Read the following letter:
[Tina lives in a town called Halol. It is surrounded by small villages, and it is not Jar from Vadodara. Last month, Tina visited a village fair near Halol. After a Jew days, she visited a Trade Fair in Vadodara. She wrote a letter to her Friend Meena, who lives in Bhuj.
Halol,
25 July, 2014
Dear Meena,
Thank you for your letter of 15th July. I was happy to read about your visit to Dholaveera.
I visited two different fairs last month, and I want to tell you about them.
First, I visited a village fair between Halol and Pavagadh. We went there in an autorickshaw. There were two small temples outside a small village. I went there with my parents. We reached there in the evening. The open ground between l the two temples was full of people.
There were many shops – toy shops, sweet shops and a colourful bazaar of household items. Some children were standing in front of a toy shop. They were looking at a small plane. The shopkeeper was showing them the plane. The children laughed with joy and clapped loudly.
We also saw a merry-go-round and a giant-wheel. The merry-go-round was quite small, but the giant-wheel was really huge. The place was full of noise. There were many loudspeakers playing film songs. There were many children in the giant- wheel. They were shouting in excitement. We saw a juggler, too. He was playing with five balls and was keeping all of them in the air. It was wonderful.
After some days, we visited a trade fair in Vadodara. It was a school trip. We went there on a Sunday. We went by a bus. There was no entry fee. The whole ground was full of large stalls. There were many stalls of electronic goods like TV, VCR and music systems. The girls on the counters were well-dressed. They were answering the questions of visitors with a smile.
There was another row of stalls for things like fridge and washing machines. One salesman was demonstrating the use of a mixer-grinder. Two young women were asking him some questions.
We went round and saw everything. At the other end of the fair, there were some fast-food stalls. My friends ordered pizza and I ordered a glass of lassi. We sat down for a while and savoured the food. There were a couple of sweet shops, but we did not buy any sweets. We came back in the evening. OK, I will stop now. Convey my regards to your parents.
Yours sincerely,
Tina.

Nadiad,
12 June, 2013
Dear Jatin,
Thank you for your letter telling me about your visit to Mumbai. It was interesting. I am sure you had a good time. During the summer holidays, I visited my uncle and aunt in Patan. It is a small town, which is famous for its patolas.
I went to Patan with my family. We travelled by car from Nadiad to Patan. We reached Patan in the afternoon. Almost all the shops in the main bazaar were shut. There was hardly any traffic because of the heat. We reached my uncleās house in Ganpati ni Pol, which is right in the middle of town. During my visit to Patan, I saw many interesting places like the Ranki Vav, the Sahsatraling Talav.
These two places are so beautiful. My uncle also told us about the history of these places. We also visited the family which makes the beautiful patolas, which are famous all over the world. I really enjoyed watching the whole process of making a patola. It is really hard work! I enjoyed my trip to Patan. Now I end my letter. Do convey my regards to your parents.
Yours lovingly,
Ajay.
