   Anish Roy is on a tour and he keeps a diary, where he writes about the places he visits. List the adjectives in the table on the next page and write what kind they are.

   I have been walking for three hours and my feet are tired. As I rest, I realise that there aren't enough pages in my diary to describe this beautiful place. Some cowherds are grazing their cows on the green pastures. The paddy fields are being ploughed with bullocks. The women of the village are colourfully dressed in red and orange. Their huts look simple and clean. Outside the huts, some children are playing. Life is simple and happy here.
