of home and abroad to us. We read newspaper everyday. Newspapers are like our
daily food. We cannot do without newspapers even for a day. The reading of
newspaper has become a part of our habits.
Now-a days newspaper performs important function
in our life. The newspaper has made the world smaller. We can know the
important facts of all the countries from newspapers. Distance is no longer
distance to us. The whole world seems to be our home and all human beings our
brothers.
Newspaper
plays a vital role in our daily life. It is called the mirror of the society.
Sitting in our room we can realise the situation of the world.
In respect of importance, various kinds of news
are published for different classes of people. We read news about national as
well as international affairs. We find news about sports, business, politics,
new invention, and accidents. Veteran journalists write articles regarding
various matters. We can learn the prevailing condition of economy, politics,
and culture by reading articles. Students
are also benefited by reading newspaper because of the publishing of MCQ type
& broad question answers in newspapers. Exam routine and results are
published in the newspaper too.
Various classes of people read newspaper for their
respective purpose. An athlete seeks information about game and sports. A
businessman learns about the present economic condition of the world. A
politician looks for political news. An old person reads newspaper to pass his
or her time.
In conclusion we have to opine that newspaper
plays a vital role in every sphere of our life. It is really interesting that
newspaper depicts the entire world before our eyes.

FLOOD IN BANGLADESH
Flood is a natural calamity and it is very
common factor is Bangladesh.
Almost every year floods occur in one or all the parts of the country. It takes
away hundreds of human life and damages huge property every year. So it is
regarded as a great national problem.
Flood is mainly caused by heavy
shower of rain. Bangladesh
is a land affected by frequent floods because the rivers cannot hold the water.
As a result, they overflow their banks and the lands close to them go under
water. Sometimes there is a heavy rush of water from the mountains through the
rivers. These rivers then overflow their banks and cause to wide spread of
floods.
Flood causes a heavy damage to our
life and properties. Houses are destroyed, cattle are washed away, crops are
greatly damaged and trees are uprooted. Thousands of people become homeless and
shelter less. They remain without food for many days. All communication from
the outside world is cut off. The flood of 1998 broke the records of the past.
Never before did water level rise so high nor was the duration so long. The
whole country went into water. The miseries of the affected people knew no
bounds. Infect the havoc was so great that it took a long time to repair the
loss.
The after effects of flood are more
dangerous. Famine breaks out. Many people die for want of food. The flood
affected areas become muddy and unhealthy. The prices of all necessary things
go up. There is scarcity of drinking water.
Floods do some good to us. It makes
our lands fertile. It washes away filth and dirt.
It is
necessary to take proper steps for the control of flood in our country. Both
long and short term plans can be taken. Proper embankments should be
constructed along the banks of the rivers. And above all, our government should
be very careful about it.
Floods do a little good to men. But
if it is compared to the evils, the good effects are found insignificant. So,
we must control the floods at any east.
CASH
CROP OF BANGLADESH
OR,
TEA.
Tea is a
common and popular drink in Bangladesh.
Now-a-days people all over the world take tea. It comes from the leaf of a
small plant. Now it is one of the main cash crops of Bangladesh. It is an important item
of our export and it earns a large amount of foreign exchange for our country.
It is the mast popular drink in the world. It refreshes our body and mind.
Tea was
first grown in china. Now it grows in Bangladesh, India, Japan and Indonesia. Tea
grows in hot and moist climate. It grows on the slope of hills or hilly
regions. In Bangladesh
it grows well in the hilly areas of Shylhet and Chittagong. It requires excessive rain but
the rainwater must not stay at the root.
Tea
seeds are sown in a nursery, in the rainy season. The seedlings are
transplanted over vast area in rows from four to six feet apart. The
cultivation of tea is a very difficult task. The plants are watered and weeds
are removed in time for the smooth growth of the plants. It grows from five to
ten feet in height. It is pruned to change into bushes.
There are
four crops of a year. The first plucking gives the best tea. Generally women
workers pluck leaves of tea. They pluck green leaves. The tealeaves are dried
on sieves and rolled into machines. Then they are scored in a room for being
black and broken.
MY
AIM IN LIFE
MY
FUTURE PLAN OF LIFE
Aim means choice of career. An aim in life helps a
man to reach a particular destination of life. A life without an aim is like a
ship without a rudder. So, everyone must have a particular choice of profession
in life. A life without choosing of profession is meaningless.
