Good afternoon, everyone. Today I'm going to talk about my country Sri Lanka. It is an island with an area of 25,332 square miles and a population of 12,510,000 people. It is just smaller in area than Scotland. The island of Sri Lanka lies off the southeast coast of India and is separated from the mainland by the Palk Strait. People who live there sometimes call it by an old name which means "golden island". Sri Lanka is considered to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
What is the climate like there? It is totally different from the climate in Britain. Britain has a temperate climate. As Sri Lanka lies not very far north of the equator, the climate of the island is tropical. It is hot all the year round. Heavy rains fall during the monsoon season, making the climate hot and humid. Consequently, vegetation grows dense and thick, and the jungle is so impenetrable in parts of the island that it is difficult to proceed without cutting a path with a machete, a large, heavy knife with a broad blade. |
