Article Writing Solved Examples With Answers for Class 9 CBSE

Question 1.
With the coining of the rains, there has been an outbreak of malaria in your locality. Write a newspaper article explaining the dangers caused by the outbreak and the preventive measures that need to be undertaken. Write the article in about 100-150 words.
Answer:

Heavy Rains Result in Malaria Outbreak
(your name)

The constant ram for the past few weeks has brought about an epidemic in the city. The coming of the rains marks not only a change in season and temperature but it also signifies the onset of a series of health issues. Public health officials have notified that because of the constant rain, mosquitoes have been found breeding in many parts of the city which has stagnant water and this has resulted in the outbreak of malaria.

Malaria is an infectious disease that is spread by mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, vomiting as well as headaches. Malaria can even lead to deaths. The city already has 27 confirmed cases of malaria victims and many patients have been kept under the provision.

Public health officials have notified the public to keep their surroundings clean and prevent water from stagnating in and around their homes. The public has also been advised to use mosquito repellents and if any one shows symptoms of malaria, they are requested to head straight to the hospital for treatment.

Question 2.
While going through your old school magazine, you found an interesting article by Ravi Jatav about what it would be like 5 years from now. Complete the magazine article by using your own ideas and thoughts. Write the article in about 100-150 words.
Answer:

Five years from now
Ravi Jatav

We won’t be the same five years from now. Maybe you would have lost your Mohawk hairstyle and I, my love for guitar. Maybe five years from now I will have new friends or maybe I’ll still be with my old school friends. I keep thinking of what would happen after school and where will I be five years from now and this same thought is what makes us all anxious.

Being in school for all these years never prepares you for what’s next. Maybe it’s right to be anxious because one has to decide about what career to take up and where to go in life. By five years’ time, we would have made our choices and decisions.

Maybe five years from now I’ll be selected for an internship by a company I’ve always dreamed of working at and I would have never started pursuing this dream if I hadn’t been sleeping and dreaming in class.

Question 3.
You are interested in investing in a new housing complex that promises a green lifestyle. Write an article in 100-150 words on the need for green housing complexes. You may take help from the picture given.

Answer:

Need for Green Housing Complex
by: Anuj

Living in a concrete tower complex, much above ground level does not lead to environmental destruction if certain precautions are taken.

The buildings can be surrounded by ample green spaces like parks, walking tracks, water bodies, yoga, and related mind-body enhancement rooms. Terrace gardens on a few floors, a jogging track on the rooftop, and even tree plantings along boundary walls can help reduce noise pollution and provide oxygen.

Environmental measures of reduction, reuse, and recycle must be practised by adopting rainwater harvesting measures, as well as garbage collection for energy production, and the use of LED lights to serve the lighting needs. Green patches all over the place for people to walk bare-foot can also be considered as that provides as healing touch from mother earth.

Nearness to bus stops would reduce private car use while airy rooms and designed spaces inside homes, would create happy families so that living becomes healthy and energetic.

Question 4.
A rally was organised by the women of ‘Welfare Organisation’. All the women were holding banners such as

• We are not weak
• don’t treat us like this
• reserve seats for women in colleges and parliament
• grant women their due
• stop harassment

Write an article on in 100-150 words on ‘The Sufferings of Indian Women’ for your school magazine. You are Suresh/Shivani of DAV Public School, New Delhi.
Answer:

The Sufferings of Indian Women
by: Suresh

In Indian society, women have customarily been kept subservient to men. The traditional mindset gives preference to sons over daughters. Sex determination and female infanticide are common practices, even among the educated classes. Though women have been emerging as eminent writers, political leaders, High Court and Supreme Court judges, yet their ratio in comparison to men is negligible.

Though the Constitution grants equal rights to women, most of them are ignorant of these rights.

