Speaking part 2 :describe a change of local

I'm going to say the building in the local district, which is the Opera Theater would be constructive, and the other is rebuilding the local library. those old one both were destroyed by the disasters typhoon and frequent earthquake. as the result of its inter-constructive and outer - wall collapse. Considering those facts that is why leading the local council has been dealing this case with an emergency because of the two buildings would be dangerous cause the harm of the surrounding area.

on the other hand, maintained the development of local. the government seriously set the big plan as the international racing chart, involved the huge budget on the proposed to build. besides, the local company working with the famous Japanese architect on a collective level.
The opera house is famous of its curved wall, it is recorded by the discover channel as its reporting a very highest task, it is tackling any problems, it is overcome it.
And ,the submarine library also well-know its shape look like a submarine, win its reputation of the south district. people come to see this monster

As a citizen, I would like to see those two buildings would be​ a​ landmarks in the local, moreover, as pretty of picturesque it would become a hot destination as well as attracting visitor come from different areas, as a result it is obvious to foresee the economic growth of local.
​T​he other benefits ​for local area there ​are in terms of more space for study​ ​, doing an activity as spare time. such as performer playing, the biking, and the dancing

Thanks a lot ,
i believe that the more practice , the less mistakes.

I'm glad you liked the advice!

Hi Simon,

I took the July 25th exam and here is the writing task 2 question.

some people spend more and more time travelling between work, home and school. what are the reasons for this? What are the solutions to tackle the problem?

I got 7 in writing thanks for this site very helpful..

Hi simon!

I just want to ask you if the examiner for speaking the same examiner to mark the writing papers?

tm,

No, it should be a different examiner for each.

Hello Simon,

I have 2 queries regarding Academic Task-2 writing:

1) If I write 50 to 60 words for both introduction and conclusion, will it create any problem to reduce my band score?

2)Can I write balanced opinion for Opinion and
Discussion + opinion question types?

Thanks a lot simon! I just took the exam last August 13 and here is the topic:
International tourism sometimes make people prejudiced instead of broad-minded. What are the reasons why tourists fail to get the benefit of tourism? What can be done to increase their understanding of the other country?

Hi Simon,

I took your online course and aware of 4types of questions, but I find a typical question confusing.

"Do you think the advantages of economic development outweigh the disadvantages?"

Is this a Opinion or Discussion question? In this type of question, do I need to address both advantages and disadvantages and to compare them? If I think there is no disadvantages for Economic Growth at all, what do you suggest to build 2 main paragraphs, please?

Nash

Dear Simon,

I have a doubt.like in task 2 essay writing,answering a discussion question-" successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair.Discuss both the views and give your opinion"

in ANS: in introduction can we write "in my opinion,though it is not fully justified,..."

could you please clear my doubt.

Thank you

Dear Simon

    another doubt is, in opinion ques."to what extent do you agree or disagree" type,
    shall we start the essay as " it is true,that..."

    please clear this doubt also

    Thank you

Hi Simon,

Your essay writing tips are definitely handy for English test taker like me.

Thank you for being a generous teacher.

Dear Simon,

Thanks for sharing your useful ideas.
I have questions.

you said that "Then try writing different types of main paragraph e.g. an 'advantages' paragraph, an 'opinion' paragraph, a 'problem' paragraph etc.""

Is that means it is better to write several type of paragraphs for one subject?
For example, if I write about "money topic", write advantage, opinion, problem about money topic. Is it true?
Unfortunately, I cannot understand exactly how to practice.

Thanks in advance

Hi tad,

Yes, you could try writing different types of paragraph for the same subject. Or you could take different subjects and write a different paragraph for each one. You'll find that some subjects are more suitable for discussion, others for problem/solution, others for giving an opinion.

The key is to practise writing the various types of paragraph as much as possible.

Dear Simon

Thanks for your advice kindly.
I hope I'll tell you my best score as soon as possible.
