My dear Suman,
Hope you are all well with the blessings of God. We are also fine here. It has been our habit to exchange ideas on different matters. Today I want to share with you the benefits of visiting libraries. I know there is a public library in your area. It’s a storehouse of different types of books. So for any kind of reference book of your syllabus you can go there. Again, sometimes for regaining freshness reading story books is very good for us. So I suggest you visit the library whenever you can manage to get some time. A good habit will gradually build up. I hope you will consider my appeal with enough importance. Reply soon.
Your friend,
Debashish Roy

Ans:
Benefits Of Early Morning Exercises
To lead a healthy life, we have to follow a routine in our daily life. Getting up early in the morning is important. In the early morning the air is fresh and mostly pollution-free, light breeze blows, and the first slanting rays of the sun fall on the earth from the eastern sky. All these are beneficial to our health. In addition to that, exercises help us a lot. Some free-hand exercises keep our body fit for the day. Through exercises in the morning we can avoid different types of diseases. For students, exercises in the morning help to increase their concentration on studies. So everyone should try to follow a routine in which early morning exercise forms a vital part.
