Dear Sir/ Madam, I hope

this

letter finds you well. I am reaching out to express my concerns regarding the proposed development of the shopping centre in our city. I recently got to know about

this

project during our monthly Housing Society meeting. All the members were very excited about

this

new venture and we all reviewed the plans and

location

. I understand the motive behind

this

development

Add a missing verb

is to

show examples

boost local commerce and provide a variety of shopping options,but I believe that it is not in the best interest of our community for several reasons.

Firstly

, the suggested

location

is in the heart of a residential area, which would undoubtedly increase the traffic congestion

as well as

noise pollution adversely impacting the quality of life.

Furthermore

, our city already has several shopping centres struggling to attract customers and are on the verge of shutting down, building a new

location

will only dilute their present customer base and create more problems for local businesses.

Lastly

according to

my perspective,

instead

of building a new shopping mall our town can benefit enormously from a recreation centre for all age groups .

This

can allow people to focus on their fitness and provide convenient facilities for many other sports .

Moreover

, in context with the

location

, If we can amend that by choosing a less busy area can attract more people to the facility and can be a good source of income for the City Council. I hope that you will consider my suggestions ! Yours Faithfully, Pranav Dhawan.

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.

When choosing the best candidate for a job, employers should consider personal qualities more than qualification and experience. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that companies hiring new employees should focus more on the personality of each candidate rather than evaluating just their qualifications and experience. I believe that a hardworking and motivating candidate could benefit certain businesses but a lot of fields need certified experts.
