ENGLISH GRAMMER

Write a letter to your younger brother advice him to take part in games:

Lal Bazar,

Srinagar.

09-11-13

My dear brother,

I received a letter from your school teacher saying that you always remain busy and attached to your

books you pay very little attention to games. This news has made me worried about your health.

You know that “All work and no play makes man dull and lazy”. It is of no use securing a good division at

the cost of your health. Games are very necessary for a student. They make him healthy and strong and

teaches him to work in a team and lead a disciplined life.

My advice to you is that you must also take part in games and improve your health. I hope that you will

act upon my advice.

Yours affectionately,

A.B.C
