LETTER TO
EDITOR
Though there is a movement like
‘Sarvashiksha Abhiyan’ and enrolling of
underprivileged children in schools, there are
still many children, who do not go to school,
rather have never seen a school. It is indeed
disturbing. You decide to write a letter to the
editor of a newspaper expressing your views
and the steps to be taken. Write the letter in
about 120 words.

Subject: Educating the Underprivileged.


Sir
Through the columns of your
reputed newspaper, I wish to draw
your attention towards the
movement ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’
which aims at providing knowledge
to all children.
Although the act RTE-Right to Education also
ensures education to all children between the age
of six and fourteen yet ground level situation is
somewhat different especially in the
underprivileged class. There are still many children
who do not go to school. They either work as a
domestic help or work in factories, hotels, etc. It is
disturbing to note that our government’s plans are
not bearing any fruits. It is all because of lack of
awareness towards these kinds of movements.
We all need the help of print media as
well as electronic media to spread messages
of awareness to the masses. The
underprivileged children must be made to
realize that they have the right to get
education. So, they must go to school. The
foremost thing is to discourage child-labour
so as to give these children a bright future. I
hope you will pay attention to this noble
cause and publish it in your newspaper.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely

You visited the Water Park in your city as
part of school excursion. You noticed that
the water was not clean and also had a
stale smell which could result in many
waters borne diseases. Write a letter in
about 120 words to the editor of a local
newspaper about your experience on
visiting the place and how the polluted
water would affect the visitors. Include the
precautions that should be taken in the
Water Park. You are Neeta/Nitin.

Subject: Critical Condition of Water Park


Sir
Through the columns of your
reputed newspaper, I would like to
share my experience with one and
all that I had during my recent visit
to the Water Park.
We visited the place as a part of
school exclusion but were shocked to
see its plight. The water in the park
was dirty and a stale smell was
emanating from it. It can result in
many waters borne diseases. There
were very few visitors due to the
degrading condition.
I want to make the authorities
aware concerned that they must
ensure the regular cleaning of water
at proper intervals. Draining can also
be done. To restore its popularity, a
canteen or snack-bar can be
opened. This place can become a
popular holiday spot if taken care of
it properly.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely
