Answer

To: kishu@example.com
From: shankar@example.com
Date: 12 July
Subject: Safe use of the internet

Dear Kishu,

The internet is useful for study and communication, but it must be used carefully. Always tell your parents before going online or filling in a form. Never meet an online stranger because people may not be what they claim. Do not share passwords, bank or card details, photographs or your home address. Avoid opening messages from unknown sources. Use strong passwords and keep them private. If anything online makes you uncomfortable, stop using the site and tell a trusted adult immediately.

With love,
Shankar

Question 2: The sanitary conditions of your locality are in a bad shape. Write an e-mail to the sanitary inspector using these hints: no sweepers; heaps of garbage; blocked drainage; careless people; no use of dustbins; regular official visits; fear of diseases.

Show answer

Answer

To: sanitary.inspector@example.com
From: resident@example.com
Date: 12 July
Subject: Poor sanitary conditions in our locality

Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to draw your attention to the poor sanitary conditions in our locality. Heaps of garbage lie on the roads because sweepers do not visit regularly. Blocked drains release a foul smell, and many residents do not use the dustbins. These conditions may spread serious diseases. Kindly arrange immediate cleaning, clear the drains and ensure regular visits by sanitation officials. Public dustbins should also be placed at convenient points. Residents will cooperate if the department provides proper facilities and guidance.

Yours faithfully,
A concerned resident
