Suppose, you are Simon. Your friend Jihan has recently been awarded a scholarship in Japan. Write a letter to him expressing concerns about cultural identity and emotional distance.

উত্তর: 21 March 2026 Dinajpur, Rangpur Dear Jihan, I've been meaning to write to you ever since I heard the news about your scholarship. First of all. I want you to know how proud I am of you. Studying in Japan is an incredible (অবিশ্বাস্য) opportunity. and you deserve every bit of it. That said, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have mixed feelings. Part of me is excited for you, but another part feels uneasy, mostly because I worry about how far this journey might take you from the person and the place you've always called home. Japan has a rich and beautiful culture, but it's also very different from ours, and I wonder (মনে মনে ভাবা) how easy it will be to hold on to your own sense of identity while trying to adapt and belong. I'm also a little afraid of the emotional distance that might grow between us. Time zones, busy schedules, and new friendships can quietly stretch bonds thinner than we expect. I don't want our conversations to turn into rare updates or polite check-ins. Your presence has always mattered to me and the thought of slowly drifting apart is hard to ignore. I hope, wherever you are. you'll remember that you don't have to become someone else to succeed there. Carry your language, your habits, your values with you-they're part of what makes you who you are. And please don't forget us back here, still cheering you on, still wanting to hear your thoughts, your struggles, and your small everyday stories. Take care of yourself. Jihan. Write when you can. You'll find me always beside you. Your friend, Simon
