Hello Mariom, 

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to talk about my experience with the cultural heritage of Scotland. As an 18-year-old student who has lived here for much of my life, I have experienced some of the wonderful traditions and customs that make Scotland such a unique and special place. As you have already read, I am studying at Heriot-Watt University, where I study Computer Science. 

I moved to Scotland from England as an 11-year-old, and have lived here ever since. Because of this, I have seen many things that only Scotland has, such as a fizzy drink known as Irn Bru, which is the most popular drink in Scotland. Here are some of the things about Scottish Culture and Heritage which affect Scotland to this day: One such attribute of Scottish culture is the rich history and heritage that is present in every corner of the country. From ancient castles and ruins to the stunning landscapes that have inspired countless artists and writers, Scotland is a place that truly captures the imagination. Another example is Haggis, which is a sheep's heart, liver, and lungs, combined with onions, oatmeal, and spices, and cooked inside a sheep's stomach. 

As you can see, it’s not particularly appetizing and is one of the things I am not a fan of regarding Scottish Culture One of the most popular parts of Scottish Culture is tartan. Tartan is a distinctive fabric pattern that is synonymous with Scottish culture. The traditional interlocking lines of color create a unique design that has been used for centuries to identify Scottish clans and families. From kilts and trousers to scarves and blankets, tartan is an important part of Scottish fashion, and it continues to be an important symbol of Scottish identity and heritage. Scottish history is a rich tapestry of events and characters that have shaped the country over the centuries. From the fierce battles of the Scottish rebellions against the English to the rise of the industry during the Industrial Revolution, Scottish history is something taught to children to this day. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Scottish people, and it continues to influence the culture and traditions of the country to this day. The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a legendary creature that has captured the imagination of people all over the world. Although there is no concrete evidence of its existence, the stories of sightings and encounters with Nessie continue to be a part of Scottish folklore. 

The Loch Ness Monster is a symbol of the mystery and magic that permeate Scottish culture, and it is a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring appeal of myths and legends. As you can see Scotland has very strong ties to its cultural heritage and many countries are quite intertwined with it, even if they are unaware. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Best regards, 

Sahil Amin

Hope you are well. In your letter, you have talked about climate change. After reading you, I also felt that the climate of our city has changed a lot day by day. In Rajshahi, it is too hot during summer and unbearable cold during winter. As a result, people get confused while visiting Rajshahi. But in Rajshahi, it is better not to visit during the summer season.  But now the generation has changed and there is air conditioning in every house. Now you may be wondering how people lived in such a hot area when there was no AC. I will talk about it today. You know that Rajshahi is a city that is situated along the banks of the Padma river. In the last letter, I told you about a dilapidated building 'Boro Kuthi' on the bank of the river. If you look carefully, y

  Sender:  Aryan Kamal Senders Location:  Glasgow, UK  Receiver:  Ali Haser Al-Amin Receiver Location:  Rajshahi, Bangladesh Hey there, Ali! I’m really excited to have you as my pen pal for this task. I have been asked to write you a letter about many different topics however I have chosen to tell you about energy costs and the UK inflation rates! In November 2021, I participated in a COP-26 Public Speaking event where I discussed my views on Climate Change. I avoided overheard stereotypes and used words that could be acted upon. So, following that, energy costs were one of the main topics I am still thinking of to this day. Do you think of it too? Let’s delve deeper into this. Do you know what the number one reason is why energy prices have risen so much? If you did not, it is because Russia invaded Ukraine. I found a source that stated: “between 23 February, the day before the start of the conflict, and 31 July (27 September), European gas and electricity wholesale prices increased
