Your local council is considering closing a sports and leisure centre that it runs, in order to save money. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter, • give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre • explain why the sports and leisure centre is important for the local community • describe the possible effects on local people if the centre closes

Dear Sir,
This
is Sravya, a resident of 502 from Aparna block in Durga petals. I am surprised to know that the council is planning to shut down the sports or leisure block as part of the cost-cutting process. My family and I have been using it since I moved into the house. The services availed by my parents are practising meditation as advised by my brother who is a doctor. Apart from
this
, gym classes are a more interesting and motivating activity for my wife to stay fit and healthy.
In addition
to that, My kids feel excited when they are learning skating classes in the evening after school.
Moreover
, I participate in swimming competitions twice a weekend with my neighbours. With that said, managing sports and leisure activities for the community is crucial as most of the
people
are employees they could not allocate time for these services if they are not available within the gated society. Engaging

improves not only their physical health but
also
their mental ability.
Additionally
, it provides quality time to spend with family or friends. Closing the sports block projects a few negative impacts. It affects
people
of all ages including young ones. If there are no sporting events, residents would have to travel to the city which takes extra time to commute.
People
find it extremely difficult to go for one activity as all are not available in one place. I hope you consider my thoughts and make a positive call. Yours sincerely, Sravya

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
