Question
Overawed by the beauty of the Islands, Dr. Varun writes an e-mail to his sister Ishita who promptly responds. Draft this exchange of e-mails between them.
Solution
Dear lshita
In this e-mail I am describing about the great and unique Andaman Islands. These islands are rightly called Emerald Islands. They are full of flowers and birds unknown in the mainland. The coastline is made of coconut trees. Underwater marine life and corals are the rare gifts of these islands.
Moreover, the Andamans have a historical link too. The British made a special jail here known as Cellular Jail for those who fought for the freedom of the country. Prisoners were sent here to languish in it. Chidiya Tapu, Collinpur, Madhuban and Mount Harriet are Southern Paradise. Collinpur has a beautiful sandy beach. Madhuban is a superb trekking area. If one is interested in seeing the marine life one can snorkel, ride in glass bottom boats and do Scuba diving Mount Harriet is an ideal place for a bird's eye-view of the outer
islands and the sea.
I am eagerly awaiting your reply. I am confident that you will visit this beautiful place soon.
