Dear Didi,
Let me, first of all, congratulate you for purchasing a terrace flat. I am sure, you are shifting to your new flat very soon. I think you should develop a garden in the terrace. It will not only provide soothing greenery to your eyes but also bring peace to your heart.
It is also a good hobby to pass your leisure time fruitfully. I remember reading a news item in the recent newspaper which said that house garbage can be used to cultivate garden. You can compost your kitchen food waste to grow the garden.
It is very easy and requires little time, effort or space. This compost is invaluable for the soil in your potted plants. It is a total natural food for the soil.
Above all, this will help in reducing pollution by making a proper use of the waste. You can plant flower plants as well as vegetables. I am sure you will enjoy growing fresh vegetables for your family and flowers to add a lively and colorful joy to your life. Convey my regards to Jijai and love to kids.
Your loving sister,
Meena.

Above all, this will help in reducing pollution by making proper use of the waste. You can take initiative to create awareness among the people of the society to create their own organic manure at home and to create Best out of West.

Respected Sir,
I’m a student of class 9 A, I’m writing this application on behalf of all students in my class.
I would like to request as our final exams have been completed we would like to go out for One Day Trip to Pratapgadh & Mahabaleshwar
Just last week our second unit test is finished. We wish to have some refreshment & change from daily school routine. I think it will be possible if you arranged a one-day class trip. As I gathered information that Mahablewshwar Pratap gad is a suitable place for one day trip.
There is time for next semester’s commencement so this time would be best. It is a historical fort. it will be a knowledgeable trip for us.
It is my humble request to consider this, I hope you would agree and arrange a trip for us as this is our last time hereafter we all will be preparing for boards and won’t get time for such trips.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Rohan Surve. (Std. 9th/A Roll No. 15)
