IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
A building company is planning to build new houses on some land near where you live and has asked the people to give their comments. Write a letter to the manager of the building company and
– Say how you heard about the plan of the building company
– Give your opinion of the plan
– Say what you hope the building company will do.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir,
I am writing this letter to express my concern about your plan to build new houses in the vacant land near my residence. I came to know about this plan from the local tabloid newspaper.
Yesterday, as I was flicking through the pages of the local ‘Jagdambay Times’, I came across your ad related to this housing colony you are proposing for this site. Honestly speaking, I was shocked. This open space is needed for the children of the surrounding areas to play outdoor games. Every evening you can see young people play cricket and football here. This is the only open space in this locality. As it is, this whole area has become a concrete jungle. More buildings here would add to the congestion of the area.
If at all you have to make houses here, I hope your building company leaves a green belt all around and leave some space for a small park. On behalf of all the residents of my locality I humbly urge you to consider this request and do the needful. I am sure this step would also be welcomed by the people who would buy your new houses. It would be a win-win situation for all.
Hoping for a favourable response from you regarding this appeal!
Yours faithfully,
