Subject: Pollution as a threat to the rivers of our nation


 

Sir/Madam

This is to draw your attention to the grave concern that the pollutants from different industries and sewage from our houses are posing a serious threat to the rivers of our nation. The water has become unsuitable for drinking purposes. The water is not even suitable for growing crops as it is filled with harmful chemicals which are not at all good for the crops. It is the need of the hour to strengthen the water quality management and construct additional sewage lines.

You are requested to please bring this issue into the limelight so that more people could be made aware of all this. Hope to receive a positive response from you.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

Karuna.

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
