Writing II: Letter to the Editor

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpZTl4QYYAU&t=5s 

A. Read the letter to the editor of a newspaper and label the given parts in it.

Vyas-6, Tanahun.

21 May 2021.

The Editor,

The Rising Nepal,

Dharmapath, Kathmandu.

 

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to keep my views regarding the reckless driving and its consequences on the Prithvi Highway.

Road accidents seem to be common on the Prithvi Highway these days. For the last few months, there has not been a single day when accidents did not occur on the highway. Most of these accidents were caused by reckless driving. The other day, I was horrified to witness a dreadful accident. A young biker and his wife were crushed to death when a speeding truck that came from behind ran over them. Countless innocent lives are lost on the roads in this manner. Reckless driving could kill children, pedestrians and animals. A car that spins out of control can harm other vehicles on the road too.

In addition, reckless driving can cause significant damage to property. Thus, it goes without saying that reckless driving is a public safety issue that must be properly addressed.

    Yours faithfully,

Sarun Limbu

B.    Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper highlighting the importance of natural resources in Nepal, and ways of preserving them.

 

Prithvinagar, Jhapa.

10 May 2024.

 

The Editor,

The Kathmandu Post,

Kathmandu, Nepal.

 

Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my concern about the importance of natural resources in Nepal and ways to preserve them.

Nepal is a landlocked country with a diverse range of natural resources. These resources include forests, mountains, rivers, and lakes. These resources are essential for the survival of the people of Nepal and the environment. Forests provide us with clean air, water, and food. They also help to regulate the climate and prevent soil erosion. Mountains provide us with a source of water and hydroelectric power. Rivers and lakes provide us with a source of water for drinking, irrigation, and recreation. Unfortunately, these natural resources are under threat from deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Deforestation is the clearing of forests for agriculture, development, or other purposes. Pollution is the contamination of the environment with harmful substances. Climate change is the long-term change in the Earth's climate.

Moreover, these threats have a negative impact on the environment and the people of Nepal. Deforestation is leading to soil erosion, water shortages, and climate change. Pollution is making the air and water unsafe to drink and breathe. Climate change is causing more extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, and landslides. We need to take action to protect our natural resources.

Finally, we can do this by planting trees to replace those that have been lost to deforestation, reducing our use of fossil fuels and other polluting substances, using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power and adapting to the effects of climate change. We need to act now to protect our natural resources. If we don't, we will face serious consequences for the environment and the people of Nepal.

Yours faithfully,

Beruna Labung
