Dear John,

I hope you are in the best of your health and spirits. It's been a long time since
we met and during this lockdown I have completed many of my home
projects, and I thought that the documentary which helped me to complete
my work will also help you in your college entrance exam.

The documentary was about how the transport of​ huge c​ontainer ships work
on the canal they pass through. I found it very​ interesting a​nd it also gave me
many ideas and I was able ​to make notes for my homework​. It was very
interesting ​for me to see the working of the canal machines, it gave me a​ hug​e
amount of knowledge which I will include in my homework.

My project is about how the transport of containers take place in the water.
A​nd​ i f​ound it very easy and​ interesting t​o choose my topic and with the help
of this documentary i have easily completed my home research work.

I hope this documentary will be useful to you and hope to see you soon , give
my regards to your parents and love to young ones.

Yours faithful,

Vinayak

It has been a very interesting topic to talk about whether we should own a pet or not.
AdǀaŶƚageƐ Žf ŽǁŶiŶg a Ɖeƚ
Pets are very loyal to their owners and are part of your family. Pets are one of the best ways to
come over any type of depression or loneliness. You can play with them and take care of them like
a little baby, they also guard your house in your absence and are very loyal.
DiƐadǀaŶƚage Žf ŽǁŶiŶg a Ɖeƚ
You will need to give them food at proper times and take them for walking regularly and take care
of them. You can not go on long trips and leave them at home​͘ It will be your responsibility for
looking after them.

I think that owning a pet is a good idea if you are ready to take the responsibility of taking proper
care of them and never leaving them in any situation
