Dear John Hello, hope you are doing well. Writing

this

piece of paper to apologise for not returning the

book

‘Advanced Learning in C++’ that I borrowed from you during the

last

term.

Last

night, I found that

book

in my cupboard while I was making it and realized that I forgot to return it ,

although

, I promised to return it within a few days earlier. I am grateful to you for lending me

this

book

just prior to the final term as it was a great help, but, I deeply regret not returning it on time. I am not quite sure whether

this

book

is still indispensable to you or not. As far as I am concerned, you were planning to do masters in Computer Science and Application from one of the reputed universities in your country. So, please let me know if

this

book

is going to help you in cracking the entrance exam. Based on your response. I might courier it or send it through the post.

Besides

this

, as you are aware, Dino is visiting your hometown

month so if you can wait, I will send the

book

along with him. Wish you success and look forward to hearing from you soon. With Love Laura

It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviour to children?
An important step in child development is to teach your kid to discern good from bad and right from wrong. If the child is misbehaved sometimes the discipline might help them reflect on their actions. Punishment is a form of learning the difference between the right things and bad ones. While others consider punishment as torture, I agree with it but not in a violent way.
