6. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper sharing your views on educational reforms. Write a precis of the following with a suitable title The great advantage of early rising is the good start it gives us in our day's work. The early riser has done a large amount of hard work before other men have got out of bed. In the early morning the mind is fresh, and there are few sounds or other distractions, so that work done at that time is generally well done. In many cases the early riser also finds time to take some exercise in fresh morning air, and this exercise supplies him with a fund of energy that will last until the evening. By beginning so early he knows that he has plenty of time to do all the work he can be expected to do and is not tempted to hurry over any part of it. All his work being finished in good time, he has a long interval of rest in the evening before the timely hour when he goes to bed. He gets to sleep several hours before midnight, at a time when sleep is most refreshing and after a sound night's rest rises early next morning in good health and spirits for the labours of a new day. It is very plain that such a life as this is far more conducive to health than that of a man who shortens his working hours by rising late and so can afford in the course of the day little leisure for necessary rest. Anyone who lies in bed late, must, if he wishes to do a full day's work, go on working to a corresponding late hours and deny himself the hour or two of evening exercise that he ought to take for the benefit of his health. But inspite of all his efforts he will not probably produce a good result, as the early riser, because he misses the best working hours of the day. (Marks
