Comparing the features of personal letter : 

Among the five parts, the letter shown in activity 15.1 has only two parts. They are- greetings/ salutation and body. The three parts missing in this letter are- heading, closing and signature. So, it is clear that it is not a complete letter.

Comparing the features of application

The application shown in activity 15.1 has six main parts of an application. They are- address of the receivers, subject, salutation, body, closing, and signature. It has only one part missing, and that is ‘date’.

Comparing the features of news article

The presented news articles have short headings and they are divided into several paragraphs. Such articles usually express different point of views and facts about the incidents.

15.5 | Look at the following table. The left column shows some problems/ issues of your everyday life. And the words in the box refer to the authorities to whom you will write for help. Now, in pairs /groups write in the next column whom you will write to for each problem.

15.6 | In groups let’s find our problems and decide whom to write to. To do the task, follow the steps given below.

a) Go to the texts (My dream school, Save our home, etc.)

b) Make a list of the problems/issues that have been discussed in these texts.

c) Now decide in groups whom you will write to solve these problems/ issues.

d) Finally, decide which format of a letter you will use. (e.g., personal, formal letter, or newspaper articles)

Now, present your letter/ newspaper articles to the class.

Ans: Issues of Problems, in the referred texts are mentioned below

The text ‘My dream school’ highlights the issues or problems like-

In case of city

• Small pond
• Lack of trees
• Sound of horns of vehicles
• Tiny garden
• Not having a big playground
• Crossing busy roads is risky

In case of village

• Small library
• Roads are muddy in the rainy season

The text ‘Save our home’ gives us hints of some environmental problems like- 

• Deforestation
• Plastic pollution, water pollution, air pollution, sound pollution
• Damage of crops, global warming, flood, etc.

For the problems found in the text “My dream school, I would write a formal letter to the Head teacher of my school.

On the other hand, in case of the problems found in the text ‘Save our home’, I would write formal letter again. However, this time, the authority to whom I will write is different. For instance- for any type of pollution, I would write an application to the UNO (Upazila Nirbahi Officer). Sometimes I may even write to Chairman or Mayor for some area-based problems. In such cases, newspaper articles may also be written for making people aware of the issues.

15.7 | In groups, find a problem from your surroundings and then, write an application/letter/ news article to solve it

Ans: An application for cleaning the playground boundary of school

15 January 2023

The Headmaster,

Kadhurkhil United Muslim High School, Boalkhali, Chattogram 

Subject: Request for taking step to clean the playground boundary.

Dear Sir, 

We the students of class seven, are hereby to inform you that we have a large playground in our school. We must take care of it, as we use it on a regular basis. However, we would like to inform you that the boundaries of our playground are so dirty. The gardener and the sweeper are neglecting the problem and not doing their job properly. Since it is unhealthy for us, we cannot move around or sit near this boundary.

We, therefore, pray and hope that you would take the matter seriously and take proper step regarding the above-mentioned problem.

Yours obediently

Sazid Kabir

On behalf of the students of class seven
