Dear Sir

Subject: Need for Eco Lifestyle

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper I would like to bring to the attention of the general public that adopting an Eco lifestyle is call of the day. Due to increasing industrialisation there is a struggle among companies to succeed.

This struggle has led to competition which has caused consumption of environmental resources at a very fast rate. This had led to depletion of resources like forests and fuels. The amount of waste like used plastics has led to pollution.

Adopting an Eco lifestyle can be a good solution. It is a simple and affordable lifestyle. We must recycle not only garbage as manure but also share or give away used clothes o the needy people. Replace plastic bags with cloth bags. Minimise  the use of paper by avoiding printing and using e-mails and e-books. Car pooling and public transport help to reduce fuel consumption. Wise use of water, switching off lights when not required and use of CFL or LED bulbs are the other options. this Eco lifestyle will help to save and sustain energy and greenery for future generations.

Yours Sincerely
Asha Malhotra


Q: Write a letter to the Editor of The Assam Tribune about the benefits of Yoga and exercise for children. You are Rohan Singh of Royal Public School, Guwahati.

Dear Sir

Subject: Benefit f Yoga and Exercise.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper I would like to create awareness among school children and parents that through the practice of Yoga and physical exercises they can get over their stress, moodiness and poor performance in education.

Nowadays, the lifestyle of children has undergone drastic changes. They spend many hours playing video games, computer games and watching TV. Along with this, consumption of junk food like chips, soft drinks, burgers and pizzas is on the rise. These factors are responsible not only for poor performance in educating and obesity, but also lead to lack of concentration and stamina.

Hence, we must encourage outdoor games or have a daily exercise routine. The practice of Yoga, even for fifteen to twety minutes a day, is beneficial. Specially the asanas related to deep breathing as they help to rise concentration level. One can also try aerobics.

It is important to change because a healthy nation is truly a wealthy nation.

Yours Sincerely
Rohan Singh
