My dear Sneha,
How are you? I hope everything is fine. Last week I was busy celebrating the 68th Independence Day in our school. On this occasion, cultural programmes like dance and singing competitions were held. Students of lower classes participated in paying tribute to soldiers who struggled for the country’s freedom. I also participated in drawing posters on the freedom struggle. Freedom fighters are considered heroes who helped the nation to get freedom. A salute to all the soldiers who lost their lives for the country. We had a great day. Convey my regards to your parents. Please do write back soon.
Your loving friend
