Dear Anuj
I am glad to know that Mohan’s uncle met you recently in your boarding school hostel. He has phoned Papa to tell him that you have lost weight and you look weak. It is good that you are an exceptionally brilliant student. But at the same time, you should take care of your health also. To have a sound mind, a sound body is equally essential.
So take a healthy and rich diet. Get up early in the morning. Go for a long walk. You should also start playing some games. Team spirit, discipline and physical fitness are the keys to success in life.
I hope next time when you come home, you look healthier, fit and fine.

C. Letters to the Editor

Questions 1. A hobby is a leisure time activity for pleasure. Do you think it should be made part of the school curriculum? Express your considered opinion in a letter to the editor of a national daily.
Answer:

The Editor
The Hindustan Times
Ghaziabad
Feb, 10, 20XX
Sub: Hobby as a part of education.
Dear Sir
A hobby is altogether different from an occupation. It is taken up not for profit but for pleasure. It shows one’s hidden talent. The kind of hobby varies from person to person. The common hobbies are gardening, photography and stamp collecting.
In my opinion, every student should be encouraged to pursue one or the other hobby. It can be reading and writing also. The youngsters will enjoy doing the activity of their choice and getting recognition.
But making a hobby a compulsory subject is neither practicable nor in the interest of students. The students are already overloaded with their studies. Singing, painting and acting should be optional, not a vital part of school life.
Yours truly
Naina Mehta
Railway Road, Ambala.

Questions 2. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper about the worsening law and order situation in your town.
Answer:

Sub: Rising crime rate in Gurgaon
Sir
Gurgaon is a fast expanding town in the National Capital Region. It has big hotels, Malls and high-rise buildings. The countless multinational offices here employ thousands of workers. The population is increasing which includes migrants from several areas. As those migrants dream for a better life, they need money which they can’t get from their petty jobs.
As a result, criminal activities are on the rise. Incidents like chain snatching, robbery, and housebreaking occur almost every day.
The police force is inactive or corrupt. So the people are feeling unsafe. The state must take some strict measures to restore the law and order situation.

Questions 3. Senior citizens constitute a big chunk of our population. They are our guides, guardians and mentors. But are we doing something to keep them well-fed and secure? Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper expressing how you feel about the security of Senior citizens.
Answer:

The Editor
Indian Express

Sub: Security of Senior Citizens Dear Sir
Persons above the age of 65 are considered senior citizens. Our grandparents come in this category. They are aged, and physically too weak to defend themselves. In metro cities, most such couples live alone in flats. Their children are married and settled abroad. The aged couples take in domestic helps to do all odd jobs. But for several hours at noon and midnight, they have to live alone in the house. They are easy prey for the robbers who kill them and loot them.
The senior citizens get no security from the police or from neighbours. Many cases of murders of aged couples are reported in the newspapers. In the evening of life, their sons also leave them alone. Who, after all, will ensure their safety except the state and the police? We all owe our life and upbringing to our parents. grandparents. Is it not our moral duty to protect and provide for their security? The senior citizens also have to be on their guard. They should not engage servants and maids without their proper verification.

Sub: About nuisance of loudspeakers.
Sir
Through your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned about the growing nuisance created by loudspeakers in our locality. People organise Jagran for the whole night. They don’t care for the concerns of the students, heart patients or the old people residing in the locality. The high volume of the loudspeakers disturbs them. In marriage, the high volume of music is always irritating. Today, even temples, gurudwaras, and mosques are no longer a place of peace. The prayers are read over loudspeakers. People living in the surrounding areas feel disturbed. It should be checked with strict rules. These activities can be done at a low pitch. There should be a limitation on the time period.
I hope you will highlight my points strongly.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
