It Takes a Dream to Create a Village
The summer of 2012, the year of the London Olympics introduced the new Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome and
BMX Circuit but beyond this there was a whole new astonishing
development in London’s prime location, this was called the Athletes village. Many
of you would have already been aware of this site but how many of you actually
what happened to this post the Olympic Games?
Stratford’s neglected, contaminated, derelict brown
field site was transformed into exemplary living accommodation for up to 17000 competitors
during the e the village at the same high standard of living as the sports
competitors. For this reason there is being a conversion of the Olympic village
to a new residential district called the East Village.
East Village's legacy
will endure for decades, if not longer, through provision of approximately 3000
new homes and regeneration of an abandoned corner of East London. Not only accommodating many thousands of residents, it will also promote
the vicinity and improve the appearance of Stratford City with its remarkable infrastructure. Courtyards and lakes are being incorporated in East Village to enable
families to enjoy the scenery and have amazing outings with their children in this new, refreshing, picturesque environment.
Towering flats and spacious
balconies give residents a breath taking view of London’s finest sceneries at
night of famous landmarks including Big Ben( only 6 miles away) and London Eye.
This gives residents a real experience of London life which they are bound to
love. This is on top of easy access to travel with a newly built international
station and Westfield shopping Centre which is on the perimeter of the village.
What is there not to love?
Being a resident in East
London myself, never would I have imagined in my wildest dreams that such a conspicuous
district would have been constructed in my area. It is completely mind-blowing,
the amount of work that has been put into this project of East Village with at
its peak 6000 workers walking into the village per day to make this work and
the level of performance is outstanding. This project employed around 40000
workers and at a time of crisis in the economy. There is no evidence for me to
say this was a waste of money and I am immensely proud to say I live in an area
with such a huge attraction to the public’s eye.
Brownfield marshland to
Olympic accommodation to residential living… now that is what you call a real
sustainable development!

Thanks H.D. This is an interesting and passionate piece of writing, which is well-structured and clearly presented. You have written in an appropriately formal and informative style, and have made very good use of facts to support your views.
ReplyDeleteTo improve the quality of your writing, make sure that you are using a variety of sentence structures. For example, in your third paragraph, all of your sentences begin with ‘The’. Please rewrite the paragraph so that at least two sentences start with a different word.
Thank you, I have made some adjustments to my third paragraph to try and make it sound less repetitive and as for sentence structure I have tried to expand some sentences to make it sound more descriptive.
ReplyDeleteThanks H.D. That is a big improvement. Remember to bear this in mind on your next piece of writing.
