Me

Dear Manager,

I have recently moved to the apartment 123 under your supervision. I write this letter to
bring to your notice the unsatisfactory state of the apartment and the premises. The
Apartment was not properly cleaned when I came to keep my things inside. However, I
thought it might be due to the unavailability of cleaners and returned without moving my
things in. In addition to this, I have observed that the taps were leaking and the AC
dysfunctional. Moreover, the place was smelly and the walls were not painted.

I am very much disappointed with the current state of the flat and is indecisive about
continuing my tenancy. Above all, the legacy of the apartment for cleanliness was the chief
motive for me to choose this over other cheaper ones. As a manager, I hope that you could
find a solution to these pressing issues within no time and ease my displeasure. I look
forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Thomas

Dear Manager,

I have recently moved into Apartment 123, which is under your supervision. I am writing to
bring to your attention the unsatisfactory state of the apartment and the premises. When I
first arrived, I found that the apartment had not been properly cleaned. I thought this might
be due to the unavailability of cleaners, so I returned without unpacking.

However, upon further inspection, I noticed that the taps were leaking, the air conditioning
was not functioning, and the place had a strong unpleasant odor. Furthermore, the walls
were in need of painting. I am extremely disappointed with the current state of the
apartment, and I am now hesitant to continue my tenancy.

One of the main reasons I chose this apartment was its reputation for cleanliness. As the
manager, I hope you can find a solution to these pressing issues promptly and address my
concerns.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Some people believe that universities should provide graduates with the skills needed in the

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

We live in a society in which people aiming to get into a university by any hooks or crooks,
hence the purpose of universities is a question of considerable worth. Some people believe
that universities should provide graduates with the skills needed in the workforce. On the
other hand, some think that the main function of a university is to provide knowledge for its
own sake. I agree with the former viewpoint.

First and foremost, the aim of getting admitted into a university is to land at a job.
Therefore, universities should primarily provide a student with the basic skills to acquire
their dream job. In order to secure a job a freshman should have the necessary skill set
matching for the profile from the pool of experienced and overqualified profiles. In addition
to this, the increase in demand for the supply of workforce now these days, necessitate
graduates to be trained in their future vocation.

We all know that, Knowledge having no application is a wastage of time and money. A
student who graduates with no practical skills is like an axe that is not sharpened. Moreover,
modern universities force a student to study for 4 to 5 years to acquire a degree. Along with
that, a student will have to start his job search on the face of financial needs, completely ill
equipped for the job market.

I strongly believe that universities should cater to the job specific skill acquisition needs of
graduates to enhance their confidence. In addition to this, they should train the youths to
hone their skills and maximize their potentials to achieve their career goals.

We live in a society where people strive to get into universities by any means. This raises a
question about the purpose of universities. Some people believe that universities should
provide graduates with the skills needed in the workforce. On the other hand, some think
that the main function of a university is to provide knowledge for its own sake. I agree with
the former viewpoint.

First and foremost, the primary aim of attending a university is to secure a job. Therefore,
universities should primarily focus on providing students with the essential skills required to
acquire their dream job. To increase their chances of getting hired, graduates need to
possess the necessary skill set that matches the job requirements, especially when
competing with experienced and overqualified candidates. Furthermore, the growing
demand for a skilled workforce necessitates that graduates receive training in their future
vocation.

Knowledge without practical application is a waste of time and resources. A student who
graduates without practical skills is like an unsharpened axe. Moreover, modern universities
require students to study for three to four years to acquire a degree. After graduation,
students often face financial pressures and are ill-equipped to enter the job market. I
strongly believe that universities should cater to the job-specific skill acquisition needs of
graduates to enhance their confidence. Additionally, universities should provide training to
help youths hone their skills and maximize their potential to achieve their career goals.

In conclusion, universities should prioritize providing graduates with the skills required in
the workforce. By doing so, universities can play a crucial role in shaping the careers of their
graduates and preparing them for the challenges of the modern job market.

Writing Task 1 (150 words)

Sir,

I have recently attended the walk-in interview at your school for the position of the high
school English teacher. The interview panel informed me that I will be intimated via phone
regarding further procedures. It has been two days since the interview and unfortunately, I
have not received any calls or mails.

My interview went very smoothly and I hope that I was able to impress you with my
performance at the time of the interview. Subsequently, I have put some of the interview
calls and job offers on hold in anticipation of receiving a favorable reply from your side. One
of the interviewers in your panel even asked me about the duration of time required for me
to resign from the current post. I have come to know that this vacancy is a maternity cover
and therefore it would be filled immediately. If that is the case, I would have to notify my
current employer as soon as possible.

