 Dear Penpal,

Thank you for your letter and for sharing your experience in Sirajganj. It was fascinating to read

about your life and how you were able to revisit the place where you spent your childhood. It

sounds like it was an emotional experience for you, and I can imagine how much it must have

meant to you to see the places where you have so many memories.

It's interesting how buildings and places can hold so much emotion and nostalgia for us, even

as they change over time. It's also true that change is a constant in our lives, and it can be

difficult to see the things we love and cherish change or disappear altogether. But as you said,

these changes are a part of life, and we have to learn to accept them even as we hold onto our

memories and the emotions that they bring.

Since you have talked about Sirajgani, I figure that I should talk about Glasgow, where I live.

Glasgow is the second biggest city in Scotland and is considered as the ‘Commercial Capital’ of

Scotland. It’s thoroughly rich in history and culture.

Firstly, let me tell you that Glasgow is a city like no other. It has a unique character and charm

that sets it apart from other cities in the UK. Glasgow is often referred to as the "dear green

place" because of its abundance of parks and green spaces. We have the famous Kelvingrove

Park, Glasgow Green, and Pollok Country Park, to name just a few. These parks are perfect for

a leisurely stroll, a picnic with friends, or just a quiet moment to yourself.

Another thing that makes Glasgow special is its people. Glaswegians are known for their

warmth, humor, and generosity. We have a strong sense of community here, and it's not

uncommon to strike up a conversation with a stranger on the street. We are proud of our

heritage and culture, and we celebrate it through music, art, and food. Glasgow is home to

some of the best restaurants, cafes, and bars in the UK, offering a wide range of cuisines to suit

every taste.

Glasgow is also a city of contrasts. We have a rich industrial history, and our architecture

reflects this with stunning Victorian buildings such as the Glasgow City Chambers and the

Mitchell Library. However, we also have modern and contemporary buildings like the SSE Hydro

and the Glasgow Science Centre. Glasgow is a city that is always evolving and changing, yet it

never forgets its roots.

Lastly, I must mention our beloved football clubs, Celtic and Rangers. The rivalry between these

two clubs is fierce, and on match days, the city is awash with the colors of green and blue. It's

an experience like no other, and even if you're not a football fan, you can't help but get caught

up in the excitement.

I could go on and on about Glasgow, but I'll stop here for now. I hope this letter has given you a

small glimpse into what makes Glasgow such a special place.

Thank you again for writing to me and for sharing your story. I look forward to hearing more

about your life and experiences.

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
