you have recently moved to different house. l write a letter to an English -speaking friend.in your letter Explain why you have moved. Describe the new house. invite your friend to come and visit.

Dear Amy, I am incredibly sorry for not having been in touch recently. My life has been a bit chaotic. The big news is that I have moved into a swanky apartment located in the city centre rather than living in my old house in the countryside. As you may know, I have finished my master’s degree program at Saint Mary University and landed a job with the ABC investment company. Working in the financial industry has always been my dream, so you can imagine how thrilled I am now. Since the company is in the city centre, I chose to move to a flat near my office, which saves a lot of commuting time. The new apartment is spacious with two bedrooms and a modern kitchen.

In certain countries, the number of people who use bicycles as the main means of transport is reducing even though it is beneficial both physically and environmentally. What can be the reasons for this change in preference? How can people be encouraged to use bicycles? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It has been observed in a few countries that the number of citizens travelling via bicycles has reduced due to the increasing demand for other modes of transport such as trains, cars, and motorcycles. As the time required for travelling via cycles is twice or more than the travel time via other modes the major cause for this issue is high time consuming. In this essay, I will elaborate more on the main reason for this change of preference along with reasonable solutions to overcome the same.
