SAMPLE 1/1
Today I want to talk about my country. I live in India, and I love my country very much.
India is a beautiful country. It has big mountains, long rivers, and many green trees. We have many animals like tigers, elephants, and peacocks. I love the nature of India.
My country has different cultures and languages. People speak Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and many more languages. But still, we all live together like one big family.
I love the festivals in India. We celebrate Diwali, Onam, Holi, Eid, and Christmas. During festivals, I wear new clothes, eat sweets, and have fun with my friends and family.
Our food is also very tasty. I like idli, dosa, biryani, and laddus! I feel proud when I see our national flag and sing the national anthem.
I love my country because it is full of colors, joy, and love. I feel happy and proud to be an Indian.
Thank you! ”
