1. Read the following text and answer the questions that follow :
One day there was a grand wind for kite-flying. I'm not sure how it happened, but as I was bringing the kite from the house, I tripped and fell over the rocks. My elbow went clear through the kite, making a big hole.
We had to hurry to fix the kite if we wanted to send it up before the wind fell. We rushed into the lighthouse to get some paper. We knew there was no more red paper. We took the first thing that came handy-an old letter lying on the bookcase in the sitting room. We patched the kite up with the letter, a sheet on each side and dried it by the fire. We started out, and up went the kite like a bird. The wind was glorious and it soared. All at once-snap! And there was Claude, standing with a bit of cord in his hand, looking foolish. Our kite had sailed away over to the mainland.

Ans.>
Dear Ramsaran,
I am happy to learn that your father has gifted a motorcycle to you. At last your dream has come true. But amidst pleasure one thing I can't forget. To be precise, I advise you not to use your cellphone while crossing a road an riding the motor-cycle. Lots of accidents take place today owing to the horrible habit of receiving phone calls while riding the cars and other vehicles. Driving a car or a motor-cycle requires concentration on the part of the driver. But you can't concentrate if you are busy using the cellphone. If you like to make a call or receive one, you can do so by stopping your vehicle. One more thing to be maintained. Cell phones should not be kept in the front pocket. It may cause health problems.
Yours ever,
Dipankar
