IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You recently discovered plans to build a new airport in your area and are unhappy with it. Write a letter to the local authority.
In your letter
– say how you found out about the plans
– explain what problems your neighborhood will face
– suggest some possible solutions to those problems.
SAMPLE ANSWER
I am writing to you to express my dissatisfaction about the authority’s decision to construct a new airport near to Gotri area.
Recently I was discovered while reading the Times of India newspaper that the new airport is being planned in Gorti near to lakeside area and I was very surprised about the central authority’s decision for selection of site.
Kindly note that this area is a recedential area and there is a primary school just in front of Gotri lack, hence loud noise from airplanes will disturb students and local citizens. In addition, the roads of the gotri area are four-lane roads and there is no space for future expansion of the roads, so this will further worsen the traffic consumption.
Instead, I recommend planning the airport in the Sevasi area which is a suburban area 5km away from Gotri, also there are plenty of government lands are available there, thus airport and road expansions could be planned easily.
Looking forward to your positive response.
Yours faithfully,
Manoj Pandya
