Books are our friends/My hobby/ Leisure Time

Activity
My hobby is reading books. Last week I visited the Book Fair at BMICH. There were many
books. My favourite book is Madol Duwa. We can learn many things from the books. Books
open a new world for us. So, books are our good friends.I read story books, magazines,
newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting.I learnt about the wonders of
the world, space travel, human achievements, gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other
fascinating things of our world.

Sinhala and Hindu New Year.

The Sinhalese and the Hindus celebrate the New Year on the 13th or 14th of April. This
festival lasts about two weeks. People prepare various traditional sweetmeats and eat them
along with milk rice. Both adults and children wear new clothes on this day. People worship
elders go to temple and do many other things at auspicious time. I like this festival because
it promotes peace and harmony.

The Great Wall of China

since 700 B.C. The wall is 21196 km long and is made of stone ,brick,wood,tampered
earth etc.It is said, that, this is the only structure on the earth that can be seen from

earth’s surface. The deepest known part on the earth, the Mariana Trench is in this
ocean. Its lowest point is called the Challenger Deep. The largest coral reef in the world

A trip I went (A place you visited)

I went to Nuwara Eliya with my family last week. We went by train. We passed streams,
waterfalls,tea states and mountains, etc on our way. We reached Nuwara Eliya the next
day. It was very cold and we wore jearseys. On the next day we went to see the animal
