Answer:
Recently we planned a tour to Araku Valley. Dad said it’s a very pleasant and cool hill station that can be visited in summer. Charan and I were so excited and told our friends about our trip to Araku. Mom also said its a worthy sight seeing place.
We started early in the morning of Monday by a train to Vishakhapatnam. I enjoyed the climate and scenic beauty sitting by the window. Mom made some snacks and lunch for us to enjoy during the journey. We reached Vishakhapatnam in the afternoon. We took rest in a hotel and went to see R.K. Beach in the evening. First time, to go near the heavy waters scared me a lot. But my father held our hands and gave the courage to go near the waters. We enjoyed a lot with the on and off movements of tides.
We took rest for the night and started for Araku early in the morning by train. The journey was pleasant and exciting as we passed through forests and tunnels. Children in the train shouted with joy. We reached Araku, hired a room and got fresh. We hired a taxi to see some old temples. Borra caves, tea and coffee plantations and beautiful gardens. We enjoyed the trip. The garden was beautiful with flower beds, bushes and decorated trees.
The trip was a memorable experience in my life.

prevails in India.
Answer:
‘Unity in Diversity’
Respected teachers and my dear friends,
… India is a country that is well known for its ‘Unity in Diversity’. So I feel honoured and proud to speak before you on this remarkable feature of India.
Unity in diversity means oneness In the varieties. India is a country where it is very clear to see this concept because people of many religion, race, culture and traditions live together without affecting each others feelings and believes to their religion. Unity in Diversity focuses in the existence of oneness even after lot of differences of cultural, social, physical, linguistic religions, political, ideological, psychological, etc. More number of differences make more complex unity. People in India are united in spite of the much diversity of races, religions, castes, sub-castes, communities, languages and dialects. People in India are highly spiritual and God fearing in nature so they give respect to everyone’s religion.
Humanity and likelihood of people help them to maintain the policy of Unity in Diversity. We are proud to be Indians”
