Suppose you have a friend living in England. He wanted to know about the damage caused by the cyclone that swept over the coastal areas of your country.

(We write a letter telling him about the damage caused by the cyclone-‘Sidr’. Read the letter.)

Dear Donald,

I have just received your letter. In your letter you have wanted to know about the devastation caused by the recent cyclone “Sidr” Actually there is no suitable language that can describe the damage caused by Sidr. 

It has swept over the districts of coastal areas. This time this cyclone has been termed Sidr because it looked like an eye. And the very term Sidr also means eye. The cyclone of this time has broken all the records of the past. Never before did water level rise so high nor the duration was so long. Thousands of people died and many more have become homeless, foodless and clothless. Even hundreds of the world famous Royal Banal tigers and the beautiful spotted dear met watery graves due to cyclone. Almost one fourth area of  (area name) Sunderbans has been destroyed by the cruel cyclone. The miseries of the affected people know no bounds. There are now scarcity of food and pure drinking water. Crops have been damaged greatly . Herd of cattle have been washed away. Thousands of people are now living under open air, on boats and embankments etc. Moreover, many diseases like cholera, dysentery etc, have broken out here and there. They may turn in an epidemic form at any time. The affected people now badly need food, clothes, medicines, pure drinking water etc. However, the people of all walks of life have come forward to the best of their capacity to help the affected people. The cyclone has drawn the high time we took care of our environment to lead a disaster free life.

No more today.  Wishing your best of  luck.

Yours ever.