Many men, many minds: Similarly different persons
have different choices. So aim in life varies from person to person. Someone
wishes to be a doctor, someone player, someone to be engineer, someone wishes
to be pilot and someone to be a higher officer etc.
I am not interested to run after money and wealth.
I have no lust for extra higher education. Since my boyhood, I cherished a
desire that I would be a teacher in my life. My father himself is a teacher. He
has often said that a teacher can give real service to his country through
teaching.
Education is the hope and aspiration of a nation.
The rate of education in our country is very negligible. Education spreads the
knowledge of the people. An educated person can judge the right and the wrong.
I think that if I can not give the light and delight to the poor people, my
education will be meaningless. So, I have chosen the profession of a teacher.
But I do not want to be a college or university
teacher. Because I am an ordinary student, and my father is too poor to pay for
my higher education in the university. After graduation I shall complete the
B.Ed. course to qualify myself as a teacher.
Then I shall come back to join my village High School. I do not like to leave this
school. I want to live in the midst of my students and relations till the last
day of my life.
Teaching is a noble profession. It can give light
to the nation. If I can succeed to give the three RS to the poor people of our
country, my life will be meaningful. I think if a number of people come forward
as like as me all the problems of our country will be solved. Our country will
prosper day by day.
YOUR IDEA OF DISCIPLINE AS FOR PROGRESS AND ADVANCEMENT
The word discipline comes from a Latin word “discipulous”.
Discipulous means a disciple. A disciple obeys the orders of his preceptor
without any question. Discipline is therefore a moral quality. It is related to
the conduct of a disciple. In its broad sense, however it includes obedience to
any system of rules for orderly conduct.
Man lives in society and with
family. He cannot do whatever he likes. If everyone does what he pleases, there
will be disorder and chaos in society. So discipline is essential for
happiness, progress and advancement. The value of discipline is obvious in
every step of life.
The
importance of discipline is very great. It helps us to live in society with
place and order. It is also the basis of all the virtues. No nation can reach
the pinnacle of success, if it has no discipline.
Discipline is necessary in student
life. It is the best time to build the habit of discipline. School and colleges
are the best places for learning it. Students must abide by some rules and
regulations of the educational institutions.
Discipline
is necessary in every walk of life. It is strictly maintained in the army. In a
playground we see the performance of discipline. Even in a family, everything
is maintained in a disciplined way. A disciplined family helps the society to
build a happy one. Nature is the right example of discipline.

build a happy one. Nature is the right example of discipline.
Discipline
brings progress and advancement for one who is obedient to it. The great man of
the world followed discipline in their way of life. That is the reason, why
they encouraged the people to be disciplined.
Discipline
is a development and advancement. Absence of it is downfall. No progress of a
society is possible without discipline. A life without discipline is like a
ship without a rudder. So we should be careful of it. In absence of discipline,
ample works also go in vain. So in doing any work we must maintain discipline
to get a successful result. If there were indiscipline in nature, our life
would become impossible. Discipline prevents a person from going astray and it
is the route of prosperity and advancement. So, to keep the balance in
everything discipline has no substitute. From above discussion, it becomes
clear to us that discipline is indispensable/inevitable for progress and
advancement in life.
RECYCLING
Our
population is increasing like mice in a born. With the number of population,
also increase the amount of garbage and waste. If we allow it to continue, once
we will be buried in waste. That is why recycling or re-use of waste has become
indispensable.
Waste
can have many uses, especially if it can be used to recycled. Recycling mainly
involves processing materials so that they can be used as raw materials for
making other things. They may be used to produce the same product, for example,
broken pieces of glass can be made into new glass, Or they may be very
different, for example, iron and steel from cans and cars can be re-smelted to
make electric poles and rods.
Now
we can think of a short description of recycling aluminum cans. The initiative
of the recycling of aluminum cans is the collection of empty cans. People throw
empty cans in the garbage. Millions of these cans will make hundreds of can
hills. There can be found no place to keep them. So these cans are pressed as
blocks. Then the blocks are sent to the factories where they are melted and
refined. After that with the liquid aluminum, the rolls are made. And finally
by using those rolls new cans are made.
The
importance of recycling is getting priority day by day. It is used in the
developed countries in a large scale. But in the developing countries people
are not following the systems of recycling. In an overpopulated country like Bangladesh the
process of recycling is a very important of thrown-out things.
TREE PLANTATION
Trees are gifts of nature. They are
our great friends and benefit us in many ways. They play a vital role in the
economy of a country and also much influence upon the climatic condition of a
country. Trees gives us fruits, food and shelter.
