Subject: Bad treatment of senior citizens by their children
Sir
Through the esteemed column of your newspaper I wish to draw the attention of concerned authorities towards the pity situation of senior citizens in our neighbourhood who are humiliated by their own children.
I didn’t believe that if any child could ill-treat their parents, those who taught us how to stand on our feet. Senior citizens were locked inside the house by their son who went to office and there was gas leakage inside the house, but fortunately they were saved. Recently, an old man got a heart attack and aunty was shouting for help from the window. Mr. Gupta also filed a complaint about the torture done by their daughter in law who forced them to do household chores. Nothing could be worse than this grave situation of senior citizens. Are we Supposed to behave like this with them?
I hope my letter will find a suitable column in your newspaper so that appropriate measures could be taken by the authority.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely
Harsh

Mam,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper ,i want to grab the attention of the people and concerned authorities . Some senior citizens living in my neighbourhood are badly neglected and humiliated by their own children. Such incidents have badly touched my heart . There were many incidents that forced me to write this letter .One old couple was locked behind the door by their own son who went to office and there was gas leakage inside the house but fortunately the couple was saved .One day an old men got heart attack and his wife was shouting for help from the window .Many people have complaining about the ill treatment done by their children. Mr Gupta complained about the tortured done by his daughter- in- law and forced them to perform all the domestic chores .
I therefore request you to give suitable column so that it draw attention of the concerned authorities and preventative steps can be taken against this same .
Error analysis:
1. You get 3 out of 5 marks.
2. Make it a habit to write the first letter of any place, name etc in capital letter.
3. Subject is too long- It’s not an application- Ill-Treatment of Senior Citizens.
4. You can’t lock someone behind the door- ‘locked inside the room’.
5. Focus on sentence formation. Free writing tool Grammarly would be helpful.

Sir
Through the esteemed column of your newspaper I want to draw the attention of People and concerned authority towards the pity situation of senior citizens in our nieghbourhood who are neglected and humiliated by their own children.
In todays modern world children are seldom concerned about their parents rather they are busy in their work and enjoying the life. I didn’t believe that if any child could ill-treat their parents, those who taught us how to stand on our feet. But some current heart touching incidents have made me to do so .Recently a senior citizen couple was locked inside the house by their son who went to office and there was gas leakage inside the house, but fortunately they were saved .A week ago only, A old man got a heart attack and aunty was shouting for help from the window. The most fascinating one was when senior citizens were forced by their daughter to do household chores. Mr. Gupta also filed an complaint about it.
Nothing could be more worse than this grave situation of senior citizens.
I would appeal people to think hard if this had to be done with them?
I don’t think so.
Therefore ,I request you to give a suitable column in your newspaper and thus grab the attention of concerned authorities so that appropriate measures could be taken against these children if found guilty.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely
Harsh

Dear Sir,
Through the column of your newspaper, i would like to highlight that some senior citizens living in my neighborhood are badly neglected and humiliate by their own children.Such incidents are repeatedly being saying and have touched my heart.
I have seen that children go out for shopping,having party with their friends,playing games,and many more things but some of them do not tell these to their parents.They are locked inside their house and a care taker is left behind.Yesterday, the same seen and the old mother had a severe heart attack due to the linkage of gas inside the house.Some of them tie their parents tie them withe ropes and do not give them adequate food and water to stay alive.Mr. Gupta of adjoining flat complained of the torture on the senior citizens by their daughter in law. She forced them to perform all the household chores.
I hope my letter would find a suitable place in your newspaper.So that concerned authority can take appropriate steps.
Yours Sincerely
Harsha
Essayshout gives you 3 marks.
1. I told earlier also- COLUMNS of newspaper.
2. heart attack due to leakage is incorrect- both are two different things- can’t be clubbed together.
3. the old mother?- AN OLD WOMAN in our society.
4. Don’t go into this much extreme- tying with rope etc- it seems too much.
