Let’s Talk

Kanha is a national park. The nearest railway station is Nainpur. Discuss in groups and plan a visit to Kanha, where you can see dense forests, a variety of deer, elephants, tigers etc. Keep the following points in mind while making the plan.

1. Things you will take with you.
2. Friends who will go with you.
3. Money you will need.

Answer:

Your plan after the discussion may be as follows:

We will visit the Kanha National Park on Sunday. All of us would gather at the Nainpur railway station. Since, there are a variety of animals, like deer, elephants, tigers, monkeys etc. We will take some nuts and bananas for the animals with us. One of us would bring a camera for taking photographs. We would start in the morning at about 7 a.m. and would be back by evening so we also have to take with us our lunch and water bottles. Yes, two of us would bring the bed sheets. We can also take some snacks for eating on the way. So six of us i.e. Raja, Bhola, Meena, Rekha, Suraj and I would visit Kanha. Oh yes ! all of us would individually need about thirty rupees for the train fare and the park ticket. So, please don’t forget to bring that along with other things. Now, let me note on a piece of paper who is bringing what for the journey.

Dear Vedant,

Hope you are fine. I am also fine here. Today, I wish to tell you about my visit to Kanha National Park. My five friends and I visited it last Sunday. It was a great fun. We saw a variety of animals there like deer, elephants, lions etc. We gave nuts to monkeys and bananas to elephants. We also took photographs of many rare species of animals there. We had our lunch together in the park and played some outdoor games also. It was a memorable journey. We came back home by 7’o clock in evening. I missed you a lot there, we will go there again whenever you come here.

Yours Affectionatly

Rahul
