Subject: Importance of healthy life style
Dear Mohan
Please accept my heartiest congratulations on your doing so well in the last examination. I am really proud of you. Yet, you also cause me some worry.
I hear that you have become overweight and have 100 kg. Well, I wonder how can you be so careless about your health. You are still young and with your height you should weigh about 60-65 kg only. You know, you are already affected with so many health problems. A bad health lowers a man's self-esteem. My dear, you must immediately adopt a healthy life style and take remedial steps that need to be undertaken to reduce weight and become healthy.
Will you allow me to suggest a few things? First of all, you must at once stop taking junk food. Then, do not eat anything unless you feel really hungry. Second important thing is exercise. The easiest and the best exercise is jogging. If possible, consult some yoga expert. He can give you easy and useful tips. I hope you will take all this in good stead.
Yours lovingly
Rakesh

Subject: Helping someone in
Sir
Kindly allow me some space in your esteemed newspaper to exhort my friends the world over to lend a helping hand to those who need our help.
May be, our school's example will inspire some people. Young Cherian is a student of IX class of our school. A few days ago, he fell ill. His parents and in fact everyone was shocked when it was diagnosed that he suffered from blood cancer. His parents are not rich. They could hardly afford to take him to a good hospital. The doctor there said that the treatment would require some three lac rupees. Our school's principal decided that Cherian should be helped. He called a prayer meeting which was attended by all the students and the teachers. There each of us contributed whatever we could. This was, however, not enough. So the school organized a food festival for the general public. We collected enough money to help Cherian. He is now in the famous cancer hospital of Mumbai undergoing treatment.
Yours truly

Subject: Importance of discipline in life
Dear Apoorva
I hope you are enjoying your time in the school hostel. May be, you are not very happy with some arrangements like the food and your room. I am, however, quite sure that you will soon learn to adjust with these things quickly.
Life in a school hostel is much disciplined. In the beginning you may not like it but let me teIl you that ultimately it will benefit you a great deal. All that you need to do is to follow the instructions of your teachers and the hostel warden to the letter. Do not feel a sense of privation if you find your freedom a little curtailed. In fact, you must cooperate in this matter. After all, discipline cannot be enforced by law alone. You have to train your mind. It has to come from within. Accept it happily even when you do not like it. Remember, all the great people were very disciplined in life. I am sure that a year or two of disciplined life at the hostel will change you. You will then feel that you are better fir to fulfil your ambition.
Yours affectionately

4. Your friend has decided to leave his studies to help his father in buisness. Write an e-mail in about 120 words urging him not to take a hasty decision.

My dear Shivam
I am shocked to hear that you have decided to leave studies to help your father in business. You are still at school. There is a long way for you to go. I agree that by helping your father in his business, you will be making money. But, dear, is that the sole aim of your life? Better education will ultimately enable you to earn much more.
Education helps to perfect our mind in four basic abilities. First, to think clearly: second, to communicate oneself orally and in writing; third, it helps us to make valid judgements in conflicting matter. Four, to evaluate clearly what is important and unimportant in the world. And I think, my dear, these are the qualities which come handy in any profession and any situation. I know you have your dreams in life. You must pursue your studies because education alone will pave the way to success and help you in realizing your dreams. I know you are very wise and yet I have dared to give you a piece of advice. Please excuse me if you think that I have crossed the limits of propriety.
Yours affectionately
Rahul
