Cambridge IELTS 17 General Training Writing

Dear Vanessa,

I am very glad to write this letter for you. I recognised that you are looking for an advice about a new sport to learn. Well, I would suggest you a very popular sport in my town, which is basketball. All my friends are interested in this activity. Indeed, there is a great club around my house where they perfectly teach how to play this sport. You can register and start your sessions right away. You will be introduced to all the informations: rules, movements, tricks and so on. I am sure you will enjoy it and I believe that playing basketball would suit you well as you have the physical potential for it.

I personally am a huge fan of basketball, but I have not had the opportunity to learn it. So, I think I might join you to the club if you consider my advice to you. That would be a wonderful idea!

I hope my letter will satisfie your needs and I will be looking foreward to recieving your answer.

Take care,

You friend

Technology has found its way into every aspect of our lives, including the way we pay for things in shops. Following this trend, I believe we will not need to use cash in the future.

First of all, generations that have grown with technology, have become dependant on multiple devices to perform even the simplest tasks. Millennials and people from the ‘y’ generation can be seen holding their phones at all times, which makes it easier for them to process payments with something they already have on their hands.

Moreover, as fashion is also playing a very important role in our society, being able to process payments with an electronic device as a card, is not only saving us time in counting cash, but also space when it comes to carrying thing. As a plus, it gets rid of the jinggling sound of coins in our bags. This can be seen on a day to day basis when both, men and women, are getting ready to go out. Taking only their phone, a couple of cards and their keys.

However, for some people this might not be functional as it brings extra charges on our accounts for using eftpos machines.

To conclude, even though there are both advocates and detractors for giving up using cash, I believe that our obsession with technology is a slippery slope that will eventually end on us giving up cash.

The practice of training physically with personal fitness guides is getting increasingly common in some nations. Therefore playing sports or taking part in physical exercise courses are less preferred. From my perspective, this acts as a desirable development as it provides people with a multitude of benefits.

The growing need for personal trainers can be attributed to the following reasons. Firstly, due to the speedy pace of modern life, people are getting busier with their jobs as well as basic daily chores such as housework. As a result, taking part in a mutual exercise classes is quite impossible for busy people, as they can hardly flexify themselves with the schedules of other class members. Hiring a personal trainer seems to be the most appropriate resolution to the problem, since people will no longer depend on others’ timetable and they can do exercise with their trainers whenever they have free time. Secondly, joining a mutual class offers people few opportunities to have private conversations with the teachers. The reason is that there are often a large number of learners in a class and teachers can hardly answer all members' questions. Unlikewise, personal trainers are responsible for one student per class, which enables students to have more time to consult their teachers.

The increasing demand for personal trainer has made significant improvements to modern people's lives. It is a new and suitable way of managing time efficiently, especially for those who have a little fund of time.

In conclusion, I hold a strong belief that hiring personal fitness trainer, which is time-saving and of remarkable convenience, has made positive changes to the way people doing exercise.

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Gonzalo and as you already know I have booked in one of your part-time courses, Business Administration. I would like to know if there is a possibility to change my course.

I chose this program because I wanted to improve my knowledge on that specific area, as you know I have been working for 10 years to have my job. However, recently a great friend offered me a opportunity to work as a graphic designer in his own company. To be honest, I am about to make the biggest change in my career ever.

The main reason why I am getting in contact with you is because I need to change my program and find a new one in my new area. Is there any necessary arrangements for booking a different course? Should I pay an extra fee to be able to change? How exactly works to change to a different course? Those are my questions and I am need of some guidance.

Best regards!

The clothing and fashion market in one of the largest in options and price level. It is possible to find a wild range of stores and manufacturers across the cities and malls all around. However, what are the quality offered and what is the budget people are willing to spend on it? In which situation expensive tailored clothing are better than cheapen numerous clothes?

Some say that prioritising quality is always better, as well as having exclusivity. Needless to say that having a good wardrobe with high quality clothing is a dream for most women, since our attires are way more demanding than the simplicity of male style. In my opinion, is a wonderful feeling to purchase something of greater price as one can be sure about the durability and clear better appearance of the product.

The second option, having the capability of purchasing clothes in big quantities for a lower price, has its downsides. One of them is that quality is not the main concern, whenever in a popular store is possible to find objective peaces among the piles. Another point is durability, the bigger the role the less the products will last. Every laundry load is a struggle with pieces loosing color and fabric thickness. It is also valid to point out that they are made in large scale and it is not difficult to see random people wearing the same shirt. In the long term people will spend around the same amount of money replacing their low cost clothes, what refutates the positive side of spending less.

In conclusion, good quality clothing under higher price basis can be of advantage in many ways in comparison to more popular and less expensive products.

Since our job take the majority of our daytime (or nighttime, that's depend on the job) our colleagues are a important part of our social life. We see them everyday and we usually have to interact with them many times. Do those interactions have to stay strictly professionnal or is it better including them in our private life?

First, that's depend on everyone's personnality. Some people are good to keep distance during the working time's interaction, keep neutral conversations and separate clearly the private life and professionnal life. On a other side, some people can't control it and their personnality will push them to be friendly with people who they get along with or be distant to people with who they feel inconfortable.

In fact, it is important to feel good at work. A heavy atmosphere caused by tensions between coworkers could effect very badly out life even when we come back home.

Socialize with the work colleagues in the free time can be a good occasion to know people better, away from the working stress and pressure. We can discover another part of their personnality, hobbies, or personnal problems and then we can be more able to understand them during hard time at work.

Of course sometime in an other hand some matters can appear when the line between private and professionnal life start to be fuzzy. For example, when two coworkers become a couple and continue to work together or when a friendship between two coworkers can be gossips' start point.

But since we are all humans with our own sensitive points, it is important to be to keep a good atmosphere at work by speaking out all the problems to release all the tensions. Communication is the key but also sharing a good time with coworkers away from work can be a nice way to understand more each other.
