ACTIVITY: 3

Suppose on hot summer afternoon while you were playing with your friends, the weather changed suddenly and the rains came down and so you were completely drenched. Write a letter to your friend in about 80 words describing your feelings of being drenched.

Ans: Dear Tarun,

Hope this letter finds you in the best of health and happiness. Today I want to share with you one of my wonderful feelings. It was scorching hot this afternoon. But ignoring that heat, my friends and I were playing football. Suddenly darkness fell all around and it started raining. I can’t express in words the feeling of playing football in that rain. It is a wonderful feeling to kick a football in the wet field, push friends in the mud. After a while a call came from home and we were all forced to leave the field. That’s it for today. See you soon.

Your loving friend,
Rahul
