Dog Club for the coming days; the boys have been admonished. I am sure you will not have more of the ‘mayhem’ here.

With love and regards,

Sincerely,

Writing Task 2 (AC+GT):-

29th February, Best IELTS Speaking Writing Task

Many people believe that women make better parents than men and that is why they have a greater role in raising children in most societies. Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting. How far do you agree to the statement? State examples and reasons to support your answer.

Sample Answer:-

Though the traditional belief is that it is the duty of women to raise children, gender roles have changed in the present paradigm shift. Parents have equal responsibilities in bringing up their children; but in general, women have more influence on their children than men. This essay agrees to the view that males are equally good at parenting.

First and foremost, why women are better parents is because of the bond created between the mother and the child from the time of conception. For example, a mother bears a child in her womb for ten months. Lactation could be a reason for intimacy between the mother and the child.

Another factor for this phenomenon can be attributed (=is a result of) to women’s passive attitude and tolerant nature. In general, most women are empathetic and they use less aggressive measures in problem solving. Certainly, they show more kindness and sympathy. Children, as they are vulnerable, tend to be closer t their mothers than to their fathers.

However, each individual is unique. There are a few cases in which careless and irresponsible mothers have caused injury or death to their children. Conversely, there have been fathers exceptionally good at parenting, who have made their children grow up into happy and sensible adults.

Having analysed the various factors of parenting, it can be concluded that children need both parents for their proper physical and intellectual development. However, although parenting has traditionally been considered as the duty of women, in adverse circumstances, men can be as adept at it as women.

PART 2 – Cue Card

Describe your visit to a railway station/bus station/air port

Where and when you visited
Why you visited
Describe the place

Sample Answer:-

I would like to talk about my visit to the Kalupur Railway Station of my city. I visited it last month, as I wanted to go to a nearby city of my state with my family. It is located in the heart of my city. It is a big station having a total of 12 platforms and it is concerned to all station of my state and all tier-I and tier-II stations of my country. It is a big place with a huge building for administration. It has a large parking place and wide entry gate to update the travelers about the latest situation of trains. The station is a busy place can always be seen on most windows. This situation reflects the number of people using the station.

The station is a well-maintained place where we get regular updates on the enquiry counter as well as all platforms. All platforms are connected with three foot over bridges where people can easily move through all platforms and all the list of trains arriving and departing from the particular platforms is available at the staircase of regular distances that keep the passengers updated about the arrival or departure of their trains. In addition, we can buy medicines, refreshments, books and all required things on all platforms. The station has separate air-conditioned building for computer reservation where we can book our ticket for our ticket for our journeys in advance. I appreciate this place because it serves well to the people of my city and my state.

PART 3 – Discussion

29th February, Best IELTS Speaking Writing Task

What facilities should be provided at such places?

There are a number of facilities required at such places. For example, parking area for visitors, enquiry counters, display of timetables with real time updates, waiting area for passengers, free water and toilets, canteen for refreshments, cloakroom and security systems to protect the luggage of passengers.

Which type of travel do you prefer, air or rail and why?

I prefer air travel to rail because air travel is faster, convenient and luxuries compared to rail travel. In addition, air travel is getting cheaper because of stiff competition among airline companies in many countries of the world.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rail travel compared to air travel?

Rail travel is cheaper, safer and more enjoyable compared to air travel. However it is slower than air travel. This is the reason I prefer rail travel I prefer rail travel for short distances to air travel because railway stations are located in the downtowns of most cities of my country whereas airports are located in the peripheries of cities thus, if we have to go to a short distance travel, the overall time taken from home to the airport and the air travel itself proves longer than the time taken for rail travel.

Are you satisfied with the air travel/ rail travel of your country system of your country?

Well, both systems are quite competent in my country. However, I do have a few concerns about both. First, railway stations are not clean and tidy. At the same places we can smell some bad odour. Next, security system is not so efficient at most railway stations, which allows criminals and terrorists to commute and execute their activities easily. For air travel, I can say that the number of airports is far less than required and existing airports are not big enough to handle the increasing number of flights. Hence, aircrafts waste valuable aviation fuel in waiting for their turn to land and take off.

Do you support strict security measures at such places?

I strongly favour strict security measures at bus stations, rail stations and airports. Security systems at such places serve manifold purposes. First they protect tourists and their luggage from illegal activities. Second, they prevent movement of antisocial elements or illegal goods. Last, they help in protecting from terrorist, which, to me is the most important reason for strict security measures at these places.