I would like to know about the status of the selection procedure to plan the next steps.
Please provide me with the feedback of the interview to clear any confusion. I am looking
forward to hear from you soon.

Writing Task 2 (250 words)

Public health and the ways to improve it are a major concern of the governments today.
Some people think that the best way to improve public health is to increase funding for
hospitals and medical research. Others believe that the best way is to focus on prevention
and encourage people to adopt healthy lifestyles.

Allocating special budget for public health should be the promise of all governments. Due to
the increase in pandemics and lifestyle diseases, governments should set aside a significant
chunk of the budget for new researches and to build new hospitals. For example, cancer is a
disease that millions of people succumb to every year, therefore a research on that line
could in turn benefit people to have a better life. Moreover, improving the infrastructure of
the existing hospitals, developing newer machineries and conducting researches would
ultimately result in better health care.

On the other hand, the timely intervention and prevention of diseases can cut costs
effectively. We know the old adage “prevention is better than cure” which explains this
concept. Governments can increase awareness among people regarding adopting a healthy
life style and habits for better health. This can be done by devising best practices that
everyone should adhere to. In addition to that, Governments can conduct massive public
initiatives such as anti-smoking campaigns, dry day etc. to spread awareness.

In my opinion, both of these methods are equally important. Public aids to build new
hospitals and researches for better health care are the need of the hour. Along with that,
each person should be conscious of the role they have to play for healthier lives. This can be
achieved only If they are aware of how to take care of their health in advance. So, a
judicious mixture of both these views would be paramount in improving the health care
system of every country.

Corrected Version:

Public health is a major concern for governments worldwide. While some people believe
that increasing funding for hospitals and medical research is the best way to improve
public health, others argue that prevention and encouraging healthy lifestyles are more
effective. In my opinion, both approaches are crucial, and a balanced approach is
necessary.

On the one hand, investing in hospitals and medical research can lead to significant
improvements in public health. For instance, research on diseases such as cancer can lead
to the development of new treatments and improved healthcare outcomes. Moreover,
upgrading hospital infrastructure and equipment can enhance the quality of care provided
to patients.

On the other hand, prevention and promoting healthy lifestyles are equally important.
Governments can play a crucial role in raising awareness about the importance of healthy
habits, such as regular exercise, balanced diets, and avoiding smoking. Public initiatives,
such as anti-smoking campaigns and health education programs, can also be effective in
promoting healthy behaviors.

In conclusion, improving public health requires a multi-faceted approach. While investing

to pay a visit to my town.

There are a lot of places to visit in Mavelikara, including Sreekrishna swamy temple,
Mavelikkara Palace and the serene backwaters.It would be a loss if you return without
seeing these spots. First and foremost, you must take a ride along the backwaters which
would offer you scenic beauty of lush green landscapes and village life. The backwaters are
also home to a wide variety of wild life such as birds, fish and aquatic species. Moreover,
you could taste the local cuisine and experience the warm hospitality of the villagers.

In addition to this, another must visit place is the Sreekrishna Swamy temple that is known
for its architectural splendor. Along with this, please do visit the Mavelikara palace to
immerse in the reign of old kings and queens.

Task 2:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write a letter to the manager of a local shopping mall expressing your opinion on the
following topic:
"Some people believe that shopping malls should be open seven days a week, while others
argue that they should be closed on Sundays to allow people to rest and spend time with
their families."

Sir,

Some people believe that shopping malls should be open seven days a week, while others
argue that they should be closed on Sundays to allow people to rest and spend time with
their families. I support the former view but agree with the certain aspects of the latter.

In my opinion, shopping malls open on all days would be convenient to the public to shop
without worrying about the days of the week. Moreover, it would boost economic growth
and increase economic activity.in addition to this, it would help the people whose off days
of the week vary from the other regular professions. On the one hand, Open shopping malls
throughout the week will be a comfort for people who perceive shopping as a stress buster.
So, shopping malls should be open seven days a week to bring people together and to
increase positive interaction among people. Along with this, people can plan their outing to
a favourite shopping mall to ogle at the goods and roam around the grand architecture
without spending a pretty penny. Therefore, it would hugely help those teens and youths to
hang out on their holidays without the need to go to an expensive hotel or park.

On the other hand, if shopping malls are closed down for a day, it would help those tired
moms and hardworking dads to relax. Not only that, most of the time, shopping is a hole in
the pocket of the middle-class people. Because the hard-earned money is all spent on each
shopping adventure. A day off from shopping means a lot of money saved. If there is no
option to spend on shopping, people would happily spend their holiday by having a good
time with their families.

Though there are two different aspect to the opinion, personal discretion is needed in
deciding to go to shop. Shopping addiction has become a major problem faced by the
current generation and at the same time social anxiety is also prevalent.
