Write a letter to a foreign friend telling him about your city.
Answers
Answer:
I received your letter a week ago. I am sorry, I could not write to you earlier as I was but of station. During the winter break, I had a chance to visit Kolkata along with my uncle. I hope, my description of the visit of that great city will be a source of pleasure for you.
It was my first visit to Kolkata. We stayed there with a friend of my father. He was a kind host. He took me round some important places of the city. Kolkata is a very big place. The streets of Kolkata are full, of the crowds of people. There is such great rush-of traffic that at first I felt quite confused.
Kolkata is a city of fine streets. I liked the Chawranghee most of all. On one side it is lined by tall buildings and on the other by the maidan. The maidan is a great open park where large numbers of people assemble to spend their sweet evenings.
In Kolkata there are many places worth-seeing. I saw the Government House, Fort William, the Museum, the Botanical Garden, the Zoo at Alipore, and the Birla Planetarium I had a very pleasant time in Kolkata. It is really a fine city in India. I am sure, my description of the city will tempt you to visit Calcutta very soon.

My dear Rahim,
You might be wondering at long silence. The simple explanation is that I happened to go to Mumbai and stayed there for a month in my uncle’s house. I was so much dazzled by this metro polis at first that I decided to observe it longer before writing to you.
Frankly speaking, I was not impressed with the well –known sights of Mumbai such as the prince of Wales museum, the Gateway of India , and the Victoria Gardens. I have seen such sight , some of the better, in Bangalore and Hyderabad .What mainly struck me about Mumbai was its cosmopolitan character. You will find here people coming from all parts of India , speaking different Languages , and belonging to different religions and communities. Some Europeans and Americans also live here. I saw the sea for the first time in my life and was enchanted with it. But another sea took my breath away – the sea of humanity, endless, surging, that pours into the Churchgate and Shivaji terminus stations in the evening. It is no wonder that the housing problem stares the city in the face.
Mumbai is a city of contrasts .wealth and poverty, skyscrapers and slums, exist side by side .men in ultra-modern clothes brush shoulders with gentlemen clad in an orthodox fashion. Gross materialism and wild pleasure-seeking co-exist in the pursuit of spiritual development.
I look forward to meeting you after the school reopens.
Your loving friend.
Magesh .
