Before you start: Writing sentences.

📖 Explanation

A paragraph (अनुच्छेद / పేరా) on one topic has an opening line, details and a closing line. Topics: 'मेरा प्रिय त्योहार', 'మా ఊరు'.

Informal letters (पत्र / లేఖ) to family begin with a respectful greeting ('आदरणीय पिताजी' / 'పూజ్యులైన నాన్నగారికి') and end with a closing ('आपका पुत्र' / 'మీ కుమారుడు'). A notice (सूचना / ప్రకటన) gives what, when and where.

Picture description: look carefully and describe people, actions and setting in order.

🇮🇳 Example from India

'मेरा प्रिय त्योहार दीवाली है। इस दिन हम घर साफ़ करते हैं, दीये जलाते हैं और मिठाई बाँटते हैं…'

⚠️ Common mistake

✗ Letters to elders can be written in the same way as to friends
✓ Letters to elders use respectful greetings and polite language.
