2. Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that it’s architectural beauty has never been surpassed.  The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India.  Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble.  Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset.  The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon.  On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj Mahal as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna River.

3.

Patriotism means love of one’s native land.  Just as we love our father and mother, so we love land of our birth.  This feeling is called patriotism. It is also our duty not to hate other nations.  We must try to cultivate a healthy type of patriotism and to devote ourselves whole heartedly to the uplift and prosperity of our own country.

5.I am a horse who has reached old age now. As I am old, I spent my time grazing in the pastures, thinking about my lovely past. I remember myself to be very naughty in my childhood. Back then, I used to go with my mother to the grasslands, where I would play a lot. However, my mother, along with the other horses will be actively grazing all the time. I always used to make my big brother angry by biting his tail and running away. My mother, a beautiful white mare, used to tell me that I am so fast.
