Dear Gerard, While writing

this

letter, I have mixed emotions from the shocking news of your departure from the firm. Even though you have all my best wishes, it is saddening that my expert senior will not be available to assist the team. Thank you for inviting me to your farewell party, but regretfully, I may be unable to make it since we have a family function that cannot be avoided on the same night. It is a get together of everyone in our joint family, which was planned for more than 6 months. As I am a key organizer of the event, it is difficult for me to be absent. Any other appointments could have been cancelled. But without a fret, since we have our annual dinner the following day, and you have an event lined up, I am sure we can meet at our office function. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours, Whatever time spent with you in the office are memorable, and you are one of those, who without a doubt will enter my close contacts. You have my details and number. Keep in touch. Yours truly, Alex

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages.If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and if so, how?
There is a trend these days of paying more attention to understanding English than the native languages which has led many to believe that local linguistics may become obsolete.Although learning international vocabulary is important for higher studies, most people can do without it.Efforts should be made to preserve the indigenous medium of conversation in a community by making it a compulsory subject and promoting it through national media.
