My country
View(s):My country is Sri Lanka. It is an island in the Indian Ocean. It is called the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean.’ It is a small country. Sri Lankans are
friendly, helpful and hospitable. Sri Lanka exports tea, rubber and coconut. Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka. The country is divided into nine provinces. Our tea is popular all over the world. There are mountains, flower gardens, water falls, rivers, jungles and sanctuaries in Sri Lanka. Mahaweli is the longest river and Pidurutalagala is the highest mountain in Sri Lanka. There are many sacred places. Some of them are Kandy, Sripada, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
There are many communities in Sri Lanka. There are Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and Burghers. I wish to serve my country in the future.
