 To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                                          Sub: Environmental damaged caused by deforestation.
 Sir,
      I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express through the columns of your esteemed daily about the problem of Environmental damaged caused by deforestation.
      Trees take a major role to keep balance of our environment. The environment is gradually degrading due to the thoughtless feeling of modern generation. Trees keep our environment pure and pollution free. Besides, they bring rains, prevent floods, stop soil erosion, maintain balance of oxygen and carbon-di-oxide in the atmosphere. Trees are cut to obtain timber to make paper, to provide fuel and to get more land for agricultural, industrial and residential purposes. This deforestation leads to the extinction of many animals and plant species. Massive deforestation causes droughts, flood, natural calamities and upsets the ecological balance. We should aware of the major problem and stop feeling of trees for future generation on this beautiful earth.
         Under the above circumstances I, therefore, request you to write the leading article on the tropic so that the government and the concerned authority should take the necessary steps as early as possible.

To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                             
                                                         Sub: Bad condition of local hospital .
 Sir,
    I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express through the columns of your esteemed daily about the bad condition of local hospital.
   The condition of the hospital in our locality is deplorable. It is the only source of medical help of at least twenty villages. But the hospital is dirty, unhygienic and mismanaged. The doctors are irregular and busy in private practice. The nurses are not always sympathetic and callous in their duties. Occasionally the patients have to lie on the floor or allotted two patients in a bed. The foods are inedible. The X-ray machine is out of order. The cats and dogs stay here and there. In a brief, the condition is very miserable.
   Under the above circumstances I, therefore, request you to write the leading article on the tropic so that the government should take the necessary steps as early as possible.

Betai, Nadia                                                                                                              Your faithfully,

3. Write a letter to editor about the hazards of plastic or polymers.
   To
   The Editor,
   The Telegraph,
   Kolkata – 700001.
                                                    Sub: Hazards of plastic or polymers.
   Sir,
         I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express through the columns of your esteemed daily to   ventilate my views about the hazards of plastic or polymers.
        The use of plastic or polymers carry bags has become extremely popular. Plastic bags are cheap and very light to bear. So people are becoming fond of using them. We use plastic bags for carrying food items, vegetables, clothes and medicines what not ? But we are not aware of the hazards. Polymer is a non-destructible substance. It is made of harmful toxic chemicals like chromium, nickel, copper and poisonous colours. It can neither be burnt buried. They prevent the growth of agriculture. They pollute both land and water. Plastic choke the drains, create favourable mosquito breeding ground. They destroy the fertility of the soil. The gases emitted from burnt plastic are caused of asthma, cancer and skin diseases. They also cause serious dumping problem.
        Under the above circumstances I, therefore, request you to write the leading article on the tropics so that the government and the concerned authority should take the necessary steps as early as possible.

4. Write a letter to the Editor daily newspaper complaining against them who talk over the cell phones while crossing the roads or railway lines or driving on the roads.
   To
   The Editor,
   The Telegraph,
   Kolkata – 700001.
                                         Sub: A complaint against the misuse of mobile phones.
   Sir,
        I shall be highly happy if you kindly publish my letter in your English Daily newspaper.
        The cell phone is the latest gift of the science in the modern age. In this age we can not pass a day without the use of this gift. But this gift is not used properly. A large number of young people are found talking over the cell phone while crossing the roads or railway lines or driving moter cycles, buses, taxies etc. For this, many people die in accidents. But the users of the cell phones are careless. But indiscriminate use of mobile phone is seldom becoming a cause for disgust and trouble. It kills their times and makes them crazy. The radiation of harmful rays may cause brain, throat tumour. The towers that send signals to mobile badly affect animal and plant life also.
        The Government should take an immediate step to punish them who will talk over cell phones while crossing the roads or railway lines or driving the different types of vechiles.