Women are still abused and exploited. Even educated working women are not able to stand up to their rights. The need of the hour is to change the patriarchal mindset. Women must be brought into the social and political mainstream for their economic, social and political development. The gap between legal rights and the attitude of society needs to be bridged. Women of India need to be empowered for a strong and healthy society.

Question 5.
Write a paragraph on each of the following: Electronic Waste and Environmental Pollution
Answer:
Electronic waste and Environmental Pollution!

Electronic waste or E-waste means old or discarded appliances using electricity. It may include computers, cell phones, refrigerators, etc. that have been disposed of. The processing of electronic waste in developing countries causes serious health and pollution problems.

Fast technology change, low initial cost and usage of old items have resulted in continuous growth of electronic waste around the world. Expensive electronics are extremely difficult and expensive to recycle. Electronic waste includes toxic substances that can prove hazardous if not processed properly. Informal processing of it can lead to serious effects on human health and environmental pollution.

E-waste threatens the future technology. But reusing old appliances is also not a choice since not all old computers can be used by a second consumer. Therefore, recycling and remanufacturing are the current solution to control E-waste. Proper disposal of e-waste is also mandatory to address the issue of environmental pollution.

Question 6.
You are Mariam/Mayur. You see the following news item in a daily. Write an article in 100-150 words expressing your views on how to make the complex attractive for night tourism.
Tall Makeover for Qutab
In another month, the Qutab Minar complex will be opened to night tourism. Two months from then, a ? 50-lakh plan will transform the area.
Answer:

Tall Makeover for Qutab Minar
by: Mariam

The opening of Qutab Minar to night visitors is a popular and an imaginative move. This project to transform the complex, needs to be backed by a comprehensive plan of development.

For a start, the parking lot should be spruced to create a satisfactory green cover around the complex. Flood-lit by night, it would create an illusion of a fairyland.

Likewise, the existing green belt along the road, can be converted into a convenient parking lot. The changeover will look more serene.

Another place that needs to be made convenience-oriented, is the ticket counter. Currently, there is no other utility around it. Perhaps a bookstore and a cafeteria would be a useful addition. With these amenities, visitors will have no regrets. With such facilities, the tourism will also get a boost and the Qutab Minar that stands tall as the tallest building of Delhi today will still stand taller!

Question 7.
Gagan sees the following scene as he looks out of his bedroom window. He is alarmed at the way his city has changed in the past five years. He writes an article for his city newspaper expressing his alarm and pain at the present situation and cautioning people against environmental pollution. Write the article in 100-150 words.

Answer:
Smoking chimneys, burning tree leaves and wastes, smoke-spewing vehicles — the city almost dying. Year after year, the situation is deteriorating and if nothing is done against these hazards, conditions will worsen further.

Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy such as heat, light etc. The emergence of great factories and consumption of coal gas give rise to unprecedented are pollution.

People of the city are also to be blamed for inviting this situation upon themselves. People living in the vicinity, should form carpools to reduce traffic pollution.

People should form action committees and get closed factories that release poisonous gases as well as chemicals into the water. Residents should launch afforestation drives to make the city green. It is a good sign that the awareness to pollution has already given rise to the “Save Our Environment Movement”.

Question 8.
In 2010, the United Nations declared Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s birthday (15th October) as World Students’ Day. Write an article on the importance of the youth/young students in the making of a New India. (120-150 words)
Answer:

Importance of the Youth/Young students in the making of a new India
by: ABC

Youth are the building blocks of the society. They are the miraculous power of any country and current hope of a mankind. They are a strong base that is required to form a new and better India. Youths have energy, new motives with wide perspective along with the capability to bring a wave of change in the silent sea. No one can match with the level and aura that young students can get in to form a New India.

It’s high time all these oldies took a backseat and allow young ones to come into the power. We have new ideologies and constructive views with a better vision. If we desire for success, prosperity, peace and safety to be accomplished, active participation of youth is a must. They are the one who can contribute their best by giving their best. Given the opportunity, they can work wonders.

