Answer:

Akash Public School,             Agra.             5 March, 20XX             The Editor,             The Hindu             New Delhi             Subject: The harmful effects of tourism on the Corbett National Park             Dear Sir,                         Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority to the rampant abuse of available facilities in the Corbett National Park by tourists and the subsequent endangerment to the environment.                         The tourists not only litter the place with non-biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers, but also use wood from the forests for cooking purposes. Excessive trampling of the soil has been reported to have a harmful effect on the natural ecosystem. The tranquility of the habitat, which is so crucial to the resident fauna, is habitually disturbed by the tourists playing loud music in their safari jeeps and during their camps.                         The Corbett National Park is the oldest in the country, established in 1936, to protect the endangered Bengal Tiger. The public should be made aware of the fact that eco-tourism should not be facilitated at the cost of harming the environment. It is my request that this issue should be immediately taken up by your esteemed publication to generate further awareness.             Yours sincerely,             Navita/Navlej             Secretary             Environment Club

112, Taj Road,             Agra             2 March 20XX             The Editor,             The Hindu             New Delhi             Subject: Exploitation of Teachers.             Dear Sir,                         It is said that the teachers in privately owned and managed schools in small towns and metropolitan suburbs are being exploited. On the occasion of Teacher?s Day, this issue was brought to light in another national daily, mentioning that the teachers employed in such schools are paid a fraction of their authorised salaries.                         Such a malpractice is seen to affect the performance of the teachers in the classroom, as most teachers take up other jobs to put an end to such exploitation and do not put in the requisite hours of teaching in the schools. The school trust pays these teachers much less than the amount they were promised, leading to resignations and constant changes in the faculty. This has affected students? performance and led to an atmosphere of uncertainty in the schools, which is detrimental to the cause of education.                         As a nation that prides itself on revering its teachers, it must be noted that we cannot build a future for our students if we do not give due credit to our teachers. Therefore, I request your esteemed publication to take up this matter in order to investigate the issue further and mobilise the public towards calling for a complete overhaul in the education system of the country.             Yours sincerely,             Navtej/Navita
