28, Tulsi Apartments

Krishnapuri, Prayagraj

20th February, 2023

Dear Rashi

Dear ABC,
I hope that this letter finds you in the best of your health and spirit. I notice that It has been two weeks since you came to school. I pray to God to recover soon you. You have asked me many times how the interschool drama competition went and I am very glad to tell you just that.
The competition was held on 15th of February. The day was mild with a slight chill and cloudy and it was wonderful to see the school bustling with action. All the students were in great excitement and everyone including the teachers and official staff was hurrying to get their students dressed for the drama.

We waited in anticipation and soon the auditorium was filled with everyone settled. The head of organization started with the lighting of the traditional lamp and welcome address by the Principal. There were twelve schools/collage that participated in the competition, each one went on for about 15-20 minutes.

It was a magical evening. I missed you a lot and I am sure you would have enjoyed it too. Get well soon and come to school.
Yours lovingly,
XYZ

(ii) Break time at your school is only for a duration of fifteen minutes. Write a letter to your Principal requesting for an extension in the break-time from fifteen minutes to half an hour. Give reasons for your request and explain in what way an extended break would make a difference to you as a student.

Solution

To,

The Principal,

St Anthony School,

Allahabad

February 21, 2023

Subject:  Extending break duration to half an hour in place of 15 minutes.

Respected sir,

I want to bring notice to your kind attention that the fifteen minutes time allotted for the recess is not accurate for the students. We are not able to finish our tiffin’s (lunch) properly in the 15th minute duration time. When the bell for the recess rings, it takes time for us to close our bags. Sometimes it happens that the teacher is in the middle of a topic, so he takes some extra time before leaving us. Besides this, we have to go to the washroom which takes some more time.

We are also not able to freshen up ourselves properly by spending some time playing and talking to our friends. Therefore, I request you to extend the break-time duration from fifteen minutes to half an hour.
I shall be highly grateful if you will be take necessary action at my request .

Yours sincerely,
XYZ
