You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport.
Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter * explain where you live * describe your problem * give reasons why you do not want this development.
You shoud write at least 150 wards.
you do NOT need to write your own address. Begin your letter as follows.
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing with regard to the articile in your newspaper dated 7 th September. My house is situated within 20 minutes walk of the airport. Please allow me to point out the problems which have caused serious damage on the residential area. I am fully sure that the problems must be aggravated if the plan is carried out to expand the airport and increase the number of flights.
First of all, the low-flying aeroplanes are utterly distractive. They make sure a big noise that I cannot concentrate on housework at all. What is worse, I am woken up by the late hour flights at midnight ;I was disgnosed as insomnia the other day. I shoud call this situation noise pollution.
Secondly, I am afraid that the expansion of the airport may reduce the plot of land for the playground which is under construction near the airport at the moment.
To sum up, I strongly disagree with the plan. I would appreciate if you could possibly write the article about the problems and disagreement as I said above.

above sample answer witten by a candidate who achieved a Band 7 score,Here is the examiner comment:
The response to the task is fluent,although there is room for expansion and clarification of some aspect of the task. The message is well-organised and can be followed throughout,with the writer making good use of 'signpost'words.There are same problems with word choice and with word formation(e,g,'big noise','distractive'),but the range of sentence structres is varied and well-controlled for accuracy.
