Letter to the Editor: Speaking Out Against Reckless Driving
Writing a letter to the editor about reckless driving is a valuable exercise in the Grammar section for Class 9 English, as per the Federal Board’s 2025 SLO-based curriculum. This topic challenges students to use formal tone, correct sentence structures, polite vocabulary, and paragraph organization to raise awareness about traffic safety. Through this letter, learners practice how to highlight urgent civic issues, draft persuasive arguments, and propose solutions—all while maintaining grammatical accuracy and societal responsibility.
