Dear sir,

Subject: Need of urgent repair of the classroom assigned to VIII-C

With due respect, I would like to draw your kind attention towards the poor condition of our classroom that is room no. 15 on the first floor of the school building.
Our classroom is in need of urgent repair. There is dampness in the walls and the roof. It not only smells bad but the plaster has also started coming off the walls. This may pose health hazards in the approaching winter. Moreover, students cannot concentrate on their lessons with uncomfortable surroundings.
As it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to continue studying in the classroom, I request you to arrange for our classroom to get repaired at the earliest. Meanwhile, please assign another classroom to us.

Yours sincerely,
Anil
Class VIII-C
Q.2. You are Ashu Verma, living at 30, Sun Enclave, Delhi. This is a residential colony but lately a lot of heavy traffic has been moving through this area. Write a letter to the Chief Engineer, MCD to construct speed breakers in the area.
Answer:    
30 Sun Enclave
New Delhi

19 March 2013

The Chief Engineer
Municipal Corporation of Delhi
New Delhi

Respected Sir,

Subject: Need for the construction of speed breakers in our area

I would like to bring to your notice the difficulty faced by the residents of Sun Enclave due to traffic snarls.
Though it is a residential area, a small factory built nearby has converted the by-lanes into a main road. A lot of heavy traffic has started moving through this area, creating problems for the pedestrians. Recently, two people were injured when they were hit by a fast-moving truck. Children are also suffering because of this as they are housebound.
It is for this reason that I request your department to construct speed breakers in this area as soon as possible. This will definitely put a check on the speed of vehicles, apart from allowing pedestrians to move freely. Your efforts would be highly-appreciated.

Yours truly,
Ashu Verma
