Dear Friend,

Greetings! Hope you are well. I am enjoying my vacation here in Ahmedabad. I have a very exciting news to share with you.

We both know that books are the ultimate sources of knowledge and wisdom. Books make our lives peaceful and save us from unnecessary stupidity of life in general. We both have read many books. But I have a news which will make you so happy. On next Saturday, a 5 days educational book fair is organized in the city. There will be more than 50 book stores in it. I heartily invite you to come. We will spend much time exploring various books. It will be an enriching experience for us.

Please reply positively earliest!

Respected and dear parents,

I hope you both are well there. How is everyone there? It must be beautiful there in this rainy season. I am all fine here in my hostel.

In fact, I wanted to share with you two how my new hostel is. Well, I have got a room on first floor. I have two roommates who have become very good friends in short time. We wake up 7 am and have tea and breakfast together. Then we spend time in reading or playing on the ground in front of hostel. We go to college after having early lunch. I like my college as well. At evening we again have tea together and play cricket. It is always a delight to talk with various people on various topics. Food in the hostel is not as good as mummy’s cooking, but I will manage.

I have found another home in the hostel, which often makes me miss you and my little sister. I will surely come in Diwali vacation. Be happy!

Your grateful daughter/son,

Uncle has been a constant support and source of inspiration to me and others of my age. We have always admired him and looked forward to his advices regarding career and life in general. He was a mentor. His sudden death has made our hearts cry. We will always remember him in our memories.

Please accept our sympathies and do not hesitate asking for any help. May his soul rest in peace!

Dear Friend,

Hello! I hope you must be well there. I am also spending my vacation here at home.

As we both have vacation and holy occasion of janmashtmi is coming, I think it would be nice if we spend the time together at my home. As you have expressed your curiosity regarding my town Junagadh time to time, I think this season is the best chance to see it in its glorifying beauty. We will have fun. I will take you to various places where natural beauty will enchant you. My mother will cook delicious dishes for us. You will be happy to meet my family. I am looking forward to your visit.

Dear Friend,

How are you, my friend? I am sure you must be feeling relax and refreshed from the vacation and eager to start your new semester at college. I received your letter. I was delighted to see that you have spent your vacation in Kerala.

As for my vacation, I had decided not to go on a tour as I had to visit many relatives. So, I went to various places, renewing the bonds with my relatives. I enjoyed it so much that even much travelling didn’t bother me. I also hosted a party for my parents’ thirtieth marriage anniversary. Vacation was long enough so I could start some books, and even completed most of them! As you know I like watching television so much, I spent long afternoons watching serials, knowledge shows and even culinary shows. It was very entertaining as well as educative. Now, my college here will start next Monday. As I have started missing my college I am eagerly waiting for it.

So, that was my vacation.

Your best friend,

Dear Friend,

It has been many days since I had received a letter from you. Today, I have completed one year at my job and I still cannot believe that we are no longer in the school.

I still believe our was the best school and you are my best friend. I often remember school times. We had morning school, which always made me late. Despite being ready you used to wait for me at the main road. We would race our bicycles to school to reach before prayer starts, it was fun. Our teachers were also caring and loving. We used to study a lot but always waited for that sports session which came only once a week. Do you remember how we had won the town championship! I really miss school days. Why don’t we go there someday and meet our teachers? What do you say?