5. Write a letter to the Editor or a Leading English Newspaper expressing your concern and disgust over the evils of ragging.
   To
   The Editor,
   The Telegraph,
   Kolkata – 700001.
                                                   Sub: Ragging in educational institutions.
   Sir,
        I shall be happy if you kindly publish my letter in your English Daily newspaper.
        The meritorious students are going for joint Entrance examination after passing the H.S. Examination. Their guardians and the students themselves dream of a flowery future when they succeed in the J.E.E. and join in the branch of this course in a college either in his own city or in an institution far away institution he or she is subjected to ragging by the senior students of the same college. Ragging, as is known today is one of the nastiest cultures in which the seniors welcome the newcomers. From severe physical and mental torture to ugliest methods they are subjected to is beyond the dream of the savage society. The physical and mental shock that they encounter in the beginning of their studies dry up all their ambition and they are often compelled to come back to their homes. The culture of ragging is not only shameful but also it is barbarous and devoid of all possible cultural sense.
     Under the circumstance, the Government should take an immediate step to stop ragging from all the colleges for the future of our country.

Krishnanagar, Nadia                                                                                               Your faithfully,

6. Write a letter to the Editor of an English newspaper, about the high price of essential commodities.
   To
   The Editor,
   The Telegraph,
   Kolkata – 700001.
                                                Sub: High Price of Essential Commodities
   Sir,
       I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express through the columns of your esteemed daily about the problem by high price of essential commodities.
       The price of essential commodities are increasing day by day in a galloping speed. Rice sells at Rupees 36 per Kilo, meat sells 400 per kilo, mustard oil sells 110 a litre etc. The medicine are beyond the purchasing power of the patients. The price of petrol, diesel, l.p.g. gas are going up in every month. The prices of vegetables, edible oil, cloths, and other essential commodities are also going up. As a result , poor and middle class people suffer most. In my opinion, the black marketers and dishonest businessmen are responsible for the condition. Less productions is also a cause for price rise.
        Under the above circumstances, I therefore, request you to write the leading article on the tropic so that the government and the concerned authority should take the necessary steps as early as possible to improve the condition.

                                                         Sub: Frequent load-shedding
   Sir,
       I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express through the columns of your esteemed daily about frequent load-shedding.
       Load-shedding is a great trouble to the people. It is daily occurrence in our town. It is causing great trouble to the people. The students cannot prepare their lesson. In summar, the old and sick suffer most. The shopkeepers and the customers face a great trouble. Factories and industries are paralysed. Production is hampered. The antisocial activities take place during load-shedding. It has been a major problem in our locality.
       Under the above circumstances, I, therefore, request you to write a leading article on the tropic so that government and the concerned authority should take the necessary steps as early as possible.

8. Against anti-social activities in your locality   
 To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                              Sub: Anti-social activities and the law and order situation
   Sir,
       I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express my views through the columns of your esteemed daily about the anti-social activities and the law and order situation.
      For the last few years some anti-social elements have been in operation in our town. They appear to have no fear of the law. The rob passers-by of their valuables at the point of a dagger after dusk. Sometimes they move about with revolvers and bombs and private properties on flimsy issues. Recently these anti-social have committed a daring robbery of Rs. 15 lakhs and killed a guard in the action. Though the incident was reported to the police and the shop keeper named the criminals he suspected, no one has been arrested so far. The robbers are roaming freely in our locality. The people of our area are in panic. We have lost all confidence in the law and order system.
       The government should immediately take measures to mobilize the police and relieve us from our fears and anxieties.

9. On the evils of the dowry system
To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                                                  Sub: The dowry system in our society
   Sir,
        I shall be highly obliged if you kindly allow me to express my views through the columns of your esteemed daily about the dowry system in our society.
       It was quite alarming to find reports of three incidents of dowry deaths on three consecutive days in your newspaper. Even after decades of protests and movements dowry has remained a deciding factor in most marriages in India. It was interesting to note that, although both demanding and giving dowry are illegal, in each of these cases the bride’s guardians had initially accepted the demands of the groom and his family. It is only after the unnatural death of the bride that they came to the law for justice. In fact ever since the laws prohibiting dowry have been enforced, the judiciary has been able to prosecute the culprit only in a few cases of dowry deaths, but the system has not been eradicated.
     The only way to root it out is to generate public resistance against it and at the same time pass far stricter laws and ensure that they are enforced and offenders are punished.

