We do not easily forget them but look forward to them. Besides this, there is day, which is the happiest day of our life. It marks a turning point in our life, which we can never forget.

As the day for the announcement of results drew nearer my nervousness increased giving me sleepless nights. At time I had terrible nightmares that made my hairs stand on end. I knew my parents had great expectations from me and the thought of letting them down made me paranoid. It was the May 27 at about 10 a.m. my friend Rana, rang up to inform that I had topped in the school. He had just seen the results from the internet site and had rung up to congratulate me. I was speechless, for so numb was I with apprehension, that his words did not immediately register. I was barely able to say ‘Thank you’ and gentle put the phone down. By this time my parents and sister were crowding round me to know what the matter was. I jubilantly told them about my result. I informed them that I have got A+. What followed was just indescribable. While my parents kissed and hugged me my friend came around to congratulate me. Within no time the news spread throughout the neighborhood. I had indeed become a star overnight. This was something I had just not anticipated, but it meant to me more than anything else. It was indeed a milestone towards my ambition to become a scientist. Looking back I feel elated for what happened that fateful day which was the happiest day of my life. This day, which shall always be fresh in my memory for it was the turning point in my life. AN OCCASION I REMEMBER Human life is full of incidents and occasions. Of many occasions, some are long lasting having a deep impression on mind. The occasion that I remember now is the last annual sports day of my school. Annual sports day is the most eventful and exciting day of our school. This year the Annual sports of our school were held in the month of February / March/ April amidst rejoicing and merry-making. It was a happy day for us. The class works were suspended on that day. The date of the sports was fixed in a meeting of the teachers. At first the game teacher selected the best competitors after taking hits. Then the invitation cards were issued to the guardians, local gentlemen and the officers. An arrangement committee was elected taking one student from each class. With the help of the teachers and students, the school field was enclosed and decorated. A gate was erected at the entrance of the field. Tracks were made and a mike was fitted. The arena was arranged in a suitable way and decorated very tastefully. Adequate seating arrangements were made for spectators-male and female. All the students and teachers were present in the field. Many persons including the invited guests also came to witness the sports. The sports started punctually at 10 a.m. This was followed by the hoisting of the National Flag and the recitation of the holy Quran. Immediately after this, the march past took place and the Headmaster took the salute. Thereafter, he declared the sports open and the competitors took the oath of allegiance. Then the actual sports began. There were 27 items in all. The most important events of the sports were ‘100 metre sprint’, ‘400 metre sprint’, ‘800 metre race’, ‘javelin throw’, ‘putting shot’, ‘discus throw’, ‘broad jump’, ‘high jump’, ‘pole vault’, ‘hurdle race’, ‘weight lifting’, ‘pillow fight’, ‘tug-of–war’, ‘dress as you like’ etc. ‘Dress as you like’ aroused great cheering among the spectators. They were taken up one after another according to the programme. There were three groups of competitors --- Senior, Junior and Intermediate. I belonged to the senior group. The names of the competitors were announced over the mike. The performance in all the above events was of a high order and surpassed all the previous records of the school. Immediately after the sports had been over, trophies were given to the successful competitors by the D.C. who was the chief Guest of the function. I took part in three items ---------- the high jump, the long jump and the pole vault. I got First position in the high jump and second in other two items. The D.C. delivered a fine speech in which he encouraged the students to be specially attentive to physical exercise. He also inspired us to earn more knowledge besides doing extra-curricular activities. The function ended at 4 p.m. It was a happy day indeed. I enjoyed the occasion best as I was considered one of the best competitors. The day was a refreshing day from the monotony of routined life. It was actually a day of all days in our life. THE MOST MEMORABLE EVENT OF MY LIFE Our life is full of many interesting events. Of them some are so memorable as cannot be erased from the memory. I also have some memorable events in my life. But the most memorable one is really very interesting and exciting. At that time I was in class nine/ten. I was chosen to represent my school at an interschool debate. The topic was related to the empowerment of the Bangladeshi woman. I seemed least ‘empowered’ to attempt the speech. My legs trembled at the thought of confronting an attentive audience, perhaps ready to smirk, the moment I faltered. However, I rehearsed my speech many times over before my teachers till I was absolutely sure of delivering it flawlessly. Finally, dawned the ‘doomsday’. I reached the scene of the competition. The sight of the stage, the lectern, the microphone was enough to leave me shaken. I overcame my confusion and uncertainty, reminding myself that nothing could possibly go wrong. A number of speakers preceded me to the stage but I was utterly oblivious of what they had to say, for I was too preoccupied with repeating my speech to myself for the last time, lest I should forget it on the stage. Finally, my name was announced. I wanted to turn back and bolt, but there was no escaping now at the last minute. I went to the stage, feigning confidence, I started with great aplomb, although my legs were shaking. All the instructions about maintaining an eye contact with the audience were swept away. I looked at the ceiling and gave my speech. Occasionally, I looked at the audience. Some, amongst the audience nodded intelligibly, much to my relief. Soon, I got carried away