Trees make land fertile and save it
from erosion. They are as such, part and parcel of our life. So we should plant
more trees.
Environment plays a vital role to ensure
our sound life. A barren field is not suitable for us at all. On an average 25%
land of a country should have forests. In view of this data our proportion is
not satisfactory. In some areas, there are plenty of trees, but in other places
the amount of trees is very limited.
We know that trees supply oxygen,
the most essential thing through which we breathe. Besides, these trees offer
us variety of woods that are used to make furniture. Tired passersby take rest
under the shadow of trees. Birds make their nests in trees. Regarding all these
things I think more trees should be planted in our country.
Again, where there is less quantity
of trees, therefore we find barren lands without rains. Having plenty of trees
in Sylhet, Chittagong
and other hilly areas, rainfall is frequent. So in order to save our country
from droughts more trees should be planted.
Now-a-days radio and TV are taking
dominant programmes to make the people conscious of the importance of trees. It
is true that the herbs from our locality are now on extinction. But utilizing
the herbs, it is possible to make various medicines. Processing the fruit
juice, many delicious foods and drinks can be made. There is a scope to income
a huge amount of foreign exchange exporting the processed food-items. So to
increase our economy, more trees should be planted in Bangladesh.
For the soundness of nature, tree
plantation is essential. The visitors also choose the spots having large amount
of trees. For mental refreshment such places possess a great demand. So, to
inspire tree plantation, prize giving may be implemented. Present government’s
effort to give share of the trees to the poor is undoubtedly praise worthy.
In ensuring a healthier and happier
life. We should plant more trees than we cut down. So, it should be our slogan,
“Cut one tree and plant two trees.”
MY IDEA OF A GOOD TEACHER
Teachers
are the makers of the society and civilization. They are respected every where
for their noble and great contribution to the nation. But a good or ideal
teacher is one who not only teaches us but also changes and reforms our
society. He/she is one who never thinks of his/her interests and sacrifices for
the greater interest of the country and nation.
A good teacher is always punctual
and regular. He / she has a strong sense of duty and responsibility. He / she
is never late in his class. He / she always maintains discipline and teaches
his/her students the significance of discipline and regularity in their life.
A good teacher performs all his
duties with sincerity and honesty. He never avoids his duty. He is very helpful
to all the students and teaches them whatever they want to learn in a very
friendly manner. He is not a venal and does not consider teaching as a
business. He never likes or supports the materialistic purpose of teaching
profession.
A
good teacher works not only for his students but also for the whole society. He
makes the people of his society aware of the purpose and objectives of life. He
makes them conscious of the necessity of education and inspires them to send
their children to schools and colleges. He encourages them to follow discipline
and moral values in life. Thus he can change and reform the society as well as
the country and nation.
A good teacher is always above all
sorts of narrowness and self-interest. He has a self-sacrificing nature. He
sacrifices his own peace, prosperity, and interest for the betterment of his
nation.
A good teacher is one who works for
his society and nation. And he works with devotion, discipline, and sincerity.
He is a great and noble personality as well as an asset of our society and
country.
COMPUTER
In
the twentieth century science has raised human civilization up to the highest
acme. Machine has brought for mankind such comforts as a man can never dream of
even in a fairy land. The machines have enabled man to cross thousands of miles
within an hour. It is not miracle that machines have come forward to work as a
substitute for human brain. The machine which has come to help the human brain
is the computer.
Charles
Babes, a British professor of Mathematics, wrote about a formula, which would
help human brain. But the modern computer was invented by the American
scientist Howard Akin. In 1937 he invented a machine, which could do difficult
sums.
In
1944 the work of the computer was only to count numbers quickly, Analogue
computers were in vogue at that time. These computers could also do difficult
problems of mathematics within a short time. A digital computer can do hundreds
of things more than an analogue computer. Now-a-days computer means this
digital computer. Computer now helps in innumerable ways.
§ It
can successfully translate any particular form of literature.
§ This
machine is so improved that in developed countries many works in mills &
factories are done by it.
§ It
has made a revolutionary change in the field of agriculture in America. Here
the farmers sit in their house, put on the switches and the machine plough,
manure the land, sow the seeds, reap corns & thrash them through computer.
§ The
machine that helps the human to conquer the space is computer.
§ Computer
has brought about a rapid change in the field of printing & publication.
Now printing is going on with computer.