My dear Sourav,
                Yesterday I made the chance to see “Pather Panchali” of Satyajit Ray. I read the novel before and it haunted me then for a few days. Once again Ray’s film has created the same sensation in my mind.
              It is an experience to see such a classical film. You must have gone through the novel of Bibhuti Bhushan Bandyopadhyay. So I need not discuss any thing about its theme. I want to say that the director has made the novel alive with his magic touch. The character like Apu, Durga, Sarbajaya and the grand old Indira Thakrun easily win out hearts. We are simply amazed to see how natural character of Indira Thakrun and our hearts felt with pathos to find her dead. The film brings to us the essentiality of rural life. The film ends but leaves a lasting impression on mind of the audience.
             In a word, “Pather Panchali” is the gem of a classic creation. You must try to see it immediately and write to me your experience about it, if you have a chance to see the film.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Yours ever,

12. On the alarming spread of Malaria.

To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                                                               Sub: Alarming spread of malaria
   Sir,
       Let me thank you for your editorial on the recent outbreak of malaria in West Bengal. Almost forgotten in the late 70s and 80s, this disease has become a major killer in 2016, especially in the eastern part of India. The sudden upsurge of malignant malaria in our state in the last few years has left us helpless. In many cases the patients die even before the disease is detected. It was correctly pointed out in the article that the measures taken by the Government in order to fight malaria is woefully inadequate. But unfortunately one important aspect was overlooked in the article. It would be very helpful for everybody if you publish an article providing information about hospitals and clinics that patients of malignant malaria, and the drugstores where the necessary medicines are available.
               Under the above circumstances, I, therefore, request you to write a leading article on the tropic so that government and the concerned authority should take the necessary steps as early as possible.

13. On failure in an examination
       
My dear Bijoy,
      I am quite surprised at the news of your failure in the Madhyamik Examination. I wonder how it happened. You never failed in any examination before.
                 I am quite sure that you would have been successful, if you had not fallen ill before the examinations. How ever, past is past. Now cheer up, my friend. An examination is a game of chance. I have no doubt, once you have recovered from your illness, you’ll easily get through it.
                Moreover, often good students fare badly in the first attempt. You will surely come out successful next time. Always remember, every cloud has a silver lining.

Dear Bir Bahadur,
                I am very glad to receive your letter after a long interval. It is news to me that you have developed the hobby of gardening. It is indeed an excellent hobby. You have asked me if I have any. I do not know whether you will call reading poems a hobby. Yet, that is perhaps the only thing that gives me the greatest pleasure.
                Man’s life on this earth is, as we are well aware, full of sorrow and suffering. I think there is one golden remedy for this. If one reads a good poem all alone, one is sure to forget one’s suffering for the time being. In the quite of evening I take up a volume of Tagore’s Works and turn over its pages reciting this poem or that as my fancy chooses. This makes my sorrow and suffering less painful. It has also helped me to form the habit of finding out the good and the beautiful in all that I meet.
                You will always find a book of poems under my copy of Algebra or Geometry or English Grammar. In fact, I can never part with my dearest companion. In between more serious studies I always peep into it and refresh my mind. It is indeed, an excellent pick-me-up.
                  Do please try it yourself and let me know how you feel. 
                Hope this will find you in the best of spirits. With love,

Sir,
      I , on behalf on the residents of Rampurhat Municipality, would like to draw your kind attention to the recent out break of dengue in the dengue,  in the locality. Dengue, a killer disease is not only broken out in Kolkata. It has also touched a remote town like us. The mosquito that bears dengue grows on fresh as well as stagnant water remaining in and around of our house. The garbage that is dumped on the wayside, even in the narrow lanes of the residential area, is not removed in time. A person affected with dengue finds a little chance to survive. Two persons, one lady and a child have already died of dengue in the town. People are panicked of this fatal disease.
      So I request you to take preventive measure to destroy mosquito and make people aware how to fight against this odd.