All the issues can be easily overcome provided the entire youth power and resources are utilized under the guidance of dedicated leaders. We, youth, are invincible. Try us and we will conquer the world with integrity.

Question 9.
Your neighbour’s daughter has been selected as Miss India this time. The local daily has asked you to file an article for the Neighbourhood Times on the homecoming of Miss India. Write the article in 100-150 words.
Answer:

A Grand Welcome for Miss India
by: Varun

With the news of neighbour’s daughter’s selection as Miss India, welcome preparations had lasted throughout the night. The elders received her with flowers and the customary ritual, as she posed for photographs in her bejewelled Miss India crown and sash. It was a moment of pride not only for our neighbours but for the entire city. Speeches that were given in her honour talked of her hard work, will power and determination. She had won the hearts of billions across the nation and had now become a source of inspiration for many a teenager.

Flashlights and mobiles clicked scores of pictures in company with awestruck girls eager for pointers for the next contest. The boys, meanwhile, gave their Didi a pillion ride on their motorbikes to the nearest park, where a band played ‘Congratulations and Celebrations’ as they pushed her high up on a swing, drowning her cries for help with good-humoured laughter all around.

Question 10.
This year during the coming summer vacations your parents have decided to skip the annual family holiday. To spend your time usefully, you decide to take up gardening as a hobby. Write an article in 100-150 words on what you perceive are the benefits of taking up such a hobby.
Answer:

Benefits of Gardening as a hobby
by: Rama

On seeing the bare patch below our ground-floor flat becoming a dump yard for the community, I felt I had the right opportunity awaiting for me to do gardening there during my annual holiday.

Buying myself a simple set of tools, I asked the local park gardener to help me with planting a neem tree which sprouted new leaves within a week.

A positive effect of this gardening exercise is that I have begun to rise early and be outdoors tending and watering the patch, which is now grassed and trimmed with a small hedge.

It conceived in me a sense of purpose and confidence and it helped me make new friends, as pedestrians and passersby invariably stop to compliment my efforts and exchange a friendly chat.

Question 11.
In groups of four, discuss in favour of or against the topic:
“New technology is common, New thinking is rare.”
Answer:

New Technology is Common, New Thinking is Rare
by: Rama

I fully agree with the view that ‘new technology is common but new thinking is rare. In today’s technological era, new technologies have indeed made the life easier but they come with their own side effects. For example, smart phones have made most of the work easier to do but it has his disadvantages too. People don’t have the logical thinking to reap maximum benefits out of it but are using it without thinking of its negative effects.

We must understand that technology is more than just entertainment. It affects the way we think, learn, and interact; and to materialize this thought we must think innovatively as to how to use the technology for our benefit only not to harm us. We must find some innovative ways to deal with challenges of life rather than developing newer devices, leading to more problems.

Question 12.
As part of your holiday project, you were asked to carry out a survey of a slum locality near your residence. You gathered the following information and created an analysis based on your findings. Using the information given below, write an article in 100-150 words on ‘Slum Woes’.

Answer:

Slum Woes
by: Nidhi

The Ujaala-Umeed Colony, adjacent to the market, belies its name. It is a cluster of raw leather, plastic sheets and tin sheds that announces its presence with foul smell and civic apathy.

The first impression is of a constricted space teeming with people. Engaging with them one finds that 60% residents are migrants and 12% families are related by kinship or through village ties. They prefer living here as incomes are low, making room renting a distant dream. The main bread earners work in the nearby factories, construction sites (about 8%) or on road repair work (30%) and commute to the workplace by foot.

Battling disease, water shortage (15%), poor sewerage with 20% open drains and ill-lit road is their daily routine. With indifferent local representatives, these people seem like a forgotten race.

Question 13.
The debating society is preparing for a prestigious inter-school debate competition. As student-in-charge of the debating society, write an article in 100—150 words on the general guidelines that must be followed when speaking on the stage.
Answer:

Presentation Perfect
by: Gita

Symptoms like heart pounding, knees buckling and throats running dry, universally affect students speaking on stage. These problems can he allayed with a few remedial tips.

