Subject: Concern Over Decline in Students’ Writing Habits

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am Vidhi, a resident of B/66 Mall Road, Guwahati, and a concerned parent of a Grade X student. I wish to highlight the alarming decline in writing habits among students due to excessive reliance on digital platforms. This affects their ability to think critically and express creatively.

To address this, schools must encourage regular handwriting practice, conduct creative writing competitions, and integrate reading periods into daily timetables. These efforts will improve vocabulary, comprehension, and communication skills.

I hope this concern is given serious attention through your esteemed platform.

Sincerely,
Vidhi
