My country

28 Aug 2022

My country is Sri Lanka. It is a small island in the Indian Ocean. It is an agricultural country. Most of the people in the country are farmers. Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte is the legislative capital of Sri Lanka. The population of my country is about 20 million. There are several communities in Sri Lanka. They are the Sinhalese, the Tamils, the Muslims, and the Burghers. Pidurutalagala is the highest mountain and Mahaweli is the longest river in Sri Lanka. We gained independence in 1948. My country is a republic. Our national anthem is ‘Sri Lanka Matha’. The official languages in Sri Lanka are Sinhala, Tamil, and English. Our national flag is called the Lion Flag. Our national flower is the blue water lily; our national tree is the Na tree, the national bird is the jungle fowl, the national animal is the giant squirrel, and our national sport is volleyball. However, Sri Lanka is famous for cricket. The world’s best team comes from Sri Lanka. There are many tourist attractions in my country. Waterfalls, sanctuaries, botanical gardens, and sandy beaches are some of them. I love my country very much.   Nadhil Aupama Grade 8D Asoka College Colombo 10
