You are Riya/Raj. Your younger brother Arif seldom reads newspapers and thinks they are boring. You want to convince him that reading newspapers is useful for his studies, general knowledge, and future career. Prepare materials to persuade him and to help him start the habit.

a. Write a friendly letter to Arif explaining why he should start reading newspapers regularly. Use a persuasive but caring tone and include a few concrete suggestions (which section to start with, how much time to spend daily).

b. List and explain five specific benefits of reading newspapers that would appeal to a young student preparing for competitive exams and interviews.

c. Read the following short front-page news summary and write a concise 5–6 sentence paraphrase suitable for Arif that highlights the most important facts. "The city council inaugurated the new riverside metro line on 1 September. Officials reported the line will cut commuter time by up to 30% and carry an estimated 200,000 passengers daily. The project faced delays due to funding shortages and technical issues but was completed after a revised budget and additional contractors were approved. Environment groups praised the plan for including green corridors along the route, while some local vendors worried about reduced foot traffic. The council promised ongoing support for affected businesses and launched a commuter awareness campaign."

d. Suggest a simple 7-day plan to help Arif begin a daily newspaper habit, including specific activities for each day and measurable goals.
