Question 24 Marks
Write an Email to your younger brother asking him not to work very hard or tax himself too much.
Answer
From: punit26@yahoo.com

To: pankitindia@indiatimes.com

Subject: Avoid overworking

My dear Pankit.

I am in receipt of your school progress report. It tells about your brilliant performance in all school subjects but zero in physical exercise. It is a matter of great sadness.

Dear Pankit! You have been in the hospital for over a month. You are extremely frail and weak. You are still continuing medicine. You must observe precautions. It is said that prevention is better than cure,

You need not work so hard. You need not tax your feeble body so much as it will tell upon your health. Your fever can relapse. You can fall a prey to a serious illness. You should know that nothing is more important than this life. If one is hale and hearty, he will enjoy all the blessings of life. But if one is ill, all the charm of life ends automatically.

What is use of being industrious and hardworking at the cost of losing one's health? Keep yourself free from strain and tension. Do not exert too much. Improve your health. Build your stamina. Acquire more and more physical resistance. Take plenty of exercise. Eat nourishing food. Next time when we meet, I want to see you healthy and glowing.

Your loving brother,

Punit

Answer
From: madhuben_patel@2mail.com

To: complaint_amc@ymail.com

Subject: Complaint about insufficient road lights in Meghaninagar area

Sir.

For the last two months, a number of street-lights in area are either fused off or owing to some technical reason are not working. Soon after sunset, darkness wraps up the area. The lights on some poles that are working are too dim to bright up the area. Of now, three incidents of chain-snatching have been reported, and the residents of this area feel quite insecure during these hours. The incidents of eve-teasing are also increasing day by day; and it has become quite difficult to move out after sunset.

Under these circumstances, it is my sincere request on behalf of the residents of Meghaninagar area that you look into the matter and take as urgent actions as possible.

Regards,

Madhuben R. Patel

Question 74 Marks
Write an Email to the Editor of a daily complaining about the nuisance of stray cattle in your city.
Answer
To: editorabad@times.com
From: dhruvin.shah@gmail.com
Sub: Nuisance of stray cattle
Date: $2^{\text {nd}}$ September, 2018
Dear Sir,
It is with regret that I have to state that the Stray cattle menace has become uncontrollable in the city, the cattle owners allow their herds to stray on the roads in the monsoons. The cattle sit on the roads, soil the place and cause traffic Jams and accidents. This has been a regular feature for the past many years.
We have informed the local municipal ward officers regularly but they have not been successful in stopping this menace.
Sir, strict action is needed against the cattle owners who get away with small fines. Their cattle need to be confiscated if found loitering on the roads.
We hope you write a strong article with pictures so that the concerned authorities will take up the matter and ‘help the people lead a normal life.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Dhruvin Shah

Question 94 Marks
Write an Email: To the Principal of your school as a representative of the Student Council informing him about the lack of proper library facilities in your school.
Answer
To: principal@mountcarmeltsurat.com.
From: studentscouncil@mountcarmelsurat.com
Sub: Inadequate Library facilities
Date: $15^{\text {th}}$ July, 2018
Respected Madam,
On behalf of the Students Council of the school, I would like to bring to your notice that we experience an inadequacy in the library facilities. We have only one library period in the whole week, which is not sufficient for doing reference work. The library is also not kept open after school hours.
The number of books on subjects like Computers, Physics and History are very less. Also some of the books are in an absolute dilapidated condition and many students do not return books as no strict action is taken. We suggest that the school authorities should contact the ex- students of the school for donation and books for the library so that the future students may benefit.
We request you to modernize the library and help us get a good collection of books because we have realized that we need a good exposure to all types of writing. Reading helps us to have a good understanding of our subjects.
I look forward to your positive response.
Thanking you and please oblige.
Yours obediently,
Sapna Chaudhary
Students Council Representative

Question 104 Marks
Write an Email to the Municipal Commissioner complaining about the nuisance of hawkers selling harmful foodstuffs near your school.
Answer
To: Mc@vadodaracity.gov.in.
From: shrik.doshi@gmail.com
Sub: Nuisance of hawkers selling harmful foodstuff at school gate
Date: $28^{\text {th}}$ August, 2018
Dear Sir,
I am a student of 11th standard of ABC School and would hike to bring to your kind notice that many hawkers sell various kinds of eatables outside our school. Their food items are displayed in the open, attracting a lot of dust and flies.
They also use a lot of adulterated oil and other harmful Ingredients. Many children have fallen sick with stomach disorders and vomiting. The school authorities have tried to discourage the students from buying from the hawkers but they have no alternative and continue to do so. I would not mind them if they were selling their items hygienically but playing around with the students’ health is a crime. This problem also exists at other schools. The hawkers have also fought with the School authorities and refused to budge from the area.
I request you to look into the matter and take strong action against these errant hawkers. They need to be fined or their things need to be confiscated.
Please help us by doing the needful.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Shrikant Doshi

From: akpatel@gmail.com
Sub: Negligence in maintenance of Public Park
Date: $18^{\text {th}}$ August, 2018
Dear Sir,
I am a resident of Ambawadi area. The children and elderly people living in this concrete jungle had only one public park in their vicinity to go to play or walk. It is with utter sadness that I must inform that the upkeep of Public Park has been neglected.
The plants are drying up, there is no one to water them, no one sweeps the park, and the swings are broken. The benches kept for the elders to sit are soiled by stray dogs. Now people come and throw their garbage from the surrounding societies here. The park has an unbearable stench.
I request you to kindly use your good office and depute the local ward officer to look into the matter and give us our only decent park back.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
Ankita Patel
