ESSAY ON PLACES


VISIT OR PLACES:

1.MY VISIT TO RAJASTHAN:
It was a Diwali vacation. This time we made up our mind to k visit Rajasthan, our neighbouring state. Rajasthan, the land of the kings, is the home of Rajputs. They are known for their bravery. Rajasthan has many attractions. There are hills, forts, lakes, palaces, a hill station and many other historical places. First we visited Jaipur. It is known as the 'Pink City’. The pink buildings  and gateways of the city attracted us most. Then we visited Udaipur, which is known as the city of the lakes. We were highly delighted when we visited the four lakes- Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Udai Sagar and Jaisamand. We also visited impressive palaces, attractive gardens and wonderful temples. Then we went to Mount Abu, a famous hill station of Rajasthan. It attracts not only Indians but foreign visitors also. We visited the world famous Jain Temples of Delwara, The Achalgadh, The Gurushikhar and the Nakhi Lake. We returned home after ten days having lastly visiting the Jaslmer desert. We were fully satisfied. The visit of Rajasthan brings to us memories of a heroic past. What a pleasant trip it was ! 

2. MY SCHOOL LIBRARY :
My school has a big library. It has twelve thousand books. There are English, Gujarati and Hindi books. We subscribe three newspapers and about a dozen magazines.
We have two sections in my school library. Section one is for the teachers and the other is for the students. Both teachers and pupils, use the library in their free time.
A good library is of great value. It gives us general knowledge. It improves our minds. It teaches us discipline and manners. Our library keeps us busy and keeps us away from mischief. It makes us good pupils. It makes us human beings. It helps us to pass our free time fruitfully. We have two librarians and two peons. They help us in our reading. The books in our library are our never-failing friends. We are happy in their company.

3. MY VISIT TO A FRUIT STALL:
We had some guests at home. We decided to prepare mango Juice. So I went in the morning to a      famous fruit stall in the market place. In the stall, a large variety of neatly arranged in baskets. They looked fresh and lovely. There were green and yellow bananas, green and purple grapes, red  apples, golden oranges and many other fruits. The stall was crowded with customers and fruit seller was bust. But he talked politely. He told everyone that his prices were fixed and he sold fruits of good quality only. I bought two dozen ripe mangoes from him. The mangoes were really tasty and they worth their price.

4. A VISIT TO A SEA- SHORE :
Last. Sunday my friends and I visited a sea-shore at Ubhrat. We went there by matador.  We set put at about 5.30 in the morning. We reached there at about 8.00 o’clock.
The sea-shore is one of the most charming places. We saw there the mighty ocean, and its tossing and rising waves. We got cool breezes coming from the ocean. The sun-set at the a-shore is a sight to  see. Some people go there to sail. Some go there to fish. You will  find all types of people there. Indeed,  the sea-shore is a very attractive place for all young or old, rich or poor. We had a nice time at the sea-shore. What a beautiful place for all to rest at!

5. VISIT TO A ZOO :
Yesterday I visited the city zoo with my friends. I entered the big gate. First we visited the wild animals. They were in their special cages. When we went near the cages, we had a foul  smell. We saw the Gir Lion, the Bengal tiger, the Nigerian panther, the Himalayan bears and European wolves. We then visited the snake house. We saw many type of snakes and pythons. Near the snake house there was a big pond. We saw many and  small crocodiles and we enjoyed this sight. The bird section was wonderful to watch. We found the monkey house a great fun. Children made faces at the monkeys. Monkeys also made faces at us. We threw groundnuts at them. There I had an elephant ride. We left the zoo happily. It was a new experience to me.

6. A VICIT TO A CIRCUS :
Who is not thrilled to know that a circus is in the town. As soon as I got the news, I decided to see the circus. Last Sunday I went to see the Bengal circus with my friends, The show started at 6,00 p.m. First of all,  six horses  came into the ring. They ran round and round. A rider rode them. He jumped from one horse to another. After that two elephants came into the ring. One of them stood box. He began to turn it round and  round. Then the lions entered the ring. Then a goat sat between two lions. I liked all these tricks. I saw two funny clowns, I laughed a lot at their tricks. The show came to an end with dangerous motor-cycle riding. The motor-cyclist rode the motor cycle upwards, downwards and roundabout for a long time in a sphere. I enjoyed the show very much, I returned home with a happy heart.
