Answer
Date : $3$ March 20xx
From : roshanlal@yahoo.com
To : sanitarydept@yahoo.com
Subject: Bad conditions of the locality
Dear Sir
I wish to invite your attention to the insanitary conditions of Lajpat Nagar. It is so bad that I fear the spread of several diseases.There are heaps of garbage. Drains are blocked. While passing through the streets, people can be seen putting their handkerchief on their noses.Mounds of rubbish emit foul smell. I am afraid that if nothing is done quickly, a disease might spread.I’ll request you to send your people to clean the colony and visit it regularly. Only this can check it from becoming a vast garbage field.
Yours sincerely

M/s Diamond Electronics
Via receipt no. $161$ dated January $3, 20xx$, we bought a colour $T.V.$ from your shop. In fact, it started troubling us from the day $1$. When we reported the matter, you sent a mechanic. He replaced a certain part of the $TV$ set and it started working. Some more trouble cropped up and each time you sent the mechanic who made some correction.However, we are now completely fed up with this set as it is not working again. We, therefore, request you to replace this set with a new one. This set, certainly, has some manufacturing defect which cannot be corrected. An early action will oblige us.
With thanks.
Yours faithfully

From : amit@$10$yahoo.com
Subject: The government hospitals
Dear Sir
Please permit me to bring to light the poor conditions of the government hospitals in Kolkata. Take the case of Lake city accident. Three people had been injured. I had to go there as I happened to know one of them. When the victims reached the hospital, no nurse or doctor could come to see them for about half an hour. They were admitted only after the doctor had seen them. Thankfully, the beds were also available at that time. But they were very dirty. This room had ten beds. Each of them was occupied by a patient and surrounded by at least six people more. Nobody was asking these well-wishers to leave the room. The doctor prescribed some medicines for my friend. I was told that the hospital didn’t have them. The behaviour of the nurses was also rude.I would request the government to appoint more doctors and create more space for the patients. The medicines should be available in the hospital. Above all, one officer must be deputed to stop the corrupt and careless practices.
Yours sincerely

Question 55 Marks
Write an e-mail to the editor of The Indian Express in about $100$ words on the issue of the indiscriminate cutting of trees.
Hints : Role of trees—life—beauty—shade—fire—prevent soil erosion—prevent landslide—timber—herbs and fruit
Answer
Date : $3$ March $20xx$
From : ajay@gmail.com
To : editorindianexpress@yahoo.com
Subject : Value of trees
Dear Sir
Trees and plants have a vital role in our lives. In truth, life is possible because the trees are there. They provide us with oxygen which is essential for our life. Besides, they also add to the scenic beauty. The green areas of the city are called its lungs. They control the atmospheric pollution.In summer, the trees give us comfortable shade. In winter, they supply us wood for fire which keeps us warm. During the rains, trees prevent soil erosion. The rain washes the fertilizing layer of the soil downhill. The roots of the trees bind the soil and landslides are prevented. The trees supply us timber which is essential for making houses and its furniture. Birds and even some animals get their food and shelter from the trees. The same trees provide human beings with fruits and herbs. So through your newspaper I ask the people and authorities to stop this indiscriminate cutting of the trees.
Yours sincerely

Question 65 Marks
Write an e-mail to your friend giving him some tips telling him how to fight global warming.

Answer

From : roshni@gmall.com
Subject : How to fight global warming
To : rishi@gmail.com
Dear Rishi
In your mail, I found you very anxious about the problem of global warming. I have some ideas about how to fight it.Global warming means the warming of the earth’s atmosphere. We must take steps to stop doing things which contribute to this warming. First, we must at once replace our electric bulbs with $CFL$ because the latter gives out lesser heat. We must use only energy efficient appliances like pressure cooker while cooking. We should use washing machine or dishwasher only when they can be used to their full capacity. We should plant as many trees as possible.The smoke from vehicles causes a lot of warming. Private vehicles should therefore be avoided. Public transport is the best way out.

Subject: Using internet
To : kishu23@yahoo.com
Dear Kishu
I have heard about your love for internet. I agree that it is a very important and useful source of increasing our knowledge. However, I am afraid. We, the students treat it mostly for fun and entertainment. Not only this, we use it for giving all information about ourselves. When we do so, we are inviting trouble. I would suggest you that it should be used very carefully.Make it a point never to use the internet without informing your parents about what you intend to do. Second, it is very likely that you develop some sort of intimacy with some people while talking to them on the internet. Do not accept their invitation to meet you face to face. Personal information like your password or your bank account number are not the things of public use. Never disclose them. With regards.
Yours sincerely
Shankar