Besides rehearsing the written matter, familiarity with the equipment is essential. The mike should be tested before you start speaking, and the lap top keyed on, to ensure that the projections are symmetrical, and the right keys pressed to get the image on screen.

The pace of speaking must be rehearsed beforehand, with contents neither raced through, nor interrupted with dramatic questioning. Also, anticipating a few questions and preparing their answers, ensures that you do not fumble during the rebuttal round. A very important point to remember is to constantly maintain an eye-contact with the audience.

Then confidently walk to the stage with a spring in your step. The rest will follow smoothly.

Question 14.
You have experienced a very hot summer this year. Taking ideas from the hints given, write an article in 100-150 words for your school magazine on ‘Why is it Warmer in the Cities and What can be done to Improve the Environment in the Cities’. Give a suitable heading to your article.

• buildings are a city’s wind brakes
• heat from the streets/vehicles
• exhausts and fumes from factories/homes/cars, etc.
  

Answer:

City Environment
by: Vishwesh

City temperatures remain high for a number of reasons. The concentration of tall buildings disrupts the airflow while a Greenhouse Effect is created by the emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases. The vehicular exhausts, gases and fumes that hang over the city trap the heat in. Concrete buildings and roads absorb heat and release it at night. Smoke from factories, homes, vehicles, etc. also makes the atmosphere warm.

Since hot air is not able to rise, the temperature in the city soars high. In recent years, all possible efforts have been made to restore the normal environment in the cities. Conversion to CNG and phasing out of polluting vehicles are steps taken to sustain the congenial environment in the cities. Planting more trees, holding environmental awareness campaigns, barring the heavy vehicles such as trucks from entering the city are also some more measures taken up by the government to help the city environment.

Question 15.
More and more people are now used to carrying mobile phones to their workplaces. However, the use of mobile phones can be dangerous at times. Write an article in 100-150 words on ‘Mobile Culture — The Ethics’. Take hints from the information given.
Don’t use mobiles…

• while driving
• at petrol pumps
• inside an aircraft
• when in ICU
• if you are near a heart patient or someone who has a pacemaker

Answer:

Mobile Culture — The Ethics
by: Shailender

Like other gifts of science, the mobile phone is being misused. It has become a toy in the hands of people—a means to display their status.

One needs to understand that a mobile phone is essentially an object of utility or a necessity and not a plaything. Students ought not to carry the mobile phone in the classroom as it is a distraction. While driving, one needs to keep it switched off as it can make the driver lose his or her concentration. At public places, it should be kept on the vibration mode and one must be brief while talking.

Its overuse can be hazardous to health. There have been numerous cases of young deaths where the boys and girls have been walking on railway tracks with headphones on resulting in their deaths when not listening to the sounds of the approaching trains. One needs to clearly draw a line between the use and misuse of mobile phones.

Question 16.
As President of the Tagore Society at school, you learned that this year marks the 90th anniversary of Tagore’s visit to Argentina. You have been invited by the Argentine Embassy to send in an article in 100-150 words on the topic for publication in the embassy newsletter.
Answer:

Tagore in Argentina
by Preet Singh

It was the 90th anniversary of Tagore’s visit to Argentina. Argentina Embassy in India was celebrating the anniversary to make the occasion. I would like to recall that ‘Gitanjali’ had just won the Nobel Prize, Tagore’s name was known in literary circles and one of his fans, Victoria Ocampo, immediately offered to house him at her villa. But Victoria’s parents were unwilling to pay for Tagore’s accommodation. Ultimately, Victoria sold her precious pearl necklace to buy a charming villa by the river Plate in the suburb of San Isidro.

During the two-month stay, Victoria discovered the essence of Tagore’s poetry and its connection to the mysterious human spirit in the mankind. Thus, Tagore got highly applauded in Argentina.

