Dear Love, Hope

this

letter finds you in pink of your health. As you know that I came to your city

last

month for one week ,

I was unable to meet you there due to some unavoidable circumstances. I am sorry from the depth of my heart for not seeing you at your place. Basically, I was there to care for my maternal aunt who is in her

last

stage of cancer and received palliative care at home from nurses. As I promised her to stay with her for a few days,

however

, when I reach there, after 5 hours she passed away. Apparently, I phoned my parents to reach there and attend all the death ceremonies for the

last

7 days.

This

is the reason that I was not able to see you and get no time to write to you. I guess you will understand the whole condition. There was a sad moment for my mother and other family members that's why I have to be there to console them. I am planning to come again there for the transfer of the property of my maternal aunt

week. It would be great if you could meet me. I would come there Wednesday so it would be ok to meet on Friday or Saturday evening. Write to me when you will be available so that I would plan

accordingly

. Waiting for your reply. Best wishes Ammy Sandhu

Some people think that children should start school at a very early age, but others believe that they should not go to school until they are older.
Nowadays, the right age of schooling become an intellectual conflict among the experts. While defenders argue that kids should attend school as early as possible, opponents think that the appropriate time of schooling is over the 6 or 7. In my point of view, not the former but the latter group’s ideology is more realistic and worth supporting. This essay delves into these opinions and expresses my notion before drawing a reasonable conclusion.

Some people believe that children should be allowed to go out for outdoor activities. While others believe that children should stay at home most of the time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Some people believe outside is fine for children some people believe stay home. I guess that depends on the situation. My opinion is outdoor activities always better than indoor activities.

Some countries achieve international sports by building specialised facilities to train top athletes, instead of providing sports facilities that everyone can use. Do you think this is positive or negative development? Discuss both views and give your opinion.
In modern days, sports are widely considered to be one of the most popular way to entertain the public. Contests, on a worldwide scale, are constantly organised with this exact purpose. Thus, a fair number of governments began investing capital in order to provide professional athletes with specialised facilities, uttery neglecting the option of doing so for a wider range of population, sparking a debate on the positive and negative consequences of this decision.
