Our country is very beautiful. It is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Our country has beautiful rivers, mountains, jungles and animals. We are very fortunate to have them. Many foreigners visit our country to see them. This nature helps protect our lives. But, some people do not think about it. They destroy the beauty of the country by putting garbage everywhere. Mosquitoes and flies breed due to this. These insects spread many diseases such as dengue, vomitting and diarrhoea. We must all get-together and keep our country clean.