Question 17.
There is a widespread craze for junk food among the youth. They are consuming junk food at an alarming rate which harms their health. Based on the clues given below, write an article in 100-150 words for your school magazine highlighting the harmful effects of junk food and how to avoid it.

• Unhealthy & unhygienic
• Cause of obesity & diseases
• Popular as cheap & tasty
• lacks in essential nutrients [CBSE 2014]

Answer:

Harmful Effects of Junk Food
by: Mithilesh

It is found that the youth today are crazy to consume junk foot at random. They hardly bother to think that junk food would take a toll on their health. In fact, they should understand that junk food like pizza, burger, chowmein, etc. are not healthy food, in spite of being cheap, tasty, and popular. According to many case studies, junk food consumers suffer from obesity and heart diseases. So, healthy eating habits should be developed among the youth to enjoy good health.

The parents have a great role to play in this case Unfortunately, they also encourage children to have junk food as it is convenient and popular. It is important to know how such food items lack in essential nutrients. If junk food is replaced by a healthy diet with rich nutrients, the youth can be healthy physically and mentally and can prove the old adage right that “A sound body has a sound mind”.

Dear Sir
Subject: Nuisance caused by loudspeakers in the city during examination days
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the nuisance caused by the indiscriminate use of loudspeakers at religious places, wedding processions, market places and jagrans during the examination days. Students are unable to concentrate on the heavy backlog of revision work during these days. The result is that they fare badly in the examinations and this leads to frustration and unhappiness among students. Their parents also suffer due to it. It is high time the authorities concerned take a serious note of this nuisance and initiate remedial measures to check the problem. Use of loudspeakers should be totally banned irrespective of the place where these are used. It is not only a cause of nuisance but also adds to the noise pollution.

Yours faithfully
Prabhu Kumar

Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the danger old people living alone are facing. Most of the senior citizens are people who are living alone with just a domestic help. Their children are adults and have moved out. The domestic helps hired by these aged people often take advantage of their helplessness. They are burgled, poisoned or beaten to death. It is indeed a sad plight for our senior citizens.

It is my humble request to the authorities concerned to issue a certificate of verification of the domestic help and ask their neighbours to set up a neighbourhood watch where everyone can look out for the safety of each other especially the older people. I hope my concern will reach the ears of the concerned authorities through your newspaper.

Subject: Sale of alcohol to underage people
I would like to draw the kind attention of all the authorities concerned towards the above–mentioned problem through the columns of your esteemed daily. It has been my observation for quite some time now that many young people who are consuming alcohol are still in teens and some are around twenty. The government vending shops located in almost every residential colony market, do not even ask for identification or age proof.

If ever they do so, they are easily bribed by a few hundred rupees. This sale of liquor to under–aged people leads to many of the problems our country is facing today. Youths who drink together do not know when to stop or how much to consume and this often leads to intoxication, uncontrollable behaviour, emotional problems, etc. I shall be grateful if this letter is given an appropriate space in your newspaper.

I would bring to light the woes caused by illegal parking of buses and trucks in residential colonies. These vehicles are a constant cause of trouble to the residents living in these localities. I have noticed buses and trucks parked illegally outside the gate of our residential building. In an emergency or even during normal working hours, one has to hunt down the drivers of these vehicles. Children hardly have any space to play outdoor games in their colonies because of the cramped space. I appeal to the authorities to take remedial action regarding this serious problem. Buses should be parked in a bus depot, and trucks should have their own space to park. Residential colonies and the parking space made available to them are meant only for the people who live there.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities the chaos created in front of the D C Arya Public School, with the coming up of an unauthorised : transport stand for feeder buses of the metro station. Traffic jams are created by stationary vehicles encroaching on the main road, slowing traffic flow and requiring police intervention to be regulated. Children face the hazard of accidents while exiting the school premises and the footpath in front of the school has been taken over by squatters, flower vendors and hawkers.