§ Now-a-days
in developed countries computer is used to diagnose a disease. A newer process
of operation has been invented by computers as an alternative of surgery.
§ It
is used in playing chess, cards & many other interesting games.
§ Telecommunication
system has been greatly influenced by computer.
There
are no unmixed blessings on earth. Computer has its own demerits. It causes
diseases like. ‘Respiratory stress injury’ and weakens the eyesight of the
operators.
Computer
is the greatest contribution of science today. It is a technical machine. So it
should be operated tactfully. It has curtailed human labour & saved its
misuse.
RIVERS OF BANGLADESH
Bangladesh is a land of rivers. There are many rivers
in our country. Some are big and some are small. They wash our lands. The
Padma, the Maghna, the Brahmaputra are very
big and wide rivers. The Padma is the most famous of them although the Brahmaputra is one of the biggest in the sub-continent.
Besides, the Buriganga, the Sitalkha, the Dhaleswari, the Teesta, the
Madhumati, the Gomoti, Karnafuli, Goral, Kumar, Arialkha and many others
are the small rivers. Jamuna is one of
the biggest rivers of Bangladesh.
Most of the rivers of our country rise from the
Himalayan range and fall into the Bay of Bengal.
The Padma rise at Gangotri in the Himalayan region and pass through many
provincess of India
like U.P, Bihar and West
Bengal. This river comes into our land near Rajshahi and flows
down the Bay of Bengal. The Brahmaputra
also rises from the Himalayas and flowing
through Assam
comes into Bangladesh.
It flows down the Bay of Bengal. Similarly
many rivers like the Teesta and the Surma rise in the Himalayan region and pass
through Bangladesh.
The rivers of Bangladesh play an important role
to the wealth of our country. They supply water in dry season and make the land
fertile. The rivers serve as the main waterways of Bangladesh. They help our trade and
commerce. They help the inhabitants on their banks to become prosperous. The
important towns and cities are flourished by the rivers. As for example Dhaka, Narayanganj, Mymenshingh, Rajshahi, Khulna, Chandpur,
Sirajgonjs are situated on the bank of the rivers. Many big industries have
grown and have finished on their banks.
The rivers of Bangladesh are helping the economy
of the country. Since Bangladesh
is mainly an agricultural country, she depends on the river for her
development. The lands are irrigated by the water of the rivers. The rivers are
the dwelling place for a rich variety of fishes in all seasons. Fish is one of
the main items of food for the people. By exporting fish Bangladesh
earns a lot of foreign exchange. The rivers are used for producing electricity.
The Hydroelectric projects of the Karnafuli, the Sangu and the Brahmaputra have help us much.
The people of Bangladesh are influenced by the rivers.
They love the rivers very much. They have a riverine character. When the rivers
are full to the brim, the people sail their boats for long destination. The
boatmen sing when they are on the boat. The rivers increase the natural beauty.
The people of Bangladesh
are emotional and sentimental by the influence of the rivers.
The present condition of the big rivers is not
good. The big rivers are going to dry up by the artificial barrage on the
rivers. The normal flow of the rivers is blocked by the barrage. The normal
flow of the river should be kept unblocked.
The rivers are natural assets of a country. They
help the country by many sides. But the rivers sometimes become furious.
Sometimes fertile lands with crops, villages, towns, and business centers go
under water and flood takes heavy tolls of human lives and property. Every year
Bangladesh
falls in such problem. After all the development of Bangladesh depends on the proper
use of the rivers.
BIRDS OF BANGLADESH
We cann’t imagine of a spring afternoon when a
cuckoo does not breath out it’s sweet, far reaching, appealing songs, we don’t
get up in such a morning when the dole, crows and sparrows don’t inform us of a
good morning by their awakening call. There are many birds in Bangladesh.
Nature is so favorable here that even birds of far off visit this country
during winter.
There are many common birds in our country which
are eatable or non-eatable, beautiful or ugly, sweet toned or harsh-toned. The
description of some birds is given below.
The crow is the most common of all birds. It is an
early riser. It is a black and ugly bird. Its voice is harsh. It is thief by
nature. It feeds on dead animals and many rotten and dirty things.
The cuckoo is a sweet singing bird which declares
the advent of spring. It is as black as the crow.
There are other birds as the doel, sparrow and the
Bau-katha-kow. They are all singing birds. The doel is our national bird.
