Letter to the Editor: Road Accidents and Rash Driving
Writing a letter to the editor on road accidents and rash driving is part of the Class 9 English Grammar syllabus, aiming to develop responsible writing on civic issues. This letter reflects growing public concerns about road safety and urges action from the authorities. Students are encouraged to raise awareness and present possible solutions using formal tone and structure.
Grammar Focus Points
The grammar focus includes the use of present perfect tense, modals such as “must,” “should,” “ought to”, and passive voice. Vocabulary related to accidents like “reckless,” “fatal,” and “violation of traffic rules” is practiced to enhance the learner’s language expression in formal communication.
Letter Layout
Begin the letter with your address and the date. The editor’s address follows on the left.