All this not only hinders the convenience of the students as well as the entire school but also creates a noise in the promises where silence is utterly required. Repeated appeals to the civic authorities have yielded no results. I therefore, request you to publish my letter and help alert the general public to the hardships caused by the unauthorized stand.

Through this letter, I bring to the kind notice of the authorities concerned the dilapidated condition of roads in our locality. It is really difficult to commute on these roads. The heavy rains have worsened the problem of waterlogging in our streets and roads, which make it difficult for both pedestrians and vehicles to move about in the locality. In fact, the school children find it extremely difficult to walk to their school without stepping on a puddle of water. Owing to stagnated water, there is a danger of epidemics like malaria and dengue. The authorities concerned are requested through the columns of your esteemed paper to take adequate steps to clear the waterlogging and provide succour to the residents of Shakarpur.

You will appreciate the fact that today without basic knowledge of computers, a person is half educated. To be prepared for a normal life one needs to have the basic knowledge of a computer.

Sir
Subject: Disturbance created by wedding celebration
I would like to draw the kind attention of the authorities concerned towards the above mentioned problem through the columns of your esteemed newspaper. On May 26, a wedding celebration created mayhem in our society. The wedding procession arrived late and hence the celebration went late into the night. The din created by the loudspeakers and the band party hired for the event disturbed the young and the old alike. The students preparing for their boards couldn’t carry on their studies peacefully and the sleep of the elderly, the sickly and the infants was ruined. The merry–making of one family has no right to destroy the peace of the other families.

I shall be highly grateful to you if my letter gets an appropriate space in your newspaper.

Yours faithfully
Namita/ Naveen

Dear Sir
Subject: Growing incidence of bullying in schools
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I bring to the notice of your readers the growing incidence of bullying in public schools. Senior students frequently snatch tiffins, make juniors pay for their treats at the canteen and deny them access to games equipment during the school break.

Juniors live under constant threat of being waylaid and teased or heckled by seniors. Such undesirable incidents are leading to psychological problems in schools. The lack of proper counselling has led youngsters to feel threatened at school. Despite appeals by the school authorities to the parents concerned of the bullying children, the problem continues. Through your newspaper I therefore, appeal to the authorities concerned to enforce regulatory measures to curb this growing menace in schools.

Yours faithfully

Subject: Celebrations over Cricket World Cup victory
Everyone in this country, especially this town is beyond joy at India winning the World Cup Cricket. The night we won, was a night of grand festivities. Crackers were burst everywhere. Sweets were being distributed. Everyone in the town came out and danced in the streets. It was pure joy among all the people, young and old. The celebrations went on till the wee hours. Many people flocked to the temple to thank the almighty for helping India win.

Celebrations aren’t over yet as people are still brimming with joy. It’s a matter of pride for each Indian as defeating a number of countries and winning the World Cup is a no mean achievement by any standards. Through this letter I want to share with millions of people all over India the joy of winning the cup.

Subject: Chain snatching by young boys
I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the increasing incidences of chain snatching in our area. The area has become quite unsafe. A gang of miscreants is very active in the area. These young boys follow women wearing gold jewellery on their bikes.

Whenever they see the opportunity they snatch away the chains and speed off on their bikes. Though several police complaints have been lodged, yet the criminals haven’t been caught. There is a need of a permanent PCR or police post. A beat constable can be posted in shift duties and the vigilance can be enhanced at the strategic points. It is important that the criminals are caught and punished. This will act as a deterrent to other criminals also.

You are requested to publish this letter and bring my complaint to the notice of the authorities concerned so that people may get some solace.

Yours faithfully

Subject: Unpleasant condition of parks
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my concern at the desolate status of the public park in our area. The park is unkempt and has no security posted at the gates. No wonder the park which should have been a place of scenic beauty, for young children to frolic about and for adults to take their walks on, is home to stray dogs, cats and other animals. It is also the haunt of the vagrants of the society who indulge in drinking and smoking in an area that is primarily meant for recreation. The civic authorities need to make an effort to restore the public park its beauty and its usefulness to the public.

