WRITING LETTERS
252. Do you write letters?
Yes, I write formal as well as informal letters. As

also write e-mails to my friends residing overseas. In my profession of course
to keep records, e-mails are used more.

have to work with internet. I write both types of letters. Usually to my
friends, I write manually but in my office, I have to write using computer
also. As most of the work is done electronically, e-mails are used more to
write letters.
254. Do you think children should be taught to write
letters at school?
School days are the formative years of learning. The
things taught at this stage have a long retention. Letter writing skill is required
at every stage of life so this skill should be taught from childhood at school.
I have observed that in my country, it is included in the syllabus and children
start writing letters from class first.
255. Compare the way you learnt to write and the way
children today learn to write?
There is a huge difference between the way we were
taught to write and children are taught to write but long back, we used to
write with pencils and in ink only and apart from this, traditional methods of
writing were also popular in those days. Nowadays, creative writing is also a
part of learning in the schools.
