Read the passage and answer the questions A and B :–– One of the sources of water in our country are the rivers. Rivers are everywhere in our life, literature, economy, and culture. But are the rivers in good shape? Unfortunately, they are not. A fer are already dead and several are going through the pangs of death. The river Buriganga is an example of a dying river. A report published in the Daily Sun describes what has happened to the river Buriganga and why. Its water is polluted and a perpetual strench fills the air around it. But that is not what it was like before. The report says that the river has a glorious past. Once it was a tributary of the mighty Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal through the river Dhaleswari. Gradually, it lost its link with the Ganges and got the name Buriganga. The Mughals marveled at the tide level of the Buriganga and founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks in 1610. The river supplied drinking water and supported trade and commerce. Jahangirnagar was renamed Dhaka which grew into a heavily populated city with a chronic shortage of space. The city paid back the bounty of the river by sucking life out of it! According to newspaper report, the Buriganga is dying because of pollution. Huge quantities of toxic chemicals and wastes from mills and factories, hospitals and clinics and households and other establishments are dumped into the river everyday. The city of Dhaka discharges about 4500 tons of solid waste everyday and most of it is directly released into the Buriganga. According to the department of the Environment (DoE) 20,000 tons of tannery waste, including some highly toxic materials are released into the river everyday. Experts identified nine industrial areas in and around the capital city as the primary sources of river pollution: Tongi, Tejgaon, Hazaribagh, Tarabo, Narayanganj, Savar, Gazipur, Dhaka Export Processing Zone and Ghorashal.

Rule 38: Use a singular verb when a collective noun (like "twenty miles") refers to a single unit. Example: Twenty miles is not a long distance. Rule 39: "Beside" means "at the side of" or "next to," while "besides" means "as well as" or "in addition to." Examples: There is a tree beside the river. He has none to help him besides you. Rule 40: Use "between" when referring to two items or people and "among" when referring to more than two items or people. Examples: He divided his money between his wife and his daughter. Divide the mangoes among the boys. Rule 41: Use "since" with a point of time (e.g., since Sunday) and "for" with a period of time (e.g., for a week). When using "since," the tense in the main clause should match with "since," and when using "for," use the past tense. Examples: It has been raining since Sunday last. He begins English from today. I have not seen him for a week. Rule 42: Use plural verbs after subjects connected by "and." If the subject consists of "and" followed by a singular noun, use "no" or "not" to make the subject negative, and use a singular verb. Examples: Rahim and Karim are two brothers. Only girls and no boy are guilty. Rule 43: Use singular verbs when the subject consists of a singular noun followed by "and" and another singular noun. Examples: The Chairman and Headmaster of the school is coming. Bread and butter is my favorite food. Rule 44: Indefinite subjects such as "any one," "either," "neither," "anything," "each," "everyone," "everything," "no one," "nothing," "whatever," and "whoever" take singular verbs. When referring to "all," "any," or "some," use plural verbs. Examples: The first two problems are very difficult, but the rest are easy. Either of these buses goes past the university. Every pupil has a book. Each boy was wicked. Rule 45: Use singular verbs when the subject consists of "each" or "every" followed by "and" and another singular noun. Examples: Each boy and each girl was present in the prize-giving ceremony. Every man, woman, and child was affected by the recent flood. Rule 46: When the subject consists of a singular subject followed by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," use singular verbs. Examples: Rahim or Karim has been present in the meeting. Either Rahim or Karim was present in the meeting. Neither Rahim nor Karim is guilty. Rule 47: When the subject consists of a singular subject followed by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," and the subject contains both singular and plural elements, use a plural verb. Examples: Nice or her friends have insulted the gentleman. Neither Fahmida nor her colleagues were hurt. Rule 48: When the subject contains different persons (e.g., first person, second person) connected by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," use the verb form that matches the first person mentioned. Examples: Either he or I have done this. Neither you nor he is to blame. Either you or he or I shall go to the market. Rule 49: When subjects consist of a combination of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person (e.g., you, he, and I), use a plural verb form. The formula "231 (2nd 3rd 1st)" indicates the order of persons in the subject. In cases where