Your Latter was delivered to me yesterday when I returned from school. I was very happy when I saw it because I know I would have hear from you since I left the Village to Lagos. How are you now? I hope you are doing fine with your studies.
In your letter, you requested from me to furnish you with information about my school to enable you decide on moving over to my school. Somehow,here are what we are enjoying in my school here in Lagos.
Firstly, the environment of my school is conducive for learning for it is so quiet and adorned by flowers all over the well catered lawns making the beautiful painted proto-type building stand out.
Besides, there is a well equipped laboratory where the different Science i.e PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY PRACTICALS can be taken with each student having his or her own cubicle.
Another notable facility in my school that distinguishes it from yours has to do with the ever - cool computer room where we are taught computer studies. In fact, I can now use computer and chat or surf, due to my email address. My E-mail address is fineboy@yahoo.com
Whatever you might be thinking, I am assuring you that if finally you decide to come to my school, I shall be helping you to meet up with the use of computer.
Greet your friends over there for me. How is your sister Comfort? I hope she is doing well in her studies. Till I hear from you, I say bye - bye for now
Yours friend

Pride goes Before a Fall.
People are never fond of anyone who is proud, over confident or over bearing. It is better to be humble than to have a superiority complex Invariably pride not only brings your downfall but also makes you look foolish. But people who are proud realize this only when they face a grave situation in life and the experience teaches them a valuable lesson.
Once there was a beautiful antelope that lived in a forest. He was very proud of his antlers and knew that it helped him look majestic. The antelope would feel very proud whenever other animals stopped by to have a look at him. He always thought that he was a special creation and all the other creatures were no match for him in looks.
But he was always discontented about his legs. He thought his legs were too thin and wished he had better-looking legs. His attitude was so haughty that the other animals did not befriend him at all. No one really liked or respected him although they did agree that he was a very good-looking antelope.
One day as he was quenching his thirst in a lake the antelope suddenly heard the sound of hunters nearby. He had been too busy admiring his reflection in the water that he had not heard the sound of the hunters earlier. Fear gripped him and he ran as fast as he could. The hunters were closing in on him but his legs were so powerful that he was much faster than them.
As he ran through the trees his antlers got caught in the branches of a tree and the antelope could not run further. He struggled to free his antlers and could hear the hunters getting closer. It was then that he realized that what he had all along thought of being his best feature was actually getting him into trouble. Whereas his legs which he had always looked down upon was actually saving his life.
Luckily with a little struggle the antelope was able to free its antlers from the branches and run to safety. The antelope realized at that moment that its pride had almost cost its life. All along, it had been very proud of its antlers and was blind to the dangers that it might bring about. Now it realized the value of being humble and was happy to be alive. Thereafter the antelope always thought very high of its legs.
(2) The morals and values of todays society have really changed.
For an example;___________________
____
The younger generation have little respect for elders, their parents or authority figures which
leads to a higher
crime rate among our children.
This is the reason there is no respect for others belongings, and
people take what they want instead of asking
for it.
The reason the morals and values are like they are in todays society, is because the parents do not take the
time to teach their children, to show respect to their elders or to show respect
for others.
They are not taught the value of family, so
instead the children
are spoiled with material belongings which puts the parents in a position of having to by them what they want regardless of the
cost this instills lack of morals and greed in ourchildren.
The rate of teen pregnancy is a lot higher and the number of women being pregnant without being married is higher than it was in years past. The lack of morals has led to the violence and
the drug use by society today. I believe that this stems from the type of
programing that our
youth are watching on television today and they are using the characters on television , and musicians as role models rather than their parents.
Another reason for the lack of morals and values is both parents have to work, due to the shape of our economy which leaves the children without proper guidance and allowing
them to learn from bad examples.
There are a lot of young parents that are into partying and so they do not supervise their children and they run lose getting into trouble. We need to instill better morals in our children and teach our youth the family values to do this we need to start spending quality time with our children, and monitor what our children are watching on television. We should spend more family time with our children either playing games,planting a garden, or helping with
their school work. We could teach children better morals and values by being a good role model for.
