Comparison of City and Village

Image
Love To Live In a  Village From ages, it is seen that the lifestyle between a village and a city varies. There is a huge difference in the way of living between the people living in the cities and villages. When we talk about village and city, the village is I like the most. Village is not richer from facilities than the city. I have to agree with that. But in my opinion the village is better in many ways than the city. The reason why the village is better than the city is because I was born in the city and grew up in the city since then. So I know what the city is like. Living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages. It's the same in the village. But I think village is better than city. Because even though the city has all the facilities, the village has less environmental pollution, more natural beauty, there is fresh air to breathe, in short there is a healthy environment in the village. That is why I prefer the village to the city. In the village we can take a cleaner...

My Future Goals

Image
The Way I Want To Live In The Future Human beings have had goals since childhood. Often they are not just goals. They are dreams that we strive to make come true. We all know that when many children are asked who they want to be in the future, the answers they get are doctor, engineer, teacher, lawyer, pilot and etc. But as we gradually mature in age and knowledge, our goals are completely different from each other. Because, when we grow up, we are motivated to pursue various goals due to the environment we live in, the education we receive, the people we associate with, and various events that happen in life.  As for me, I have many such goals. As mentioned earlier, when someone asked me as a child who I would like to be in the future, my answer was a doctor. But now it's completely different. Now my first main goal is to become a good music teacher. I have a strong desire to become a music teacher and start a music academy. That goal has been with me ever since I started studying...

My Pet Dog

Image
Toby I'm very fond of animals. People keep various kinds of animals as pets. Some people keep birds, others keep cats. Many people keep dogs as pets. I too have a pet dog. Even since I was little I liked dogs. Dogs are one of the most loyal animals.  A dog is known as man’s best friend because of the way dogs are loyal and friendly to their masters. For the families that have dogs, they are not just pet animals, but a true member of their family.  My pet is Toby. He will be 6 years old by this 5th of September. He is about 2 feet tall and he has a golden brown coat. His breed is terrier. He was really cute when he was a puppy and he was always in my arms those days. He's still as cute as those days.  Now, he is really playful and a brave dog. He's not afraid of any dog in our area. But those dogs are afraid of him. He can run very fast. Even with a vehicle. Not only that he can understand many sinhala words that we usually say. He's loved by everyone in our area because...

Stress

Image
  The life full of stress Stress ; A very familiar word, isn't it? Yes, it definitely should be. Because there is hardly anyone who doesn't have it these days. Its creates physical and emotional effects in our daily lives. So let's consider the stress that education puts on us as children who are still learning. Since anyone at any age can be stressed there is no certain population that is effected the most. Because nowadays even small children have stress. Especially in a country like Sri Lanka it is felt more. The reason is that with the education system in Sri Lanka, children are under stress right from pre-school. And they get used to the competition from the age of three, four. From grade three, the child is sent to as many classes as possible to prepare for scholarship exam in grade 5.  After that, when they go to classes after school, the children are under a lot of stress. Children have no freedom even after coming home from classes. Because there is homework in sch...

Independence Arcade

Image
An Eye Catching Place  In  Colombo The Independence Arcade is a shopping complex in Colombo. It has been created to fulfill a unique requirement. That is to create "one space" where entertainment, shopping, leisure and dining can all be offered to please the requirements of an entire family.  This place is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful shopping malls in Sri Lanka. This beautiful colonial building is full of beautiful shops and has the best tea lounge I have ever experienced. I have visited here several times with my boyfriend  and friends and it can be said that it is a place with an attractive environment to relieve our fatigue. This is a great photo spot and is located in the middle of Colombo. Its actually a nice place to hang around.  The buildings are surrounded by green lawns, tall trees and flawless paved floors scattered with some very cool furniture. The central spot has got fountains and even a fish-tank that we can look at while walking on top...

My Family

The place where life begins  and love never ends A family is a group of people mostly living together and sharing an emotional bond. There are large and small families, and they can be nuclear or extended. Families made up of a mother, a father, and their children are called nuclear families. A family consisting of mother, father, children and grandparents is called an extended family. I live in a joint family. There are six members in my family which includes father, mother, sister, grandfather,  grandmother and me.  We all live happily and peacefully together. My family has been always by my side in ups and downs. They have taught me how to be a better person. For me, family is the first school in my life.  My father's name is N.A.Sisira.

Last School Trip

Image
An Unforgettable Day In School Life Four years ago, a two-day trip was organized by the art section of my school, Gampaha Rathnawali Balika Vidyalaya. This trip was the last trip of our school life. Therefore so many memories were gathered during this trip and it was an unforgettable trip in my life.  All students came to school at 4.30 a.m. We started our journey at 5.00 a.m. We took our breakfast in the bus. First we went to Peradeniya Botanical Garden at 1.00 p.m. We saw various types of beautiful flowers and trees and we took lot of pictures of them. Then we had lunch and left the garden at 4.00 p.m.  Next we went to Gregory Park. We had a lot of fun there. We sung songs, danced and did many many fun things. As I think Lake Gregory is among the best places to visit in Nuwara Eliya. After having fun we went to the cottage. We had our dinner at there. After the dinner me and my friends watched a horror movie and went to sleep. It got colder at night and it was quite difficul...

My Hometown

Image
 Wattala Wattala is my Hometown and I am deeply in love with my hometown. I grew up in this area since I was born. It is a large suburb of Colombo city, in Western Province, situated around 9 km from Colombo city centre. Around Wattala, there are many villages and towns, such as Kerawalapitiya, Hendala, Hunupitiya, Bopitiya, Elakanda and etc.   I think wattala is a great place for me for many reason. Wattala is a densely populated area. Having all the facilities at hand, makes daily activities easy. Schools, Banks, Supermarkets, Bakeries, Restaurants, Cafes, Hospitals, Private  dispensaries it’s all there in around Wattala. The town is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet it is a key urban centre with all the conveniences and facilities. There are many Churches, Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, Mosques are spread throughout the area. Though it is a majority Roman Catholic area, people of many faiths live here in peaceful.  Wattala has a combination of Gov...

My Hobbies

Image
My Leisure Time Activities Leisure is the time when a man is free from routine work and can do whatever he like best. In a word, it is a temporary relief from the monotonous routine task of our daily life. People like to spend their leisure in their own way.  Different people have different hobbies in their leisure time. Having a hobby is an essential thing for human life. Because, today all the people lead a hectic life. They have very little time to spend with their family. Therefore, they feel very lonely. Hobbies are very helpful to relax our mind and decrease our stress. I have many useful activities to do in my leisure time, such as playing musical instruments, shopping, listening to music, reading books, gardening, watching television and etc.  Among them playing musical instruments is my most favorite hobby. First I started playing the organ when I was ten years old and still really enjoy it. it’s a perfect way to relax and cheers me up when I’m feeling down. And one o...

School Life

The Happiest Period of  My Life  My school days were the best of my life. I still remember the first day of school very well. My first school was Nayakakanda Primary Girls School . Its memories are still alive. I still remember how warmly I was welcomed on the first day of school. And I cried like a little baby that day. As a child, I learned many important things from my school. Not only that, many teachers in the school loved me very much. That's why I will never forget the memories of my primary school life. After that I attended to Wattala Good Shepherd Convent from 6th grade. I studied in that school from 6th grade to 11th grade. I think it's a beautiful time for all of us. I spent most of my school life in that school. I have learned many lessons in my life from that school. Especially discipline. As a girl I should say discipline is a must. It's like a jewel .   Wattala Good Shepherd Convent I studied well in that school and also participated in many  extracu...
