I expect to read about human trafficking and a person who wants to stop slavery.
1 William Wilberforce, campaign, end slavery, lasted, long time

Key words: a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Tracey, moved, new flat, city centre, your home, your neighbourhood, why, big city, small village, write, letter, answer 3 questions, 100-120 words, remember rules
I will write in informal style because it is a letter to a friend.
I must include answers to the three questions.
b)
Dear Tracey,
Thanks for your letter. I’m really pleased to hear that you like your new flat.
My home is in the suburbs. It’s not big, but we do have a garden where our dog can run around. I’m lucky because I have my own bedroom and I don’t have to share with my sister who can be really noisy. I really like my neighbourhood. It’s fairly quiet, but it’s got lots of parks and a fantastic sports centre so there’s always lots to do. I enjoy living in the big city because of all the amenities. If I lived in a small village, I think I’d get bored.
That’s all for now. Write back soon.
Love,
Amy

Student: Hi, I’m Pavel. I’m studying English here for three months and I’d like to rent a room while I’m here.
Examiner: Hi, Pavel. We have a very nice room at the back with a view of the park.
Student:That sounds great. I like to go running in the morning. What’s this neighbourhood like?
Examiner: It’s very quiet. There are no busy roads nearby and most of the residents are students or families.
Student: Is it near to amenities? I’d like something to do in the evenings.
Examiner: Well, there’s a leisure centre, a library, a cinema and a few restaurants. If that’s not enough for you, the bus stop is really convenient for getting into the city centre.
Student: Can I see the room?
Examiner: Of course. Here it is. What do you think?
Student: It’s nice. There’s a lot of light from the window and I like the desk in the corner. That’ll be great for working on. How much is the rent?

Key words: motorbikes, essay, your views, advantages, disadvantages, get around a city, 120-180 words
I have to write a for-and-against essay which is written in formal style.
Para 1: present the topic without my opinion
Para 2: advantages
Para 3: disadvantages
Para 4: summary of topic with my opinion
For-and-against essays can be made more interesting by addressing the reader directly, including a quotation or a rhetorical question.
b)
pros with justifications/examples:
1 motorbikes are fast/a traffic jam can delay cars for hours, but a motorbike can get through in no time at all
2 motorbikes are easy to park/three motorbikes can park in the same space as one car
cons with justifications/examples:
1 motorbikes are no good for families/they can only carry one or two people
2 motorbikes are dangerous/more people are seriously injured in motorbike accidents than are injured in car crashes
c)
Most of us have sat in a traffic jam and stared out the window at a motorbike weaving its way through only to vanish before you had moved a single metre. It may look like the better option, but there are both advantages and disadvantages to using a motorbike.
There are many good reasons for using motorbikes in the busy city. Firstly, they are fast. They can go through traffic jams much easier than a car. Secondly, they are easy to park because they are smaller than cars and take up less room.
However, there are disadvantages to motorbikes. To begin with, motorbikes are not very useful for families as they can only carry one or two people. Moreover, motorbikes are dangerous. More people are seriously injured in motorbike accidents than are seriously injured in car crashes.
All in all, there are both pros and cons to using a motorbike in the city. In my opinion, they are far too dangerous and I’d prefer the safety and warmth of a car to a risky ride on a motorbike any day.
