10th January, 2021

Dear Dad, I hope you are doing well. I know it has been a while since I last wrote to you. But I’ve been really busy with class and my practice sessions for the social and cultural gathering that is on the 10th of this month.

I know you must be thinking that I’ve never participated in such events before. I’ve finally realised that I am not going to get these days back, and therefore want to make the most of them. So, now that you know that I’m participating in this event, I would really love if you could make it here. This social and cultural gathering is a mega event at our school and the parents of almost all the kids will be there. There will be lots of activities and I promise you that you won’t get bored. There will be a skit, a fashion show, dance performances, a singing competition, and a light show as well. I’ve participated in the dance competition, the skit and the singing competition.

Dad, it would mean a lot to me if you could make it to the event. It will help boost my confidence to see you sitting in the crowd smiling at me. Please don’t forget that it’s on the 10th of this month. I look forward to seeing you there. Love you, dad! Take care.

Yours lovingly,

Jaynesh Jain

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