the formula is "123 (1st 2nd 3rd)," use the verb in its plural form. Examples: You, he, and I are close friends. I, you, and he are guilty. Rule 50: When dealing with collective nouns, use singular verbs. However, when referring to groups within a collective noun, use plural verbs. Collective nouns refer to groups as a single entity, while plural verbs emphasize the individual members within the group. Examples: The jury consists of five persons. The jury were divided in their opinions. The committee has agreed to take a unanimous decision. The committee are divided in respect of details. Rule 51: Some nouns remain the same in both singular and plural forms, such as "deer," "sheep," "piece," "public," "dozen," "score," "thousand," etc. Examples: I have five deer (not deers). I have five thousand (not thousands) taka. Rule 52: Collective and group nouns can take both singular and plural verbs. If the emphasis is on the group acting as one entity, use a singular verb. If the focus is on the individual members within the group, use a plural verb. Examples: The police are watching the house. The cattle are grazing in the field. Rule 53: Some nouns like "wages," "news," "physics," "politics," "gallows," etc., always take singular verbs. Examples: Physics is my favorite subject. Ill-news runs apace. The wages of sin is true. Rule 54: When you have a subject that is a noun followed by "but" and then another noun, use a singular verb. However, if you have "more than one" followed by a singular noun, use a singular verb. If you have "more than two" or "more than three" followed by a plural noun, use a plural verb. Examples: More than one boy is guilty. More than five scholars have participated in the writing ceremony. Rule 55: When using phrases like "as well as," "with," and "together with," the verb should agree with the subject that comes before them, which is typically the singular noun. If the subject before these phrases is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject before these phrases is plural, the verb should be plural. Examples: The Chairman with all the members of his council was present in the meeting. Rahim, together with some of his bosom friends, has come here. Sapon, as well as Ripon, deserves praise. Rule 56: When using correlative conjunctions like "Not only... but also," the verb should agree with the subject that follows "not only." If that subject is singular, the verb should be singular; if it's plural, the verb should be plural. Examples: Not only Rahim but also his friends are watching the television. The objective is not only to identify the problem but also to solve it. Rule 57: When using relative pronouns, the verb should agree with the antecedent (the noun to which the relative pronoun refers) in terms of number and person. Examples: It is I who am to blame. You who are my friend should stand by me. This is the boy who is my friend. Rule 58: When using pronouns like "anybody," "everybody," "anyone," "everyone," and "each," they are considered singular and should take singular pronouns like "his" or "her." Examples: Anybody can do this if he likes. Everyone likes to have his way. Each of the boys will do his duty. One should do one's duty. Rule 59: When using comparative structures with "than" or "as," the case of the pronoun should match the case of the pronoun in the other part of the comparison, and the verb should agree accordingly. Examples: She is smaller than I (am). I like you better than he (likes you). Rule 60: When dealing with nouns preceded by "many a" or "many an," use a singular noun form, and the verb should also be in the singular form. When using "a great many," "a good many," or "too many," use the plural form of the noun and the verb in its plural form. Examples: Many a boy is dull of hearing. Many an orphan was begging from door to door. A great many boys were absent from the class. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Rule 61: Some nouns are always plural in form but may refer to a single object or concept. For these nouns, use a plural verb form. Examples: The shirts need (not needs) cleaning. Smallpox has (not have) broken out there. Your new glasses are (not is) very nice. Here are some examples of always plural nouns: Pair nouns: bellows, scissors, glasses, spectacles Articles of dress: trousers, drawers, breeches, shorts Names of diseases: mumps (but not smallpox, measles) Names of games: billiards Other nouns: ashes, alms, assets, annals, fetters, proceeds, aborigines, thanks, tidings, vegetables, belongings, goods, clothes, congratulations, earnings, particulars, premises, riches, surroundings, etc. Rule 62: Some nouns are always singular in form, even though they may refer to multiple objects or concepts. For these nouns, use a singular verb form. Examples: He gave me much abuse (not abuses) for no fault. My house is full of new furniture (not furniture’s). He gave me all the information (not information’s). Here are some examples of always singular in form nouns: abuse, alphabet, furniture, information, issue, offspring, poetry, scenery Rule 63: When using "before," "after," and "when" in sentences, "before" and "when" are used