4. Nowadays people are suffering from perishing heat. Rains are meagre, no greenery is found in most of the areas. You feel that we have to act immediately and do SQmething to plant a large number of trees everywhere.
\nWrite a letter to your friend Srinivas explaining him the importance of planting trees and the advantages of plants.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Tenali.
\n20.07.20xx.<\/p>\n

Dear Srinivas,
\nl am fine and I hope the same with you. In this letter I would like to share my views on the importance of planting trees and the advantages of plants.<\/p>\n

We are all aware that trees are the most useful things in the world. Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. They give us fruit to eat and firewood to burn. We build houses and make furniture with the wood of the trees. They help us get rain. Some trees give us medicines.<\/p>\n

But the man is cutting down trees indiscriminately and causing disturbance in the ecological balance. As a result, temperatures are mounting up. Nowadays people are suffering from perishing heat. Rains are meagre, no greenery is found in most of the areas. If there were no trees, there would be no life on earth.<\/p>\n

It is our responsibility to save trees. We should act immediately and plant a large number of trees in our surroundings. The government should pay full attention on tree plantation. Voluntary organisations also should take active part in it.<\/p>\n

Recently our school organised a tree plantation week. All the students of our school participated in it and made it grand success.<\/p>\n

I hope you agree with my views. Convey my regards to your parents and wishes to sister.<\/p>\n

Awaiting your reply,<\/p>\n

Yours lovingly,

5. Write a letter to the eidtor of a newspaper about the bad condition of road and the uncleanliness in your locality.
\nAnswer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Old Guntur,
\nGuntur.
\n20th September, 20xx.<\/p>\n

To
\nThe Editor,
\nThe Hindu,
\nVijayawada.
\nSir,
\nI have been a sincere reader of your esteemed daily for the last five years. Through the columns of your daily, I would like to draw the attention of the public as well as concerned authorities towards the bad condition of roads and the uncleanliness in our locality.<\/p>\n

I am a resident of Old Guntur, Guntur. We are suffering a lot due to the negligence of the Municipal workers. There are large pits in roads. Some roads have pot-holes and ditches. There is an increase in the number of accidents in our locality due to these bad road conditions. Water gets stagnated. During the monsoon-season, water gets clogged in the road pits. Recently, a girl has fallen into a ditch. Thank God, a cyclist has seen it and saved her. The sweepers are not regular to their duties. Once in a week, they come in a casual way. There are piles of garbage at every corner emitting foul smell. These corners attract flies and mosquitoes in large number. If the same state of affairs continues, I am afraid that some diseases may spread. All these things lead to health hazard. Another problem is that the street lights are not functioning properly. It also leads to the accidents.<\/p>\n

I have already lodged complaints with the officials several times but in vain. Hence I request the concerned authorities to take necessary steps in this regard.<\/p>\n

Yours truly,
\nxxxx<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
