Please accept my best wishes.

My dear Father,
I received your letter yesterday. You wanted to know about my progress in studies. You will be glad to learn that I have made satisfactory progress in my studies. I am now quite up-to-date with English, Bengali and Mathematics courses. I have thoroughly prepared myself in these subjects. Physical Science and Geography were the only two subjects that caused my headache. So I concentrated hard on them.
I often went to the teachers for their assistance. I feel I have made up the deficiencies and I hope to do well in all subjects. So you need not worry about my studies.
I am all right. Please accept my regards and convey them to my mother.
Yours affectionately,
Sunil

My dear Arun,
Last Sunday I visited Nicco Park with my brother. You must know that it is a famous amusement park in Kolkata. We bought tickets and went inside. There were a few hundred children enjoying the different rides.
The rides on the ropeway and the roller coaster were very exciting. Though I felt a little nervous initially, I enjoyed the rides very much. Then there were the big swings and the car racing. There were also a large number of other items which thrilled us very much.
We had some light refreshments also in a restaurant there. We spent the whole day in the park and returned home in the afternoon. We really had a nice day. How are you? Please accept my love.
Ever yours,
Sandip
