4. Advising a Friend to Stay Away from Fast Food

Your Address

Date

Dear Amit,

I hope you are fine. Mother told me that you have been eating too much fast food these days, and that really worries me. Fast food may look tasty, but it harms your stomach, spoils your skin, and makes you weak and tired. Please try to eat more home-cooked food, milk, fruits, and green vegetables. They give you real strength and keep your mind fresh. I want you to stay healthy and active, so promise me that you will avoid fast food as much as possible.

With love,

Yours affectionately,

Bhaiya

5. Advising a Friend to Avoid Bad Company, Smoking, and Drinking

Your Address

Date

Dear Sameer,

How are you? I am writing to you because I truly care for you. I have heard that you have made some new friends who are not a good influence. Please remember that bad company can spoil even the best of students. Smoking and drinking may look “cool,” but they slowly destroy health, studies, and future dreams. You are intelligent and capable of achieving great things. Choose your friends wisely and stay focused on your goals. I am sure you will take the right path.

With best wishes,

Yours lovingly,

Ravi

6. Advising a Friend to Stay Away from Social Media

Your Address

Date

Dear Shreya,

I hope you are doing well. I came to know that you are spending too much time on social media. It may seem fun at first, but it eats up precious hours, harms your studies, and sometimes fills the mind with unnecessary stress. Many posts and messages online are fake and can mislead young students. Instead, spend your free time reading good books, practising hobbies, playing outdoors, or talking to family members. These things will make you much happier. Please use social media only when truly needed.

With love,

Yours lovingly,

Anita

7. Advising Not to Stay Awake Till Late at Night

Your Address

Date

Dear Kunal,

I hope you are keeping well. I heard that you have been studying till very late at night. This is not good for your health or your concentration. When you sleep late, you feel sleepy in class and cannot understand lessons properly. A fresh mind works faster and learns better. So, make a habit of sleeping early and waking up early. Follow a simple timetable and give enough rest to your body and mind. Please take this advice seriously.

With warm regards,

Yours affectionately,

Brother

8. Advising Not to Use Mobile Phone Unnecessarily

Your Address

Date

Dear Pooja,

How are you? I am writing this letter because I want the best for you. Please do not use your mobile phone more than necessary. Too much screen time harms your eyes, wastes your study hours, and distracts your mind. Use the phone only for learning or important communication. Keep it away during meals and study time. Spend your free time reading, playing, or helping at home. These habits will help you grow into a disciplined and confident person.

With lots of love,

Yours lovingly,

Sneha

Roll No. 73. Letter to the Editor on pollution (expanded body)B–45, Shanti Nagar

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Editor

The Daily Herald

City – 123456Subject: Rising air and noise pollution in our citySir,Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities and the general public to the serious problem of air and noise pollution in our city. Over the last few years, our city has developed quickly, but this development has come with a heavy price. The number of vehicles on the roads has increased greatly, and thick black smoke from buses, trucks and auto-rickshaws can be seen throughout the day.As a student, I feel the bad effects of this pollution every day on my way to school. Many of my classmates complain of headaches, burning eyes and breathing problems. Some students who already suffer from asthma find it very difficult to move on the busy roads during peak hours. Apart from this, loud horns, unnecessary honking, and constant construction work create unbearable noise. Even at night, people burst loud firecrackers during celebrations, which disturbs students who are trying to study or sleep.If this situation continues, the health of children and elderly people will get worse and the environment will become unfit for healthy living. Therefore, I request the authorities to check the pollution level regularly, to punish vehicles that do not follow emission norms, and to encourage the use of public transport and bicycles. Strict rules should also be made to control unnecessary honking and loudspeakers. Your newspaper can play an important role by spreading awareness among citizens about keeping the city clean and peaceful.Yours faithfully

