It's a beautiful spring day. Maria gets up
early. She feels happy. She knows that it's a nice day because she puts her
hand on the glass of the window. It is very warm. She opens the window and the
singing of the birds fills the room. She can smell the flowers outside her
home. They smell sweet and fresh. After Maria gets dressed and has her
breakfast, she puts her books in her bag. She is ready for
school.
Maria is a lot like
any other students in her neighbourhood. She goes to school and likes to be
with her friends. But Maria cannot see the beautiful spring. She cannot see the
flowers, the blue sky or the singing birds. She cannot see the
new green leaves on the trees. She cannot see because she is visually impaired. She has been unable to see since she was born. But Maria is happy.
She goes to school every day. She can learn the information because she reads
Braille. Braille is a script that uses raised dots. Each letter is made from

enjoys reading poems and history. Maria's teacher says she is a good learner.

been my passion since childhood. I paint landscapes and sometimes abstract art.
It's a way for me to express myself, and it relaxes my mind. I enjoy using
different colors and brush techniques to create beautiful works. Every weekend,
I spend time in my art studio, and it's the best part of my week.
I would love to know
about your hobbies as well. Take care and write back soon.
Yours sincerely,
Rana
13. Short Composition on
"A Journey by Train":
A
Journey by Train
Travelling by train is
one of the most comfortable ways to explore new places. I recently went on a
train journey to Chittagong. The train was very clean, and the ride was smooth.
I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, with green fields and
rivers passing by. The train was equipped with modern facilities, and the
service was excellent. I met some interesting people during the journey, and we
had a nice conversation. The food served on the train was delicious, and I
tried some local snacks. The journey lasted for about 6 hours, but it felt
shorter because of the amazing views and good company. Overall, it was a
memorable experience, and I look forward to my next train journey.