by my own arguments, that suddenly seemed very powerful and convincing, even though this was not the first time I was repeating them. Soon I realised that there was absolute silence. Perhaps, the audience was too bored to react. I carried on in the same vein, for I had no other choice except finishing my speech and making a dignified exit. To my utter surprise, as I walked down the stage there was thunderous applause, Apparently, I had made the desired impact. With bated breath I waited for the results. To my delight, I had won the first place, Finally, I had made my ‘debut’ as speaker. The event marked a scratch in my heart because it was the first time I was selected for something and I proved myself to be successful. So the event shall always remain in my memory. THE MOST MEMORABLE EVENT OF MY LIFE My first air flight in an aeroplane is, so far, the most memorable event in my life. It has occupied an abiding place at the core of my heart. For quite a long time, I had been waiting for this mornent. And at last I got the chance. My elder brother who lives in Dhaka with his family told me that lie would send me an air-ticket from Jessore to Dhaka, if I obtained GPA-5 in the SSC Exam. I took the offer quite seriously and engaged all my energy in the study. By the grace of Almighty Allah, my efforts were rewarded, for I got GPA-5 in the said examination. My brother was quite happy and he was true to his word. It was the month of April, 2007. From the Biman Office, a bus of Bangladesh Biman took us to the airport. After checking in I was given a boarding card with my seat number on it. I was waiting in the lounge with other passengers to board the aeroplane. It was a special moment and I was full of excitement. I also felt nervous at that time. Then I walked upstairs with other passengers. A well-dressed air hostess welcomed the passengers. Another hostess showed my seat. I was lucky enough to have my seat beside a window. The pilot of the plane greeted us. He told us to fasten our seat belts properly. And then the great moment came. Our plane started to take off. I was scared at the deafening sound and the jerk. Gradually everything became right. The plane finally took off and was flying in the sky. It rose higher and higher. Houses and buildings below looked like toy houses. The plane was moving very smoothly through the clouds. In the plane, we were given orange juice to drink. The hostess also gave us some chocolates, sandwich and cakes. The flight lasted for only 35 minutes, and then landed at the Zia International Airport, Dhaka. Completing all the airport procedures in about 30 minutes, I got out and found my beloved brother waiting with a smiling face. My first air flight from Jessore to Dhaka was of a very short duration. But it had a lasting impression oil my mind. And, no doubt, it was really the most memorable event in my life. THE MOST MEMORABLE INCIDENT OF YOUR LIFE Many incidents happen in the life of a man. Most of them are forgotten with the passage of time. Only a few incidents that have lasting impression upon the mind, remain fresh in memory. Any references to these incidents take us back to the situation and fill our minds with fresh emotions. I am still a student. I am just seventeen. Within this short span of life a few incidents happened that are worth mentioning. Among them I recollect one incident which changed the way of my life. I come of a middle class family living at Paschimgaon. I read up to class V in a village primary school. I took the Primary Scholarship examination and was awarded a talent pool scholarship. But I was not good at English. In primary schools of our country English is not taught seriously. This subject is excluded from the scholarship examination. Naturally, I remained weak in English. In my village home there was none to teach me. My mother also could not teach me this subject. Consequently, for no fault of my own I was weak in English. After the annual examination, I went to Faridpur Zilla School for admission. The Headmaster tasted me. He asked me some questions on Bengali and Arithmetic and was satisfied with my performance. But when he asked me questions on English, I could not give correct answers. He said, “You are weak in English.” I said, “Sir, please admit me, I shall make up my deficiency in this subject.” However, he was please to admit me in Class VI. My mother asked me to stay in the boarding house of the school. Accordingly, I stayed in the school hostel and devoted myself to studies. But as before I got no interest in English. Our English teacher, Mr. Sirajul Haque, was very strict. He warned the students if they did not learn their lessons. He made them kneel down and stand up on the bench. For some days I could somehow avoid his attention. But one day he stared me in the face. He could understand that I did not learn my lessons. He asked me some questions relating to the story ‘Unit is Strength’, told by Sabina’s grandfather. I could not answer. Our teacher got angry at my conduct. He ordered me to go to his table. I obeyed. But I felt nervous when he caught me by the ear. He slapped me twice or thrice and said that he would turn me out of the class if I failed to learn my lessons from the next day. I felt very much insulted. I said to myself, “Why should I not be good at English as other boys?” I determined to learn my daily English lessons regularly. Since then I did not fail in any class to answer the questions asked by the teachers. My determination became a boon for me. I improved in English by slow degrees. By the end of the year, I improved a lot and my performance in the class was quite encouraging in the annual examination. I secured 80% marks in English. This was the highest mark not only in our class but also in the whole of our school. My performance surprised my teachers. They all encourage and advise me to be serious in studies. I listened to them and acted upon their advice. So I was crowned with brilliant success. I stood first in the SSC examination of 1981 and added a new laurel to the glory of my ‘Alma- mater’. So the event of pulling me by the ear by our English teacher acted as a turning point in my life and so I treat this incident as the most memorable incident of my life.

