IELTS General Writing Task 1 Sample Band 8 (Helping the community)

Sample:

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter as a response to the post I have read in your newspaper about awarding an exceptional individual who has given a great deal of help and support to our community.

With this in mind, I believe I know a person who deserves to be recognized for her work. I am talking about none other than Ms. Natalia River, the Guidance Counselor of Brookside High School. As a Guidance Counselor to the youth in our community, I strongly think she has been doing her best to be the role model for not only the youngsters in our community but also the adults.

Recently, she has launched an outreach program for our out-of-school youth. This program aims for these individuals to learn a technical skill for free. One of the offered courses here is web designing. These students, after finishing the course, would be able to utilize this newly-learned skill to be able to apply to companies in need of this technical computer skill. She has encouraged IT students from nearby colleges, and IT professionals to teach the participants for free. She was even able to ask for the help and support of our local government to provide PCs for the students to use during the course. In other words, she was able to make the citizens and our local authorities work together for a common goal.

Finally, it is only proper for her to receive the "Game changer Award" as she is making a difference to the lives of the younger generation.

I hope you consider this suggestion.

In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades.
