Martin's? -
Lesson I
A. Listen and read.
Tamal: Sure,
Andy!
Andy:
What are the main tourist spots in Bangladesh?
I know about Cox's Bazar. I visited there
last
month.
Tamal: Oh,
Cox's Bazar is the most popular tourist
spot.
Andy:
And it's beautifull I loved the sea and the beach!
But I'd like to see some new places this
time.
Tamal: Right!
There are many places to see in our country.
You can go to Sreemangal. You can enjoy the beauty
of the tea gardens there. From there you can
go
to Madhabkundu. There are some wonderful
waterfalls there. You can also go to Saint
Martin's
Island. It's a special place.
Andy:
What is special about Saint Martin's Island?
Tamal: It's an
island in the Bay of Bengal, and it's the
only coral island in Bangladesh. You can see
coral in different shapes and colours. And
the
water in the Bay of Bengal is very clean and
blue!
Andy: Oh,
that sounds wonderful!
Tamal:
Yes, it is! You can also see the turtles on the island.
The turtles make their nests on the beach and
then
they lay their eggs in them. You can see many
fish, too.
Andy:
Wow! Really? Can I go sailing?
Tamal:
Well, you can take a day cruise. You can go on wooden
boats or sea truck. The cruises are exciting
and safe.
They are a great way to see the Bay.
Andy:
Thanks for the information, Tamal!
