Sri Lanka is an island which lies in the Indian Ocean. "The Garden of Eden" is a name Sri Lanka has earned because of its beauty. Some people call it "Pearl of the Indian Ocean".
It had different names at different times. Sometimes it has been called 'Taprobane' and in later periods, 'Dharmadipa'.
It is 224km East to West and 432km North to South. Thr totalm area is 65,610 sq.km. Its population today is 20, 238,000.
The main event of the year is the New Year Festival. Normally it is held on 13-14th of April. And there are games like "pancha damima", "thachchi panima", "kotta poraya", "chakgudu".
Sri Lanka earns its foreign exchange from the tourist trade. Tourists come in their hundreds and thousands to see the golden beaches, jungles, ruins, temples, dagaobas and enjoy the sunny climate.

Ramanathan Hindu Ladies' College
This is one of the best schools in Colombo and has all of the facilities a good school should have. There are 58 classrooms and the laboratories are well-equipped.
It has a stone building and as we enter the school there is a temple on the left and a garden on our right. When we enter the building, the principal's room, the office and the staff room are on the left hand side. These are well-furnished.
At our school students have to wear a white uniform, white shoes and socks. We have a maroon tie and black ribbons. In our school special attention is paid to behaviour, clenliness and punctuality. The most well-behaved, neat and punctual student is awarded a prize at the Annual Day function.
Our principal is a stict disciplinarian. If anyone violates the rules, is not in uniform or makes mischief, she is punished. But she is fair and caring.
Our teachers are also quite strict. They teach us with great care and help us when we neeed it.
I like my school very mu8ch and I shall never forget it.