On a morning not too long ago, my intimate friend Rubel summoned me to join him on a boat excursion to his village, and I assented with eagerness. Accompanied by Shimul, Bahauddin, and Jimi, we embarked on our journey, gliding along the tranquil stream with remarkable swiftness, thanks to the favorable wind and current. As we left behind the hustle and bustle of the town, the verdant banks, adorned with clusters of trees, captivated our gaze. The distant paddy fields and jute fields, adorned in their green garb, unfolded before our eyes. The thatched cottages of the villagers, interspersed with trees, offered an enchanting view.

So, it is an easy task to arrange a boat journey. Moreover, it is always interesting and enjoyable experience.

Accordingly, we started on the appointed day for the destination which is ten miles away from our village and situated on the bank of the river, Meghna. We hired a large boat with a boatman. The boatman was middle-aged person. The boat was well built with a bamboo-made roof and a sail on it. There were two oars on either side of the stern. We had with us some foodstuff, tea, biscuits and some fruits for our breakfast. We did have rice, raw meat, dal, spices etc for our meal. One of my friends had a camera and another brought a transistor set. After making all necessary preparations, we started the journey early in the morning.

The river was calm. The boat was moving on slowly and smoothly. The small waves were beating gently against it. At the beginning of our journey, while we left the town behind, the green banks with trees and paddy fields charmed our eyes. We were, in fact, very delighted to see the beautiful scenery on either side of the river. We had our breakfast with us. We brought it out and ate it. We offered some to the boatmen. He had it by turn so as not to stop the boat. We feasted our eyes on the lovely sights on the bank of the river. The near-by and far-off villages, trees, green fields and dwelling houses looked so charming that we could not help taking some snap-shots with the camera. As we passed by, we were moved to see the people bathing and swimming in the river. At some of the ghats we saw the village women washing utensils or clothes, and the children were playing about shouting to one another. Few women came with their earthen jars to fetch water. We found cattle grazing on the meadows by the riverside. Many boats both large and small loaded with goods, were sailing up and down. After four hours rowing, we reached our destination. Then we got down from the boat and walked for sometime. We found out a beautiful spot and there we halted. After having a little tiffin, we began cooking our meal. While the food was being cooked, we listened to the music played in the cassette player. Then we had our lunch. The food was rightly cooked. It was delicious. After that we had a gossip amongst ourselves. All this time, we were accompanied by the steersman. Then we again resumed the journey. In the afternoon, my heart was filled with joy to see the setting sun reflected on the river. I recited a few poems. When I stopped, the boatman started humming a tune. We asked him to sing a song and he did so. His voice was sweet. Then one of our friends sang eight songs at a stretch. We enjoyed them all. We spent a happy time. After a lapse of several hours we again got into the boat and started our return journey. Our return journey was equally pleasant. On our return journey, we enjoyed a charming sight of sunset. In the landscape beside, it was glorious. The horizon was yellow-red, and it seemed that the heavens above were reflected in the water below. Gradually the earth was getting darker and darker. Soon the moon appeared in the eastern sky with all her glory. Under the influence of her silvery rays, everything around us looked simply charming. At last we came back when it was about 8 p. m. When we reached home, we were happy but we were sorry because such an interesting journey came to an end. We enjoyed the journey to our entire satisfaction. A journey by boat in a fair weather is really pleasant and refreshing. It provides us a lot of thrill and pleasure that cannot be described but to be felt only. It purifies our mind, offers an invaluable joy in our melancholy mind. The journey which I undertook will never efface from memory. Really, this journey by boat will supply us serene delight for all time to come. A Journey By Boat Bangladesh is a riverine country. These rivers give us ample opportunity for a journey by boat. In some respects, journey by boat is more pleasant than a train journey. Whenever I get a chance, I avail of it and enjoy a journey by boat. During the last autumn vacation, I went by boat to the village home of a friend. My friend's house is situated on the bank of the river Karnafully named Charandwip. We were five in number. We took a guitar and a Yashica Camera. We took some light food too. We hired a boat with one manjhee and two oarsmen. Taking breakfast, we started 8 a.m. It was a fine morning. A