In task 6 learners were asked to write simple letters playing the roles of different people.  In the letters they wrote each learner played the parts of two people, so that they can write a letter with a specific purpose and also draft it’s reply.  For example, playing the roles of a father and son, a learner has written two letters   ( task 6 ). 

Excerpts from student's written work

Son’s letter                          Father’s reply

I reached here safe.              I am happy to know that you reached there safe

I like my school here.             I am also happy to know that you like your school

I have to buy some books.      I will send the money order you Rs.100.

Please send me Rs.100.

Learners also played a guessing game, where they wrote letters to their classmates, describing one of their friends whose name is to be guessed by the learner who receives the letter.  Here again the description was simple and precise.  The replies received were also brief and to the point.

The following are examples of the brief notes written by the learners (task 7)

Dear Pranav,
Do you know my best friend?  He has black hair and black eyes.  He is tall and thin.  He is good at studies.  He also plays cricket.
          Yours,
          Sanjay

Dear Sanjay,
 Thanks for your letter. I think your friend is Amit. Am I correct?
        With love,
        Pranav