You are requested to give my letter an appropriate space in your paper, so that my voice reaches the authorities concerned and some action is taken.

Yours faithfully

Letter of Complaint Class 10 CBSE Format, Topics, Examples, Samples PDF

Letter Writing (Formal Letters)

1. Write as you speak. Your letter should be in the nature of a conversation.
2. Adopt a familiar style for those who are intimate, but write in a formal tone to the strangers.
3. Use a suitable beginning before you start with the actual letter.
4. Write what you have to say –– clearly, briefly and precisely.
5. Be courteous and tactful. Avoid offending.
6. Avoid boring remarks. Better do away with hackneyed phrases.
7. Never fail to date your letter.
8. Write in a simple clear and colloquial language. The style of a letter depends on the nature of its contents. Private letters should be in the conversational style; business letters, short, concise and to the point; and official letters, formal and dignified.
9. Correct spellings are equally desirable even in the most familiar forms of correspondence. A letter should be legible, straightforward and grammatically correct.
10. Avoid bad punctuation which is often the cause of obscurity.

Parts of a Letter

A letter consists of the following parts:

1. Sender’s Name and Address. It includes the writer’s address. It is written at the top on the left hand corner of the page. If the address consists of several parts, each part is given a separate line as follows:
125, Punjabi Basti
Anand Parvat
New Delhi

2. Date. While writing the date, note that the day is written in figures, month in words and year in full figures. The year is preceded by a comma, when the date is written before it. The date should be written as follows:

3. Receiver’s Address/The Inside Address. The official letters are not addressed to the individual but to his/her official capacity; as,
The Editor
The Times of India
Bahadurshah Zafar Marg
New Delhi–1100XX

4. Subject. It is a must in official letters. It must be as brief as possible, maximum three or four words. It must be the pivot on the body of the letter.

5. Salutation. It is the complimentary little greetings to the person to whom the letter is addressed. It is a formal way of beginning a letter. The form of greeting or salutation depends on the relation and degree of intimacy between the writer and the addressee in personal letters. But in official letters ‘Dear Sir’ or ‘Dear Madam’is used mostly.

Note. If the person, who will read the letter, is known to you, you can address him by name: as
Dear Mr. Gupta
The appropriate title, Mr, Mrs, or Miss, is to be placed before the name.

Forms of Salutation

6. Body of the Letter. This is the main part of the letter. It consists of three parts: an introduction which gives the reason for the letter, the message which includes the main information and a conclusion, which is always expressed politely or gives suggestions about the problems expressed. It should be well arranged and divided suitably into separate paragraphs unless it is very short. Be brief, courteous and to the point. It should be clear and brief because an official/a businessman has no time to attend to unnecessary details.

7. The Subscription (or the complimentary close). The most common form in business letters is ‘Yours faithfully’. If you have used a personal name in the salutation, the subscription should be ‘Yours sincerely’. In case of personal letters, the most common form is ‘Yours affectionately.’

8. Signature. The formal letters require your full signature. Below the signature, the name of the person and the position are mentioned. In personal letters write the name by which you are known among your relatives and friends. Note. Do not use any punctuation mark after the signature.

9. Outside Address. This is written on the envelope or the postcard. It should be written neatly, legibly and spaced carefully. If you write the pin code, you can be sure of your letter reaching the addressee without delay.

Subject: Insanitary conditions in the colony

I have been a resident of Ankur Enclave for the past eleven years. I would like to bring to your notice the insanitary conditions in our colony. Rubbish and garbage lie in heaps. Lack of drainage system raises a persistent foul smell in the area.