The parrot, the mayna, the shalik, the shyma and
the chandana are talking birds. They can imitate the voice of a man. So, they
are kept by some people as pet. The pigeon, the swan, the cock etc. are also
nice birds and they are called domestic birds. The kite, the hawk and some
other birds have eyes and sharp nail. They swore down upon their prey & carry
it away. So they are called plundering or hijacking birds.
The game birds are caught for generally eating and
fostering. The dove, the pigeon, the snip, bittern, the heron etc belong to
this class. They are found in almost every part of Bangladesh.
There are some other common birds that role cann’t
be ignored. The tuntuni, the babui, and the sparrow are called tailor birds
because they show great skill in weaving their nests. The vulture is a big but
it is ugly in looking and habits. The owl is fired looking but it is harmless.
In fine, It can be said that birds are beautiful
creation of Allah. Almost all of them are beautiful to look at. Some of them
are very useful to us. We shouldn’t be unkind to them. If we pay attention to
the protection of birds, they can help us in solving our economic problem.
THE VICTORY DAY
With the surrender of the barbarous Pak Army to
the Mukti Bahini and the allied force of Bangladesh on the 16th December 1971, Bangladesh
emerged as an independent state. It was a great day for the people of our
country when we realised that the long cherished dream of our country’s freedom
had been achieved.
The barbarous Pak Army launched an inhuman attack
on the innocent and peace loving people of Bangladesh on the 25th March 1971. They
killed thousands of men and women, raped innumerable women, and killed hundreds
of intellectuals of the country. Our roads, railways, waterways, and airways
were disrupted. In a word, the Pak army continued a reign of terror throughout
the country till their final surrender in the month of December 1971.
But the patriotic sons of Bangladesh
faced the situation with courage and determination. The Mukti bahini along with
the allied forces inflicted a severe blow on the enemy. The Pakistani forces
were being confronted in different sectors of the country and all communication
with West Pakistan was cut off. As a result,
the Pakistani soldiers lost their spirit and they made unconditional surrender.
The commander of the eastern command of the
Pakistani army in Bangladesh
was asked by the chief of staff of Indian Armed forces to make unconditional
surrender to the Mukti bahini and the allied forces. The instrument of
surrender was signed by A.A.K. Niazi on the 16th December 1971 at the
historic race course maidan.
When
the people of the city of Dhaka
heard the news of surrender of the Pak Army they came out of their houses,
danced in joy and took part in processions chanting different slogans and
singing several patriotic songs.
The victory of the 75 million people of Bangladesh
symbolises the triumph of justice over tyranny, of truth over falsehood, of
light over darkness, of freedom over slavery and Bangladesh achieved existence with
a new ardour of society. So the 16th of December will be remembered
forever as the victory day in the history of Bangladesh, because it is the day
of liberation of the country.
WONDER OF MODERN SCIENCE/ BLESSINGS OF SCIENCE OR SCIENCE IN EVERY DAY LIFE
The
modern age is an age of science. Modern civilization itself is a gift of
science. We can see the blessings of science around us. Science has made our
life easy and comfortable. So, modern science is a blessing to mankind.
Science has changed our outlook. We
find the impact of science every moment. We get the benefits of science at the
time of traveling, cooking, sleeping, eating, and dressing. We have the
electric fan to make the hottest day cool for us. The electric light makes the
dark night bright. It has changed our life, society, and culture. Electricity
is a great source of power and energy. The radio, television electric irons,
mills factories and refrigerators all work through the power of electricity.
We enjoy music in radio and television. The cinema
refreshes our mind. We can talk from thousands of miles away by means of
telephone. We can travel thousands of
miles in a day.
Science has developed our agriculture. It has
turned a desert into fertile land. Tractor, power pump, and fertiliser increase
the production of crops.
Science has done miraculous task in the field of
medical science. It has enabled men to fight against diseases effectively. It
has saved human life by inventing medicine penicillin and x-ray which are the
wonders of modern science in the field of treatment.
But science has its disadvantages
also. Sometimes it is the cause of sorrows and sufferings of the human
civilization. It becomes dangerous during wartime. It has invented destructive
weapons like atom bomb. In war, cities are destroyed and millions of people are
killed.
So
the blessings of science should be utilized for the welfare of mankind.
THE WONDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE
Modern science has worked wonders.
In its rapid progress it goes on creating one wonder after another. In fact,
the achievements of modern science are too many to describe here.
The first
achievement of modern science is electricity. It has changed our life, society,
and culture. It has a great source of power and energy. It works like magic.
