1. Your younger brother who is staying in a hostel has failed in the Terminal examination and has become nervous. He
is thinking to give up studies. Write a letter persuading him to continue the efforts and get success.
7G, Rainbow Colony,
M.G.Road,
Mahin (E),
Mumbai - 400 016.
24th February, 2010
Dear brother,
I hope this letter of mine finds you in the pink of health. But what is this I hear about you? Are you really seriously
planning to give up your studies, just because you failed in the terminal examination? It would then be a rash decision made without
any fore-thought and careful reflection. A solitary failure should not dishearten you. It is not the end of the world for you yet. You
must count your blessings. You are full of bouncing energy and very much in the prime of your youth. Should you decide to give up
your studies, you will be a big loser. You will be tagged as a school drop - out.
Worse still, without adequate formal education, you will not be able to forge ahead in life. The prospects for you
anywhere and everywhere are bound to be bleak. Dearest brother, there is no point in being unduly nervous and diffident. Keep on
working and brush up your weak subjects then you are likely to pass your next examination with flying colours.
And what is more, this achievement is not beyond you. Your are quick on the uptake, this should make your task
much easier and simpler. I would now in all seriousness urge you to have second thoughts on your rather rash decision to give up
studies.
Yours lovingly,
ABC

Dear Friend,
I received your letter long ago confirming your decision to spend this vacation with us. We were all eagerly waiting
to see you. However, the vacation is almost over and we know that there must have been a strong reason for cancelling the arrival.
Mother had special plans for us about spending holidays in Bangalore. Your busy life in Mumbai certainly needed a
little change and we had taken care of that in our plans which included an excursion to Krishnaraj sagar where the famous Brindavan
Garden is. As this is the fag end of vacation and yet there is no sign of your arrival we lost hopes. Your recent letter confirming your
ticket reservation makes us all the more anxious to know as to the reasons for your last minute cancellation. Our disappointment for
your not coming has turned into anxiousness and we are all worried about you.
Everyone is forwarding his/her reasons for your sudden dropping the plans to come to Bangalore and I tell you, more
we think of the reasons the more worried it makes us all. Therefore, please write to us about the emergency that caused your change in
the plans.
We shall be anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Yours lovingly

Mumbai : - 400 001.

Subject: Complain against the illegal parking of truck.
Respected sir,
I have been the resident of the above mentioned area for the last twenty years. The people here are all educated and
go out to work and children go to school. I would like to bring to your notice that the roads in this area are fully filled with illegal
parking of trucks, that it becomes very difficult to even walk specially during the rains. Not only this even the street lights are so poor,
that it becomes very difficult for people to walk or take out their vehicles during late in the evening.
One must be aware that how irresponsible is to park vehicles like trucks in the residential area. Hence I request you to
consider it and through your newspaper, I want to make one request to the concerned authority to consider this matter as important
park the trucks in some other non residential areas.
I shall be obliged if you publish my letter in your newspaper so that it catches the attention of the Councillor of our
ward and an urgent action is taken.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sania mirza,
It was great hearing from you after a long time. Your holiday in the cool hills of Shimla seems to be interesting and
full of fun, however the contents of your letter has disturbed me and set me thinking. As a long standing friend, I consider it my duty
to give you my views and persuade you to follow your ideals.
You have always been interested in joining the N.S.S. why should the curriculum deter you? There can be no field of
study without extra - curricular activities. These activities help to develop your personality they will enable you to grow into a fine
young accomplished man.
Besides just think of the useful work you will be involved in the N.S.S. You were the one who always wanted to do
something useful, in the service of others and this is the ideal chance. Sania, think about it, it is your career your are talking about.
Don‟t get put off with some extra - curricular activity, Be positive, Be brave and confidence will be yours.

We are totally five hundred families residing in our locality. We are facing a severe problem of growing instances of
power failure for the last three months in our locality.
In our locality there are many students who are preparing for their upcoming Board Exams as well as for other final

summer is extremely hot so the old people facing it very difficult to tackle the problem. The problems of current supply also lead to
some other illegal activities in our locality.
We have already given many complaints to our local authority. They are always giving us empty promises and doing
nothing. So kindly am requesting you to look into this matter personally. If you do the needful then I shall be very much thankful to
you.
