Book 16 General Writing Test 2

You have just read an article in a national newspaper which claims that town centres in your country all look very similar to each other. You don’t fully agree with this opinion.

Write a letter to the editor of the newspaper. In your letter:

• Say which points in the article you agree with
• Explain ways in which your town centre is different from most other town centres
• Offer to give a guided tour of your town to the writer of the article

Some people like to try new things, for example, places to visit and types of food. Other people prefer to keep doing things they are familiar with.

Discuss both these attitudes and give your own opinion.
