Dear Meena,
Thank you for your letter of 15th July. I was happy to read about your visit to Dhola Veera.
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 auto-rickshaw. 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 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 loud speakers 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. Your sincerely,
Tina.

Dear Rahul,
How are you? I am writing this letter to tell you about my visit to Sasan Gir last month.
I went there during the Diwali vacation with my family. We traveled there by private car.
We visited the Gir National Park and went on a jungle safari. I was super excited to see Asiatic lions in the open forest! We also saw deer, peacocks, and monkeys. I liked the lion safari the most, but I disliked the dusty roads during the jeep ride.
It was a memorable trip. Convey my regards to your parents.
Your loving friend,
Aman
