Dear Armaan,
'hope you are hale and hearty!
am so excited to write this letter to you. | have
something special to disclose, and it is that |
have bought a refurbished tablet for you, as
a little gift from my end. | remember our last
phone conversation during which, you told me
that because you don't have a tablet or laptop,
you have to take all your online classes on
your father’s phone which is troubling your
studies, as uncle's phone is always busy with
his own office work,
The tablet has a big display and 4500 mAh
battery which will last for more than 8 hours,
even if used regularly. You can take your online
classes on time, and spend as much as timeyou need doing research over the tablet. The
tablet is preloaded with other study material
Pps to save your time. The best part is that
it doesn't hang. You don't have to worry about
losing the sessions in the middle.
am glad to inform you that the screen comes
with eye protection shield, So, don't be stressed
about the screen time ruining your eyesight.
hope you'll take full advantage of this great
smartphone and enjoy it.

I haven't written to you for such a long time,
because we are in the middle of a huge
life changing phase. My father has been
promoted to @ higher post a work and we
‘are moving abroad soon. There is a lot of
formalities that we have to complete before
the move. We need to sell our furniture,
articles and other possessions here. We will
only be leaving a few stuff in the house as
there will be no one to check on it.
I remember that a few months earlier, you
were telling me about wanting to buy a
new bicycle of the same model as mine.
Now that we are moving abroad, | will no
longer require mine and thus, | am looking
for a buyer to sell it. The bicycle is just an
year old. It is in a fabulous condition as |
couldn't manage to ride it often because
of the hectic school schedule. If you are
still intrested in buying a bicycle, you can
purchase it from me in half of its original
price.
It might help you with your newspaper route
and you can even take it to school everyday,
| look forward to seeing you. Let me know if
you are interested.
All the best.

of your health, You have not been able to attend
school for last two weeks. | miss your presence
around me.
1am so excited to share with you that | took

was organised in our school last week. The
theme of the competition was ‘Save Green
Gold; to convey the message of saving trees
‘among the students. | was given the role of an
old man who advised some young people not
to cut the tree. | thoroughly enjoyed my role. itwas @ challenging task as the facial expressions
of an old man and speaking in a soft but
Convincing, firm tone was a bit difficult in the
beginning. But gradually, | fell into the flow with
Practice. Our school bagged the runners up
trophy, St. Mary School won the first prize.
I wish you were there to boost me up and
the competition. Hope you will soon be joining
us in the school | look forward to mesting you
soon.
