Text 1
Hello there!
I live in a small village in Bangladesh. Although this place is remote and not so developed, visitors love the village for its beautiful, green landscape. The environment is fresh here. The people living here are friendly. They are hardworking too. If you visit my village, you can enjoy the endless cropland, the fresh food and the warm hospitality of the villagers. Especially you can taste here the sweet mangoes. Our village is surrounded by a river. There is a market in the heart of the village. Whenever you go there, you see people are always busy. You can move anywhere at any time as it is a safe area. It is also one of the cleanest villages in this area. The only difficulty that you may face is a power cut. Very often, the night is quiet here. But you can enjoy the beauty of the night sky then. So, if you plan to spend some time in nature, my village will be a good choice.

Hello there!
I live in a small village in Bangladesh. Although this place is remote and not so developed, visitors love it for its beautiful, green landscape. Its environment is as refreshing as the gentle morning breeze. The people living here are friendly. They work as hard as an ant gathering its harvest. If you visit my village, you can enjoy the colorful cropland, the fresh food and the warm hospitality of the villagers. Especially you can taste the mangoes which are as sweet as honey. A river surrounds the village like a snake. There is a market in the heart of the village. Whenever you visit there, you see people are as busy as bees. You can move anywhere at any time, as it is as safe as your home. It is also one of the cleanest villages in this area. The only difficulty that you may face is a power cut. Very often, the night is as quiet as a sleeping baby here. But then again you can enjoy the beauty of the night sky. So, if you plan to spend some time in nature, my village will be a good choice.
