I took pleasure in writing to you about the need to spread the message The Statue of Equality seeks
to promote. The 216ft, golden-hued, Panchaloha Statue of Bhagavad Ramanuja Charya is not just
a monument; it is a symbol of equality.
Sri Sri Sri Tridhandi China Ramanuja Jiyer Swami conceived this mega project in 2014 &

The first puja to Samatha Murthy was performed in the presence of The President of India on 14

Hence, I request you to spread this message through your reputed newspaper.

received information from The Ministry of Education that I’ve secured fifth place in the Innovative
Challenges Competition.
The Ministry of Education conducted this competition in the last month to encourage young minds
to take up creative research. As you know well, I have a keen bent of mind for innovation. I crave
fresh and new ideas, the moment I saw the notification. For this competition in February, I decided
to participate in it. Systematic and scientific smart work with the active support from our Physics
lecturer saw to it that I achieved this distinction.

Statue of Equality
‘The Statue of Equality’ is the name given to the famous statue of an ancient poet, Ramanuja
Charyulu. The stunning Statue of Equality, standing an impressive 216 ft tall and adorned in a
golden hue, this awe-inspiring monument is situated on a sprawling 50-acre site in Muchintal, near
Hyderabad. This statue has now become the most modern tourist attraction in Hyderabad. It is a
very tall and imposing structure. The eyes and ears are wide open with eagerness to listen to the
suffering of humanity. Eyes show mercy and pity for the destitute. The shoulders are robust and
broad, ever ready to take up responsibilities. The hands are folded. The statue teaches us equality
of all castes, communities, and religions. The message of the statue is ‘Service to society is service
to God’. A man turns into god when he spreads love, service, and care.

Thus, even a common man can become a Supreme being when he sacrifices his joy and pleasure
for the deprived and marginalized sections of society.

Dear Sruthi
I’m safe here and hope you are all in hale and hearty. As you are my best friend, I want to share
something with you. My parents joined me at Vivekananda Jr. College last month. In the 1st week,
I felt a bit lonely but now, I gradually got used to this environment. We have an excellent faculty
for The MPC stream. They are very friendly and helpful. The college has a good infrastructure and
it provides a pleasant atmosphere for students.
I was scared about hostel food but luckily, I'm enjoying the food as it tastes homely. I have made
a few friends here and they are very friendly. So far, I like this college. The only thing is I miss
you. Hope we’ll meet during the Dussehra vacation. How about your college and your experience
over there? Do let me know.
Convey my regards to your parents.
Yours truly

Dear Sir
Sub: Requisition to take up necessary measures to improve sanitary conditions-reg.
I would like to bring to your kind notice that I’m a resident of Nehru Nagar, Bhupala Palle. In our
area, sanitary conditions are very poor and garbage is dumped everywhere. The municipal workers
are not cleaning the streets' garbage bins daily. Owing to this, pedestrians face a lot of problems
while going down the roads.
The public toilets are also stink and not cleaned by the sanitation workers every day. This is a
major cause of breeding mosquitoes. Contaminated water and waste material are the reason for
diseases such as diarrhea, flu, dengue, etc.
Hence, I request you to take immediate action against the poor sanitary conditions that has been
growing day by day.
Thanks, and Regards
Yours faithfully

Sir
Sub: Ill effects of media, television, and movies on the younger generation - Reg.
I’d like to bring to your kind notice the bad effects by which the younger generation spoils their
life. Firstly, social media is a good platform for enhancing the performance of youth. They are
used for communication, marketing, and other activities. Though there are various benefits, young
people must be careful of cybercriminals.
47
SENIOR ENGLISH WORK BOOK - KEY
Secondly, television telecasts some healthy programs that help to improve their mental ability,
thinking level, knowledge of national and international news, and general knowledge. It covers
information on computer technology, health practice, etc. It’s a powerful electronic medium of
communication. Some programs are good but not all on channels. The negative programs easily
attract the young generation towards them. So, they must be cautious about such programs. Finally,
movies play a very important role in our lives. People easily get affected by them. This is the
reason why some movies get banned and some of them are strongly opposed. Youth are affected
a lot by these movies. They learn all the good and bad from it. Somehow it affects our lives as well
as the society in many ways.
Hence, I request you to publish this matter in your reputed paper to give awareness to the younger
generation.
Thanking you

Dear Jahnavi,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to share with you the importance of reading books. Books
are not just a source of knowledge but also windows to other worlds, minds, and experiences. They
can transport you to far-off places, introduce you to fascinating characters, and help you see life
from different perspectives. Reading stimulates the mind, improves vocabulary, and enhances your
ability to think critically. It's a lifelong journey of learning and self-discovery. So, I encourage you
to read often, as it's not just a hobby but a valuable tool for personal growth and understanding the
world around us.
Convey my regards to mom and dad.

SENIOR ENGLISH WORK BOOK - KEY
Applying for a Driving License
A driving license is an official document issued by the Government of India. A driving License
authorizes its holder to operate various types of motor vehicles such as cars, motorbikes, trucks,
buses, etc. on a public road without any supervision. The Motor Vehicle Act of 1988, states that
no individual without a driving license is authorized to drive a motor vehicle in a public place.
Hence, if you wish to drive a motor vehicle like a Car or Bike on the road, first, you need a valid
Driving License in India, if you are practicing a vehicle, you must need a Learner’s License. Which
will act as a provisional license and then must take a test to qualify for a driving license. My brother
improved his knowledge of the symbols and signs on roadsides and while driving. Then he filled
out the prescribed form and submitted it to the Local RTA (Road Transport Authority) or MVI
(Motor Vehicle Inspector) office along with the payment details of the necessary fee. Then, he
took a written test. He cleared the test and got a Learner’s License. After practising driving for a
month, he took a test in driving. He got through it and he was issued a Driving License.

