IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
A company is appealing to your local city council to open a factory near where you live. You and your neighbors are opposed to the idea. Write to the city council stating
– why it is a bad idea
– Where it should be built
– Tell the council what you want them to do
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed factory near our residential area. Building a factory in this location would disrupt our community’s tranquility, increase noise pollution, and pose significant environmental risks, including potential contamination and poor air quality.
Our neighborhood has long been a haven for families seeking a peaceful environment, and introducing industrial activity here would undermine our quality of life. I urge the council to consider alternative locations for the factory, such as industrial zones that are already equipped to handle such developments. These areas are better suited for industrial purposes and would mitigate the negative impacts on residential communities.
Please reject the proposal to build the factory in our area and ensure it is relocated to a more appropriate site. We value our community’s well-being and hope you will take our concerns into account.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
