Dear Neha,

I hope you and your family are well. I am writing to tell you about something our games teacher explained to us last week — the real advantages of sports and games.

Sports make us more capable and efficient. When we run, swim or play kabaddi, our blood circulation improves and our body becomes strong. They also remove mental exhaustion, so that after an hour on the field we can sit down to study with a fresh and peaceful mind. Games teach us team spirit, discipline and patience, and they teach us to accept defeat without losing heart.

You told me that you have stopped playing badminton because of your board examination. I would request you not to give up the game. Half an hour of play every evening will refresh you and help you concentrate better.

Do write back and tell me which game you have decided to take up again. Give my regards to uncle and aunt.

Yours lovingly,
Sohini