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Municipal Commissioner

Municipal Corporation

City – 123456Subject: Poor condition of roads in Green Park areaRespected Sir,I am a resident of Green Park area and a student of Class 7. Through this letter, I wish to bring to your notice the extremely poor condition of the roads in our locality. For the last several months, the main road as well as the inner lanes have been full of potholes and broken patches. After the recent rains, the situation has become even worse. Dirty water collects in the potholes, and the road looks more like a muddy field than a proper street.These damaged roads are causing great inconvenience and danger to the people living here. School children, office-goers and senior citizens have to walk very carefully to avoid slipping and getting injured. Two-wheelers often lose balance, and several minor accidents have already taken place. During the evening, when there is less light, it becomes almost impossible to see the potholes clearly. The stagnant water also becomes a breeding place for mosquitoes, which may lead to diseases like dengue and malaria.The residents of our colony have complained several times to the local ward office, but no permanent repair work has been done so far. Only a little mud or loose stones are spread on the road, which get washed away in the next rain. We therefore request you kindly to look into this matter seriously and arrange for proper repairing and resurfacing of the roads in Green Park at the earliest. This will ensure safe movement for school children and all citizens of the area.Yours sincerely

Rahul Verma

1. Frequent power cuts and bad consequencesB–45, Shanti Nagar

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Executive Engineer

Electricity Supply Department

City – 123456Subject: Complaint regarding frequent power cuts in Shanti NagarRespected Sir/Madam,I am a resident of Shanti Nagar and a student of Class 8. I wish to draw your kind attention to the frequent and long power cuts in our area, which are causing great inconvenience and many serious problems for students and other residents. Almost every day, there are sudden power cuts, sometimes for two to three hours at a stretch, and often without any prior notice.These interruptions affect our studies badly. Most of us depend on electric lights and fans to study in the evenings, especially during exams. When the electricity goes off, the rooms become hot and suffocating, and it becomes very difficult to concentrate on our books. Many students, including myself, are forced to stop studying early and go to bed because of the darkness and heat. Online classes and homework that require a mobile or computer also get disturbed due to power failure.Frequent power cuts also create problems for elderly people, small children and patients. In many houses, water pumps cannot work without electricity, so there is shortage of water for drinking, bathing and washing. The repeated switching off and on of power also damages electric appliances like fans, bulbs, televisions and refrigerators, causing financial loss to families.Therefore, I request you to look into this matter urgently. Kindly arrange for proper maintenance of the supply lines and inform residents in advance if any shutdown is necessary. Regular and stable power supply will greatly help students in their studies and improve the quality of life in our area.Yours faithfully

A Concerned Resident and Student2. Noise pollution during festivals and ceremoniesC–12, Green Park

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Station House Officer

Green Park Police Station

City – 123456Subject: Complaint regarding noise pollution during festivals and ceremoniesRespected Sir/Madam,I am a student of Class 7 and a resident of Green Park. Through this letter, I wish to complain about the increasing noise pollution in our locality during festivals, marriages and other ceremonies. Loudspeakers are often played at a very high volume late into the night, disturbing the peace and causing a lot of discomfort to residents.During such functions, DJs and bands play loud music on the streets and in community halls. The noise continues far beyond the permitted time, sometimes even past midnight. As a result, students like me find it extremely difficult to study or sleep properly. Many of us have examinations during this period and require a calm and quiet environment to concentrate. Elderly people, small children, and sick patients suffer even more because of this continuous loud noise.Although there are clear rules about the use of loudspeakers and time limits at night, these rules are not being followed well in our area. The organizers of functions rarely care about the inconvenience caused to others. This is not only unfair but also harmful to everyone’s health in the long run.I therefore request you kindly to take strict steps to control noise pollution in Green Park. The police may warn organizers in advance about the rules and take action whenever someone plays loud music beyond the permitted time or volume. A peaceful atmosphere will help students, patients and all citizens to live comfortably.Yours sincerely

A Responsible Citizen and Student3. Complaint against theft in the localityHouse No. 27, New Colony

