We have a blackboard on which we can use chalks, it can open and close.

I am 12 years old. I read in class VI. Oh !! I forget to tell my name. My name is Rimsa Shrestha.
 

We are 165 students in our school. Our school time is from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

There are more poor and orphan people.

Our school is big. We all students wear a school uniform. We have rules for the school.

My school is full of facilities, so I am very happy to study in my school.

We think we are very lucky and very happy to have the chance to study in this school.

I like school because there are many friends. We have many teachers. Some are good and some are bad.

Teachers are lovely for all students and they teach good.

Sometimes, out teachers take us out of hostel to visit some new places.

In holiday, we play basketball, football and watch TV.

There is a forest behind our home. Sometimes, behind our house, fox also come. There is field also near our house.

The capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, is crowded with people and vehicles.

Our country is very good but polluted.

In Nepal, many people are spending a miserable life...

There are different types of people like Tamang, Sherpa, Tharu, etc.

Note : different ethnic groups.

Due to the diversity in terms of culture, natural resources, climate, etc, Nepal is even called a world in itself.

Here we can find various types of things like Mount Everest and deep valleys.

Nepal is a well-renowned country in respect its natural beauty, his culture and even to be the country of Lord Buddha (Light of Asia). (...) Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bhaktapur are the main cities (of Nepal).

Because of the climate change, the Himalayas are flowing day by day and forme glacier lake, ponds, etc.

Have a nice day...
