CELPIP 7-8 Response Dear Sir, I am writing this to inform you that my son Jason Singh studying 5th grade in your class experiencing listening difficulty in subjects. Actually couple of months ago he had some vision problem and had treatment for cure. I was in the impression that he got completely cured. But yesterday i noticed that he was struggling a little to read the news paper. Now i understand the reason for why Jason seems to be quite and shows uninterested in his studies. At the moment i realized this i wanted to inform you about this and discuss in person how to make Jason get better on his studies. I have some suggestions to get the situation better, I will take Jason back to eye clinic and consult with the doctor to cure his vision problem completely. Also it would be more helpful if you can make seat adjustment in you class for Jason to sit in the first row of the class. Also i would like to meet you in person to discuss about this. Please let me know your availability to for the same. Thanks. Regards, Hardeep

CELPIP 10-12 Response Dear Mr. Sinclair, I am writing to you to inform you of the difficulties my son has been having in school for several weeks. It appears that a boy in his class has been bullying him and I would like to propose a solution to try and prevent this behaviour in the future. I would like this problem resolved as soon as possible as my son is afraid of going to school. There are a couple of options I can suggest to try to stop the bullying. Firstly, I can get contact information of the parents of the bully and I can arrange a meeting with them and try to resolve any issues the children are having with each other. Secondly, you could intervene and talk to both children and try to find a solution to their problem. If you would like to meet me in person to discuss the problem and my suggested solutions I am available any time. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Nick Konstantopoulos

CELPIP 4-5 Response I choose option B: Family picnics should be allowed in the public parks. Based of my opinion the family parks is created for people to enjoy nature. If some family gatherings and made noisy as well as occupy a lot of park space. Actually everyone does if the family park itself have no rules or policies to be follow, and it will really happened most of the time. But however if the city manager make a policies and rules to be followed inside the family park, probably this kind of problem will not be happened again. Because that’s the only way how to educate some family having there picnics inside the family park. I did not choose A: Family picnics should not be allowed in the public parks. Because it sound’s selfishness to the family who want’s to have their picnics in the family parks. Based of my opinion in this option A: City manager will provide some resources like making rules inside the family parks so that if family know’s the rules, probably they should be aware and follow the rules in order for them to avoid complaint of some family having their picnics inside the family parks. Thank you.

CELPIP 7-8 Response Dear The City Manager, In my opinion, Family picnics should be allowed in the public parks because that is one of the ways that the parks should be used for by publics to enjoy their leisure as long as people respect each other with positive manners. First of all, the public parks are created for every one to use for many purposes such as enjoying the nature, walking dogs, picnics, and etc. Having family picnics are of course the option as I mentioned and should not be excluded from the purposes of using the parks. It will cause an unfairness to some people to enjoy the parks. Secondly, I respect the opposite opinions that family picnics could get noisy for other park users. However, It will become understandable for everyone as long as everyone keep positive manners to ensure not causing noise complaint from family picnics and respect each others way of enjoying the use of the parks. For those reasons above, Family picnics should be allowed in the public parks as long as people respect each others with positive manners while using the parks. Regards, Ikuo Oshira

CELPIP 10-12 Response Family picnics should most definitely be allowed in public parks. Children especially should be encouraged to spend as much time as possible outdoors exercising, playing and having fun. With childhood obesity on the rise globally, we should be doing as much as possible to ensure that our children grow up as fit and healthy as possible. The benefits are not just for the individual, but for the community as a whole. It has been proven that a simple 10 minute walk in the sun can cheer you up and get you you’ve Vitamin D for the day. How much better would you be after a family picnic in the park? If the city is concerned about the availability of vehicle parking in order to get the park then why can’t the visitors walk? The exercise will do them good. Public space is for everyone to enjoy and here in Canada especially, we are very fortunate to have lots of it. As long as people respect the environment and there are sufficient garbage and recycling bins provided then I cannot see why having picnics should be a problem.
