Dear sir,

My name is Elizabeth. I have recently started living in your apartment at Highlands society. This is to apprise you that I m exceedingly displeased with the facilities at the apartment.

Upon moving into the apartment, we realized that it was not furnished as promised. Although, the agreement clearly states that the apartment provided to us will be furnished, it lacks basic facilities refrigerator, a television, an air conditioner. Additionally, the water is not available 24×7, which is another anomaly from the contract agreement.

Consequently, my husband has to travel to the nearest market in scorching heat in order to buy cold water for home. Because there is no television children feel bore mostly as they can not watch their favourite cartoon shows. Exasperatingly, all of my family members have to wake up early in the morning to take bath because water supply is terminated after 7am.

Please bear in mind that you are bound to resolve these issues as per our signed contract. Otherwise, I will have no other option than to pursue it legally.

Looking forward to a quick resolution to above mentioned issues.

Yours sincerely,
Elizabeth

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 TIPS I AGREE / DISAGREE FORMAT I As only small percentage of people have interest in the arts, government funding for this is a waste of money. Spending this on health and education would be far more beneficial to society. To what extent do you agree? Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

As only small percentage of people have interest in the arts, government funding for this is a waste of money. Spending this on health and education would be far more beneficial to society. To what extent do you agree?

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

Art is the finest form of humanistic expression bringing forth different emotions and feelings. In this context, state financing for the same has become a contentious issue as the number of people interested in it is less. Henceforth, A section of society advocates that Executive bodies should employ most of their funds in inevitable public services such as Education, Health as it will play paramount role in acquiring sustainable development. However, I partially agree to the given statement.

Apparently, arts serve many a purpose in building up an ethical and value oriented fraternity as it is the rarest form that upholds humanistic values. Besides, art is a medium by that dissent against existing social set-up is successfully brought out which, in turn, brings in myriad social revolution. Furthermore, arts can instill in a man with the fine attributes of being a man like fellow feeling, compassion, empathy etcetera. Such characteristics make a man uniquely different from animals by elevating human spirits to a glorified and virtuous heights. Lastly, it is a tourism booster which creates enormous job prospects and thereby stabilizes the economy of a country. Louvre museum in paris that showcases more than 0.4 million pieces of art is case in point because it stands as an epitome for successful French tourism.

On the other hand, health and education is considered to be the backbone of a nation. Firstly, education empowers us intellectually to interact with others in our life. It brings maturity and teaches us to live in society with changing environment. It is a way to social development, economic growth and technological development. Secondly, it is a tool which stimulates safety and security against crime. There will be prevention of wars, terrorism and strife. Thirdly, more space exploration, search for extraterrestrial life. The investment in this sector will be in the form of establishing more schools, universities and vocational training centres for the school drop-outs and also providing scholarships for continuing higher education. 

Likewise, It is indispensable that everyone in the society has the means to get the basic health benefits. Authorities can invest in the health sector in numerous ways. The medical practitioners should be taken care by providing them with the sufficient remuneration and advantages so that the important skill migration in the medical field of the country could be avoided. Also, the higher bodies can educate the general public and implement many vaccination programs across the counties to eradicate many diseases such as polio, chicken pox and malaria.

Suffice to say, Art, health and education are the only valuable assets human can achieve. On the one hand, art play an integral part of the society’s cultural and intellectual development and amusement. On the other hand, health and education enable to create fine balance of our body, mind and spirit. So, it is high time that Government should allocate funds in all these fields for the rapid growth of a society.

IELTS I WRITING I TASK 2 I SAMPLE ANSWER I BAND 9.0 I Some think that children should start school as early as possible, while others believe that they should start school at the age of seven. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

 Some think that children should start school as early as possible, while others believe that they should start school at the age of seven. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)







Indubitably, Education is the only valuable asset human can achieve. It is renowned axiom that ‘ A child without education is like a bird without wings’. Henceforth, It is the prime responsibility of parents to send their children to school at the right age. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society deems that younglings should begin their formal education at a very early age, whereas others emphasis that the age of seven years Is the best for young people to commence educational studies.

Apparently, various factors make a section of people advocate that sending the child to school as early as possible holds wide range of constructive benefits. To begin with, Kids will develop social as well as intellectual skills hence have more chances to succeed in the future. Research shows that speed of connections made between neurons is faster during first five years. Secondly, the child is like a empty bucket and their character is like molten clay, one can mould these innocent incarnation of God as they want to in their formative years of character building only. Thirdly, the kindergartens are more play school, which helps to learn things in an interactive and fun way. For example, there are dance classes, music classes, scrumptious meals, the soft toys and games are the added charm. Lastly, if a child lives in an atmosphere of immense care upto seven then the substantial pamper by the Kiths and Kins may sometimes be detrimental as a child on later phase confront huge difficulty to come out from his/her comfort zone which shows rampant results.

