ABC Public School
New Delhi

Subject: Request for library improvement fund
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing on behalf of the students of Class 7 to request additional funds for improving our school library.
Our school library is an essential resource for academic growth. However, we have noticed that many books are outdated, and we lack recent publications. The reading area has limited seating, and the lighting needs improvement.
We request the following improvements:
1. Purchase of new reference books and fiction
2. Installation of better lighting
3. Addition of more chairs and tables
4. Subscription to educational magazines
We believe these improvements will encourage more students to use the library and develop reading habits. We are willing to organize a book donation drive to support this initiative.
Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to your positive response.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to highlight the severe water shortage problem in South Delhi.
For the past month, residents of our area have been receiving water only for one hour daily. This inadequate supply affects daily activities, hygiene, and health. Senior citizens and children suffer the most.

3. Wastage of water
4. Lack of rainwater harvesting
We request the authorities to:
1. Repair leaking pipelines
2. Implement rainwater harvesting
3. Promote water conservation awareness
4. Ensure equitable water distribution
Citizens should also practice water conservation. Every drop counts in this crisis.
I hope this letter draws attention to this urgent issue and prompts immediate action.

Subject: Complaint about poor cleanliness in Rajdhani Express trains
Respected Sir/Madam,
I recently traveled from New Delhi to Mumbai on Rajdhani Express (Train No. 12951) on 15th March 2024 and was disappointed by the poor cleanliness standards.

4. Regular pest control
5. Passenger feedback system
I hope you will take necessary measures to improve cleanliness standards and ensure hygienic travel for all passengers.

Subject: Request for change of seat due to vision problem
Respected Ma'am,
I am writing to request a change in my seating arrangement in the classroom. I am currently sitting in the last row (Seat No. 25) and facing difficulty in reading the blackboard clearly.
I have recently been diagnosed with mild myopia (nearsightedness) by an eye specialist. While I have been prescribed glasses, which will take a week to be ready, I am struggling to see what is written on the board from the back row.
I kindly request you to allow me to sit in the front row temporarily until I get my glasses. This will help me:
1. See the board clearly
2. Take proper notes
3. Participate actively in class
4. Avoid straining my eyes further
I am willing to exchange seats with any student who agrees. I will return to my original seat once I get my glasses.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

I'm writing to tell you about our school picnic that we had last Saturday. We went to the National Zoological Park, and it was absolutely amazing!
We started early at 7 AM from school. The bus journey was full of songs and laughter. When we reached the zoo, our teacher divided us into groups. I was in Rahul's group.
We saw so many animals - lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and even pandas! The white tiger was the most majestic. We also visited the reptile house, but I found it a bit scary.
The best part was the lunch break. We sat under a huge banyan tree and shared our food. I had brought sandwiches, chips, and juice. My friends shared their cupcakes and cookies with me.
We also clicked lots of photographs. I'm sending you some of the best ones with this letter. I wish you could have been there with us.
When are you visiting us next? We can plan a trip to the zoo together. Give my love to Uncle, Aunty, and Grandma.

Dear [Friend's Name],
How are you? Our final exams just got over yesterday, and I'm so relieved! Now I can finally relax and enjoy the summer vacation.
I'm writing to share my exciting summer plans with you. My family is planning a trip to Shimla in the first week of May. We'll be staying there for ten days. I've never seen snow before, so I'm really excited!
After returning from Shimla, I'm joining a summer camp organized by our school. It's a two-week program with activities like swimming, painting, and robotics. I've chosen robotics because I want to learn how to make simple robots.
In June, I plan to visit my grandparents in Pune for two weeks. I love spending time with them. Grandma teaches me cooking, and Grandpa tells me amazing stories about his childhood.
What are your plans for the vacation? If you're free in July, why don't you come and stay with us for a week? We can go cycling, play video games, and visit the new science museum that opened near my house.
Also, don't forget to complete the holiday homework. Our math teacher has given us a lot of problems to solve!
Write back soon and tell me about your plans. Say hello to your parents from me.

Dear Didi,
How are you? I miss you so much! It's been two months since you left for college, and the house feels empty without you.
I'm writing to tell you about my new school. Remember I was nervous about changing schools? Well, I've adjusted quite well now!
My new school, Modern Public School, is really big and beautiful. It has a huge playground, a well-stocked library, and even a computer lab with the latest computers. My favorite place is the science lab - it has so many interesting equipment!
I've made some new friends. Rohan sits next to me in class. He's from Jaipur and loves cricket just like me. Priya is another friend who helps me with English grammar.
My class teacher, Mrs. Sharma, is very kind. She teaches us Mathematics and makes even difficult problems seem easy. The Principal is strict but fair.
The school timing is from 8 AM to 2 PM. I take the school bus, which picks me up at 7:30 AM. The bus conductor is friendly and knows all students by name.
We have special classes for music, art, and sports. I've joined the school cricket team and have practice every Wednesday.
When are you coming home for vacation? I want to show you my school and introduce you to my new friends. Mom and Dad are fine. Mom says she misses your help in the kitchen!
Take care of yourself and study well. Don't forget to eat properly and sleep on time.
Missing you,
Your loving brother,

