Dowry system

Dowry system

                   My name is ARUN KUMAR. I live in FAZILKA. I am a student of 10^th class in DC DAV public school. Today I am going to share my views on dowry system. Dowry system is a big danger for any country. Due to this, many girls killed by them self. This is not so good for any country. In this time most of the people are greedy they ask for money from girl`s parents. Some parents are not able to accept their offer. So they put more pressure on girls. This is harmful to our country.

      Now must think about this danger because this is our responsibility to tell everyone about this Problem. I am trying to say that the student is the strongest base of any country. A student is the future of every country there for the future of our country in our hands.

       Now government takes action again this type of danger. Last year many families were arrested for dowry system. This is very important for every people to fight against dowry system to saves the life of many girls. I and this article with this hope that my country will free from this type of danger

Dear Faheem,

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

I received a phone call from your class in-charge, Mr. Saleem. He told me some unexpected things about you. It hurts me to know from him that you often miss your classes. You have even failed in English and Computer in terminal tests.

He claimed that you pay more attention in outdoor sports and partying.  You should be ashamed of your ways. We have strong hopes in you. Father wants to see you a doctor. Mother keeps on talking about your every time. She prays for your success. Please note that we do not expect such things from you.

I warn you to mend your ways. Work hard and win the admiration of your teachers and parents. Stop all the unnecessary activities and pay heed to your studies. Give much of your focus to your studies and make up your deficiency.

I hope I you will not give me a chance to say this again to you.

God bless you.

Yours affectionately,

Dear Friend,

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

I am shocked to hear the sad news of your mother’s death. I could not believe that at once. I am greatly grieved on this tragedy of your life. Mother is a blessing of God but the divine rules are absolute. We are unable to understand Allah’s plans.

She was a nice lady. She had a great heart. She was so social and loving. I can remember her soft and sweet dialect. She always loved me as her own son. She prayed for everyone and gave wise counsels to others.

Her death is such a loss as cannot be recompensed.  I advise you to bear this misfortune with patience. Set your goals of life and do not let her soul feel bad of you. Nothing but the time alone can soother your sorrow. All my sympathies are with you.

May her soul rest in peace

Yours sincerely,

X.Y.Z

Dear Farah,

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

I was really upset to know that you are not going with the school trip due to your cousin’s marriage. We are going to miss you on the trip. If you had gone with the trip, it would have been the nicest trip of our school period. Anyhow, take your time to share some enjoyable moments with your family. We are departing for our trip next Saturday. There will be one week stay in Murree.

You once told me that you have two cameras your elder brother brought from Korea last year. Actually my camera is not working fine. This trip is special to me as I am going to Murree first time in my life. I want to take photographs of all beautiful places in Murree. I need a good quality camera to get nice snaps.

I request you to lend me one of your cameras for a week. I will use it with care as I know how much costly it is. It will be a nice facilitation from you.  I will return it to you as soon as I come back from the trip.

Thanks in advance.

Yours Sincerely