Modern civilization is indeed creation of electricity.
Telephone is another achievement of
modern science. It sends out messages from one place to another with the help
of electric waves.
Another
great achievement of modern science is Radio. It is an instrument by which we
can hear the sound/news from any part of the world.
Television is one of the greatest achievements of
modern science. It is the most up to date means of communicating thoughts and
ideas. It combines both the functions of hearing and seeing.
The
most wonderful of all the working of modern science is the release of nuclear
energy. It has made possible the manufacture of the Atom Bomb, the Hydrogen
Bomb, and the missiles.
Science has
lessened human sufferings. It has given eyes to the blind, hearing to the deaf,
legs to the lame. It has found out the new ways of life. It has increased the
joy of life.
Penicillin,
X-ray, Ultra-violet ray are also a few wonders of modern science in the field
of medicine. Science knows no defeat. It has established it self firmly in our
hearts.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TELEVISION IN OUR LIFE
Television is one of the wonders of modern
science. It is the most up-to-date means of entertainment. It provides both
sound and pictures to entertain the viewers. It amuses us with its charms. It
has really enriched our civilization.
A German scientist, Paul Nepkow, first invented
television. Then John Baird modernised it. Basically it is based on electronic
photography.
The word “Tele” means distance and “vision”
means sight. So, the word television means seeing from distance. Two principles
work behind the television. They are transmission of sound and transmission of
picture. Television has a great likeness to cinema. We can see the events of
the different parts of the world through it. Now it is a very common means of
entertainment to people.
Now a days television has become very much
popular. We find television set in every house in town or city. In the rural
areas it is also available now.
The importance of television in our life is
immense. It contributes to the whole world. It informs us with news of
politics, science, sports, business, and other events. It is the most popular
means of entertainment and mass communication.
Television recreates us greatly. We watch it to
enjoy ourselves. It is helpful for lessening our tension and tiredness of
routine work. Common people can enjoy themselves easily through watching
television. Rural electrification can make people enjoy it a lot. Television is
a great contribution of science to modern life. It is the combination of audio and
video. It entertains as well as instructs us. It has made our life more happy
and enjoyable. So, the importance of television in our life is beyond measure.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A GARMENTS WORKER
Now-a-days
Garment industry has been proved to be the most profitable business. It has
become main source of foreign currency and employment for our country. We have
1.5 million garment workers. Among them 90% are girls. 30% of them are aged
between 13 and 20 years.
Most
of the garment factories of our country are not healthy and well ventilated.
The working conditions in garments are not so friendly. Insufficient latrines,
Lack of clean drinking water, first aid arrangement and excessive noise are the
main problems of our garments.
The
life that a garment’s worker leads is undoubtedly out of description. Their
sorrows and sufferings know no bounds though they are on the move by having
jobs created for them. They are deprived of what is their actual due. They are
paid only 800.00 or 1000.00 taka for restless working from dawn to twilight.
For getting a clear conception on life of a garment worker, now we are going
through a day activities of a garment worker.
A
garment worker wakes very early in the morning. Taking some stale rice she/he
has to go to the factory. He/She goes to the factory on foot. After working
about seven hours. He/She gets a little bit interval to take lunch. Almost
every time he/she takes lunch from his/her house. If he/she does not do so,
he/she takes lunch in a roadside hotel. After taking lunch he/she comes back
the factory and work continuously till at night. Sometimes he/she has to work
at factory up to 9 or 10 p.m.
Though he/she serves overtime, often he/she is not paid properly for his/her
overtime duty. It is an irony of fate that international labour laws and
regulations are not followed and obeyed at all by the authorities. So every
garment worker suffers much. Every new day is a long tiring day for him/her.
There is no sign of improvement in his/her way of life. There is no hope, no dream
in his/her eye. He/she has just become subjects of exploitation of avaricious
garment owners. So government as well as all concerned bodies should take step
to improve the lot of every garment worker.
THE
MEMORABLE DAY OF MY LIFE.
More than fifteen years have passed since I was born
in a village in the district of Chittagong. Now I am nearing my manhood. During
this span of life many events have taken place, but all of them are not equally
memorable. It is only a few events that I shall ever remember. I cannot forget
them for many reasons. It gives me pleasure to describe one of them here.
