Why India would be a good place to visit

     India  would be a good place to visit because you could learn about there culture, food, animals, and there lives. But I'm only going to tell you 3 reasons why I would visit it.

     The first reason why is because I'd enjoy learning about there animals. The animals that i would learn about is the elephants, the tigers and the monkeys. The elephants because they are big and they look nice. The tigers because they are ferocious meat eating cats but can also be kind cats. The monkeys because there cute and can be tiny, my favorite is the finger monkeys.

     The second reason why I would go to india is because the food it would be fun to try new food. Such as Pesarattu, this food is made mainly in Andhra Pradesh. Another food that would be interesting to try is Panta Ilish this food is also made mainly in Assam. All these foods would be quite interesting to try.

The last and certinly not the least thing that im going to talk about is there cultures.The culture of India refers to the religions, beliefs, customs, traditions, languages, ceremonies, arts, values and the way of life in India and its people. India's languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food and customs differ from place to place within the country, but nevertheless possess a commonality. Its culture often labeled as an amalgamation of these diverse sub-cultures spread all over the Indian subcontinent and traditions that are several millennia old.

draft 2: Bridges

     Bridges are used to travel from place to place, some go over water some go over land and some even go over another bridge.There are many amazing  and creative bridges in the world, but i am here to only talk about three.

     The first bridge that I am going to tell you about is the Henderson Wave bridge located in Singapore, it is the most beautiful pedestrian bridge. The first reason why its an amazing bridge is because it has an interesting shape the bridge has waves on it but you actually do not walk on  the waves were you walk is actually flat so then you wont fall off the bridge, which is good other wise there would be a huge possibility that you would fall off the bridge and get really hurt. The second reason why its an amazing bridge is because only people can walk or run on the bridge. The third reason why its an amazing bridge is because it made entirely out of wood so that is why cars cant go on it.







     The second bridge that I think is clearly amazing is the rolling bridge in the UK. The first reason why I think it is awesome is because It actually rolls on top of its self which is crazy cool, but you cant walk on it, you could try but I don't think you'd be very successful. The second reason why I think it is awesome is because the bridge rolls its self up to let bridges bye, think of it your on a boat and you come across this bridge but you cant go over it and you cant go under it, all of the sudden it starts to curl up into a ball! Your a little scary but its also fascinating to watch the bridge roll up on its self.The third reason why it is awesome is because it is twelve meters long, the bridge is made in eight steel and timber sections, and is made to curl by hydraulic rams set into the handrail between each section.

     The last most breathtaking bridge that i am going to write about is the most amazing bridge of them all it is called the Banpo bridge in South Korea. The first reason why it is my most favorite bridge is because it spits out water out of the sides of the bridge it has 10,000 nozzles to squirt out water. The second reason why it is my most favorite bridge is because it has become very successful and is now a major tourist attraction. The third reason why its an amazing bridge is because it pumps out 190 tons of water a minute.