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Station House Officer

New Colony Police Station

City – 123456Subject: Complaint regarding increasing incidents of theft in New ColonyRespected Sir/Madam,I am a resident of New Colony and a student of Class 8. I wish to bring to your notice the rising number of thefts in our locality during the past few months. Several houses have been broken into at night, and valuable items like cash, jewellery and mobile phones have been stolen. These incidents have created fear and insecurity among the residents.Very recently, thieves entered the house next to ours while the family had gone out for a function. When they returned, they found the main door lock broken and cupboards ransacked. Similar incidents have taken place in two or three other lanes as well. People are now afraid to leave their homes unattended, even for a short time. We children feel scared at night, and our parents are worried about our safety.The residents believe that miscreants take advantage of the dark corners and lack of proper patrolling at night. Some suspicious strangers are often seen loitering around, but there is no regular police presence to check them. If immediate steps are not taken, these thefts may increase further and lead to even more serious crimes.I request you kindly to arrange for frequent night patrolling in New Colony, especially in the inner lanes. Installing more street lights and encouraging residents to form neighbourhood watch groups will also help. We hope that with your active support, our locality will soon become safe and peaceful again.Yours faithfully

A Worried Resident and Student4. Complaint against insanitary conditionsD–10, Lakshmi Nagar

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Health Officer

Municipal Corporation

City – 123456Subject: Insanitary conditions in Lakshmi Nagar 

Respected Sir/Madam,Through this letter, I wish to highlight the insanitary conditions in Lakshmi Nagar, where I live with my family. The streets are often littered with garbage, and the drains are choked with dirty water and plastic waste. This has made our surroundings extremely unhealthy and unpleasant for the residents.The sweepers do not come regularly, and even when they come, they sometimes leave the garbage lying in open heaps at the corners of the roads. Stray dogs, cows and pigs roam around these heaps, scattering the waste all over the street. In the absence of proper dustbins and regular cleaning, people are forced to throw household waste on the roadside. This garbage gives out a foul smell, making it difficult for us to even walk or play outside.The open drains are another major problem. During the rainy season, they overflow and spread dirty water on the roads. This stagnant water becomes a breeding place for flies and mosquitoes, increasing the chances of diseases like diarrhoea, malaria and dengue. Small children, who often play near the drains, are at a greater risk of falling ill.In view of these serious health hazards, I request you kindly to arrange for immediate and regular cleaning of streets and drains in Lakshmi Nagar. Covered dustbins should be placed at suitable points so that people can dispose of their waste properly. Awareness campaigns can also be started to educate residents about keeping their surroundings clean. A clean and hygienic locality will protect everyone’s health, especially that of school-going children.Yours obediently

A Concerned Student and Resident5. Complaint regarding dengue during rainy seasonA–5, Vivek Vihar

City – 123456

Date: 10 December 2025The Chief Medical Officer

District Health Department

City – 123456Subject: Rising cases of dengue in Vivek Vihar during rainy seasonRespected Sir/Madam,I am a student of Class 7 and a resident of Vivek Vihar. I wish to draw your attention to the increasing cases of dengue in our locality during the present rainy season. Many people, including children, have been affected, and some have required hospitalization. This has created fear and tension among all the families living here.Dengue spreads mainly due to mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water. Unfortunately, there are several places in our area where rainwater collects and remains for many days. Broken pots, old tyres, uncovered water tanks and open drains are commonly seen. In the evenings, a large number of mosquitoes can be seen around parks, near garbage dumps and even inside houses. Parents are constantly worried about their children, as they are more vulnerable to mosquito bites while playing outside.Although residents are trying to keep their houses clean, this is not enough to control the disease. Fogging and spraying of anti-mosquito chemicals by the health department have not been done regularly. There are also no clear notices or awareness drives about the symptoms of dengue and preventive measures. Many people do not realize the seriousness of high fever and delay going to the doctor.I therefore request you to take immediate action to control dengue in Vivek Vihar. Regular fogging, cleaning of stagnant water, and covering of drains and tanks are urgently needed. Pamphlets, posters and announcements should be used to educate people about using mosquito nets, wearing full-sleeved clothes and avoiding waterlogging around their homes. Your timely steps can save many lives and help students like us stay healthy and continue our studies without fear.Yours sincerely
