Low-cost Air Low-cost air companies create opportunities for people to travel across the borders of countries.Although we need to reduce unnecessary travels, I would still argue that the services provide by low-cost air are beneficial to the public. By taking cheap flights people may go to different countries for tourism, and enrich their experiences of varieties of cultures, thereby expanding their outlooks.Some people are possible to visit some countries to seek a better employment, and earn a higher income.Business owners can probably discovery potential business opportunities to earn more profits by exporting or importing products between different regions.But if price of air tickets rises a lot they will probably lose those opportunities. Meanwhile, some people hold the idea that raising airfaces can reduce the environmental impact which was brought by this industry.A higher price can discourage people to go for travel by air.If the frequency of flights decreases, then the greenhouse gas emissions by air will be reduced accordingly.Other problems associated with air industry, such as noise pollution and environmental destruction by building airport and related facilities, will be mitigated as well. I do not think it is necessary to increase the ticket price, because people ought to have chances to go to other places for tourism and recreation. may people, especially the workers who live in mega cities, are likely live under a huge pressure and always be busy on many kinds of affairs.If they can easily get a cheap flight, they may go farther for taking holidays.For examples, tourists from China can visit some tropical countries to taste local foods, but not spend their holidays on home. In conclusion, my view is that it is not reasonable to restrict low-cost air, because cheap flights bring significant values to people, even though air companies can reduce their environmental impact by technology innovation.

just several sentences, 20160429 The main reason for unemployment in rural areas are lack of infrastructure construction and government investment, which can be solved partially by the rural-to-urban shift. High-rise buildings are sometimes recognized as a city’s eyesores. Although the arts do not belong to core subject areas, they play important roles in the curriculum, for these subjects add spice to life. Building apartment blocks helps solve overcrowding in cities because these buildings can maximize their utilizations in terms of lands and spaces.

A letter(2) For the speaking section, I admit I have made some low level mistakes during the testing, such as I didn’t pronounce ‘subordinate’ fluently, and I wrongly said ‘household wife’ which should be actually ‘housewife’, in the part two I intended to say ‘my wife say apology to me’, while I didn’t control the time well so I believe I might not fully answered all the questions. Due to lack of IELTS experience I didn’t have such kind of awareness. One more bad thing is that I said ‘yes’ when the woman assessor confirmed with me ‘it is you apologized to your wife, right?’ Honestly speaking, I was not suited to the style of the woman assessor, because she interrupted me frequently, which I suppose an interference to me during whole of the test. But I know this is mostly to my personal ability, just want to try to explain something here for asking your understanding. For the listening part, I understand all the questions are objective but it’s a pity that in several places I caught the ideas correctly while wrote a wrong words due to missing capital letter, and using singular instead of plural. Thanks for my excellent technical background, since year 2006 I have been fortunately employed by Nokia, a telecommunication industry giant in the world. I worked at R&D department, and it requires me using spoken English and writing English every day for communicating with other colleagues across the rest of the world. By those facts I would say I have gained relative excellent English skills. And as I share in the third paragraph that taking another exam is extremely inconvenient for me, so I request to remark my writing, speaking and listening section. Any help from you would be truly appreciated. Thank for your efforts in advance. Best regards

A letter(1) Dear Sir or Madam, My name is ××× (Candidate No.: ×××). I took part in the IELTS test (General Training) on 19th Mar, 2016 for the purpose of migrating to New Zealand. Bearing the puzzlement of the result, I wish to reassess my test score on writing, speaking and listening. It requires band 6.5 to submit a migration request to New Zealand immigration bureau. The scores I got this time are reading (7.5), writing (6), listen (5) and speaking (6), so final score is 6. Which surprise me most is the writing section, which I think I have also done a good job and would be a higher score. Frankly speaking, if I would be rated with 6.5 for writing section then I will obtain a desirable score. Although this was the first time I participated IELTS test, I have prepared it for six months. Actually I spent 4 hours a day to practice all 4 sections. I’m full-time employed and I need to take care of a 2 years old daughter with my wife together. To me it is really a challenge to ensure learning activities, after fulfill the work assignments, household chores and interaction with my baby. In the past days, for writing section every day I at least practiced one essay that relevant to task 1 or task 2. Particularly, I was greatly benefited from many native-English speakers who are active on some language learning website, such as lang-8.com and italki.com. They gave me numerous guidance on essay structures and grammars. I would believe that I have improved a lot. However, I still got 6 in the writing part and this really made me puzzled and frustrated. One thing I also want to explain is that I might wrote a wrong word ‘stuff’, which should be actually ‘staff’ in the writing task one, I believe it was caused by a time pressure. I can’t forgive myself for this, just asking for your understanding here. -to be continue
