                              SAKURA🌸

 



People love seeing trees with bare limbs covered in snow during the winter. Still others would say the most beautiful tree they have ever seen is the cherry blossom tree.



Sakura is the Japanese term for cherry blossom trees. Cherry blossom trees are different from other cherry trees. The main difference is that cherry blossom trees don't produce fruit. Instead, they bloom with the beautiful pink or white flowers each spring. Unfortunately, the trees only flower for a week or two.




Cherry blossom trees are an icon of Japan. Some people even call the cherry blossom Japan's informal national flower. The Japanese school year starts in April, during cherry blossom season. Sakura flowers symbolize good,luck,love and springtime. They bloom for such a short time, cherry blossom treees also represent human mortality. They remind us how short and precious life is.

The sakura blooming starts in Okinawa in January and moves to Kiyotho by the beginning  of April.
Today, Japanese cheery blossom trees are a popular tourist attraction. One day, I will hope to visit "sakura season" with my family.

Koggala was bounded on one side by a reef, and on the other by Koggala Lagoon, a large coastal lake into which the numerous tributaries of the Koggala Oya drained. The landscapes of the sea, Koggala Lagoon studded with little islands, the flora and fauna, the forested hinterland, and the changing patterns of life and culture of the people of the village would later influence his work. At the age of five Wickramasinghe was taught the Sinhala alphabet, at home and in the village temple, by a monk, Andiris Gurunnanse.

PIANO

                                                              PIANO   For many years, people have enjoyed the beauty and sound of a piano. The history of the piano has grown to be just as elegant as the music it creates. Starting out as a dream of having a new kind of instrument to fill the ears of music lovers, the piano was invented by harpsichord maker, Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori, in Italy, in 1709. However, many historians debate the exact date the harpsichord maker actually invented the piano. Even the layout of the first original piano looked different. While the natural keys were black, the accidental keys were white.  Cristofori’s invention of the piano was supposed to be an improvement to the harpsichord and clavichord. Both of these instruments looked like today’s modern piano. However, the harpsichord...

               THE PERSON I ADMIRE MOST Of all the people in the world. I Love my mother the most. She is a very caring person and I have learned so much from her. She is my role model. Everyone knows that a mother love is the greatest in the world. In everything that she does, there is a touch of love. She washes clothes cleanly so that we will not became ill. She blames me sometimes, but I don't mind. I know that this is because of her love for us. I keep quiet and do not argue with her. She shows her love for us every day in so many ways. Even if she is tired or ill, she never hesitates to make us happy. In the same way, she wakes up before we do and goes to bed last, so that she can take care of us. If anyone in the family is ill, she is the one Who is the most worried.  Such care and love no one in the world can give but a mother. For these reasons my mother will always be the one I will look up to all my life.  She is my true h...
