The Land You Live In
Bangladesh is a small country in South Asia by the Bay of Bengal. It became a nation in 1971 after a violent war. Its total area is 147,570 square kilometers. The Bay of Bengal is to the south, and India surrounds the other three sides, except for a small part in the southeast, which is bordered by Myanmar. Most of its land is flat, with some hills in the northeast and southeast. The country has many rivers and canals. The main big rivers are the Padma, the Meghna, and the Jamuna. Bangladesh has a tropical monsoon climate with six seasons: winter, spring, summer, rainy, autumn, and late autumn. The population is about 156 million, with the majority being Muslims and the rest Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians. Over 98 percent of the people speak Bengali, and English is also widely used. Men wear Payjama and Panjabi, while women wear Sari as the national dress. Educated people wear pants and shirts, and educated women wear Salowar and Kamiz. The country's economy relies on agriculture, with crops like jute, rice, tea, sugarcane, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, spices, wheat, potato, tobacco, and cotton. Around 80 percent of the people live in villages, and agriculture is their main occupation. The country has two main sea ports: Chittagong and Mongla. Cox's Bazar, the longest sea beach in the world, is a place of scenic beauty. Bangladesh has some world heritage sites like the Sunderbans and the Shat Gombuj Mosque of Bagerhat. Overall, the people of Bangladesh are peaceful, and I am proud of my country.
