Introduction:
The title of this story is "India's Living Root Bridges". The topic I want to discuss is 'a living root bridge'.
Body:
We use bridge to cross rivers or streams for centuries. During the sumer monsoon, the local Khasi people couldn't cross streams rivers on foot. So at first, they built bridges using bamboo. But they developed the living root bridge, because the bamboos rot easily and collapsed.
The living root bridge is made by Ficus elastica's roots. It takes almost eighteen years to complete. However, root bridges grow stronger over time as the trees healthier. Also, they absorb greenhouse gases as part of the ecosystem, and don't require any expensive materials.
Conclusion:
Modern bridges are better than root bridges in every way. However, we can be offered more sustainable way to build things by them! I want to cross te living root bridge in jungle.

Body:
We have used bridges to cross rivers and streams for centuries. During the sumer (sumer) monsoon, the local Khasi people couldn't cross streams (streams rivers) and rivers on foot. At first, they built bridges using bamboo, but the bamboo rotted easily and collapsed. So, they developed the living root bridge.
The living root bridge is made by (made by Ficus elastica's roots) from the roots of Ficus elastica trees. It takes almost eighteen years to complete. However, root bridges grow stronger over time as the trees (as the trees healthier) become healthier. Also, they absorb greenhouse gases as part of the ecosystem, and (don't require any expensive materials.) don't require any expensive materials.
Conclusion:
Modern bridges are better than root bridges in some ways, but (we can be offered more sustainable way to build things by them!) root bridges offer a more sustainable way to build things. I want to cross (te living root bridge in jungle.) a living root bridge in the jungle.
