I hope you and your family are keeping well. It has been long that I met you and now due to this pandemic situation it’s almost impossible. But don’t worry we are also keeping well. Due to this situation, I want to suggest you something. As your board exam is coming next year and now you have only one study option that is online classes.

It will help you gain more knowledge . Continue your online classes and also continue visiting the library and collecting more books. Also you can increase your general knowledge by reading g.k books. Hope you will listen my advice and send me a letter soon.
