Your class teacher has fallen sick and has not been attending school for a week. Write
a letter to him/her enquiring after his/her health; how you miss his/her classes and
what has taken place in the class in his/her absence.

Dear (teacher's name), your absence from the class makes the class feel much less lively... we cannot wait for your return. We all hope you feel better! While you were gone the class did (you can fill this up with whatever your class has been up to). We hope you get better really soon and miss you very much!

- Sincerely, (your name)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
