Answer & explanation
I think our library should reserve one room for silent study. First, some people have no quiet space at home, so the library may be their only chance to concentrate. Second, a clear rule would reduce arguments between visitors who expect different things. Last month, I was preparing for an exam when a group began discussing a project beside me. They were doing useful work, but I found it difficult to read. I understand that students also need places to work together. For that reason, I would keep the main room open for normal conversation and use the smaller room for silence. Signs at both doors could explain the difference. This would not satisfy every need, but it would give visitors a reasonable choice without asking everyone to behave in exactly the same way.
One possible model, not an answer key. Self-check: Can a reader find all these required points: a clear opinion, two supporting reasons, a concrete example, acknowledgement of another view and a concluding sentence? Structure: State a position, support it with reasons and an example, address another view, and return to the position. “First,” → “I understand that students also need”. Language: “This would not satisfy every need, but it would give visitors a reasonable choice without asking everyone to behave in exactly the same way.” The wording expresses a position while allowing a condition or limitation; a different well-supported position may also fulfil the task. Other wording and organisation can meet the task. Keep any supplied facts. This is self-review, not an automatic language score.
A community website asks whether a monthly car-free afternoon would be useful. You may invent personal details; keep any facts supplied in this task.
Write 120–150 words giving your opinion. Support it with two reasons and an example, consider a different view and conclude.
Answer & explanation
I would support a monthly car-free afternoon in the town centre, provided that access for people who need it is protected. One reason is that families could walk around more comfortably. Another is that local groups would have space to organise activities. At a similar event I visited last year, a small repair workshop attracted people who had never spoken to one another before. However, I understand why some shopkeepers worry about deliveries and customers carrying heavy bags. The council should discuss a clear delivery period and keep nearby accessible parking available. It should also ask businesses about their experience after each event. A trial seems better than either making a permanent change immediately or rejecting the idea without testing it. With careful planning, one afternoon could bring benefits without creating unnecessary difficulties.