17. Write a letter to your pen-friend living in the U.S.A. telling him why you are so proud to be born in India.
Dear Raju,
         I have heard a lot of your country, learnt people in your country. They are dynamic, enthusiastic in nature but rational as well as formal in behavior. But India is quite different. Both, the people and their nature of India are in my heart. You know here the people are of distinct nature. It’s a land of diversity and at the same time, there is firm unity in diversity. Regarding geographical features we can say India is a miniature form of the world. Here we have the ocean, the sea, the mountains, hills, forests, deserts and carpet like plants. Multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural land is India that bears rich cultural, historical, architectural and spiritual heritage. It has wide range of flora and fauna. Above all the people  of India are social, charitable, religious, devotional, cordial, amicable, informal in nature. They are fond of festivals and religious ceremony. Though at present crime and corruption have been a trend among a section of power-monger politicians, India is full of good peoples. They know how to welcome, love, extend charity and offer shelter. For its man with broadness and nature with bounty I am proud of and wish to born on this noble again and again. No more today.
With best of love.                                                                                                          Yours sincerely,

                How are you ? I am fine. I came to know your annual examination result is out. But I find, it is not so satisfactory. Your friend, Mimo told me you were not serious about your study. I also knew that you had been mobile addicted. You spend much time with mobile. They often find you doing phone with your friends. It is not good at all. It is your prime time of study and to achieve academic qualification. So mind on your study much and make proper use of your valuable time. Father is upset at your result.
ADDRESS
             I will take report from Mimo. Take care of yourself. No more today. With best of love.
                                                                                                                                Yours fondly,

19. Write an application to the Headmaster of our school requesting him to grant you free studentship.
To
The Headmaster
Barnia High School
Barnia, Nadia.
Sir,
    I beg to state that I have just been admitted to Class XI of your school. I was admitted as a fee-paying student, although I had applied for a full-free studentship before I was admitted. I was asked to application. I was asked to apply to you after admission. Hence this application.
    Sir, I come of a lower middle class family. My father is a peon in the District Engineer’s office. His total monthly salary is only Rs. 2000. Three of my brothers are at also school. Two of my sisters have just finished School and my father cannot decide whether to give them further education or to find husbands for them. In either case, he has not got the cash required. I can maintain by part-time work. But this would delay my studies. If I failed or got a Third Division, it would be disastrous.
    I have some personal claim to a free studentship. I gather that students who are good at games are offered free students. I played as a Full Back for my School Football Team regularly. I enclose a certificate from the Games Teacher of ABC High School from where I passed my School Final. I have already started playing for our School team. Our Games teacher will be able to tell you how he rates my abilities.
    Hoping that you would be able to grant my prayer.
                                                                                                                                                 Yours obediently,
                                                                                                                                                       Suman Das

22. On the dangers of multi-storied building collapses.

To
 The Editor,
 The Telegraph,
 Kolkata – 700001.
                                                   Sub: Multi-storied building collapses
   Sir,
        The memory of the collapse of a multi-storied building a few years ago at Bhowanipur has not  yet faded. Now the six-storeyed Shibalik which was built only ten years ago on Lansdowne Road collapsed like a castle of playing cards at about 3.45 a.m. when some of the residents were sleeping their last sleep. It is the fourth such tragedy in the last six years. Of course, the police, the fire brigade and local volunteers have rescued some injured persons from the debris. But this should not be any consolation. At first it was said that the weight of the marbles on the floors and gardening on the roof caused the Shibalik collapse. But it is now being suspected that the low-quality building materials, faulty plan and the corporation-promoter alliance are at the bottom of every such tragic happening. Some committees would perhaps be hushed up in course of time.
      The whole country is shocked and grieved at the collapse of the Shibalik building. Today we appeal to the sensibilities of all citizens not to remain unconcerned or indifferent. And not only strict laws should be laid down but their enforcement should be guaranteed and offenders should be punished.
27 July, 2017                                                                                                                          Yours faithfully,
Kolkata                                                                                                                                     Salil Sengupta