Dear Didi,
How are you? I miss you so much! It's been two months since you left for college, and the house feels empty without you.
I'm writing to tell you about my new school. Remember I was nervous about changing schools? Well, I've adjusted quite well now!
My new school, Modern Public School, is really big and beautiful. It has a huge playground, a well-stocked library, and even a computer lab with the latest computers. My favorite place is the science lab - it has so many interesting equipment!
I've made some new friends. Rohan sits next to me in class. He's from Jaipur and loves cricket just like me. Priya is another friend who helps me with English grammar.
My class teacher, Mrs. Sharma, is very kind. She teaches us Mathematics and makes even difficult problems seem easy. The Principal is strict but fair.
The school timing is from 8 AM to 2 PM. I take the school bus, which picks me up at 7:30 AM. The bus conductor is friendly and knows all students by name.
We have special classes for music, art, and sports. I've joined the school cricket team and have practice every Wednesday.
When are you coming home for vacation? I want to show you my school and introduce you to my new friends. Mom and Dad are fine. Mom says she misses your help in the kitchen!
Take care of yourself and study well. Don't forget to eat properly and sleep on time.
Missing you,
Your loving brother,
[Your Name]

Dear [Friend's Name],
I was absolutely thrilled to hear the wonderful news about your victory in the State Level Science Exhibition! Heartiest congratulations on this remarkable achievement!
When I saw your name in the newspaper as the first prize winner, I felt so proud of you. I immediately called your home, but your mother said you were still in the city for the award ceremony.
Winning against participants from all over the state is no small feat. Your working model of the solar-powered car must have been truly impressive. I remember how hard you worked on it for months - all those evenings in the science lab, the trials and errors, your dedication finally paid off!
This achievement proves that hard work and passion always bring success. You have not only brought glory to yourself but also to our school. Our Principal announced your achievement in the morning assembly today, and everyone applauded.
When you return, we must celebrate properly. Let's go to our favorite ice cream parlor - my treat! Also, please share all the details of the competition and the award ceremony. I want to know everything!
Once again, congratulations! Keep up the excellent work. I'm sure this is just the beginning of many more successes for you.
Give my regards to your parents who must be so proud of you.

18. Write a letter to your friend about a funny incident that happened in school.
[Your Address]

Date: 12th March 2024
Dear [Friend's Name],
How are you? I hope you're having a great time at your new school. I miss our fun times together.
I'm writing to tell you about a hilarious incident that happened in school yesterday. You remember our strict English teacher, Mrs. Kapoor? Well, something unbelievable happened in her class!
We were having a grammar lesson about tenses when suddenly a little puppy entered our classroom! No one knows how it got in. It was a cute brown puppy with white patches.
The puppy started running around the classroom, and everyone started laughing. Mrs. Kapoor tried to maintain order, but the puppy jumped onto her table! It picked up her red pen in its mouth and ran around with it.
The funniest part was when our class monitor tried to catch the puppy. He slipped and fell, and his glasses flew off! Everyone was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of our eyes.
Finally, the school peon came and took the puppy away. Mrs. Kapoor was trying hard not to laugh, but we could see she was also amused. She said, "Well, that was an unexpected interruption in our present continuous tense lesson!"
The whole school was talking about it for the rest of the day. Even the Principal heard about it and smiled when he saw Mrs. Kapoor!
I wish you were here to see it. It was the funniest thing that has happened this year. Write back soon and tell me if anything interesting happens at your school.

19. Write a letter to your pen pal from another country describing Indian festivals.
[Your Address]
[City], India
Date: 28th March 2024
Dear [Pen Pal's Name],
Thank you for your lovely letter. I was happy to know about Christmas celebrations in your country. Today, I want to tell you about Indian festivals, which are colorful, joyful, and full of traditions.
India is called the "land of festivals" because we celebrate so many throughout the year. Each festival has its own significance and unique way of celebration.
Diwali is the festival of lights and my favorite. We decorate our homes with oil lamps (diyas) and colorful lights. We wear new clothes, exchange sweets with neighbors, and worship Goddess Lakshmi. At night, we burst fireworks. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness.
Holi is the festival of colors. People play with colored powders and water. We sing, dance, and visit friends and relatives. Special sweets called gujiya are prepared. It celebrates the arrival of spring.
Eid is celebrated by our Muslim friends. They pray in mosques, wear new clothes, and prepare delicious food like biryani and sewaiyan. They share food with neighbors and help the poor.
Christmas is celebrated by Christians. Churches are decorated beautifully. People sing carols and exchange gifts. Santa Claus brings presents for children.
Raksha Bandhan is a beautiful festival where sisters tie a sacred thread (rakhi) on their brothers' wrists, and brothers promise to protect them.
What I love most is that all communities participate in each other's festivals. During Diwali, my Muslim friends visit us, and during Eid, we visit them.
I'm sending you some pictures of our festivals. Do you celebrate any festivals similar to ours? Write and tell me about them.
Best wishes,

Dear Papa,
How are you? How is your business trip going? Mom told me you'll be back next week. We all miss you a lot.
I'm writing to update you about my exam preparations. My final exams start from 10th April, and I'm studying hard. Mom has made a strict timetable for me, and I'm following it properly.
I wake up at 5 AM every day and study till 7 AM. Then after school, I study from 4 PM to 7 PM. Mom helps me with difficult topics, especially in Science. Mathematics is going well - I'm practicing all the problems you taught me last month.
My teacher says I've improved a lot in English. I'm reading storybooks to improve my vocabulary, just like you suggested. I've also joined a group study with my friends Rahul and Priya. We help each other with difficult topics.
Don't worry about me - I'm taking regular breaks, eating healthy food, and sleeping on time. Mom makes sure I don't study too much at a stretch. She gives me fruit juice and nuts during study breaks.
How is the weather in Mumbai? Is it very hot? Please take care of your health. Don't skip meals because of work.
I've kept your favorite chair near my study table. It makes me feel like you're here guiding me. I promise I'll make you proud with my results.
Come back soon. We all love you and miss you.
