15, Unity Road, Ikeja, Lagos. 12th October, 2022. Dear Chidi, I was deeply saddened when I heard that your uncle had passed away. I am writing to share in your grief and to let you know that my family and I are thinking of you. Your uncle was a kind man who cared about your education and paid your school fees without complaint. His death is a great loss to you and your family, and I understand how heavy your heart must be. Please accept my sincere condolences. Although this is a painful time, there are ways to cope with the situation. First, hold on to the good memories of your uncle and make him proud by working hard in school. Second, speak to your parents and your head teacher about your fees. Many schools offer payment plans, scholarships or help for pupils in difficulty, and your teachers will want to help you. Third, you and your family can consider small ways of raising money, such as helping with a family business during the holidays, or asking close relatives for support. Finally, keep praying and stay close to people who love you, because you do not have to carry this burden alone. Remember that your uncle's wish was to see you succeed, and you can still make that wish come true. Please call me if you need anything, and I will always be ready to help. May his soul rest in peace. Yours sincerely, Tunde.

WHAT I PLAN TO DO AFTER THE BASIC EDUCATION CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION (BECE) The Basic Education Certificate Examination is the end of my junior secondary school, and it is also the beginning of a new stage in my life. I have thought carefully about what I want to do after it. First, I plan to go into Senior Secondary School and study science subjects, because I want to become a medical doctor. I will choose a good school that has laboratories and well-trained teachers. In the senior school I will take Mathematics, English, Biology, Chemistry and Physics seriously, as I will need good grades to enter university. During the long holiday after the examination, I also plan to learn a skill, such as computer programming or tailoring, so that I can use my time well and earn some money. To achieve these plans, I will first pray and work hard to pass the BECE with good grades. I will read my books every day, do my homework, and ask my teachers when I do not understand a topic. I will also join the school science club to learn more, and I will avoid bad friends and anything that can distract me from my studies. I will ask my parents and my teachers for advice so that I choose the right school. In conclusion, success does not come by chance. If I plan well, work hard and stay focused, I am sure I will reach my goal of becoming a doctor who helps people in my community.
