In his poem of patriotism, Scott says if a man not proud of his country, he will be buried without honour. When a man returns after a journey to his country, he must be bubbling with enthusiasm, and his heart must be pulsating with joy to land on his native soil. We heard of great martyrs who sacrificed themselves for the sake of their country. So, it only proper and fair that one should love one's country.

There many things because one must be proud of one's country. It may be due to the climate, natural regions, people, government, tradition, culture, and manufacturers. The relation which the country with other countries also a point to be considered.

Considering the above norms, let me say why I am proud of my country. My country an equable climate. We bright sunshine throughout the year and plenty of rain, and there virgin evergreen forests. There some scenic rivers, hills, and valleys that make the country beautiful. The sea coast not straight but harbour bays.

Our people quiet, hard-working, and peace-loving. They know their land gives them plenty in the form of grains and fruits, so they need not be hungry. The forests natural wealth, and the plantations rich, producing money-spinning rubber. Our mines produce valuable tin making the country prosperous. We a developing nation, and a lot of good things will to be done.

We a good government that democratic. We a succession of enlightened rulers who taken measures for improvement. The upheavals we see in some countries practically absent, and the people law-abiding-.

Our country a long history of several centuries. Several cultures flowed in here, and so there we see a mixed culture. This reflected in the way people dress and eat; the buildings show the effect of these overriding cultures. Our country very friendly relation with the neighbouring countries, and we held in high esteem. Considering all these, I am proud of my country.
