Solution

20 Fort Road
Mumbai 

4 March 2013 

Dear Raj,

I am fine here and hope that all of you are doing well too. I am writing to inform you about the latest process of CCE being used by the CBSE for the Secondary School Examination in its affiliated schools.
CCE aims at improving students' performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular time intervals, right from the beginning of the academic session. It employs suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance. It also encourages learning through employment of a variety of teaching aids and techniques.
The prime attraction of the CCE scheme is that there will be no Class X Board Examination w.e.f. 2011 for the students studying in CBSE’s Senior Secondary schools and who do not wish to move out of the CBSE system after Class X.
All my classmates are extremely happy and positive about this new scheme.
Hope to see you soon. I shall share the rest of the details when I meet you.
Your cousin,
Nisha
