AP Intermediate 2nd Year English Grammar Letter Writing
Letter writing is an art. If we are able to communicate well, our life will be successful. We have a purpose in writing a letter. We can get correct and prompt reply when we are clear in our writing. There are two kinds of letters – personal and official. Personal letters are written to our relatives, father, mother, brother or sister and friends: These are called informal letters. The other kind, official letters are written to officials and business people. They are called formal letters. Before going to the distinct letters, we have to understand that the letters have a format of their own. In letter writing now a days we have two types of formats conventional, and modern.
It would be better if we know both these types, but we can present it in one way either conventional or modern. Both are accepted but one must be clear in his own type. To do this let us have examples on both these ways.
Letter writing అనేది ఒక కళ. మనం మంచిగా ఇతరులకు అవగాహనతో ఉండగలిగితే మన జీవితం సుఖమయంగా, విజయవంతంగా ఉంటుంది. మనం ఉత్తరం వ్రాయడంలో ఒక కారణము కలిగియుంటాము. మనం సక్రమంగా వ్రాయగలిగితే, సక్రమమైన జవాబులు పొందగలము.
రెండు రకాల ఉత్తరాలు ఉన్నాయి – Personal, Official, తండ్రి, తల్లి, సోదరుడు లేక సోదరి లేక స్నేహితులకు మనం వ్రాసే ఉత్తరాలను Personal letters అంటారు. వీటినే Informal letters అని కూడా అంటారు. మరోరకం Official letters. ఈ ఉత్తరాలు Officials మరియు వ్యాపార వర్గాలకు వ్రాయబడతాయి. వీటిని Formal letters అంటారు. ప్రత్యేక ఉత్తరాల గురించి ఆలోచించే ముందు మనం వీటి format గురించి ఆలోచించాలి. Conventional మరియు Modern అనబడే రెండు రకాల formats ఉన్నాయి. ఈ రెండు రకాలు తెలుసుకొని ఏదో ఒక ఫార్మాట్‌లో మనం వాయాలి. రెండూ అంగీకరించబడతాయి. కానీ ఆ ఫార్మాట్ ను అర్థం చేసుకోవాలి. రెండు రకాలుగా ఉదాహరణలు చూద్దాం.

I would like to bring the following few lines to your kind notice. I am a resident of Nehru Nagar in Madanapalle Municipality. In our area, sanitary conditions are very poor and garbage is dumped everywhere. The municipal workers are not cleaning the streets and garbage bins daily. Due to this, pedestrians have to actually cover their nose while walking down the roads. The public toilets also stink and are not cleaned by the sanitation workers every day. This is a major cause of breeding mosquitoes. Contaminated water and waste material are the reason for the diseases such as dengue, diarrhea and others. For the interest of public health, I request that immediate action be taken against the poor sanitary conditions and to arrest the mosquito menace that has been growing at a shocking rate over the weeks.

Question 2.
You have witnessed the impact of evaluation through grades, instead of marks in the Board of Intermediate Education exam results. Write a letter to your younger cousin advising him how to deal with the changes.
Answer:
| 224 Nehru Nagar Main Road Guntur. 16 June, 2019 My dear Udayasri How are you ? How are you studying ? I received your letter and noted the contents. I felt very happy for you getting highest marks in your class. As you know, the Board of Intermediate Education has introduced the grading system in the results, instead of marks. It is a very good decision. It avoids tension from the students and removes unhealthy competition. Now I have found that getting a good grade is not very difficult. If you attend the classes regularly and follow instructions, you can get a good grade. If you get more than 91% of marks, you are awarded 10/10 points in each subject. Based on the average of all subjects, your grading is fixed. There is no doubt that grades bring in several toppers and avoid committing of suicides of students for the sake of ranks. I find that grades are good and encouraging and appreciate the BIE for introducing it. I suggest you to put in hard work and get quality education without feeling any tension of marks and ranks. Convey my profound regards to your parents and best wishes to your brother. With love Yours lovingly Address :- |
