Dear Mahdia,

You know now I am student of Cox’sbazar Government Girls High School which is one of the best schools of Cox’sbazar district. It has all facilities.

As we enter the school, there is a playground and a small garden to our left. When we enter the building, the Headmaster and teachers are . These are well furnished. There are thirty four classrooms. Our labs are well equipped. Our library has books almost on all subjects.

Our school, like all schools, has a prescribed uniform. We have to wear light blue cotton frocks, white trousers, shoes and white socks. In our school special attention is paid to behavior, cleanliness and punctuality. The most well behaved, neat and punctual student is awarded a prize at the Annual Day function. Our Headmaster is a strict disciplinarian. If anyone violates the rules, and is not in uniform, or makes mischief, he gets punished. But he is fair and loving. He tries to find out the reason and guides us. Our teachers are also quite strict. They teach us with great care, check our note-books help us when we need but if we are inattentive and don’t work properly, and then we are punished.

I like my school very much and I am proud that I belong to it. I shall never forget it.

Convey my regards to Mother, Papa and Mom and love to Munmun.

With best wishes and love to you.

Affectionately yours, .

Write a letter to your younger brother telling him about the rules of health.

22,Asadgonj

23th February,2013

My dear Abid

I am pained to learn from father’s letter that your health is growing from bad to worse day by day. He has expressed great anxiety about your health. Dad is very much worried for this. I too cannot be happy to hear such news. You must be very careful about your health.

In order to maintain your health you must obey the laws of health. In the first place you must take light food. Never over eat yourself. You must not drink water with your food. Take your evening meal three or four hours before going to bed. Secondly, you must take exercise daily. Thirdly, you must brush your teeth arid take a bath daily. Bad teeth bring on indigestion. Fourthly, you must go to bed early and get up early. Fifthly, you must avoid over work because it is harmful to health. Lastly, you do not take smoking forever. If you observe these rules, your health will keep healthy and sound.

With love and best wishes,

Yours affectionately,

Shamima

27th February,2013

My dear Amina,

Thank you very much for your sweet letter. I was really expecting it every day. Now-a-days the combined family structure is breaking into single family which is increasing rapidly. Old people who are retired from their service they find themselves alone. Their sons and daughter are living distance places under circumstances. No one stay with them to look after the elderly people.

For these helpless people I am making a plan for setting up an old people’s home for taking care them.Older adults need a lot of extra care and attention. Because of their many needs, the home may not be safe for an elderly people. If we are going to be caring for an older people they may survive their rest life in peace.

Care of the elderly is a critical issue that our society currently faces, with more and more of the aging population choosing to stay in their homes instead of moving into nursing facilities. Home care of the elderly involves many different services such as meal preparation, light housekeeping and errand running. Assistance with hygiene and even pet care is often needed. If we want to set up old home to care for one or more elderly people, there are several things to consider.

No more today.With love and best wishes,

Yours affectionately,

Hamida

Dear Nuri,

Hope you are well. How are your classes and study? I have been terribly shocked to know that you are quite indifferent to your study. Nothing can be more deplorable than this. Don’t you see how the good students are respected? You don’t know how much exciting it is to have a good result in the exciting it is to have a good result in the examination. If you are not serious you cannot have good result which is a must to be admitted into a good school. Unless you can have a brilliant result, you will have to suffer throughout your life because with a poor certificate you can neither get higher studies nor a good job.So the ultimate of it is to suffer endlessly. Still you have in hand to come back to seriousness.
Waste no more time. Let me know in a letter that you have been serious.

Your loving brother,

We did not take any cook with us. Our mathematics teacher, Mr. Anwar hossain has a reputation as an expert in cooking. I helped him in cooking. Some were singing, some were cutting jokes and other were playing different types of games. At about with full appetite. After lunch we went out for sight seeing. Sonargaon charmed us most. We started for home at 5pm after faking our tea.
We enjoyed the picnic most.

In your previous letter you asked me to describe of our nearby market. Dear friend, the nearby market which is situated it is only 300 hundred meters from my home. It sits every day morning.

From very early morning the small traders come from distance village to sell their vegetables, fruits and other things. Every kind of things of this market is very fresh. The consumers who come from around the place are very satisfied. Because they can get fresher foods, seasonal foods healthier foods, organic foods, free-range eggs and poultry, handmade cheese, handmade cake etc. Fish market is very interesting place. Fresh fishes of sea and river are sold here. People bargain with fish monger while they buy fishes.

They also very happy that this market is a place where they meet neighbors and here they take tea while chat with others. So it is not only a market but also a place of meeting.

I hope the next time you come here I will get you to our nearby market. Be happy for always.

2. Write a letter to your friend about your aim in life.

Dhaka

January 29th -2013

My dear Asma

I am in receipt of your affectionate letter. It is always a pleasure for me to hear form a dear friend like you, whom I have not met for such a long time. .

You have asked me about my. I have also an aim. Aimless life is certainly a sin. Many people have no definite aim in life. They are like the travelers going ahead without any destination. Such people lead an aimless life and what they do in life, is largely a matter of chance, determined by the circumstances in which they happen to be placed. Aimless people do not achieve anything in life. They just live because they have to live. One should have a definite purpose of life. The people who want success in life, first of all, determine their target. They keep before them their circumstances, their virtuous, their qualities, their talents and their ability to work. They select some definite target of their life and remain successful. .

