1. A message is a short piece of information that is written for someone to whom you are unable to speak for some reason. The main points of the conversation should be incorporated into the message accurately and clearly. It teaches students to retrieve and interpret information. A message can also be written based on some written inputs, instead of a telephonic conversation. For e.g. an announcement or written notes.
The format is given as follows-
-The central title should be ‘message’.
-The next lines should contain the date and time of writing the note
-Then, begin by addressing the message to the person for whom the note is being written.
-The message itself should only contain 50-60 words, and be to the point and concise.
-Then, the name of the person writing the note should be signed at the end.

                                                                   PARAGRAPH

Work should help you live, life is not to help you work more. There is so much more to do than work in life. It is not worth living if we remain staring at computer screens all the time. In fact, taking rest can actually help us work better as a lot of wasted energy is restored by resting. You can get to know yourself better if you spend some time relaxing, you can go on walks, become one with nature, and even develop new hobbies. Busy people are the only ones who miss out on all the fun. Furthermore, overworking yourself can lead to illnesses. So, make sure that you take care of your mental and physical health first.

Note:
Note: Follow the given instructions very carefully, and make sure that the required format is followed. Stick to the given word limit. Make sure all the sentences are grammatically correct.
