    Here,in introduction you have used ‘a park has altered”…can we use “a park has been altered”

      Hi Kevin. It’s a very good question. Sometimes places are deliberately altered by people e.g. The paths have been widened to make them more accessible to wheelchairs.. But sometimes places just ‘evolve’ naturally over time. Yes, this park was altered by someone but because we assume it was a gradual process we can say ‘The park has altered’ in the same way you can say ‘The town has changed over the last decade’. Certain individual aspects of the town/park have ‘been changed’ e.g. shops have been pulled down, more houses have been built but you would say OVERALL the town/park has changed. I hope that helps and thank you for your comment. Best wishes, Fiona.

    Here,in introduction you have used “a park”. Can we use “the park” because examiner knows about which park we are writing?

      Hi Kevin, yes you can but in the first sentence you are introducing the park as a ‘first mention’ (it is one of many parks) so I would choose ‘a’.

      Hi Muhammad and thanks for your question. Grammar is a formula and you just have to learn how it works. Learning the tense system is probably a good start – Past, Present and Future. The easies way is to get a good grammar book with lots of practice.
      I have a list of good books here https://ieltsetc.com/ielts-test-information-faqs/.
      Hope that helps, All the best, Fiona
