And o'er and o'er the sand, As far as eye could see The rolling mist came down and hid the land; And never home came she. "Oh! is it weed, or fish, or floating hair— A tress of golden hair, A drowned maiden's hair Above the nets at sea? Was never salmon yet that shone so fair Among the stakes on Dee." They rowed her in across the rolling foam, The cruel crawling foam, The cruel hungry foam, To her grave beside the sea: But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home Across the sands of Dee. 3.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be; But thou.thereon dids't only breathe.

No nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands Of travellers in some shady haunt. Among Arabian sands: A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In spring-time from the cuckoo-bird, Breaking the silence of the seast Among the farthest Hebrides. Will no one tell me what she sings? Perhaps, the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending:- I listened, motionless and still; And. as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore. Long after it was heard no more 10. Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words).

When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze, Continuous as the starts that shine And twinkle in the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.. The waves beside them danced; but-they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company; I gazed- and gazed- but little thought What wealth they show to me had brought; For oft when on my couch In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the biliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. 11.

PROSE SUMMARY WORKSEET-5.1 ​ Unseen Comprehension 01 Read the passage and write a summary in no more than 90 to 100 words. ​ Man is a social being. He needs other people's company to lead his life smoothly. But some people prefer to live alone because they think human society is full of problems and sufferings, quarrels, ill-feelings, jealousy, enmity, etc. So, once upon a time a young man named Majnu decided to live by himself on an island far away from the locality. He sailed for the island by boat with necessary equipment’s. On reaching there he built a little hut with wood, bamboo and reeds. "Now I'm the solitary king of this island!" said the man to himself. He used to catch fish from the river for survival. He was passing his time happily in the midst of loneliness and abundance. But after a few days he realized that it is awfully boring to - live on fishes only. Moreover, the toughest job for him was to make fire and cook foods. One day he became seriously ill. He suffered a lot since there was nobody to treat and take care of him. When he came round, he went to the mainland to have a wife so that she could prepare his foods and make his life easier. Together they also cultivated the island for crops, vegetables and fruits. Then children were born to them, and the man found himself again in a family. So the idea of living alone is not apt for human race. People need food, shelter, companions and cooperation. They need to help each other. And if they live in a family or community, their needs can be fulfilled. Hence living in society can make people good and happy citizens. Unseen Comprehension 02 Read the passage and write a summary in no more than 90 to 100 words. ​ The National Memorial at Savar is a symbol of the nation's respect for the martyrs of the War of Liberation. It is built with concrete, but made of blood. It stands 150 feet tall, but every martyr it stands for stands so much taller. It is an achievement the dimensions of which can be measured, but it stands for an achievement which is immeasurable. It stands upright for the millions of martyrs who laid down their lives so that we may stand upright, in honour and dignity, amongst the nations of the world. Most prominently visible is the 150 feet tower that stands on a base measuring 130 feet wide. There is actually a series of 7 towers that rise by stages to a height of 150 feet. The foundation was laid on the first anniversary of the Victory Day. There is actually a plan to build a huge complex in several phases. The entire complex will cover an area of 126 acres. The plan of this complex includes a mosque, a library and a museum. The relics of the Liberation War will be kept in the museum. They will ever remind our countrymen and all who would come to visit the museum of the valiant struggle and supreme sacrifices of a freedom loving people. Here also will be a clear warning to all oppressors that the weapons of freedom need not be very big, and that oppression will always be defeated. The will of people prevails, for man is born to be free. The most moving sight of the complex is the several graves of the martyred freedom fighters close to the tower. Standing in front of the graves we bow down our heads in respect, as the towers soar up symbolizing the loftiness of, their spirit.

