No matter how many obstacles, breakdowns and problems come in our lives, we should have the strength and self-confidence to overcome them and move forward. Behind every unsuccessful person is a successful person. They have been many people in this world who have conquered life in the midst of failure. Let's ask about one of them. Thomas Alva Edison was the first person to discover the light bulb. He failed 999 times on his way to find the light bulb, and his experiments were successful on the thousandth time. When many asked him " How do you keep trying even if you fail every time", he replied " Every time it didn't work, I found a new way to make the light bulb go off". We should never give up in the face of failure. Failure should always be thought of as challenges. If you do so, you will...

The country I would like to visit

Image
I have heard and read a lot about the beautiful countries in the world. However, the country I would like to visit is Great Britain. My choice is based on the following reasons. The first reason I became interested in this country was because my father worked in the UK. Another reason is my school years as English was one of the subjects studied at school. The pictures of the old buildings in textbooks have inspired me and visiting this country has become somewhat of a dream for me. Most of all I'd like to visit London and its sights. Among them, there are Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, and the Tower of London. London is situated on the river Thames. I would like to visit all the famous museums in London as well, especially British Museum. I could see many historical heritages gathering from all over the world there. Moreover, London has a good public transportation system, underground and double-deck buses. ...

We always talk and ask if we are doing well. She always helps me make good decisions. And also give advice. I have had several bast friends in my life. But she is the best friend I ever felt. I hope this friendship lasts forever.

My village

Image
I am in Manikonda. My village is located in the Kalutara district of the Western province. My village is very beautiful with natural beauty. There is a big paddy field below my house. A river flows by the paddy field. My sister and I used to fly kites in those fields. And there is a beautiful mountain range. There is a school, a temple and a divisional hospital in our village. Although I live in Colombo now, I prefer to live in my village. Our village full of greenery is like heaven to me. I love the cold wind coming from that environment. I have no words to describe the beauty of the village during new year. That time is a refreshing time for the whole environment. My village is my favorite place to spend my life.