with past perfect tense, while "after" is used with simple past tense. Examples: The patient died after the doctor had come. The patient had died before the doctor came. I had done the job when the manager came. Rule 64: When using "hardly" and "scarcely," these words are followed by "had" and indicate that an event occurred immediately after another event. Examples: Hardly had we reached the station when the train left. Scarcely had we started when it began to rain. Rule 65: The definite article "the" is used before nation and race (RvwZ). Additionally, "the" is used with road, street, and avenue. However, "the" is not used with English (as a language). Examples: The English are intelligent and industrious. English is an international language. I have a fine piano. The shirt is bought from KDA Avenue. He was born on Larkana Road. Rule 66: "Across" and "through" have different meanings: "Across" typically suggests movement from one side to another, often implying a surface or boundary that is crossed. Example: He walked across (not through) the ice. "Through" suggests movement within or along a medium or space, often indicating penetration or passage from one end to another. Example: He drove through (not across) several towns. Rule 67: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns. Ensure proper use of adverbs and adjectives to maintain correct sentence structure. Examples: We will have to think quickly (not quick). I don’t remember him very well (not good). It is terribly (not terrible) cold today. The curry is very badly (not bad) cooked. They are playing unusually (not usual) fast. Rule 68: "Affect" is a verb that means to influence or produce a change in something, typically an action or feeling. "Effect" is a noun that refers to the result or outcome of an action. Examples: The war seriously affected petrol prices. The war had a serious effect on petrol prices. Rule 69: "Ago" is used to indicate a specific time in the past, counting back from the present. "Before" is used with past perfect tense to indicate a time before another past event. Examples: I met that woman in Dhaka three years ago (not before). When I was talking, I found out that I had been at school with her husband ten years before (not ago). Rule 70: "Along" is used as a preposition to describe movement alongside something, such as a road, river, corridor, or line. "Through" indicates movement within or penetration through something. Examples: I saw her running along the road (not through). This train goes straight through (not along) Dhaka. Rule 71: "Appear" and "seem" are used to describe subjective impressions or feelings about something. Use "appear" or "seem" based on whether the speaker is describing an objective fact or their own perception or feeling. Examples: The baby seems/appears hungry. She does not want to go on with studying: It seems (not appear) a pity. Rule 72: Use "at," "in," and "on" to indicate different time expressions: "At" is used for specific clock times: I usually get up at six o'clock. "At" is also used for weekends: What did you do at the weekend? "In" is used for parts of the day: I work best in the morning. "In" is used for longer periods: I was born in March in 1990. "On" is used for specific days: I will ring you on Tuesday. "On" is used for public holidays: Come and see on Friday. "At" is used for specifying exact times within the hour: I was born in 1971 in January on Sunday at 2:00. Rule 73: Use "at," "in," and "on" with places: "In" is used for countries, states, provinces, cities, and rooms: We live in the United States in North Carolina in Jacksonville on the east coast on New River at 2600 River Road. "On" is used for streets, addresses, coasts, buildings, rivers, parks, ships, cars, trains, boats, and places: We live on River Road. Rule 74: "Due to" and "owing to" are used interchangeably to mean "because of" or "caused by." Use them when followed by a verb "to be." Examples: Due to/owing to the bad weather, the match was canceled. His success was due to (not owing to) his mother. Rule 75: "Lay" is a regular verb used to mean putting something down carefully or flat. Its forms are "lay," "laid," "lain." Examples: I laid the papers on the table. "Lie" is an irregular verb used to mean saying things that are not true. Its forms are "lie," "lied," "lied." Examples: You lied to me when you said you loved me. Rule 76: "Like" is a preposition used with nouns or pronouns. "As" is a conjunction used to introduce clauses. Examples: You look like (not as) your sister. Nobody knows her as (not like) I do. Rule 77: "Neither...nor" is used to express a negative idea. Both parts should agree in number with a singular verb when applicable. Examples: I neither smoke nor drink. The film was neither well made nor well acted. Rule 78: "Either...or" is used for making a choice between two options. Examples: You can either have tea or coffee. I don’t speak either French or German. Either you will leave this house, or I will call the police. Rule 79: "Both...and" is used for parallel structures. Ensure balance in parallel structures. Examples: She's both pretty and clever (adjectives). I spoke to both her