Load Shedding: A paucity of power generation
Load shedding has become a very common affair in our daily life these days. The people living in the areas supplied with electricity are quite familiar with the term load shedding. In the modern world electricity plays a very important role in regulating our life. Any interruption in the supply of this vital item of energy can put the whole system out of order and simultaneously can paralyse our daily activities. In our country there is hardly any area which is not affected by load shedding. Load shedding means the discontinuation of supply of electricity. Load shedding occurs when generation of power is less than the demand and when we distribute electricity wrongly. It creates many problems of far-reaching consequences in the economic and social development of the country. Most of the mills and factories become idle and for this reason industrial production declines and workers are retrenched. Social works and activities cannot go in order. Students cannot study properly because of the failure of electricity. During load shedding they are to study in dim candlelight. The housewife gropes in the darkness in the kitchen. The shops are to close down before the closing time. Spectators in the cinema hall spend hours in stuffy suffocation for load shedding. All types of productions stop and the entire life comes to a standstill during the period of load shedding. So, proper steps should be taken to stop load shedding. By establishing more power plants, power houses and by stopping unplanned distribution of electricity, illegal connection and reducing system loss, we can solve this problem.
LOAD SHEDDING
Load shedding is a word that has been added to our terminology in recent years. Load shedding means a temporary power cut. Nowadays it has assumed a serious proportion. It is now prolonged, frequent, widespread and without any method or system. This nuisance of load shedding hits hard all ----- students, factory workers, office-goers, professional people and even housewives and little babies. The supply of electricity cannot keep pace with its increasing demand. So, power, that is, electricity has to be temporarily cut. As a result, large areas remain dark for hours without electricity. During such load-shedding, many areas of a big city are engulfed at night in darkness. People sweat without fans, patients cannot be X-rayed or operated in hospitals. Radio and television become dead. Trade and industry become almost paralysed and production is badly hampered. The worker loses his wages just as the management suffers losses. The causes of load-shedding are known to us. With the grown of towns, cities and industries, more electricity will be consumed. So, new power stations must be set up and the old machinery should be replaced in time. More care should also be taken for the proper maintenance of the existing installations.
Load Shedding
Temporary absence of supply of electricity to a particular area is called 'Load Shedding'. Nowadays it has become a daily occurrence in cities and suburbs. There is hardly any area which is not affected by it. Cinema halls, houses, shops, factories, hospitals, markets, night schools, colleges and other parts, of a locality are badly affected by it. The industrial areas are affected for the time being. Production is hampered due to failure of electricity. Even operation stops in hospitals due to load shedding. The students can not prepare themselves for their examinations due to failure of electricity. Thieves and pick-pockets freely prowl in the streets and locality. That is, it greatly affects the domestic, social and economic life of Bangladesh. It should not be allowed to continue in such a way. This unbearable situation is bound to continue unless proper actions are taken to prevent it. So, the Government should think over the matter deeply and take necessary steps to check the real cause of load-shedding as early as possible.

Power-cut (Load-shedding)
Bangladesh is a small and developing country. which faces a lot of major problems. Of them, power-cut is very acute and frightful in our land. Load-shedding means the sudden disconnection (failure) of the supply of electricity for a short period in a particular area. It usually occurs in cities, towns, industrial and remote areas. But it is very acute (,8u) in. industrial and remote areas. Today it has become one of the most alarming problems in Bangladesh because it occurs many times in an area in a day. The causes of load-shedding are many in our country. Less production of electricity than the demand is the root cause of power-cut. Illegal connection of electricity is another root cause of it. Illiteracy is mainly liable for this severe problem. Population explosion and social unawareness (AINIF" are also severely responsible for load-shedding in Bangladesh. Our old grade electric plants cause this problem drastically. Load-shedding hampers production in mills and factories tremendously It also hinders our agriculture drastically. Power-cut disturbs houses, shops, offices, banks, hospitals and clinics etc. Load-shedding curves -4-.qck) our social and national development activities and efforts. The students close their books and sit in idle during power-cut. So it is a great curse to them. The old power plants should be replaced. Illegal connection must be stopped, illiteracy must be removed from the society and public awareness should be raised in order to lessen power‑cut. Population explosion must be controlled with iron hand. Our development plans and programmes will not be successful unless we can check load-shedding properly. The value of honesty and sincerity should be taught.
A LIBRARY
A library is a collection of books on various subjects. The word ‘library’ is derived from the Latin word ‘libre’ which means a book. But in actual use a library means a house where books are kept for use by the readers. Libraries are of two kinds, private or personal and public.

Public libraries are often attached to educational institutions. Every school or college has a library maintained by its authorities. Both the students and the teachers use books from this library. A librarian and some assistants are appointed to help the teachers and the students in choice of books. Some large public libraries are independent institutions. They are maintained and financed by public donation and subscription. There are national libraries like the Public Library of Dhaka and British Council. They are very large and they contain books on various subjects. Libraries are a necessity for all people who boasts of some culture. A library helps the spread of knowledge and culture among the people. It leads to the intellectual progress of a nation.

LIFE IN A BIG CITY
City life is a pleasant to the rich people. They can enjoy all sorts of comforts in town. In a big city the rich people have colleges and schools for higher education. Doctors, nurse and hospitals are available in town. There is a good facility for trades, commerce and industry in town. Most of the people have source of earning. There are clubs all libraries which one can join as member, and cinemas that one can enjoy for joy and pleasure. There is also good communication in a big city. But city life is not free from defects. Life in a big city is complex and difficult. It makes people more or less complex. People in town are always busy with their own affairs and no time to look after another. Big city is rather nasty with it dust, filth and boat smell. Vehicles play constantly in town. Accidents occur here every now and then. Cheats, pick-pockets, hijackers are abundant in town. Even all necessary things are available in town. We need for culture, education and amusement. So, we should try to eliminate the disadvantages of city life and this is nothing impossible to do.
THE LIBERATION WAR
The Liberation War of Bangladesh took place in 1971. The war lasted for nine months. The war was a protest of the freedom-loving people of this country against the attack of the Pakistani soldiers. When the war broke out, Samira was only three years old. She cannot remember much about it. Her cousin, Laila couldn’t remember anything because she was only two years old then. But Mrs. Dewan, Samira’s mother can remember much. She tells the children one particular event. There were lots of shouts and bangs outside one night. Samira wanted to look out, but they didn’t let her as it was very dangerous. In fact, all the members of the family hid under the bed out of fear. The next day, they left their village and went to Laila’s village. They stayed with her family for two or three months. The Liberation War was a fierce one. But it was a glorious time also. Everyone wanted to do something for the country. In the war about thirty lacs of people laid down their lives. Their sacrifice didn’t go in vain. After nine month’s fierce fighting our freedom fighters became victorious. We got independence on the 16th December, 1971.
LIFE IN A CITY
Life in a city has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of living in a big city are many. The city dwellers enjoy certain facilities and comforts which the villages lack. They have got well-lighted streets and roads. They have transports and houses with all modem facilities. There are also fine shops here and there. They have got modem hospitals for their treatment. They can have also all kinds of social amusements. Further, they can get the best education at schools, colleges and universities. They can go to public libraries, museums, art galleries and so on to stimulate their minds. But city life has some drawbacks too. Life in a city lacks of a strong bond of fellow feeling. The rapid life, the foul and smoky atmosphere often tell upon the health and shorten a man's life. Lastly, city life is more or less artificial. Most of the time real pleasure of life is absent here.
