Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in reply to the request made for written articles about the book which has been the most influential for me.
To begin
with, the specific book which impacted me during my life is none other than “Engineering for Kids” by Mr David Miller. This
particular piece is targeted towards young children who have a knack for engineering and a thirst to understand how things work in general.
As such
, I would not be lying, if I said that this
particular piece of literature helped me to foster my fondness towards engineering so much so, that it paved the path for my future education at the point of time, resulting in my pursuit of a degree in engineering at my local university, and later becoming a lecturer at the same institution.
Furthermore
, I highly believe that there are plenty of children who have similar traits to what I had during my childhood and this
particular book would be an ideal stepping stone for their future endeavours.
Thus
, I hope my letter on this
particular subject will be sufficient for you, and expect it to be published in one of the future editions of the magazine.
Yours sincerely,
Rob Tucker.Submitted by kanishka.wimalasuriya on
