Communication Skills (5.5 SDCT51) — Writing Models
Copy-ready formats for every writing task in Unit 5: formal and informal letters, emails, notices, posters, reports and paragraphs. Each model shows the exact format with labels — copy the structure, change the details to fit your own topic. In writing tasks, correct format alone carries a large share of the marks.
16 models: 3 Formal Letters | 2 Informal Letters | 2 Emails | 3 Notices | 2 Posters | 2 Reports | 2 Paragraphs
Hinglish me samjho: Writing me format ke marks pakke hote hain — format sahi to aadhe marks mil gaye! Har category ke upar "Format at a Glance" box diya hai — usko pehle padho, phir sample dekho. Apne assignment ya project me same format use karo, sirf details (naam, date, jagah) badal do. Formal jagah formal words (Respected Sir, Yours sincerely), doston ke liye informal words (Dear, Yours lovingly) — dono ko mix mat karo!
1. Letters — Formal and Informal
Format at a Glance — Letter
FORMAL: Sender's address (top-left) → Date → Receiver's designation and address → Salutation (Respected Sir / Dear Sir/Madam) → Subject (one line) → Body in 3 paragraphs (purpose → details → request/action) → Complimentary close (Yours sincerely / Yours faithfully) → Signature + Name (+ class/roll no. if student).
INFORMAL: Sender's address (top-left) → Date → Salutation (Dear / Dearest + name) → Body in friendly, personal tone → Close (Yours lovingly / Your loving son / Your friend) → Name. No subject line, no receiver's address.
Letters ke Hinglish tips: Formal letter hamesha 3 paragraph me likho — pehla: kaam kya hai; doosra: details; teesra: request ("I request you to kindly..."). Shabd polite rakho, order mat do. Informal letter me dil se likho — haal-chaal puchho, apni baat batao, aur ant me pyaar se close karo. Date ka format ek jaisa rakho: 14 October 2026.

A private bus overturned near Rani Bazar crossing on the morning of 13 October 2026, injuring twelve passengers, three of them seriously.

[Para 3: Conclusion]
The police have registered a case, seized the bus and started a search for the driver. Traffic on the road remained blocked for nearly two hours. The district administration has announced free treatment for the injured and ordered an enquiry into the accident.
6. Paragraphs
Paragraphs ke Hinglish tips: Har paragraph ke 3 hisse hote hain: Topic Sentence (shuru me main idea), Supporting Details (beech me examples/feeling), Concluding Sentence (ant me wrap-up). Descriptive me paanchon senses use karo — kya dikhta hai, kya sunai deta hai, kaisa lagta hai. Narrative me time order rakho — pehle kya hua, phir kya hua — aur past tense use karo. Ek paragraph = ek idea, 120-150 words kaafi hain.
Model 15 — Descriptive Paragraph: My Favourite Season (Winter)
[Topic Sentence]
My favourite season is winter, when nature looks calm and life feels peaceful.
[Supporting Details]
The mornings are cool and fresh, with soft sunlight falling on the fields and a thin layer of mist floating over the ground. I love the sight of dew drops shining like pearls on green leaves. In the afternoon, the whole family sits together in the courtyard, enjoying hot tea and roasted peanuts in the warm sun. The evenings bring a pleasant chill, and the clear night sky is full of bright, twinkling stars. Winter also brings festivals, new woollen clothes and delicious seasonal food like gajar ka halwa.
[Concluding Sentence]
Winter refreshes both the body and the mind, which is why I wait for it every year.
Model 16 — Narrative Paragraph: A Memorable Journey
[Topic Sentence]
The most memorable journey of my life was my first train trip to Jaipur with my grandfather last year.
[Supporting Details]
We boarded the early morning train, and I pressed my face to the window as green fields and small villages rushed past. Grandfather told me stories of his own childhood journeys, and time flew by. At noon, we shared the homemade food my mother had packed — it tasted better than any restaurant meal. When the train entered Jaipur in the evening, the pink buildings glowing in the sunset looked magical. We spent two days visiting the Hawa Mahal and the Amer Fort, and grandfather explained the history of every monument.
[Concluding Sentence]
That journey gave me not just beautiful memories of Jaipur, but also precious time with my grandfather that I will cherish forever.
Aakhri tip: In 16 models ko apni notebook me ek baar haath se likhkar practice karo — format ungliyon me bas jayega. Exam ya assignment me bas details badalni hain, structure yehi rahega. All the best!