director and her secretary (nouns). She both dances and sings (verbs). Rule 80: Some verbs and phrases have specific prepositions that should be used. Here are some examples: Don’t believe (not in) her. We had better discuss (not about) your fraud plan. When I entered (not into) the room, everybody stopped talking. Your brother lacks (not of) wit. She married (not with) her friend. The child does not resemble (not to) either of its parents. The train is now approaching (not to) London Paddington. Rule 81: Use "whether" or "if" for indirect yes/no questions. Both can be used, but "whether" is more formal. Examples: I am not sure whether/if I will have time. We discussed whether/if we should close the shop (after a verb). I have not settled the question of whether/if I will go back home (after a preposition). They cannot decide whether/if to get married now or wait (before "to" + infinitive). Rule 82: Use the present form of verbs with time expressions such as "everyday, always, never, every, something, often, regularly, usually, now and then." Examples: Rahim goes (not went / has gone) to school every day. He never tells (not tell) a lie. It very often rains (not rain) here in April. He regularly appears (not appear) on television. Rule 83: "Used to" is followed by the base form of a verb, while "be used to" is followed by a gerund form. Examples: She used to get up early. She was used to getting up early.

Rule 86: Some phrasal verbs are followed by the "-ing" form, including "approve of, don’t mind, look forward to, get through, keep on, insist on, forget about."

Rule 87: Use the future indefinite tense with time expressions such as "tomorrow, the next day, next week, in the future, in the long run, in the course of time, next year." Examples: He will come to his village next year. The boy will be a great poet in the course of time. Rule 88: When or while introducing a past continuous action, use past continuous for the action in progress and past simple for the interrupting action. Examples: I was reading a book when he came in. The boy fell down while he was running. Rule 89: "Each other" is used for two people, while "one another" is used for more than two. Examples: The two boys quarreled with each other. The three women quarreled with one another. Rule 90: "A number of," "a large number of," and "a lot of" take plural verbs. Examples: A number of boys have seen the principal. A lot of books have been damaged. Rule 91: Words like "half," "part," "rest of," "three-fourths," and "two-thirds" are followed by a singular noun when referring to one thing but a plural noun when referring to multiple things. Examples: Half of the egg is rotten. The rest of the book is dull. Half of the milk was spilled by the child. Three-fourths of the students have taken the examination.

English has eight main parts of speech. We’ll look at a brief overview of each below; continue on to their individual chapters to learn more about them. Nouns Nouns are words that identify or name people, places, or things. Nouns can function as the subject of a clause or sentence, an object of a verb, or an object of a preposition. Words like cat, book, table, girl, and plane are all nouns. Pronouns Pronouns are words that represent nouns (people, places, or things). Grammatically, pronouns are used in the same ways as nouns; they can function as subjects or objects. Common pronouns include I, you, she, him, it, everyone, and somebody. Verbs Verbs are words that describe the actions—or states of being—of people, animals, places, or things. Verbs function as the root of what’s called the predicate, which is required (along with a subject) to form a complete sentence; therefore, every sentence must include at least one verb. Verbs include action words like run, walk, write, or sing, as well as words describing states of being, such as be, seem, feel, or sound. Adjectives Adjectives are words that modify (add description to) nouns and (occasionally) pronouns. They can be a part of either the subject or the predicate. Common adjectives are red, blue, fast, slow, big, tall, and wide. Adverbs Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or even entire clauses. Depending on what they modify (and how), adverbs can appear anywhere in the sentence. Adverbs are commonly formed from adjectives by adding “-ly” to the end, as in slowly, quickly, widely, beautifully, or commonly. Prepositions Prepositions are words that express a relationship between a noun or pronoun (known as the object of the preposition) and another part of the sentence. Together, these form prepositional phrases, which can function as adjectives or as adverbs in a sentence. Some examples of prepositional phrases are: on the table, in the shed, and across the field. (The prepositions are in bold.) Conjunctions Conjunctions are words that connect other words, phrases, or clauses, expressing a specific kind of relationship between the two (or more) elements. The most common conjunctions are the coordinating conjunctions: and, but, or, nor, for, so, and yet. Interjection Interjection is a word which expresses some sudden feeling or emotion. Some examples are: Alas! Hurrah! Bravo!

