Dear Gayatri,
Thank you very much for your last letter. It was great to hear from you after so
many months. You seem to be having a nice time in France.

Thanks also for the photographs. I absolutely loved that picture of yours
standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. France looks stunning. Someday, I would
definitely like to go there.

There’s not much happening here. I am busy with my studies and assignment
and project completion.

By the way, are you coming home anytime soon? If you are, let me know the
dates and we can arrange to meet up.

Hope to see you soon!

Write a letter to your friend describing your recent experience of visiting the Book
Fair, New Delhi.

Dear Rajan,

This letter is to describe about my unique and memorable visit to a book fair.
Last week I accompanied my school on a trip to the Book Fair, New Delhi. We were
greatly surprised to find a large variety of books on different subjects in the Book
Stalls of the Fair. There were many illuminating and interesting books for all age-
groups. The children’s corner in the fair drew maximum crowd.

I also purchased a few books on short stories and general knowledge. The visit
to the Book Fair was indeed the most valuable experience. I think you should also plan
to visit the Book Fair.

Do write back with your unique experience after your visit.

Your friend
Neeraj.
