My dear Surabhi
How are you? I am fine and pray for your well-being. Last week I was very busy with a poster competition. It was organised by our school on occasion of the 65th aniversary of India’s independence. The students of five to eight took part in this competition. They all praised to achievements of India during the period ranges from 1947 to 2011. I also made a fine poster on the freedom struggle and the sacrifices made by freedom fighters. That was a great day for all of us. We enjoyed a lot. Rest is ok. Please do write back soon.
Your loving friend

Oliver was a nine-year-old boy. He lived with other homeless boys in an orphanage. He was pale and thin as were the other boys living there. This was because they had to work hard but were never given enough to eat. The owner of the orphanage, Mr Bumble, was a cruel man and he ill-treated the boys. The boys were always hungry. It was true that they were given three meals a day but each meal consisted only of a bowl of watery soup. They were almost starving. So it was decided by them to ask the master for more soup. But who would bell the cat? Finally the task fell to Oliver.
When all the boys had assembled in the cold stone hall for their evening meal, the soup was served. It soon disappeared. The boys whispered to one another and one boy pushed Oliver a little.
