Dear John,
Thank you very much for your letter. I am very much pleased
to know that you are interested and curious to know about our local festivals.
I am going to give a brief introduction to one of the local festivals, hoping
that you will be excited to know about it.
There are many local festivals observed in our community.
Among them Holi is one. This is called the festival of colour. It is celebrated
on the Fagu Purnima. It is also one
of the greatest and beautiful festivals for the Hindus. It is celebrated with
greater enthusiasm in the Terai. In this festival people put coloured water and
red powder on one another and children enjoy by throwing the coloured water at
others. People enjoy a lot in this festival by beating drums and singing songs.
They go from one house to another and wish for the happiness and prosperity of
the house owner in their songs. In this way, people enjoy this festival very
much here. I have tried to write in short about this local festival. Please
write me about your local festival too.
With best regards,
Laxman

Dear Rohan,
I received your letter but it made me
rather disappointed; you have written that you failed your last examinations
and you have decided to quit studies. It's a great mistake; it is just an
escape that brings no good solution at all. I think you worked hard and did not
do anything which would result into failure. It is only your bad luck which has
played its part.
Failure is the mother of success. Treat
this failure just as a minor setback in your attempts and continue your
studies. Next time you will be crowned with success. Take King Prithvi
Narayan's activities for inspiration. He was not discouraged at the first
defeat at Nuwakot but learned lesson from the defeat for victory. Ultimately he
enjoyed success. It was same in Kirtipur victory too. He attacked 3 times and
finally he was able to get success to unified it in Nepal. I suggest you to
follow his footsteps.
Hoping all the best for
your next result!
Loving,
Bimal

Dear Sarina,
I
am very excited to tell you about my travel plan for the holidays. I have made
a plan to go to Pokhara with my parents. I will spend a week there. I have
never been there but I have heard a lot about it. I will go boating on Phewatal
and visit the Mahendra Cave and Davis Falls. I will go on a trekking to see
beautiful sites as well. I hope the weather will be fine. I will take
photograph of the places wherever I go for memory. I will show them to you. And
how about you Saajan ? What are you going to do during holidays ? Please don't
forget to write me. Let me write you again after I return.
With best regards,

in her studies.

Dear Prasiddhi,
I got and
studied your progress report. It speaks of your poor performance in your First
Terminal Examination. It is the beginning of your academic year and your first
board examination. Your results are extremely painful. I can't make out
precisely the cause of your performance. What about your hopes and time to find
out your weak points in every subject. Have courage and do not be dismayed.
Work hard. Give extra time to your studies. You can take more time in the
mornings by rising earlier. Revise your lessons thoroughly. Practice all
important questions again. Consult your teachers, friends, and better students.
Be dedicated to your work and avoid the company of all bad friends. They bring
a bad name for their school, parents and society. So grip up your bad habits
and ideas. Be hopeful and stand upright and show the best results in your next
terminals. 'Failure is a step towards success.' Nothing is impossible and everything is possible. be brave, Keep it up!
Your loving sister,
Kritika

Dear
Menuka,
I am very glad to receive your letter that
you sent on 20th April 2020. I read it and overwhelmed on it. Thanks
for your letter and the question you asked about my plans for the next twelve
months for the comparison with your plans. Without wandering here and there, I
would like to go your point.
This year I will be engaged well. Probably
I will have hardly any spare time that I can pass with you. However, I hope you
will not mind of being away from you. I assure you this will be last year to
live away from you. In the beginning of the new-year, we will be together
forever.
You will be surprised when you listen my
plans for my next twelve months. This month of year, we are going to Darjaling
for education tour. We will be travelling though many important towns and
village of that area. In holidays, I will go to my house to be with my mom and
dad who have been calling me for a long time to get together. At the same time,
I will have to go to meet my grandma who lives in the village of Dadeldhura. Then,
I will back to Kathmandu. Then, I will prepare for final exam. In Dashain, I
will have to go to Mumbai, where my, where my elder father and mother live and
work. They have invited me for a long time to be with them. Since they love me
too much, I will have to go there on their request-minimum one time. I will be
busy this whole year. I hope you will be writing and calling to me from time to
time.
Yours lovely,
Saleeana

Dear Dad,
I received your letter, yesterday. Thank
you very much for your wishes. I have felt sad for your absence in marriage. I
am hopeful of your arrival in the evening party on 10th January.
As you have asked what things you should
present me, I am very confused. I have needed a television set that can have
many channels. I hope it will be colour television that gives the picture more
clearly and runs with the remote controller. It will be 42 inch in size and rectangular
in shape. It is black in outlook color. I can wake morning with soft and sweet
music. I do hope, will have beautiful sense on it If you have not got it also,
you can bring a fan for summer. You can bring any fan: table fan or ceiling fan
as you like. But you will bring the medium type fan that is portable and easy
to handle. If possible or you get, please the fan with the remote controller. I
hope I have listed these three things. You can bring anyone as you like or
available in the market.
At last, I do hope you will come in our
party.
Yours lovely,
Mohan
