IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Your local authorities have decided to open an adult education centre in your area where people from 18 to 30 can follow courses and activities which interest them. They have invited the public to write giving their views on
– its value to the community
– opening hours, facilities which the building should have and its location.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear …………….. ,
I am writing in response to the decision to open an adult education centre in our area.
Firstly, let me state that I was delighted when I heard the news that such a centre was to be established in our community. In my view, it will provide valuable services not normally available to most people. It is not often that one has the chance to go back to school due to responsibilities such as work and child-rearing.
I believe that the centre should have as many courses and activities as possible. For example, by providing facilities such as a science laboratory, not only will students benefit, but the centre will as well.
In order for people to be able to use the centre effectively, I think that the most suitable opening hours would be from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm, Monday to Friday. For those of us who cannot attend during the week, the centre could open on Saturday from 8.30 am to 1.00 pm. As far as people with children are concerned, perhaps the centre could set up a day-care unit so that youngsters could be looked after while their parents attend classes.
Regarding location, I would suggest that the centre will be built along the riverside, overlooking Sunset Bay. It is the most inspiring place and very convenient as it is close to the bus and train stations. Alternatively, the centre could be built in the park beside the Museum of Fine Arts.
All in all, I think that an adult education centre will help to enhance our community both culturally and financially. I am looking forward to taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity that is being offered.
Yours Sincerely,
John Smith