Happiness is the symbol of satisfaction and gratification. Happiness lies at the root of all splendid performances. However, everybody wishes to be happy on earth. Happiness is a very relative matter. Happiness is a state of mental condition that makes a man satisfied with his incomes, findings and activities. However, happiness can't be perceived by adopting any kind of illegal policy that is harmful to other's happiness. There is no denying the fact that happiness is the vibration of our heart, soul and mind that assists us to sleep a sound sleep with romantic dreams. One should be satisfied with what one has and what one gets. If one hankers after more, the anxiety to achieve more destroys one's peace of mind. Some people of the society are envious of other's wealth. One can enjoy self-sufficiency by utilizing what one has. The more one gets, the more one wants. But one has to develop the mentality to be pleased with little. Happiness does not consist in things, but in thoughts of contentment. In the real sense of the term, no man can get happiness without being honest and contented. It is our interest to be honest so that we may get happiness. All those who seem to be happy in the world just feel satisfied with their ownselves. Happiness makes everything different. It makes everybody calm and quiet. ​ Unseen Comprehension 04 Read the passage and write a summary in no more than 90 to 100 words. ​ Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four skills which should be developed separately by a person wishing to bring about full command over a language. But, in Bangladesh, the courses followed in different levels put emphasis on 'writing' and 'reading', whereas 'speaking' and listening' do not receive even a minimum focus. Of course, everybody knows that every language is basically spoken. If one cannot produce sentences verbally, it is known that his/her language learning has not been completed. It is true that all the prescribed texts contain instructions encouraging the students to hold conversation in English on a wide variety of topics. But the interesting fact is that the students need not face any test which can fathom their ability to speak or listen. So, the absence of test or evaluating verbal competence is thus directly responsible for poor speaking and listening skills of the students. But in our practical life the importance of good working knowledge is not unknown to us. So, in this context the government has introduced the communicative process in which all these four skills will get equal importance or emphasis. Distribution of marks has been made judiciously so that the plan undertaken can be fully realized and successful. Moreover with this end in view, the teachers are being specially trained. It is hoped that in course of time we will get a nation having a good command over this language. Unseen Comprehension 05 ​ Read the passage and write a summary in no more than 90 to 100 words. ​ Change is life, change is progress, change is culture and civilization, while stagnation is the arrest of development and nothing but decay, death and destruction. Nothing great in this world is static; everything noble is dynamic. True it is in all walks and spheres of life. Evolution and revolution is the law of nature, it is the root of all progress, all formation and all development. Time has always been on the move and there are ups and downs, rises and falls of human civilization, human culture and there is man's test and zest, inclinations and motives, liking and disliking. Monotony is distaste; variety is the spice of life, change is life and its zest, its interest its meanings. In human institutions rise and fall happen and old order and discipline, old rules and regulations, old system and process—everything yields to new and surrenders to new conditions and demands. If there were no change, our life would be dull, dreary and meaningless. Our life is liveable, romantic and desirable only because of change and alternation, modification and revision, newness and nobility. And of this change of taste and zest, motives and inclinations, we have seen kingdoms and democratic state, capitalism and socialism, nationalism and internationalism. To speak bluntly, the secret of a nation's strength rests basically on its capacity for change and readjustment. Here we should not forget to note that there have been radical changes and gradual changes in the history of civilization. In either case of violent or smooth change human civilization may be beset with dangers and difficulties, odds and disadvantages but the laws of life and nature continue working, nothing remains in its state. In short, the old ideas and old values of life become weakened and disintegrated. With the progress of time new ideas and new values of life, no matter social, political, cultural, religions, emerge out of the debris of the old.

A man who does not read the newspaper daily, is like a frog in a narrow well. Being ignorant of current topics, he cannot take part in the talks and discussions of an enlightened society and he seems like a fish out of water in it. The newspaper is a dainty in a dish of varieties; such as the news of current affairs, trade and commerce, films and sports etc. Moreover, the views of scholars on different subjects are discussed. All these have some educative values and we must have the habit of reading newspapers regularly as it is a blessing of modem civilization. But one should bear in mind that sometimes newspapers bear comments of diverse nature and interests by the reporters and critics from various angles. We should not be blindly influenced by these comments but should keep an open mind to the facts and problems.

Facebook has both uses and abuses. Its merits in the field of friends-making, connecting people, chaffing, job-seeking and business expanding cannot be denied.

That English is a foreign language is the main reason. In other words, students have no good feeling with English. Very few of them are earnest in learning. What the students seek is to cross the stairs of examinations. To most of them learning is unpleasant and examination is fearful. Secondly, teaching a foreign language becomes very difficult when the learners are not mentally keen to the subject. In that situation, a teacher of English can hardly find out a technique suitable to all. They fail to motivate learners that they must master the four skills of language and that there is no easy way of learning a foreign language. In short, they fail to make language learning interesting. The most important matter is that the text books in different classes are not harmonious with the stages and the standards of the learners. In the college level, the topics are not suitable for the world that teenagers belong to. Finally, the motto of the questions in the public examination induces cramming rather than learning the language. The faulty motto of the question persuades the students to run after the so called touch and pass system. It is high time, we did something to save the students from the disgrace of being unsuccessful.

They would be held as a contest not among the Greeks but among the nations of the world. He hoped that athletes and sportsmen meeting every four years and competing against one another would make themselves friendly to one another. His suggestion was not immediately accepted.

It occurs because of the production of carbon dioxide in our environment. Its amount is increasing day by day. The main cause of it is the burning of fossil fuels. Since the end of the 19th century industrial activities increased rapidly giving rise to many factories. These factories required energy, which was produced through the combustion of coal. Besides coal, other sources of energy such as mineral oil and natural gas were also burnt to heat the house, move cars and airplanes or to produce electricity. Nowadays, about 85 million barrels of crude oil are burnt daily. Every time a fossil raw material is burnt, it releases carbon dioxide into the air. Besides burning fossil fuels, we are leading the earth towards deforestation through cutting down trees. Trees absorb significant amount of carbon dioxide from the air and deliver oxygen instead which in turns, helps us survive. Although we can't control the cosmological movement of the earth or the change in the environment, we can control the greenhouse effect by reducing the emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
