Dear Frodi,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill,
for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think
the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You
have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow.

I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her
so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to
me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere
sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows
we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your
sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jean

Dear Jonny,

Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited
to hear that you are coming to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we
will have a lot of fun together.
My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick
you up at the airport. All you have to do is to tell us when you are coming.
I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in
Indonesia. You do not have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a
lot of fast food restaurants here like the ones you have in England.
You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M
are our famous shopping areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of
things. I am sure you will love them.
I am also planning to take you to a few tourist spots like miniature of
Indonesia, National monument, or Safari Garden. We can also go to the
Ancol beach where you can swim, play on the beach, and have picnics.
My family and I are looking forward to your coming. I hope to hear
from you soon. Good bye.

With love
Nadim

“The Importance of Recycling”

Recycling is indispensable for environmental preservation and resource
management.
By reusing materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, we can
significantly decrease waste in landfills and alleviate pollution.
This practice not only lessens the burden on waste management systems but
also mitigates the adverse effects of landfill pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions.
Moreover, recycling serves as a critical strategy for the sustainable use of finite
resources. Materials like paper and metals rely on limited resources such as
trees and ores for production.
Through recycling, we extend the lifespan of these resources and reduce
our reliance on destructive extraction methods like mining and deforestation.
Additionally, recycling offers substantial economic benefits. Recycling
industries create jobs and contribute to economic growth by turning waste into
valuable commodities.
Furthermore, recycling reduces expenses associated with waste disposal
and the production of new materials, making it a financially prudent choice for
both businesses and communities.
Overall, recycling is a cornerstone of environmental stewardship,
resource conservation, and economic sustainability.

“The Benefits of Regular Exercise”

Consistent physical activity is vital for sustaining optimal

health and overall well-being. It provides a multitude of advantages
for both physical and mental health.
Engaging in physical activity on a regular basis can improve
cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles and bones, and boost the
immune system. Furthermore, exercise is known to reduce the risk
of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types
of cancer.
A key advantage of engaging in regular exercise is its
significant contribution to enhancing cardiovascular well-being.
Physical activities such as walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling
help to strengthen the heart and improve circulation.
This reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, leading to a longer
and healthier life.
In addition to its physical benefits, exercise also plays a
crucial role in mental well-being.
Regular physical activity can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
by stimulating the release of endorphins, also known as “feel-good”
hormones.
Exercise is also associated with improved sleep quality and
cognitive function, helping to enhance overall mood and
productivity.
Moreover, regular exercise contributes to weight management and
helps to prevent obesity. By burning calories and building muscle
mass, physical activity helps individuals maintain a healthy weight
and reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions such as type 2
diabetes and hypertension.
In conclusion, regular exercise is vital for achieving and maintaining
optimal health. It offers a wide range of benefits, including improved
cardiovascular health, mental well-being, weight management, and
disease prevention. Therefore, it is important for everyone to
incorporate regular physical activity into their daily routine.
