Question
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

While reading a magazine advertising home products, Sakshi Aggarwal came across an advertisement for a stain remover called Dr. Clean. She decided to buy the product but it caused more harm than good. Complete the letter of complaint she writes to the company using appropriate words.
Dear Sir
I wish____________ to your notice the ridiculous product you have recently launched. I saw a TV advertisement for Dr. Clean and its ability _______ '99 top stains'. I bought the product and _________the least, I regret the money I spent on it.
You claim that your Dr Clean stain removal keeps clothes in wearable condition for a long time and thus helps reduce clothing costs. However, let me tell you what happened when I tried _________a stain left by tea from my shirt. _________the stain remover on the stain does seem to make the stain
fainter temporarily. But here is the problem: a little after you have sprayed Dr. Clean on the fabric, the area around the stain seems to melt away. Soon, there is no stain. In fact, there is a hole where the stain was!
Surely this is NOT what you meant when you advertised The stain will no longer be visible to the naked eye?
