Dear Saptak,
How are you? I am doing well. You will be glad to know I have taken admission to Central School. The school building stands tall in the middle of a large ground.
I was apprehensive of starting overall again in a new environment. To my surprise, the school has welcomed me with an open heart. Our teachers treat us like their own children. They teach with great interest. I have made new friends also. They are very co-operative and we help each other in our studies.
The playground is the man attraction of the school. We have plenty of co-curricular activities which I love the most. I am elated to be able to continue with my football practice. I am fortunate enough to become the captain of our junior school team I am coping up in the new school, I often miss my old friends.
How are you doing with your studies? You must be working hard. Take care of yourself. Please convey my regards to your parents.
Yours Sincerely,
Anuj
