Subject: Using internet

To : kishu23@yahoo.com

Dear Kishu I have heard about your love for internet. I agree that it is a very important and useful source of increasing our knowledge. However, I am afraid. We, the students treat it mostly for fun and entertainment. Not only this, we use it for giving all information about ourselves. When we do so, we are inviting trouble. I would suggest you that it should be used very carefully.Make it a point never to use the internet without informing your parents about what you intend to do. Second, it is very likely that you develop some sort of intimacy with some people while talking to them on the internet. Do not accept their invitation to meet you face to face. Personal information like your password or your bank account number are not the things of public use. Never disclose them. With regards. Yours sincerely Shankar

Subject : How to fight global warming

To : rishi@gmail.com

Dear Rishi In your mail, I found you very anxious about the problem of global warming. I have some ideas about how to fight it.Global warming means the warming of the earth’s atmosphere. We must take steps to stop doing things which contribute to this warming. First, we must at once replace our electric bulbs with CFL because the latter gives out lesser heat. We must use only energy efficient appliances like pressure cooker while cooking. We should use washing machine or dishwasher only when they can be used to their full capacity. We should plant as many trees as possible.The smoke from vehicles causes a lot of warming. Private vehicles should therefore be avoided. Public transport is the best way out.

Hints : Role of trees—life—beauty—shade—fire—prevent soil erosion—prevent landslide—timber—herbs and fruit Answer: Date : 3 March 20xx From : ajay@gmail.com To : editorindianexpress@yahoo.com Subject : Value of trees Dear Sir Trees and plants have a vital role in our lives. In truth, life is possible because the trees are there. They provide us with oxygen which is essential for our life. Besides, they also add to the scenic beauty. The green areas of the city are called its lungs. They control the atmospheric pollution.In summer, the trees give us comfortable shade. In winter, they supply us wood for fire which keeps us warm. During the rains, trees prevent soil erosion. The rain washes the fertilizing layer of the soil downhill. The roots of the trees bind the soil and landslides are prevented. The trees supply us timber which is essential for making houses and its furniture. Birds and even some animals get their food and shelter from the trees. The same trees provide human beings with fruits and herbs. So through your newspaper I ask the people and authorities to stop this indiscriminate cutting of the trees.