Only a few of these days occupy a corner in our heart. - My first day at college is such a day. I shall never forget this day. From my. school days I heard a lot about college life from my college going elder brothers and sisters. I formed a very romantic impression of a college life. So, I was eagerly waiting for that happy and romantic college life. At last the cherished day came. It was the 26th of October 1992. My joys knew no bounds. I put on my new dress and started for Govt. B.L. College at 9 A.M. I was charmed to see the attractive and beautiful college building. I understood that the college life opened before me a new vision of life and I must go forward. The whole college campus was crowded by lots of young- pupils both male and female. They were all unknown to me. I felt very lonely. I was moving here and there. I was in a fix where to go. At last I met one of my school friends. I was relieved. We exchanged greetings. We went to the notice board of the college and wrote down class routine. There were many new comers. They were also taking the routine. I found that the classes are not held in a particular room. I Will have to change my class room. From the routine I also learnt that there were intervals. When the bell for the first period rang, we entered the room number 223. I found many students sitting. After a while, a well dresed, handsome gentleman entered the class. He was a professor of English. All the students stood up to show him respect. He called over the rolls.. He spoke to us very softly in simple and clear English. I liked his speech very much. His speech was meaningful. I listened to him with undivided attention. Reflective- Composition Unemployment Problem in Bangladesh Unemployment means the state of being without any work both for educated and uneducated person, for earning one's livelihood. This problem has become a great concern all over the world. But nowhere in the world this problem is so' acute as in Bangladesh. Thousands of people in our country are without any job. At present the toughest task for any young man is to manage a job. There are many reasons behind unemployment problem. Our country is over populated. The rapid growth of population is the main reason of unemployment problem. Our country is industrially very much lagging behind. In fact the development in this field is very slow. Cottage industries have almost decayed. The few mills, factories and industries that we have can only absorb a limited number of people. Most of the people of our country depend on agriculture. But our cultivable land is very limited. Our present system of- education in stead of giving any solution, creates educated unemployed young men. In our educational system there is no much scope of giving vocational training and technical education to a student. So after taking the highest degree even from the highest seat of learning, they remain unemployed. Our educated young men generally think it to be disgraceful to do any manual work. They prefer service to any kind of business. In order to eradicate this problem we have to mobilize all our energies to this great purpose without wasting time. A large number of mills, factories and industries should be set up where many of our unemployed youths will get the opportunity to work. A great change should be brought in our education system. More importance should be given on professional, vocational and technical education. These will make a opening to work in different industrial sectors both home and abroad. The educated youth should change their attitude to life. They must learn to choose independent career. They can work in agriculture field, cultivate fish, grow vegetables. They can start small business. In fact self employment is a possible solution to this great problem. Steps should be taken to set up co-operative farming, cottage industries and to open new system of public work in the rural areas to create job for the village people. Unemployment is a great curse to a nation. We can not expect the development of our country leaving its millions of people unemployed to survive as a boastful nation. We should made all out efforts to get rid of this curse. Argumentative Composition The Uses and Abuses of Mobile Phone Mobile phone is a telephone system that works without any wire. Mobile phone is one of the wonderful wonders of science. It has added a new dimension to our life and to communication system. It can be moved easily and quickly from place to place. Through Mobile phone we can send messages to distant places, play games and sports, know about present time, solve the work of calculation, be aware of different kinds of news and views. At present the popularity of the mobile phone is increasing. Many companies are also being set up for selling mobile phone. A mobile phone is an electronic device. A sim card inside-the mobile helps us to keep constant with the person. We can keep constant contact with the person carrying a- mobile phone. Just a mobile set is not enough. A connection from a local service provider will ensure the functioning of mobile. The advantages of mobile phone are numerous. Its great advantage is its mobility and portability. It is opposite fixed phone. The overwhelming popularity of mobile has