WRITING TASK -1 Model Answer

Dear Mr Phillip,
I am a pupil of your evening Spanish language course in which I got enrolled
last week. However, I will not be able to continue the course due to a sudden
foreign official tour. I am hoping that you would allow me to intake it from next
semester.
I am working in the risk management division of Prime Bank Limited. This bank
has a subsidiary company in Hong Kong where an incident has been reported
by the governing authority. For that, I will have to travel to Hong Kong next week
with a team to analyze the whole situation, scrutinise the allegations against the
company and take appropriate measures. The whole process might take more
than two months, and I cannot continue my evening language course under
your supervision for that.
Under the circumstances, I would like to request you to transfer me to the next
semester and allow me to take the course without any further registration.
Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Yashal

WRITING TASK-2 MODEL ANSWER

Humans and animals have shared a very special relationship since the dawn of time.
Humans have used animals for sustenance, for work and also for companionship. In the
recent times, there has been a growing concern for the endangered species, with
increasing number of birds and animals becoming extinct. I disagree with the point that
the habitat for endangered species should be allowed to be used for housing and
industries, thus giving more importance to human needs.

To support my opinion, firstly, the humans should be considerate and humane towards
the Mother Nature and the living beings on earth. Consider the example of parrots, at
present, parrots can be seen only in the animated movies or in the zoos. If the right
steps would have been taken at the appropriate time, we could have saved more
parrots. By being considerate for the animals we are making sure that the food chain of
animals does not get disturbed and thus does not disturb the cycle of nature.

To give the problem a different perspective, the problem of land for more housing and
industries should be solved with more constructive ways. Cities can be designed and
planned with modern technology to use optimum land thus saving the land for the
needful endangered species. To give an example, Singapore has a well-laid
infrastructure which uses latest technologies to promote bio-diversity. The government
has created national parks for the endangered species. Thus, both humans and animals
thrive in harmony with constructive methods used to build modern cities.

To conclude, although the demand for land is growing every day for more human
needs, there are constructive ways by which the supply can be produced, without
endangering more animals and risking their extinction. It is also recommended to study
and observe the modern city models like Singapore and South Korea to promote
constructive ideas instead of destructive methods.
