Dear Sir,
I am writing to you to bring attention to the issue of the declining nature of reading in students. As the world develops and becomes more advanced, so also is the case of the use of technology and the abandonment of textbooks in their physical form. Nowadays, children are only interested in the use of mobile phones, laptops, and tablets to do their studies, all through technology.
Moreover, there are also numerous videos and other mediums that make their work easier. Such things only lead to the abandonment of physical textbooks and notebooks, the use of which is drastically declining even now.
So, I would like to use your esteemed newspaper to bring to the public's attention this issue. Maybe, if school works need not be done through the internet, and if schools and academic works can be done using physical textbooks rather than pdf forms or videos, there is still some hope of keeping the practice of reading physical textbooks alive.
Also, if parents can encourage their children to read more from hardcopy textbooks rather than the pdf versions, and also help them in maintaining reading practices, be it subjects or even storybooks, that can help a long way in keeping the practice alive.
I hope that my points are made and that people can easily understand the issue that I am talking about.
Thank you.
Regards,
Divyansh.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Ev
Answer: The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
Explanation:
The purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs is that the author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
From the excerpt, Della has always admired the combs which she had worshipped in a Broadway window. She adores them and believed that it will be perfect for her hair.
Eventually Jim got it for her but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. Here, the author described how beautiful and adorable the combs were to show how Della must have really felt bad that she won't be able to use them.
Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.
His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. He staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. He stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and Rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general's mocking laugh ring through the jungle.
Which analysis best explains the effect of adding the female character in the film adaptation of the scene?
She advances the plot. Having her run through the jungle moves the events of the story along.
She serves a practical function. Using her bracelet to create the trap makes it more realistic to the audience.
She raises the stakes. Giving the audience someone else to care about increases the suspense level.
She makes the film prettier. Having a beautiful female character is mostly decorative, creating a nice visual.
Answer: She raises the stakes, giving the audience someone else to care about increases the suspense level.

In Fugard’s "Master Harold…and the Boys", Hally and Sam discuss who they would nominate as a "Man of Magnitude" (for example, Charles Darwin or Abraham Lincoln). In at least one hundred words, create a clear, original, and debatable thesis statement about who you would nominate as a "Person of Magnitude"—somebody who has changed the world for the better. Support your thesis statement with at least two supporting details. Be sure to avoid using clichés. Use at least one transition in your response.
Firstly, to create the thesis statement you should select a person that you consider to be a 'person of magnitude'. For example, let's select Mahatma Ghandi.
Secondly, you need to write two supporting details for the thesis statement. This means that you have to search information about the person you chose, in this case, Mahatma Ghandi, and then select two things that he has done that you consider to be what makes him a 'person of magnitude'. For example, Ghandi was a very important figure in the Indian independence movement against Britain. Also, Ghandi was non-violent so he fought peacefully and that is why he is so well-known.
Finally, you have to use transitions in your text. You can learn more about transitions in the following link https://brainly.com/question/2372495?referrer=searchResults
In conclusion, you need to select the person and search information to create your thesis statement. Then, you have to write a coherent text using transitions and writing down the information you first selected.
Flying cars ......... More popular in the future( be) The next train ......... At 9a.M( leave) Don't visit me next month.........! I........ In Greece. ( travel)
Answer:
Flying cars would be more popular in the future (be)The next train will leave at 9a.m (leave)Don't visit me next month, I will be traveling! I will be in Greece. (travel)Explanation:
Required
Complete the gaps
(a) Flying cars ......... more popular in the future (be)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time. However, the statement is an imagination of what is to happen and not what will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with would be.
"would be", as used, means flying cars will most like be popular.
(b) The next train ......... at 9a.m (leave)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time; and it is certain that the event will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with will be.
"will be", as used, means the train will definitely leave once it's 9am.
(c) Don't visit me next month.........! I........ In Greece. (travel)
Here, we have two blanks.
The first will be completed with "I will be travelling" as implied with the word in bracket.
The second statement supports the first; and it shows where the person would be, "next month"
So, we complete the statement with "I will be"
