Dear Mayur,
I hope you are in good health and relaxing after the first-term examinations. I’m sure you must have done well as this is a crucial year for all of us. My exams have just ended too, and I am looking forward to some well-needed rest.
I am writing this letter so that we all get to unwind during the festival of Diwali, especially since we would all have to gear up for our Board exams after that. Hence, you are warmly invited to celebrate Diwali with my family on Sunday, 22nd October.
The Laxmi poojan will be followed by a special lunch along with Diwali goodies such as Mathri, Kaju Katli, and your favourite Gujia. Post-lunch, we have organised a fun programme and an antakshari competition, with the elders of the family teaming up against the younger members.
Prasad, Nandini, Anita and Shreya too would be joining us along with their respective families.
Please do come along with your family. I’m eagerly awaiting your arrival.
Yours lovingly,
Shreyas

Read the following letter carefully, discuss with your partner and answer the questions
Sir,
I request you to publish the following letter in your daily to address an important issue which needs immediate redressal.
During week ends motorcyclists are seen racing on the East Coast Road and the Old Mahabalipuram road of Chennai. The amateur racers are risking their own lives and of the public as well. They are fearless and irresponsible, not knowing the price of human lives. Risking others and their lives for their pleasure is highly condemnable.
Even school students indulge in such activities and cause fatal accidents. The racers have started occupying the lanes and streets of busy localities. As such, the violation of traffic rules often results in loss of young lives. Such reckless riders who violate traffic rules should be punished severely.
As a responsible citizen of the society, I request the authorities concerned to take appropriate measures to put an end to this menace.
Yours truly,
Srivatsav
