An old car was left on the street near your street several weeks ago. The car is now causing a problem for residents. Write a letter to the Council. In your letter: - Describe the car; - Outline the problems it is causing; - Tell the Council what you want them to do about it. Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Councilor,
My name is Alex and I am the one who lives in the area that you maintain. The reason for my letter to you is that someone parked a car in the middle of a road in our neighbourhood a few weeks ago. As an outcome, this situation creates lots of uncomfortable issues for the local people.

Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
The debate about whether parents or schools are more responsible for teaching children to be good members of society continues to divide opinions. Some believe that parents should take on this responsibility, while others argue that schools are better equipped for this role. In my view, both parents and schools play essential roles, and a combination of their efforts is ideal.

It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?
Positive and negative feedback has to be implemented in young people in order to show them the importance of having appropriate behaviours and the consequences of having those that are inappropriate. Then, I staunchly believe that children and youngsters should be rewarded and punished according to their performances, respectively. In this essay, I will explain my reasons in detail and how the professors and parents should manage the punishments.

Countries should start using nuclear power as their main source of energy; fossil fuels (i.e. coal, oil and gas) are not going to last forever and nuclear power is the cheapest alternative. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
It is stated that nuclear power serves as the best option to replace fossil fuels as a primary resource to generate power for nations because it is affordable and sustainable. However, this essay opposes that statement because it holds the potential to risk citizens if the nuclear being leaked and there are other alternative sources of energy available.