During rainy season water stagnates in pits on the street which makes the whole condition even worse. These become the breeding ground for mosquitoes, which expose the residents to multiple diseases like dengue, malaria, etc. Our colony has become an unhealthy and disease–prone area. Every day, someone or the other is succumbing to deadly diseases. Some of the families have also shifted lock, stock, and barrel to better localities.

You are requested to take an immediate remedial action to set things right.

Subject: Bullying of a class X student

With due respect, I bring to your notice that my brother, Ashutosh Roy, of class XD, has been staying in dormitory No. 20 for the last 6 months. He has been facing a lot of bullying because of being a ‘new bee’ in the hostel. As a result, he is going through a lot of stress. He passes sleepless nights and sometimes even takes sleeping tablets. I regret to say that he no longer wants to study in your prestigious institution. He has even been threatened of serious consequences by these bullies if he complains.

I am concerned about my brother’s life. I request you to take immediate remedial action before the things get out of hand and force me to withdraw my brother which might bring a bad name to your school.

Dear Sir/Madam
Subject: Increase in the number of road accidents
I would like to draw your attention to the increase in the number of road accidents in our locality.. Reckless and drunken driving by youngsters is the primary cause of such accidents. They are not scared of putting their lives at risk. They ignore the traffic rules because they know that their parents would help them get away with the law. Many of the drivers continue talking on their mobiles throwing caution to the winds, which certainly causes distraction and leads to fatal accidents sometimes.

Another cause of these accidents is rash driving by the truck drivers at night. The truck drivers are mostly dead drunk and do not care a bit about the traffic rules.

I will be grateful if you kindly look into the matter and take stern remedial action.

Through this letter I would like to draw your attention to the miserable condition of the central park in C Block area. Once, a model park, it now lies in a state of utter neglect. It has become a favourite spot for anti–social elements and a permanent resting place for stray animals. There is no greenery left in the park. People use this park to gamble and take drugs. There is no place left for children to play and old people to take a walk. The Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) has left no stone unturned to do their bit in improving the condition of the park but all in vain.

These activities are causing a lot of problems to the residents and spoiling the atmosphere of the locality. I request you to take immediate remedial action to restore the beauty of the park.

Not a day passes when there are no physical fights, use of abusive language or occurrence of untoward incidents. The cars could be towed away from the unauthorised lot and heavily fined. A stern action on your part would truly be appreciated. You are, therefore, requested to direct the local police to monitor the parking in the area and do the needful.

Most of the monuments are in a pitiable state. There is no proper maintenance of these monuments. These have not been cleaned properly for years and there are heaps of garbage lying here and there. People spit on the walls and relieve themselves unchecked. Graffiti is seen everywhere bringing to light the scant regard people have for the historical monuments of their country.

These monuments are part and parcel of our cultural heritage and need to be preserved and taken care of. Proper maintenance of these monuments should be our prime concern. I hope speedy remedial action will be taken to preserve these monuments.

I regret to inform you that it has developed a technical snag in the first month itself. Its water dispenser is not working properly. The dryer and water outlet are choked and sometimes it gives electric shock too. It’s a matter of grave concern that a brand new machine should develop so many defects in the first month of its purchase.

It is not only disappointing but shocking too as the electric shocks could put the user’s life at risk. Since it is still under warranty, you are, therefore, requested to replace it at the earliest. I sincerely hope that such cases are few and far between and do not get repeated.

Dear Sir
Subject: Inadequate bus services in Raj Nagar area
I would like to draw your attention to the irregular bus service in our area. The buses never come on time and commuters experience a lot of inconvenience while waiting at the bus stop for hours. The matter gets compounded when the drivers and conductors do not stop the bus at the bus stop or speed away before one gets in or out of it. Many a time it leads to serious injuries to commuters. Sometimes we see a number of buses plying on the same route while as others there are no buses for hours.

I, therefore request you to look into matter and take urgent remedial action. More buses should be put on the road. The useless ones should be taken off to ensure speedy and regular trouble–free traffic.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully
