Writing a letter to your friend about your country.

22 May 2012

Mohakhli, Dhaka.

Dear Jimy.

How are you? Your letter is just to my hand. Hope you all are well. In your letter you want to know about my country. Now I am writing about my country, Bangladesh. It became independent in 1971. Dhaka is its capital. It is a small country. Its land area is 1,47,570 square kilometres. But it has a large population. About 140 million people live here. Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country. Its main crops are rice, jute, sugar-cane and tea. Many kinds of fruits also grow here. Jack-fruits, mangoes, bananas, pine-apples, guavas and water-melons are the most common. My country has also many rivers. The main rivers are the Padma, the Meghna, the Jamuna and the Karnaphuli. There are many varieties of fishes in these rivers. We have many interesting as well as beautiful places. The Sundarbans, Rangamati and Cox’s Bazar are very attractive. The Royal Bengal Tiger lives in the Sundarbans. The Cox’s Bazar beach is the longest beach in the world. It is about 120 kilometres long. Many people visit these places every year. Bangladesh is a peaceful country. People from different communities live here in peace. I love my country very much.

No more today. Convey my respect to your parents and love to the younger.

Yours lovingly,

 

Mahbub.
