Question

Read the following passage carefully: Writing letters has been an age-old tradition and one of the most important means of communication. A letter is not just a piece of paper, but a beating heart that has the healing power for a mother in distress waiting since long to hear from her son and a medicine for an ailing daughter who has been waiting to hear from her father. 2. Indeed, letters have so far been one of the most important means of communication with a personal touch that can never be replaced by the most modern technologies. How beautiful are letters! 3. But today, so much has been lost in the process of technological advancement. What have we lost? Can you re-read a phone call? A sense of nostalgia comes over me when I think of the yellow pages and the musty smell of an old, very old letter I come across while flipping the pages of a book or when arranging my wardrobe. How we love to read them again and go down the memory lane! 4. Letters, of late, have been replaced by text messages. The world has become a small place as communication has become so easy and fast. The various social sites have brought together people, but the connect that a letter was able to create is missing. Everything is so mechanical today. 2.1 On the basis of your reading of the above passage, answer the following questions in 30-40 words each: 2x4=8M (a) “Is the letter just a piece of paper?” Why? *