threatened the existence of fixed phone. A mobile phone removes the worries of our dear ones by helping to contact the person concerned any time we like. When we hear of any accident or mishap, we want to and can know about our or near on the spot. Thus a mobile phone can ease our tension. A mobile phone has saved a lot of our time and energy by giving ready access to any person who stays away from us. Just a call from a mobile can make us aware of the coming danger. A warning from a mobile can save our lives. Despite numerous advantages and merits of mobile phone sometimes it becomes the cause of health hazard to the users. Specially the minor children are affected much, scientists believe that use of mobile phone causes brain tumours, genetic damage and many incurable irreparable damage to human body. They` say that millions of people are getting benefits but damaged. The blood pressure gets high and red blood cells (RBC) are damaged if a person gets continued exposure to radiation caused by mobile phone. Using mobile phone is also harmful to the pregnant women. So Bangladesh government should have an official ban on using mobile phone by children and pregnant women. Mobile is a blessing as well as wonder of modern science. We should use it realizing maximum benefits. Misuse of mobile phone should be prevented. People. should be made of the health hazards to be posed by mobile phone. The rate of mobile call charge should be reduced as -much as possible. The minor kids should be prevented from using mobile phone. Talking 'over mobile phone should not be an addiction. However despite its disadvantages the necessity of a mobile phone can not be denied to our practical life. Imaginative Composition If I Were A Politician I am a student and my, career plan is to be a chartered accountant. I have never thought of becoming a politician. I am a politically conscious citizen of the country though I do not like politics. Rather recent dirty and bloody games of politics have made me apathetic to it. But I am also well aware of the fact that politicians lead the country and form the government. Whatever important things happen in the country are made by the politicians. Things do not always turn out according to ones wish. So I might be a politician one day. If I were a politician, I would bring a qualitative change in politics and political leadership. I would take initiative and corrective reforms to improve the state of political affairs. If I were a politician, I would dedicate myself to the service of my people, stand by them in their weal and woes, listen to their sufferings and miseries and try my .best to remove the causes of their sufferings. I know that political freedom is meaningless without economic freedom. Though Bangladesh has achieved political freedom, it has not yet achieved economic freedom. Majority of our people are poor and are deprived of proper education, nutritious food, healthcare and pure ,drinking water. So if I were a politician and elected to the Parliament, I would take practical and long-term measures to remove poverty, create more employment opportimity, speed up economic activities of the country, spread education and reach the benefit of governments development programmes to the doors, of common people. I know that to be a successful politician, people's support is a must. In democratic politics, people hold ultimate power and elect their representatives or reject them. So if I were a politician I would above all serve the people and use all my time and energy, knowledge and experience to improye their condition. I would never abuse my power and never wrongly use my position. A real patriotic and dedicated politician can make history, by bringing smiles to thousands of suffering faces. Politicians make history. If I were a politician, I would try to do something noble to .be a part of history. I do not like cheap popularity. I would. only do the right thing. I know that right decision, right work and right outcome would crown me With success. And what would be more right than doing welfare to people as a politician. 300+ Compositions/Essays written by the students

CHATTOGRAM BOARD ― 2017 ENGLISH (COMPULSORY) FIRST PAPER Read the passage and answer the questions A and B. The term ‘diaspora' is used to refer to people who have left their home lands and settled in other parts of the world, either because they were forced to do so or because they wanted to leave on their own. The word is increasingly used for such people as a collective group and/or a community. The world has seen many diasporas but scholars have been studying the phenomenon with great interest only In recent decades. Among the great diasporas of history is that of the Jewish people, who were forced to leave their lands in ancient times. The movement of Aryans from Central Europe to the Indian nub- continent thousands of years ago is also a noteworthy diaspora, although the causes of this diaspora are unclear. In twentieth century history, the Palestinian diaspora has attracted a lot of attention and been a cause of concern for world leaders because of the plight of Palestinians. There have been massive diasporas in Africa, too, over the centuries, either because of war or because of the ravages of nature.