The occasion was my Aqiqa and beginning of
education ceremony. The incident took place in the fifth year of my life. As
far as I can remember, I was not given any real name before that occasion. I
was called by so many endearing terms that it seemed unnecessary to attach any
more names to me. I was variously called by such pet terms as Khokan, Monui,
Babul, etc. The term Monu survives still today side by side with my real name
given to me on the occasion of my aqiqa ceremony.
On the occasion two goats were sacrificed and a
substantial portion of the meat was distributed among the poor. A good number
of guests were invited and a grand feast was given to them. The guests brought
for me a number of presents. Some of them were very costly articles but the
greater part of them were toys. I was very pleased with them and showed them to
other children. My mother was busy giving alms to the poor and asked them to
pray for my well being. There was a great excitement in our house on that day
and it pleased my childish fancy to consider myself as the hero of the
occasion. Every body was eager to make friends with me, but I had no time to
give them attention.
The ceremony left an abiding impression on my
tender mind. Even after long ten years the sweet recollections of that
memorable event come to my mind with all vividness and pleasure.
COUNTRY
LOCAL GAME / HADUDU.
There are many types of games in Bangladesh.
Ha-du-du is one of them and is favourite to all. It is played widely in the
rural areas.
Ha-du-du requires a small plain
ground. The ground is divided into two equal parts. A line is drawn across the
middle of the fields.
The young, strong and stout boys of
the country play Ha-du-du. There are two teams. Each team has equal number of
players. Usually each team consists of seven or nine players.
The players of both the teams take
their respective part and stand face to face. A referee guides over the game.
One player of a team runs to the other part stopping his breath, with a sound
ha-du-du. He tries the best to touch the players of his opponents. If he can
touch a player or players and reach his won part with his breath, the touched
player or players are called dead. But if he is caught or touched when he is
out of breath, he himself is dead. The dead players can not play. They wait
outside the ground. The dead players can get life and join the game again if
their opponent players are killed by their own ones. Thus the parties send
forth players one by one to the area of the opponent party. The game comes to
an end when all the players of a party are dead and the other party becomes the
winner.
During
the British reign over our country, many of our country games have been
replaced by the western games like football, cricket etc. But equal importance
should be given to the plain and innocent village games and sports. They are
suited to the physical condition of our people. They give sufficient exercise
to the limbs of the body.
Last of all
our village games are not so dangerous or expensive as many of the foreign
games are. Ha-du-du is a good game. It makes us healthy and active. It
refreshes our mind. It teaches us discipline and co-operation.
THE
SEASON I LIKE BEST
Bangladesh
is land of splendid natural wealth, which makes her exquisitely beautiful &
exclusively dignified. Sometimes nature looks fiery, demonic and monstrous
while sometimes it looks bright, vivid, pleasant & enchanting. Among the
six seasons, the autumn is regarded as a season of joy & hope, love &
refreshment, serenity & solitude. Of all seasons, the autumn seems to me
the most charming and delightful, there is no fervent sun, no muddy ways as
well as no rains. All the day nature looks gentle & tranquil. The spring is
the only comparable season to autumn, but for some special reasons &
attractions, the autumn captivates me more than the spring. This is why I like
it best. It comprises the months of September & October.
During
this season, nature looks very calms and quite. Gentle breeze blows. The sweet
smell of sheuli flowers comes along with breeze. Everywhere there is reign of
mirth and gaiety. The gardeners prepare beds for planting new flower plants.
The china Rose, the Rose, the Kamine and the Jui are also in bloom in this
season.
The
birds flying in the sky especially in the western horizon, represents a
picturesque sense. When the glowing sun disappears, the sky studded with stars,
offers us another excellent sight that stirs our imagination.
In
Bangladesh
the autumn is a dream season. Different kinds of crops & fruits ripe in
this season. Fields look green with the luxuriant growth of crops. It is the
season of molasses in villages.
There
are some special attractions of this blissful season. Jatra party or folk drams
are held in this season. People love to pass this time in merry making. The
greatest Hindu Festival ‘Durga Puja’ is also celebrated in a befitting manner
in this season. Village fairs are arranged in many villages.
The
autumn is a season of joy, comfort & vivacity. The charms of this season
have dear appeal to me. It makes me imaginative. Many poets compose lyrical
poems appreciating the exquisite beauty of this season. In a word, there is joy
in every sphere of nature.
ENVIRONMENT POLLUTION
Environment
means surrounding of the place where we live. Quite naturally we all want to
live in an environment that is favourable to our health and hygiene. We are in
need of a fresh air, cool shower and green vegetation. But a healthy and
congenial environment is now increasingly becoming scarce. As the civilization
advances with the help of science and technology, the hazards to our health and
environment increase more and more with passing day.