23. About your experience in visiting a place of historical interest.

My dear Mukti,
                Your letter was waiting for me in our letter –box as I had been away from home for a week.
                You Know , I had a long-cherished desire to visit Delhi and Agra as these are places of great historical interest. My parents agreed to take me to Delhi during last Puja vacation. Naturally my joy knew no bounds. We reached Delhi by Rajdhani express and lodged in a hotel for a week. From the first day we started going out for sightseeing.
                I saw there the Red Fort, the Moti Masjid, the Jumma Masjid, the Dewan-i-khas, the Dewani-i-am and the Qutub Minar. I also visited the Parliament House, the  Jantar Mantar, Shantiban, the Rajghat, the Vijayghat, the Rashtrapati Bhaban and India Gate. We also went to Agra for two days. There we visited the Taj Mahal on a full moon night. It was a dream in marble that left me simply spell-bound. The majestic beauty of the Taj will for ever remain imprinted on my mind.
                It was a pity that we could stay in Delhi for only two weeks. I wish I could stay there for at least a month and spend more time at the historical monuments. With love and good wishes,
                                                                                                                                                            Yours truly,
                                                                                                                                                              Anindya
24. Write a letter to your friend about a book fair in your city.

Dear Erich,
                I have just received your letter containing a very lively description of the New York Book Fair. Reading your letter made me feel as if I was walking through the fair along with you. You have asked me to tell you about book fairs in Kolkata.
                Holding book fairs is a rather new concept in India. But nowadays book fairs are held in all major cities every year. However, the largest and the most important one is organized in Kolkata by the Publishers Booksellers Guild every year. Last year I visited the Kolkata Book Fair which was being held at the Maidan, the usual venue for any fair or exposition organized in the city. There were about five hundred bookstalls and thousands of books were displayed. It was a good opportunity to see a wide range of books on various subjects from all over India and abroad. Book-lovers crowded in the stalls to make their choices and buy books. The main objective of the organizers was not only to sell books but to display them—rare books and books of foreign publication in particular—and reach out to as many people as possible. Moreover, many new books were released during the fair.
                I was tempted to buy many books, but with my very limited budget I could afford only a very few. But I collected catalogues from quite a few publishers to buy books in future. Indeed a book fair spreads the message that books are our best friends and companions that enlarge our vision and make our life more meaningful.
                Please write to me about all your present interests.
                With best regards to you and all of your family,
                                                                                                                                                  Your Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                                   Mrinal Dutta



25. Write a letter to your friend about your role in relief work during a flood.

My dear Suresh,
                I could not write to you so long as I was engaged as a volunteers in the flood-stricken area of Maldah.
                A vast area of Maldah and Dakshin Dinajpur districts were flooded in the last week of September. Hundreds of houses had collapsed and the crops were washed away. Many men and women had taken shelter on the branches of trees and in the school and college buildings. They had lost their cattle, stock of food and everything they had.
                Every where cries of distress reached our ears. We had to carry the water-logged people in boats to a place of safety. We distributed dry food, clothes and medicine among them. The State Government assured all sorts of help to the victims. Welfare organizations like Ramakrishna Mission and Bharat Sevashram Sangha rendered great service to the flood victims. This experience has taught me much more about life than all my years in school ever could.
                                                                                                                                                Your sincerely,

26. Write a letter to the Panchayat Pradhan about repairing a village road.

To
The Panchayat Pradhan,
…………….Panchayat Samiti,
……………. Block.
                                                Sub: Repairing of a village-road
Sir,
         We, the villagers of ……………………….(name of the village) under the …………………(name of the Block) Block beg to draw your kind notice to the following fact.
         The only link road between our village and the highway is in such a deplorable condition for years that we face a lot of hardship everyday. And it becomes worse in every rainy season. In fact, it becomes so muddy and slippery that every passer-by has fear of breaking his limbs at every step and it is naturally more riskyif one has to use the road after dusk. If it is such for the adults, you can well imagine what it is for the old and the children and for patients on their way to a hospital.
         Under such circumstances, we hope that you would be kind enough to take necessary steps for repairing the link-road without any delay to mitigate the hardship of the villagers.
                                                                                                                                              Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                        …………………………….