Dhaka Board – 2017 English First Paper [N. B. ––The figures in the right margin indicate full marks. Answer all the questions.] Part I 1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B :–– One of the sources of water in our country are the rivers. Rivers are everywhere in our life, literature, economy, and culture. But are the rivers in good shape? Unfortunately, they are not. A fer are already dead and several are going through the pangs of death. The river Buriganga is an example of a dying river. A report published in the Daily Sun describes what has happened to the river Buriganga and why. Its water is polluted and a perpetual strench fills the air around it. But that is not what it was like before. The report says that the river has a glorious past. Once it was a tributary of the mighty Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal through the river Dhaleswari. Gradually, it lost its link with the Ganges and got the name Buriganga. The Mughals marveled at the tide level of the Buriganga and founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks in 1610. The river supplied drinking water and supported trade and commerce. Jahangirnagar was renamed Dhaka which grew into a heavily populated city with a chronic shortage of space. The city paid back the bounty of the river by sucking life out of it! According to newspaper report, the Buriganga is dying because of pollution. Huge quantities of toxic chemicals and wastes from mills and factories, hospitals and clinics and households and other establishments are dumped into the river everyday. The city of Dhaka discharges about 4500 tons of solid waste everyday and most of it is directly released into the Buriganga. According to the department of the Environment (DoE) 20,000 tons of tannery waste, including some highly toxic materials are released into the river everyday. Experts identified nine industrial areas in and around the capital city as the primary sources of river pollution: Tongi, Tejgaon, Hazaribagh, Tarabo, Narayanganj, Savar, Gazipur, Dhaka Export Processing Zone and Ghorashal.

Prefixes and suffixes Words with a different grammatical form or meaning can be derived from a base word using prefixes and suffixes. By understanding how these prefixes and suffixes work, it is often easier to deal with unknown vocabulary. You can sometimes see what part of speech a word is (verb, noun, adjective etc.), or additional information that a prefix may give. 1. Changes in grammatical form. The noun 'power' can be used as an adjective by adding the suffix ~ful (powerful). The adverbial form is made by adding the suffix ~ly to the adjective (powerfully). The verb 'to improve' becomes a noun by adding the suffix ~ment (improvement). The same root word can also become a verb (improvise) The noun 'nation' changes into an adjective with the suffix ~al (national), and by adding another suffix ~ize the word changes from an adjective to a verb (nationalize) The adjective 'special' can change to a verb (specialize) or a noun (speciality). 2. Changes in meaning. Prefixes and suffixes can also change the meaning of a word. The meaning of 'possible' is reversed with the addition of the prefix im~ (impossible). To 'overeat' means to eat too much and if food is undercooked, it is not cooked enough. Some suffixes commonly denote an occupation. Eg. The verb 'to teach' is transformed into the occupation with the suffix ~er (teacher). Both grammatical changes and changes in meaning can be applied to the same base word. Eg. The noun 'interest' can be made an adjective and given opposite meaning by adding a prefix and a suffix ~un….~ing (uninteresting). 3. Changes in pronunciation. When prefixes and suffixes are added to root words, the word stress sometimes changes. Eg. Noun & verb: 'photograph'. Adjective: 'photographic'. Opposite: 'unphotographic'. Person: 'photographer'. In English the word stress is often on the third syllable from the end. Overleaf is a list of the most common suffixes and prefixes and the grammatical and meaning changes that they apply to root words. Prefixes What Are Prefixes? Prefixes are small but meaningful letter groups added in front of a base word or root that contribute to the meaning of a word. There is some confusion between prefixes and roots.

My academic journey began at Chittagong University, Bangladesh where I earned a Master's degree in English Language and Literature in 2009. Following this, I pursued further studies in London for two years, enhancing my expertise in English. My teaching career spans various educational levels, including schools, colleges, and universities. To solidify my proficiency as an English instructor, I completed the CELTA course from Cambridge University, a globally recognized qualification for teaching English. Beyond teaching, I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Management Studies and engage in small-scale business activities. This business diploma has proven invaluable, particularly in teaching Business English courses, as it equips me with the relevant knowledge to address specific industry needs. I am passionate about continually improving my English skills. I enjoy watching English movies and TV series, exploring presentations on Ted.com, and reading English books. Occasionally, I organize English club meetings with friends, providing an opportunity for us to converse and enhance our language skills in a social setting. With extensive experience in preparing students for the IELTS examination, I have attended seminars conducted by Andrew Thomas, an IELTS Principal Examiner. These seminars focused on maximizing IELTS scores through a detailed analysis of test tasks and assessment criteria, and on bridging the gap between test preparation and language skill development. The primary joy in my profession comes from the deep satisfaction of helping others achieve their dreams. Many of my students have gained admission to foreign universities, often securing scholarships. Others have successfully passed interviews for international companies after completing Business English training, and many have achieved their target band scores in the IELTS exam. Teaching, for me, is not just a job but a profound calling. It allows me to impact lives positively by helping individuals reach their personal and professional goals. This commitment to education and continuous improvement drives my passion for teaching English and ensures that I stay updated with the latest methodologies and resources in the field.

