Howdy, tuhinsarwar!

Q here for a review this fine Review Month. I don't see many articles or nonfiction pieces on our site, so I was excited to bump into this one of yours.

I'm just going to go paragraph by paragraph and then give some overall thoughts.

I wonder why you put the first paragraph in bold? I notice it's above the "introduction" section, and it also repeats some of the same information, so to me it seems like a summary of what we'll read later, or maybe even a lengthy caption to the image above. I think it works to have it above as a summary, but it does seem a little strange to read nearly the same information just below!

Fatrar Char or Fatrar Bon is a nice tourist place near Kuakata beach. It is a part of the Sundarban mangrove forest Renamed recently as Tengra Giri Wildlife Sanctuary, it is a fairly big forest with many timber trees, wild birds, monkeys, rabbits, deer, and some other animals. You can enter the forest by motorboat and travel through the big canal with half-merged trees on two sides. You can also walk through the forest to see special trees.

Sounds super cool already! I love the imagery of entering the forest by motorboat -- it gives me an idea of exactly what kind of forest this is. One note is I think by "half-merged," you might have meant "half-submerged."

There's also a couple of phrases that you could sharpen up a bit -- "a nice tourist place" and a "fairly big forest" don't tell me very much, and it seems like your goal is mainly to describe this locale (and perhaps also encourage visitors?). What would a "fairly big forest" be? Can you give a number of acres, or use some sort of goofy comparison, like that Rhode Island would fit inside it 10 times? I think that would be a fun fact to see and would definitely be memorable!

Fatrar Chor is the part of the Sundarban forest. Fatrar Char is also known as Fatrar Bon. As the Fatrar Char is the part of Sundarban so it is a mangrove forest. Fatrar Bon is a fairly big forest in Kuakata. There are many Timber trees available here. The tree in this forest is very hard and strong. And the wood of these trees is very long-lasting and also costly. A wood business is started at that place and these woods are supplied all over the country.

Hm, this paragraph confused me a bit at first. The part I put in bold has information that was all in the paragraph immediately above, just phrased a different way. I quite liked the way the information flowed in the first paragraph, so maybe you could cut out the beginning of this one?

I did appreciate the additional information about using the wood for timber, since that was something you hadn't explored previously and I was curious to know more about.

The forest of Fatrar Char is relatively expansive and boasts a wide variety of flora and fauna. The timber trees that dominate the landscape provide a lush green canopy, creating a serene environment. Among the wildlife, you can find wild birds, monkeys, rabbits, deer, and various other species that thrive in this protected area. This rich biodiversity makes Fatrar Char a significant spot for both nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.

I like your use of descriptor words here, like lush, serene, thrive, rich, significant. Also boasts, I just like that word. I liked getting an overview of the forest and getting more of a visual image in my head, but since we've already gotten a bit of an overview, I'd love to see you dig in more!

Just an example would be what kind of tree is used for timber, or what animal is most rare or most common in the forest. Is there a species here that's found nowhere else, and that's why wildlife photographers enjoy it? You certainly don't have to drag on or list everything, as I love the length you've got going on, but I think since you're onto the body of your article, some additional details would be nice!

One of the most exciting ways to explore Fatrar Char is by motorboat. As you glide through the large canals, you will witness half-merged trees lining both sides, creating a mystical atmosphere. The boat journey offers a unique perspective on the forest, allowing visitors to see parts of the mangrove ecosystem that are otherwise inaccessible. The tranquil water, combined with the sounds of the forest, provides a peaceful and immersive experience.

That sounds super cool! Are the canals man-made? I wonder how that works. This is perhaps my favorite paragraph so far because it describes such a unique experience.

For those who prefer to explore on foot, Fatrar Char offers several walking trails that weave through the forest. These trails lead to special trees that are unique to this region, allowing visitors to appreciate the area's botanical diversity. Walking through the forest provides a different kind of connection with nature, as you can touch and feel the texture of the trees, hear the rustling of leaves, and observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

I've got a couple more questions in this paragraph -- first, I'm just so curious about this combo of land and water! Wild that you could either boat or walk through a forest. Also, the "special trees" make me wonder again what specific type they are. Why are they special? And what is the texture that people would find?

Fatrar Char, or Tengra Giri Wildlife Sanctuary, is a hidden gem near Kuakata beach that offers a blend of adventure and tranquility. Whether you choose to navigate its waterways by boat or wander its forest trails on foot, the experience is sure to be memorable. This sanctuary not only highlights the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Sundarban mangrove forest but also underscores the importance of conservation efforts in preserving such unique ecosystems for future generations.

I'm not sure about titling this section conclusion, since it sounds like you're concluding an argument! Maybe something like "Hidden gem" would work? Ah but that's just a small thing. I think you summed the article up very nicely, though I would have liked to see more about the conservation efforts! Maybe you could add in a section about those?

Overall, I quite enjoyed the article. I liked the inclusion of a photo to help give me a visual sense of place, and you had really pleasant descriptions and a good structure. My main critique is that I felt like I was left with a lot of questions! I think that in an article, that could be good -- you've gotten my interest and now I can dive in and do more research since I'm curious. But, it would be nice to have a couple of hard facts in there or more specifics to really ground your piece, and I think that you can do that without going overboard and sharing absolutely everything.

You've done a nice job, and it's really refreshing to see a nice article that makes me want to travel! Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

A little repetitive there I think since you talk so much about the forest in the previous bit too. I feel maybe you could shorten the part on it in the earlier piece and have this more detailed description come in only here.
