Dear Anu
I am glad to know that Mohan uncle met you recently in your boarding school hostel. He has phoned Papa to tell him that you have lost weight and you look weak. It is good that you are an exceptionally brilliant student. But at the same time you should take care of your health also. To have a sound mind, a sound body is equally essential.

So take healthy and rich diet. Get up early in the morning. Go for a long walk. You should also start playing some game. Team spirit, discipline and physical fitness are the key to success in life.

I hope next time when you come home, you look healthier, fit and fine.

With lots of love and affection,
Yours affectionately

Kindly look into this matter personally, as it is causing me considerable concern.

The SHO
Friends Colony Police Station Meerut
Sub: Rising rate of lawlessness in the colony 
Sir,
Permit me to bring to your attention that our colony is quickly becoming a den of anti-social elements. Incidents of theft and chain snatching have become alarmingly common in our locality. Young boys, along with drug addicts and drunkards from the nearby area, gather here after consuming alcohol. Consequently, girls and women feel extremely insecure on the roads. 
Despite our repeated complaints, no effective action has been taken so far to apprehend the troublemakers. Therefore, I request, on behalf of the residents of the colony, that you take immediate action to provide us with relief and a sense of security. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Yours faithfully
Nupur.

The Chief Engineer Bihar State Electricity Board Patna
Sub: Complain about the frequent break down of electricity.
Sir,
I would like to draw your attention to the intermittent failures of electricity supply in Patliputra Colony, which is a well-established area of Patna. The frequent electric breakdowns disrupt the daily activities of the residents. It becomes particularly challenging for us, the students, to prepare for our examinations. Therefore, I kindly request you, on behalf of the students in our colony, to address this issue at your earliest convenience. Please direct your staff to resolve this problem promptly. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully

C. Letters to the Editor

Q.1. A hobby is a leisure time activity for pleasure. Do you think it should be made part of school curriculum? Express your considered opinion in a letter to the editor of a national daily.

The Editor
The Hindustan Times
Ghaziabad
Feb, 10, 20xx
Sub. : Hobby as a part of education.
Dear Sir,
A hobby is distinctly different from an occupation, as it is pursued not for profit but for pleasure. It often reveals one's hidden talents. Hobbies can vary widely among individuals, with common examples including gardening, photography, and stamp collecting. 
In my opinion, every student should be encouraged to explore at least one hobby, which could also include reading and writing. Engaging in activities of their choice can bring joy and a sense of recognition to young people. However, making hobbies a compulsory subject is neither practical nor beneficial for students, who are already overloaded with academic responsibilities. Activities such as singing, painting, and acting should remain optional rather than becoming essential components of school life. 
Yours truly

Q.2. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper about the worsening law and order situation in your town.

The Editor
The Times of India (Gurgaon Edition)
New Delhi January 10, 20xx
Sub. : Rising crime rate in Gurgaon 
Dear Sir,
Gurgaon is a rapidly expanding town in the National Capital Region. It boasts numerous hotels, malls, and high-rise buildings. The countless multinational offices here employ thousands of workers, resulting in a significant increase in the population, which includes many migrants from various areas. 
As these migrants aspire to build a better life, they often encounter challenges in securing adequate employment. This struggle can lead to an increase in crime as individuals seek alternative means to support themselves. The recent worsening law and order situation in our town is a pressing concern. 
Incidents of theft, robbery, and other violent crimes have escalated, creating an atmosphere of fear among residents. It is imperative that local authorities take immediate action to address these issues and ensure the safety of all citizens. Thank you for considering this serious matter. 
Yours truly

Q.3. Senior citizens constitute a big chunk of our population. They are our guides, guardians and mentors. But are we doing something to keep thorn well-fed and secure? Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper expressing how you feel about the security of Senior citizens.

The Editor
Indian Express New Delhi
Sub. : Security of Senior Citizens 
Dear Sir,
Persons above the age of 65 are considered senior citizens. Our grandparents fall into this category. They are often aged and physically too weak to defend themselves. In metro cities, many such couples live alone in flats, as their children are married and settled abroad. The aged couples often hire domestic help for various tasks. However, for several hours at noon and midnight, they are left alone in their homes, making them easy prey for robbers who may harm them and steal their belongings. Unfortunately, senior citizens receive little to no security from the police or their neighbours. Numerous cases of murders involving aged couples are reported in the newspapers. In the evening of their lives, even their sons leave them alone. Who, after all, will ensure their safety except for the state and the police? We all owe our lives and upbringing to our parents and grandparents. Is it not our moral duty to protect and provide security for them? Moreover, senior citizens must also be vigilant. 
They should refrain from engaging servants and maids without verifying their identities, including obtaining their addresses and photographs. 
Truly yours
An activtist.

Q.4. You are Shobhit, a resident of Preet Vihar, New Delhi. Write a letter to the Editor of a leading newspaper telling him about nuisance of loudspeakers in your area.

Preet Vihar,
New Delhi
12th May, 20xx
The Editor
The Times of India
New Delhi .
Sub: About nuisance of loudspeakers.
Sir,
Through your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the growing nuisance created by loudspeakers in our locality. People organise jagrans throughout the night, showing little regard for the needs of students, heart patients, and elderly residents. The high volume of loudspeakers disturbs them significantly. During weddings, the loud music is particularly irritating. Furthermore, even places of worship such as temples, gurudwaras, and mosques are no longer havens of peace, as prayers are now broadcasted over loudspeakers. This disruption affects the tranquillity of the surrounding areas. It is essential that these activities be regulated with strict rules. Such events can be conducted at a lower volume, and there should be a limitation on the time period during which loudspeakers are used. 
I hope you will highlight my concerns strongly. 
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
Shobit
