Dear (Friend’s name),
I was very happy to receive your letter last week. In your letter, you asked me about the people and religions in my country. (Describe in your words).
I am happy to say that my country is a multi-racial country where there is religious freedom. It is home to people of different religions. (Explain all about the situation regarding this). The different religious groups have very different practices and religious festivals.
The Buddhists, for instance, observe the first and fifteenth days in the lunar calendar as religious days to offer prayers to Buddha. They go to the temples as early as five in the morning to pray. On these two days, they also fast or observe a vegetarian diet.
As for the Hindu devotees, they celebrate Thaipusam and Deepavali. When making a wish at the temple, they go through the ritual of praying and then breaking a coconut on the ground. Every day, they light a lamp at the altar of the gods as part of the ritual.
