15, S. N. Road,
Mani Nagar,
Mumbai - 442101

14th February 2019

Dear Moon,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter to tell you that I am amazed at your beauty and I love the way your light eliminates the darkness at night. You bring joy to the world by shining brightly. When I was a child, I would spend hours looking at you. It was such a pleasure to see you make everything glow with your light. Your comforting presence urges me to compose poems and songs about how you bring light to a dark world.

My second reason for writing this letter is that I want a little help from you. My dad, like the other villagers, goes to the city to work. He comes home late and the road that he takes is dark and dangerous. It is full of snakes and scorpions. If only I could light up the whole route, he wouldn’t take so long to come back home and I would get to hear stories and fairy tales from him. If you could just lend me one or two baskets of moonlight, I will sow its seeds all along the path to light it up. Please, do help me. I just need a basketful of it.

I am awaiting your reply. I hope you won’t disappear again without giving me some of your light.

Yours sincerely,
Aarohi Daate

those given. Underline your choice. Sometimes more than one alternative is suitable.

Dear Mohan
It was lovely to get your letter and to hear the good news that you are going trekking with your friends. You (ought to/ would/ should) have a break after your exams! You ask me what you (can/ should. will) take. Well, you (might/ can't/ mustn't) fit everything in a backpack so you must be selective. You (will/ can/ must) take at least one sweater because it (ought to/ should/ can) get very cold in the mountains. You (needn't/ could/ should) pack a gas stove
because there (could/ may/ will) be plenty of firewood from dead trees.
I'm sure you will have a wonderful time but I (may/ would/ should) give you a word of warning. Don't get stuck in the Lak:i Pass at night. Once you're there you (won't be able to/ can't be able to/ not to able to) get down and it's very dangerous at night. By the way, you (should/ should have to/ should have) told me earlier that you were going and I (should have/ would have/ will have) given you my walking boots!
Anyway, look after yourself and enjoy your holiday.

With love
Daddy
