Question 1: Write an informal letter to your mother about your daily routine in the hostel. You are Neel/Neha staying in Tagore Hostel, Jiwaji High School, Chandigarh.

Show answer

Answer

Tagore Hostel, Chandigarh
12 July

Dear Mother,

I hope you and Father are well. My daily routine in the hostel is becoming organised. I wake up at six, exercise for half an hour and get ready for classes. After breakfast I attend school and return for lunch. I complete my homework in the evening study period and spend a little time playing badminton with friends. The warden checks our attendance and helps us follow a timetable. At night I read for an hour before sleeping. I miss home, but hostel life is teaching me discipline and self-reliance. Please do not worry; I am eating well and studying sincerely.

Yours lovingly,
Neha