Different people have different aims in life. Some aim at wealth, some at power, some at fame, some at business and some at education and knowledge. My aim is neither wealth nor fame. I wish to serve by country with best of my talent. I love Bangladesh and I really believe that everybody should think to make it a really great country. I want to become a doctor. It is a noble profession. In medical line, there is much more scope of service. On can serve the patients everywhere in the country. This is my personal choice. My parents have compelled me to select it. I wish to become a very successful doctor in future. So I am studying hard to achieve my target. I have keen interest in medical line, so I do not feel any trouble in studying at all. After obtaining the medical degree, I plan to work in rural areas where there is much shortage of doctors. My father is well off man and I do not have any financial problem. I do not have the lust of money. I will go to the rural areas and shall help the poor people. I would be best sort of service. This will give me extreme satisfaction and that is the aim of my life. .

I know, my profession is very dignified and it will help me to get peace and satisfaction in life. It provides you best chances of service. Sympathy to human being is the sympathy to one owns self. .

With your good wishes and the blessings of God, I am confident of success. .

Rest is as usual. Do let me hear from you more frequently.

Yours sincerely

Aklima

3. Write a letter to your friend about your hobby.

19th January,2013

Dear Nabila,

Thanks for your letter. It has since long time that I did not receive your letter. I was glad to read your letter. It gives me all the pleasure that you have joined a coaching institute of table tennis. Certainly it is good. It will give you a change from reading and refresh you for all the hard work. Above all, it is both entertaining and rewarding, for table tennis is fast gaining popularity. It is the best use of leisure time. .

I have also found new ways to utilise my leisure time. As you know, nature has been a source of pleasure for me. It is really an interesting hobby. It keeps you engaged as well as fit and healthy. When you dig and prepare ground for plants, a lot of physical work is involved. As the plants grow, you find pleasure. Your heart blooms to see a blooming plant. Garden also brings you closer to nature. I have maintained my garden. When you will be in my garden, you cannot stop appreciating me. .

I think you are surprising about my hobby. How it is possible for me to do it as a girl. Mind it, it depends on confidence. It is interesting to know how I chose gardening as my hobby. I happened to visit my uncle who lives in Bandarban. He has a big well-maintained garden. My uncle has devoted lots of his time, energy and money in his garden. I was impressed to see the beauty of nature there. It was at his inspiration that I chose gardening as my hobby. Really, it was the best decision. I enjoy it greatly.

I have lots to discuss. But we will discuss more when we meet. .

Your loving friend,

Mariam

My dear Iqra

I hope you are well. I’m well too. In your last letter you wanted to know about the picnic I had gone recently. Let me give you a description of the picnic.

I along with some of my friends had decided to go on a picnic. According to the decision we went to the picnic on 10 June 2011. We all decided to go to the Shat Gambuj Mosque in Bagerhat. You know it is a place of historical interest. We began to take preparation beforehand. We first hired a microbus to go there. We also took with us other necessary things. The hired microbus took to the place without difficulties. We reached there before the expected time. Reaching there we visited around the Shat Gambuj Mosque. As we took with us cooked food, we did not have to cook. Actually I enjoyed it very much. I was surprised to see the big and beautiful building of the mosque. The mosque is beautifully decorated. The surrounding scenery is also charming. I also played and important role in the picnic. I was in the charge of management. However, after staying till 5 pm we left the picnic spot for our home. And we reached home without trouble. Really Shat Gambuj Mosque is a place of historical interest. I enjoyed the whole picnic. I left the Shat Gambuj Mosque but the memory still haunts my mind. I also recommend you to go there.

Today I have to stop here. Convey my salaam to your parents and love to your younger brother and sister.

Yours ever

My dear father,

My Salam to you and to my mother. Hope, you all are keeping well by the grace of almighty. I am also well. I have not heard any news for a long time. I could not write to you during the long period. But today I could not but write to you to tell you good news.

You will be glad to know that I stood first in the final Model test of our school. You know I could not do very well in the pre- final Model. But after it was over, I began to study vigorously. I got 80% marks only in Mathematics. I thought about it seriously. I found no subject hard to me. Earlier I did not study on any subject very seriously except Mathematics. Before our test examination I studied very well for two months. Every day, I started to study at 6:30 p.m. closing the door of my reading room and continued up to 12:00 (midnight) with a gap of 20 minutes for supper in the middle. Every morning I checked what I learnt the previous night through writing. I just placed the questions on the table and wrote their answers within a fixed time. After that I myself assessed them with the help of the answers prepared earlier by my subject teachers. You can say, I was in deep study while night and I sat for exam in every morning. The practiced helped me so much that I have done quite well in the Model test of our school. I can assure you that if God wishes I can fulfill your expectation in the coming examination. Now I am quite hopeful of having my JSC result with GPA 5.In the final Model Test I got grade point 5 in every subject. And in my most favorite subjects, Mathematics and Science, I got 100 and 97 marks respectively. This is all about how I prepared for the coming JSC examination.

Convey my Salam to mother and love to the younger.

Your affectionate daughter

Dear Mahbuba,

How are you and your family getting on? I hope everyone is fine. I await with eager anticipation to share with you that I spend a family vacation in Kashmir. “You’re going WHERE?” This was my mother’s reaction after telling her about my plan to travel overseas to Beirut, Lebanon back in 2006. In fact, this was the response I got from everyone around me including my friends, and my family.

A friend invited me to visit Kashmir. It was 2012. I was in the dark about the plight. Kashmir was as pretty as I thought it would be. The mountainous views were amazing; however they were hardly visible with umbrellas in winter. My favorite part of the vacation was the beer gardens. One afternoon we enjoyed some Kashmir culture all afternoon.

The next morning was another memorable experience that I will never forget. Although we had only gotten a few hours of sleep, we woke early for coffee. I remember walking out to the balcony for the first time and was completely taken aback. The home is in an area from where overlooked the Zilam river. The sun was just starting to come up. The view of the waters is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.
Well, it’s time to end this letter, and more will follow. Also, I would like to hear from all of you too. Take care!

Your affectionate friend