My dear Kakuli,
                I can not but give you an account of Kaji Najrul Islam’s 115th birth anniversary celebrated in our in our school.
                On 25th May 115th birth anniversary of Kaji Najrul Islam was celebrated in our school with pomp and grandeur. This programme  continued from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The school building was beautifully decorated with red and green flags, leaves, flowers and lights. It looked like a temple. There was a stage in the middle of the school premises. A statue of Kaji Najrul Islam was kept on the stage. The Chief Guest was the District School Inspector. The Secretary of the school garlanded the statue of Kaji Najrul Islam. Then the programme started. The Headmaster of the school delivered lectures on the ideals and thoughts of Kaji Najrul Islam. He also requested all to follow the ideals and thoughts of Kaji Najrul Islam. The District School Inspector described the works and life of Kaji Najrul Islam. Then sweets were distributed among the spectators. Then the programme ended with a Najrul Geeti.
                I hope you are well. At last You take my love.
                                                                                                                                                     Yours ever,

28. Write a letter to your friend about communal disharmony and the problem of Nation Integration in India.

My dear Pranab,
                Indian tradition is the tradition of unity in diversity. We do differ widely in terms of language, region, food habit and social custom. Still we form a single united nation. We are all Indians. But unfortunately the ideal of unity in diversity is at stake now. Violence and separatist activities threaten national integration.
                Some fanatics of a religious community often inspire a sense of impatience among other members of the communities. Sometimes a group of narrow minded people, in order to fulfill their self interests, spread the venom of separatism and misled others. They are often encouraged by some enemy states and helped with training, materials and money.
                What India needs now is strong administrative measure separatist activity. Mass consciousness against the narrow minded leaders of separatism is even more urgent. Illiteracy is also required to be removed, because illiterate people are easily misled. People must also be made aware of the bad effects of disintegration, and the necessity of remaining a united whole.
                                                                                                                                                 Yours sincerely,
                                                                                                                                                        Sumanta
29. Write a letter to your brother about the utility of reading the daily newspaper.

My dear Palash,
                I was indeed relieved to learn that you secured very good marks in your 1st terminal examination. But I was shocked to learn that you secured poor marks in your General Knowledge paper, which according to me, was due to your poor knowledge in current affairs in subject outside your syllabus.
                My dear bother, I should remind you that to shine in life, it is not enough for a student only to know the subjects in your syllabus. You must be well equipped with the General knowledge which a student can obtain enough by reading newspaper daily. Newspaper is a medium which helps us to be acquainted with knowledge both national and international. It is a storehouse of General knowledge about affairs of our country and of the world outside. Side by-side with it a student can enrich his vocabulary which helps him to enhance his writing proficiency. Therefore reading newspapers has two fold utility. We may be well-versed as in global problems. So we can learn how the world is progressing in educational, Political, economical sphere. A student can sharpen his knowledge by reading newspapers daily. So I would advice you to start reading daily newspaper without delay.
                                                                                                                                                       Yours ever,
                                                                                                                                                        Baishakhi


30. The anniversary of a great man(Rabindra Jayanti)

My dear Arati,
                You will be glad to know that we performed the Rabindra Jayanti in our school on Sunday last. A large photo of the Gurudev was placed on a table in the hall. The function began with the chanting of Vedic hymns by our Assistant Headmistress. Then offerings of flowers and garlands accompanied with the burning of incense and blowing of conch were made by few girls. Two of our teachers spoke on the solemnity of the occasion and on the indebtedness of the nation to the Gurudev. Recitations and songs came last in which the performance of some of the girl was simply charming. In her concluding speech the Headmistress likened the Gurudev to an ocean. Quoting Newton she remarked that all we had yet gathered about him were mere pebbles thrown up ashore, while the ocean itself remained unexplored in its vastness and majesty before us.
                Indeed it was a very successful ceremony, enriching both our mind and soul.
                Accept my sincere love.
                                                                                                                                                    Your sincerely,
