Describe a change that benefitted your neighborhood.: IELTS Speaking Cue Card

Yeah, I am here to talk about the change that benefited our neighborhood. So the change was that a park was constructed in our neighborhood right besides our society. So this park helped the people to do some outdoor activities like cycling, jogging and doing yoga. This was majorly done as a common consensus by the society of the people like option was given to the society of the people whether they wanted a parking area, a park or a dedicated bus stop for the society. So the people of the society voted for the park in order to have an open green space for their outdoor activity. Further, this project was implemented by the local governing council of the city and the funding was done 50-50 by public and 50% by the government or by the local government. The implementation took place phase wise, first the park was developed, the lawn, the sitting area and later on in the phase 2, a cycling track and a sit out area to do yoga was made. Further, there are possibilities of expansion to make a cafe in the park.

A change which has helped my neighborhood drastically is the change in the governance and as the MLA of my native town has changed in the last year and the present MLA of my hometown is JP Nadda who is the MLA and he was elected last year when the elections were held in Haryana so he is from the BJP party and he is one of the richest men in our area and he is also very famous for his works in the for his work in the past and for his different kind of social work and and helping poor he had done different kind of work so the after being elected as the MLA he has done different kind of things like cleaning and assembling the lights on street lights and making new roads which has helped my neighborhood a lot as it had also help us to improve the transportation as he helped to improve the road system so our new MLA has helped us in a very different way and let me give you an example when my brother came from Australia he told me that your town is looking new your town is looking different as compared to when he came in the last when he came back five years ago and he also asked me the reason for that then I told him that we have elected our new MLA and he is he has helped us in developing

When I was 15 back then, my area was very congested and the drainage system was very poor. Due to which, when there was a heavy rainfall, a flood was there in my locality. We all suffered a lot due to the flood. Many expensive things got ruined, many stuff got missing, went off by the flood. It was a very terrifying moment for all the people living in that locality. Therefore, after a few months of that flood, the government took a step to implement a good drainage system in our locality. Therefore, after which, now we have a very good system of rainwater, how we can, you know, channelize it into a other way so that it won't restrict any drains or anything. Therefore, yes, this is how the change was made. And also, implementation of various green plants was enhanced because of the more and more population. Now more and more green plants and parks are being made so that our air can release more oxygen rather than the carbon dioxide and fuel us with good energy because greenery brings positivity and eliminates negativity from the environment. And yes, it helped us to make our city, our area more beautiful, more survival.

A change that benefited my neighborhood is construction of a park. It is mainly to develop the neighborhood and the ambience of the apartment. Colony Association had their meeting last week and discussed about the various constructions we can do for our neighborhood and decided to vote on it. 70% of people chose park. I personally love this change because of the following reasons. Firstly, after the construction this is well maintained, very clean and the nature, atmosphere is really good. To add on, I really enjoy this park for a jog or a walk or even to listen a music. On one hand, this is really beneficial for children to play around. On the other hand, for the elderly, this is also like a refreshment. For example, sitting all day in the apartment feeling suffocated or stuck, for them evenings they used to come to the park, sit there, enjoy, try to speak with someone so that their mind relaxation will be really good. And it also helps for us to next day to focus on our work. To sum up, I really love this construction rather any other construction in my neighborhood. It be swimming pool or shuttle coach or any other things. I particularly and personally love this construction and it changed entire neighborhood in a positive note.

A few years back, my entire neighborhood faced a problem regarding the roads. The local roads were not at all good conditions. There were incidents of several minor accidents due to pitholes, which were driving people crazy because, especially in the rainy season, the roads were not properly visible because of puddles made up by rainwater, and also not only vehicles, but people passing by the road would misstep and fall into pitholes, which was really bad to see. We tried a lot to communicate these problems to our local area authority, but it didn't work out. So one day, we had a call with a media reporter. That media reporter from Tal Tak News Channel listened to us and understood our problem and helped us out to go on the television through their channel, which drew the attention of a few politicians, and they helped us to solve the problem.

Okay, so a change that improved my neighborhood. I think the recent change that I can think of right now is the improved parking space that was allocated in the recent years. So after COVID, we saw a lot of rise in the car owners, a lot of people bought four wheels for themselves. And due to that, the issue of parking arose. However, recently, a multi level parking space was developed for everyone to be able to park their cars safely. Due to the rise in the number of cars, we also saw a rise in the number of theft in my area. So that parking also helped in improving safety and security around that. On top of that, a lot of people from different blocks around the area, where they did not have enough parking space from themselves would come to my block and then they would park their cars there and would vanish for days. That created congestion in my area and people were facing issues overall. There was no space to take out their own cars whenever they would want to. And it would result in a lot of inconvenience for them. So with the multi level parking, a different space was allocated for each block and people from each block were given space to park their cars in that particular area only. That way, it helped in reducing the traffic around the block as well as it helped in making sure that everyone gets a space for themselves and nobody was hoarding another person's space. It really helped in making the whole thing very convenient and it was