66
SENIOR ENGLISH WORK BOOK - KEY
- A tea cup or mug
- Kettle or a pot to heat water
- Milk

Preparation:
Making a cup of tea is a straightforward yet soothing process. Start by boiling water in a kettle or
a pot. While the water is heating, place your tea bag or loose tea leaves in a cup. Once the water
reaches a rolling boil, pour it over the tea bag or leaves, filling the cup. Allow the tea to steep,
which means letting it sit for a few minutes to infuse the water with flavor(optional). The exact
steeping time can vary depending on the type of tea you're making. Generally, black tea takes
about 3-5 minutes, while green and herbal teas may require 2-4 minutes. Finally, remove the tea
bag or strain the leaves, and add any desired sweeteners, milk, or lemon to taste. Your cup of tea
is now ready to enjoy, providing warmth and comfort.

Dear Manogna

I hope this letter finds you well in the USA. I wanted to share with you the beauty and cultural
richness of the Telangana floral festival, Bathukamma, which recently took place here. It's a
remarkable and vibrant celebration that showcases the grace and glory of our region.
Bathukamma is a nine-day festival where women come together to create stunning flower
arrangements. They gather various local flowers and arrange them in colorful and intricate
patterns, making enormous stacks of flowers that resemble beautiful mounds. The sight of these
flower arrangements is truly breathtaking.
The festival symbolizes the reverence for nature and the goddess Gauri. It's a time of singing,
dancing, and joyful celebrations. People dress in traditional attire, and the whole state comes alive
with music and dance performances.
The atmosphere is electric, and the colors are a feast for the eyes. I wish you could be here to
witness it in person. I'll make sure to share some pictures with you, so you can get a glimpse of
the grace and glory of Bathukamma.
I hope you're doing well in the USA, and I can't wait to hear from you soon. Convey my regards
to your family.
Take care.

Additionally, studying in English-speaking countries can be a rewarding experience. It provides
exposure to diverse cultures, excellent educational institutions, and the chance to make lifelong
connections. Fluency in English can make it easier to adapt and succeed in these settings.

16. Describe the process to polish shoes. 1 × 4 = 4M
Ans.
Polishing Your Shoes
Polishing shoes is a simple process that can help maintain the appearance and extend the life of
your footwear. Here's a basic guide on how to polish shoes:
Materials You'll Need:
1. Shoe polish (matching the color of your shoes).
2. Soft cloth or a brush.
3. Clean, damp cloth or sponge.
Polishing shoes is a simple process that can greatly enhance their appearance and extend their
lifespan. To begin, you'll need a few basic supplies: shoe polish in the color of your shoes, a soft
cloth or shoe brush, and a shoehorn. First, remove the shoelaces to access all areas of the shoe.
Next, use a damp cloth to clean the surface of the shoe, removing any dirt or residue. Once the
shoes are clean and dry, apply a small amount of shoe polish using a soft cloth or applicator brush,
making circular motions to evenly spread the polish. Allow the polish to dry for a few minutes.
Afterward, use a clean cloth or a separate brush to buff the shoes, creating a shine. Repeat the
process if necessary for a higher gloss. Finally, re-lace the shoes, and you'll have a polished pair
that looks as good as new.

Dear Miyapur Police Commissionerate,


I am writing to express my deep concern about the increasing issue of drunk and reckless driving
in our community. I believe that urgent action is needed to curb this dangerous behavior and ensure
the safety of our roads.
Drunk driving poses a significant risk to the lives and well-being of our fellow citizens. It not only
endangers the lives of those behind the wheel but also innocent bystanders and pedestrians. The
consequences of such actions can be catastrophic and life-altering.
I implore the police department to take strict and proactive measures to control and deter drunk
driving in our area. This could include increased patrols, sobriety checkpoints, and public
awareness campaigns to educate people about the dangers of driving under the influence.
I hope that through your efforts, we can make our roads safer and prevent needless accidents and
tragedies. I am confident that the police department can play a pivotal role in bringing about a
positive change in our community.
Thank you for your dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community members.
Your actions in controlling drunk and reckless driving will undoubtedly save lives and make our
community a safer place for all.
Sincerely,
G. Swamy

Bank Manager : Good morning! That's great to hear. We offer various types of savings accounts
to suit your needs. What kind of account are you interested in?
Student : I'm looking for a basic savings account to start with. Something for everyday
banking and managing my finances.
Bank Manager : Absolutely, we have a basic savings account option that may suit you. To open
an account, you'll need some identification documents and an initial deposit. Do
you have your identification documents with you?
Student : Yes, I have my Aadhar card, PAN card, and a utility bill for address proof. How
much is the initial deposit?
Bank Manager : Your documents are in order. The initial deposit for a basic savings account is
quite reasonable, just INR 500. Would you like to proceed with the account
opening today?
Student : Yes, let's get it started. What do I need to do next?
Bank Manager : Excellent! You go to the counter no.2. They will give you the account opening
form, and you can fill the form with their help. Once that's done, we'll process
your application, and your new account will be active shortly.
Student : Thank You, sir.