ON the other hand, people who support the idea of allowing children to stay at home until the age of seven have myriad reasons. First and foremost is , a child under the age of seven is so vulnerable and needs lots of care and attention. Thus, no one like a parent would care about his/her own child.  Secondly, parents are the true heroes for the children because the latter imitates the former like a copycat. Resultantly, parents are the corner stone that guide children to build up a good behavioural pattern. Thirdly, family being the biggest institution like religion exerts enormous influence in the overall development of personality which ultimately makes him a highly valued citizen. Lastly, putting children under the pressure of study can hamper holistic growth of a child. Hence this practice should be discouraged.

In my opinion, importance of playful activities in young children’s development, and the value of an extended period of playful learning before the start of formal schooling is unsurpassable  as it leads to synaptic growth.

Some people are making new friends by using socializing network websites and internet chat rooms. Some people say that this is a good thing. Other people say that people should make new friends by face-to-face chat. Discuss these views and give your opinion?

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

Owing to the unexpected progress in science and Technology, social media platform is one of those technological innovations that are boundlessly used by people to taking in person. However, there are predominantly two contrasting views where a section of society deems that hypermedia plays indispensable part in making friendships and socializing. While others emphasis that making friends through direct contact is stronger and eternal.



On the one hand, interactive media like ‘Facebook’, ‘Twitter’ provides an insurmountable space for those who want to involve in friendships and find common ground, before even meeting. Online social groups have become fundamental building blocks of modern human societies. Adding further, we can keep in contact with anybody anywhere at any time, since it is geographically independent. Moreover, the feature of uploading and sharing videos not only provides information, but also entertainment. What more, chat rooms enable us to send and receive messages instantly. Video calling on whatsapp boosts the friendships. Hence, it is an awesome tool in finding new companions.

On the other hand, some believe that making friends via multimedia system can lead to isolation, potentially harmful situations in life and have plethora of reasons to substantiate it. To begin with, lots of people creating their duplicate profiles in the cyber space with exactly different information about what they are and making friends. Tender minds become pry in this play and some even spoils all their reasure and trust in others. Secondly, as this interaction is online, parents have no way of monitoring it and protecting their children. Thirdly, online friends can not be with you when you are sick and you need a friend’s touch. Face to face friends are with you in thick and thin and this can never be possible with online friends. Lastly, the worst part of technology is that the distant world is made closer and the near distant. For example, my sister, a technophile obsessed with latest electronic gadgets, always chats with friends on social networking sites but finds little time to interact with me.

In my opinion, Face to face communications lead to the development of trustworthy relationships that last long. Meeting a friend or a dear one over a coffee or in a park is always a memorable experience. Social media friendships lack that warmth. Also, we cannot expect our online friends living in another part of the globe to help us when we are in trouble. Hence virtual friends can never replace the real ones.

Sample Answer (8.0)

My home country is famous for its diverse culture and heritage, It is known as land of festivals and celebrations. People here give importance to religious and historical events. They celebrate them as a mark of remembrance of events. Many festivals are celebrated here like Holi, Baisakhi, Is, Dussehra,Christmas and many more. But the festival which has a paramount significance is Diwali.

Diwali is known to be festival of lights. Hindus celebrate it with great enthusiasm. It comes in the month of October or November, 20 days after Dussehra. People start preparing for this festival in advance. They clean and decorate their houses, buy new clothes, utensils and jewellery. Not Only this, markets and shops are also well decorated for this Gala day. The festival has a connection with the great Epic ‘Ramayana’. As Lord Rama returned on this day after 14 years of exile with his wife sita and younger brother Laxmana, so people of his kingdom celebrated his return with great joy and happiness by lighting earthen lamps and distributing sweets.

People wear new clothes, worship the Goddess of wealth Laxmi, exchange sweets and gifts with their friends, relatives and neighbours. Children enjoy this festival by bursting crackers. I also follow all traditions, customs and rituals to celebrate this festival . I also like it most due to its importance, sanctity and auspiciousness.

one 

thing I dislike about this holy day is that some people indulge themselves in drinking and gambling which is really very bad. The other thing is that just to have fun, people burst crackers of high noise bombs which create noise as well as air pollution.

● how you felt about it

● why do you think it was interesting

Sample Answer (Band 8.0)

Animals are imperative part of eco-system. They help to maintain food-chain in nature and without them there will be imbalance in nature . I like to watch and know about Animals but my favourite one is Elephant. It is found in most of the dense forests in my country.

I saw this animal for the first time in zoo during my childhood. Now I can see it in the circus and wildlife sanctuary. Sometimes, in the fair this animal is used for joy ride. The animal has a huge body, two fan like ears, a long trunk, tusks, a small tail and tiny eyes. This is an herbivorous animal. It has thick skin. It’s features make it funny and attractive among people.

People tame this wild animal and use it for different purposes like carrying load and for transportation. In circus it is used for entertainment. This animal is killed for its tusk which has a great export value. The decoration pieces made from tusk are very costly. In my county, in some of the states it is worshipped as it symbolises Lord Ganesha and as the most intelligent animal . I like the animal for its giant body structure and intelligence.

Elephant is now becoming extinct in some parts of my country. So , It is considered as an endangered species. Government is taking many steps to protect this beautiful creature on earth.
