Formal Letter based on a given situation -- CBSE Class 10

Write a letter to the Commissioner of Police of your city requesting him to organise traffic rules awareness week for the general public. You are Aman/ Amita, 25, Adarsh Nagar, Lucknow. 25, Adarsh Nagar Lucknow 23 June 2021 The Commissioner of Police Lucknow Commissionerate Lucknow Subject: Request to organise 'Traffic Rules Awareness Week' Sir, I am writing to you to bring your attention towards the rising indifference among the riders of our city towards road safety and awareness of traffic rules.

Character Sketch - Anil - A Thief's Story - Class 10 (Footprints Without Feet)

Anil was a mature and thoughtful man. He was a man of patience. When Hari asked him for work by trying to flatter him, we see that he gives him work not because he was flattered by his antics, but because he saw Hari was a boy whose life he could improve in some way.  He wrote for a magazine and earned by "fits and starts". He was extravagant too as he spent his money lavishly when he earned it. His earnings were not regular. Though he did not pay Hari initially, he always knew he was giving him enough for buying daily supplies, and Hari, the clever teen was saving a part of it for himself (a rupee). He wanted to improve Hari's quality of life because what he gave him was more than meagre salary. He taught him basic arithmetic and how to write sentences.
