Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
Your city is facing a problem of irregular supply of gas.The Gas company is planning to lay a new direct pipeline but through the forest area. The forest department has sent out an opinion survey to see what residents would like to have new pipeline.
Forest department Survey :
Option A: Destruction of nature: New pipeline will destroy trees and environment.
Option B: Regular gas supply: Gas is essential for survival.
To whom it may concern, I am responding to your survey question regarding the resolution of the issue regarding irregular gas supply. In my opinion, Option A is the optimal choice of the two presented. The forest area is an essential part of the city as it provides fresh air and improves the city's air quality index. Currently, the city is on the top list for the air quality index, and the forest area plays a vital role in the same. I firmly believe that the destruction of the trees will hamper the air quality and the health of the citizens. Moreover, the forest area is adorned with various wild animals, and it is ethically wrong to destroy their home. I strongly oppose the idea to ruin the forest area for the regular gas supply. However, I understand the requirement and the importance of the gas supply, which is currently hampered and affecting the citizens. Still, the proposed solution needs to be reconsidered due to the harmful consequences to the environment and wildlife. Therefore, Option B is the least desirable choice given. In conclusion, I have chosen Option A as the target of the gas supply problem. I am of the view that this alternative will cause less amount of harm to the citizens. Regards, Thomas
