Dear Mr. Garg,
I am writing this letter to seek some information about rental accommodation properties in Ahmedabad. I plan to move there with my family by the end of this month.
Currently, I am living in Surat. Recently, I got promoted to higher-level position in my company. As a plan of expansion, the organization has decided to start a new office there and I will be responsible for looking after that. So I have to shift there.
Furthermore, our new planned office is located by S.G.Highway. As I am not very familiar with the city, I would like to rent property in the nearby area. Someone has suggested Satellite and Thaltej, I want to consider that too.
I am moving there with my husband and two kids, the house needs to have at least 2 bedrooms. Additionally, it needs to be semi-furnished especially in the kitchen with a gas connection. My kids are still young so it needs to be safer for them.
It would be great for me if you could send me some details prior to our moving with concerns terms. I am looking forward to your positive reply.
Yours faithfully,
Jaimini PatelYou are moving to a new city with your family. Write a letter to a real estate agent to enquire about accommodations. Include in your letter
Why you are moving

The chart below shows the literacy rates of three different continents between 1930 and 2000.
It is argued by many that for growth and development of a nation,government should provide more funds to teach science subjects like medical science, computer science and information technology as compared to other subjects.I assert with this opinion because inventions in through science have helped saving health and environment significantly. To embark on, Science plays a pivotal role in human development over centuries.Researches in medical science have helped cure various diseases like cancer and other long term diseases as well as irradicate and prevent lethal diseases like plague, polio,influenza and Ebola.Thereby helping improve health of the country.Recent health surveys in the United Kingdom has shown overall 30 percent reduction in occurrence of diseases .Thus, investing more money in teaching medical studies will help country progress and develop. In addition, advancement in computer science and information technology has aided in development of industries with complex machineries,which helped increasing the productivity.Thereby boosting economic growth of the country.Owing to use of machineries and manufacturing processes in the United States and China , studies have shown that these countries have progressed significantly over years.In fact the developed countries all over the world have more scientific background as compared to developing countries.furthermore industrialisation helps produce jobs eventually promoting the economic growth of the nation. To, conclude, in my opinion, although other subjects like arts and literature would benefit country,funding more in scientific teaching would help invent new things which will promote growth and development of the country and make it a better place to live in.

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You have a full-time job and you are also doing a part-time evening course.
You now find that you cannot continue the course.
Write a letter to your teachers. In your letter
describe the situation
explain why you cannot continue at this time
say what action you would like to take
You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
You should write at least 150 words.
You normally go shopping in the area where you live. However, you think some of the facilites for shoppers could be improved.
Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter:say in general what you like about shopping in your area
, say what is wrong with the facilities,
suggest how they can be improved

They are also helping us in making our country digital, they are providing free WIFI to remotes areas with the help of drones etc and this has helped India by generating jobs, reducing the cost of import for all the necessary equipment. Digital Technologies include Cloud Computing and Mobile Applications which have emerged as the main reason for rapid economic growth.
Digital India will change the face of many states,
For example, Himachal Pradesh where many basic things such as the health care system, education and online business. Due to digital India people who do online banking has also increased to a very large extent.
Digital India has the mission of making India digitally empowered and literate and all the services will be given online which made people to get information easily and, in all languages, it wants all the services be available to its citizens digitally which will make our country empowered and more developed economy

Yashank- Hello suhird, it’s great to see you again
Suhird – Hi, it's great seeing you too, how long has it been? It must be more than 6 months. I'm doing good. How about you?
Yashank- Not too bad
Suhird- What is new?
Yashank- Well I wanted to meet you because I really want to talk to you about my friend.
Suhird- Okay
Yashank- Well, He doesn’t bring his books and disturbs others during study hours. He keeps on speaking and never lets other study. Due to him, I am not able to concentrate in class.
Suhird- Did you try to talk to him?
Yashank-Yes but he neither listens to me nor my friends.
Suhird- Do teachers know about him?
Yashank- I guess, but they just ignore him while they are teaching.
Suhird – why don’t you try talking to him again?
Yashank- I have done several times, but he still doesn’t pay attention.
Suhird- I think you should talk to his class teacher about him. Since they have more experience than us in handling students.
Yashank- OKAY, it sounds like a good idea. I will also ask him to make the subject more interesting and practical so that he is able to concentrate more on his studies.
Suhird- Do you need help with anything else?
Yashank- No, thank you for your time.
Suhird – No problem brother. Bye
Yashank- Bye
