Your opinions about Bangladesh

Read the piece of writing about Bangladesh by Kefayeth Hussain (click here). She has written about her opinions about Bangladesh, and has included some interesting information about the country. It is a mixture of fact and opinion. Can you find the facts? Can you find the opinions?

Kefayeth has organised her writing very well by using paragraphs - each paragraph is about a particular topic. It could be possible to give each paragraph a heading - what headings would you give each paragraph?

What do you think about what Kefayeth has written? Do you agree with her opinions? Is there more information about Bangladesh that you think she could have included? How is Bangladesh different at the moment?

Write your own piece of writing about Bangladesh. Include facts (you can find facts on the Country Profile page) and opinions. Organise your writing by using paragraphs the way Kefayeth has done.

If you're really happy with what you've written, we could submit it to the BBC, just like Kefayeth did!