Smoke
and Fumes of motor vehicles are polluting the whole environment constantly. The
Factories and plants are releasing them. Poisonous wastes mix with the water of
our lakes, rivers and seas. The sky over our heads is becoming heavy with such
gases as carbon-di-oxide, methane etc. The ozone sphere above is being depleted
by chlorofloro carbon emitted from some industries and jet planes. We must not
forget that this Ozone sphere protects us from the deadly effects of the
Ultra-violet rays of the sun. Even the natural process of purifying the earth’s
atmosphere is being destroyed by an unprecedented scale of deforestation
everywhere in the world.
If
environment pollution is allowed to go on like this, the world is going to be
dangerous to live in. The ecological balance has already been seriously
affected. The world’s climate has already changed a great deal and many species
of wildlife are becoming extinct. Everybody is aware of the problem, but what
is now urgently needed is finding suitable remedies to the problem. All
necessary steps must immediately be undertaken to protect the environment for
the greatest welfare of humanity and mankind.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING ENGLISH IN OUR LIFE
English is an international language. Almost every
nation of the world depends on this language for national and international
affairs .In our country, English is also used to a large extent. And the
importance of learning English has become the chief concern for us.
In order to achieve higher education in a university
in our country as well as in the other foreign countries we need to learn
English because all the books of university level are written in English. As a
result, people who want to receive high education have no alternatives of
learning this language.
At present, in our country, the success in the
competition for jobs totally depends on the skill and knowledge of English.
Those who can speak, write, and read English are given much priority. They are
considered qualified and competent for the jobs. As a result, the learning of
English language has become a pre-requisite for a professional career.
Both in national and international level, English
is very necessary. English is used largely for our official purpose, in
seminars and symposiums. The talks on different issues involving a foreign
country are held in English. The bilateral relations, the deals for different
social-economic as well as political affairs between two countries are also
conducted in English.
To understand the modern scientific and
technological researches and development, it is necessary for us to learn
English. Without knowing English, we cannot develop our scientific and
technological knowledge.
In order to know the culture and literature of the
present world, we must have good command in English language. The outstanding literary
works are either written or translated into this language.
In
fact, the learning of English has become a part and parcel of our education as
well as our professional life. Now a day, everybody is interested and eager to
learn this language in order to build up a smooth and bright future.
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF MODERN SCIENCE

CELEBRATING PAHELA BAISHAKH
Pahela Baishakh is one of the most popular
public celebrations in Bangladesh.
This day bears special significance and importance for our culture, literature
and civilization as well. Every year this cultural and traditional day is

new life with fresh hopes, dreams and vitality. Pahela Baishadk lasts for only
one day, but this short tme is considered more significant and important than a
week or month. Pahela Baishakh is observed throughout the whole country both in
towns and villages. In cities, alifferent socio-cultural organizations chalkout

morning and pass the festive day by enjoying themselves. Pahela Baishakh opens
a new chapter of life. This reminds us of the ageold traditions of our society.
It also gives us a rare opportunity for merriment and festivity
PROBLEMS OF CITY LIFE
Most of the cities of our country have been
founded in an unplanned manner. So, the problems of city life are numerous.
Pollution in
cities is a general problem of our country. Air and water have been polluted.
The cause of air pollution is black-smoke emitted from buses, trucks, car,
mills etc. The water in cities is not safe because of mismanagement. There is
also sound pollution in city. Pollution problem is increasing day by day. There
are office problems which the people of different cities have to face. Soon
path of the cities occupied by vendors and hawkers. So the pedestrains are
mostly victims. We notice a pile of garloage. It is not removed in time. As a
result, it spreads unpleasant smell. There are problems of unemployment,
transportation etc.
We are
unlucky that our cities are full of problems. It is quite unexpected. So, quick
remedy of these problems is required to enjoy a easy and peaceful life in
cities.
Habitation
problem in cities is very much acute. A large number of people are migrating
from rural area to city for employment. But there is not sufficient
accommodation for these migrating people in cities. Especially, the Dhaka city faces these problems intensively. Many people
have to pass night under open sky.
Traffic Jam is another dreadful problem in the
cities. There are traffic Jams in every city more or less in our country. But Dhaka, the capital city, experiences big traffic Jam. The
television screen displays the big traffic Jam of the Dhaka
city.