Have look on the examples of recent Board examination Questions: There goes a proverb that time and tide wait for none. So, we must make proper use of time[Dhaka Board-2019] He who follows two hares catches neither. [Rajshahi Board-2019] A bad workman quarrels with his tools. A blunt child dreads the fire. A cat loves fish but loath to wet her feet. A drowning man catches at a straw. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A little learning is a dangerous thing. A man is known by the company he keeps. A stitch in time saves ten. A tree is known by its fruits. A woman’s weapon is her tongue After rain comes fair weather. All that glitters is not gold All that is old is not bad All’s well that ends well. As is the evil, so is the remedy As you so , so you will reap. Avarice begets sin and sin begets death. Barking dogs seldom bite. Before you marry, be sure of a house where in to tarry. Beggars must not be a choosers. Better alone an evil company. Birds of a feather flock together. Black will take no other hue. Cheap goods dear in the long run. Cut your coat according to your cloth. Danger often comes where danger is feared. Diet cures more than the doctor. Diligence is the mother of good luck. Do not speak an unpleasant truth. Fair words do not fill the pocket. Faults are thick where love is thin. Fool to others, himself a sage. Fools rush to where angels fear to tread. Give him an inch and he will take an ell. Grasp all, lose all. Half a loaf is better than no loaf. He who gets the power, misuse it. He who hunts two hares leave the one and loses the other. If the sky falls , we shall catch larks. Ill got ,ill spent. Ill news runs apace. Indolence is the mother of poverty. It hard to sit at Rome and strive with the pope. It takes two to make a quarrel. Jack of all trades master of none. Let by-gone be by-gone. Life is short, art is long. Look before you leap. Make hay while the sun shines. Many a little makes a mickle Many men many minds. Misfortune never comes alone. Money is the root of all evils. Necessity is the mother of invention. Necessity knows no laws. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. No pains, no gains. None but the brave deserves the fair. Non-violence is a supreme virtue. Once unlucky, always unlucky. One doth the scath and another hath the scorn. One raven will not pluck another’s eye. One swallow does not make a summer. Out of sight out of mind. Penny wise pound foolish. Pride goeth before itself. Procrastination is the thief of time. Respect yourself that you may be respected by others. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. Some thing is better than nothing. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Strike the iron while it is hot. Study is the main pursuit of students. The master may do as he pleases. The more they get, the more they want. The saucepan should not call the kettle black. There can be no effect without reason. To blow hot and cold in the same breath. To bring on calamity by one’s own imprudence To count one’s chickens before they are hatched To cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face. To get rid of one who has served the purpose. To rob Peter to pay Paul To sail over the sea in an egg or in a nut-shell. To set a thief to catch a thief. To strike the iron while it is hot. To the pure all things are pure. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Too much courtesy, full of craft. Too much cunning overreaches itself. United we stand divided we fall Waste not, want not. weal and woe come by turns. What God wills is for good. What is lotted cannot be blotted. What is sport to the cat is death to the rat. Where there is a will, there is a way. While there is life, there is hope. Things done by halves are never done. Habit is the second nature. Man is the architect of his own future. One is not so soon healed as hurt. Prevention is better than cure. The pen is mightier than the sword. We live in deeds not in years. Too much cunning overreached itself. Grasp all , lose all. All covet, all lost. Pride goeth before a fall. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Necessity knows no law. A little learning is a dangerous thing. To the pure all things are pure. Self preservation is the first law of nature. Some have the hop , some stick in the gap. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. A fool to others, himself a sage. When danger is gone, God is forgotten.