gentle breeze was blowing. The river was calm. There were ripples in the river. When we were in middle of the river, we saw many beautiful sights on both sides of the river. We took the snaps of corn fields. We saw many boats and steamers plying to and fro on the river. We saw many ships Sometimes we met trawlers. There were fishermen's boats with nets spread in water. The river was full to the brim. The murmuring sound of the river charmed us. We saw some bathing ghats. Men and women were bathing and children were swimming and splashing in the water. In the mean time, one of my friends played on his guitar. Birds of various kinds were flying then. All these sights created a profound impression on our minds. The manjhee began to sing a 'Bhatiali song.' The sun was setting. It was evening. But the river became loveliest in the evening when the waves danced and sparkled under the crimson rays of setting sun. We recalled the poetic line of keats- "The day so soon has glided by,Even like the passage of an angel's tear" At 7 p.m. we reached the ghat. My friend came to the ghat to receive us. At about 8 o'clock we reached his house. Indoed, the journey by boat is pleasant and thrilling. Such journey ritfreshes our mind and provides us joy and pleasure. It removes our monotony and widens our knowledge. However, our journey by boot came to a happy end. It will be always memorable to me. A JOURNEY BY BOAT A BOAT JOURNEY YOU HAVE ENJOYED Traveling by boat is an everyday concern in Bangladesh . Here waterways are the highways of traffic and communications . One morning Rubel , an intimate friend of mine , knocked at my door and wanted me to accompany him on a boat trip to his village . I readily agreed . Soon we five friends - Shimul , Rubel , Bahauddin, Jimi and I - were on the quiet stream of the river . As both the wind and the stream were favorable , our boat sped swiftly . Making its way along the surface of water with great ease . We left behind the din and bustle of the town and heaved a sigh of relief . The green banks with clusters of trees charmed our eyes . The far off paddy fields as well as jute fields unfolded their green bosoms . The thatched cottages of the villagers with clusters of trees beside them offered a very pleasant sight . An old man was basking here in the sun , village boys were playing there and shy village women were drawing water at another place . Birds of various kinds were flying . The beautiful rural atmosphere cast a spell upon our minds and we were struck dumb. In an hour and a half the boat reached a market . We halted there and got down . We bought rice , eggs , a large Hilsa and some sweetmeat of different kinds . We had a desire to enjoy the boat journey thoroughly . With this end in view , we started making arrangements for cooking our meals . The boat men supplied us with ovens and we collected fuel from the neighborhood . The boatmen offered to cook the food for us but we did not take any help from them . We began cooking the food ourselves . We boiled our rice , prepared omelet’s and also cooked fish curry . The healthy river breeze and the movement in the market place and the village nearby head stimulated our appetite . So we ate our food with great relish . At about two o’clock in the afternoon we launched our boat again . The boatmen tried hard to reach the destination before sundown but to no purpose . The beauty of the golden sunset on the calm water of the river made pleasant impression on our young minds . The shades of evening now began to spread over the earth . The stars made their appearance in the sky slowly one after another . The dim light of the lamp which the villagers had lighted came to our sight through groves of trees . A stray jackal sent out a cry and he was immediately joined by his fellows who set up chorus announcing the approach of the night . The boat moved on slowly until it reached our destination . It touched at the ghat of Rubel’s house . By then it was dark all around . We walked to Rubel’s house which was at a stone’s throw from the riverside.

My dear Abida, Your last letter came to my hand timely. I came to know many things about your studies and daily life. I appreciate your concern regarding your ensuing examination. I should like to advise you especially in this matter. It might be helpful for your exam. You know that every work needs a strategy to be followed. It has been said that about 50 percent of your chances of success relate to your examination skill rather than to your subject knowledge. You need to check and double-check your exam dates and times. You are to follow the restrictions about the things you can carry to the examination hall. In the examination hall you have to budget your time so that no answer can be missed. In this regard you are to avoid elaborating answers. Before attempting to answer it is safe to have a good idea all over the question. Sometimes you may find difficult questions. Don’t worry. Take it as they come. Give time to plan your answer for each question. Again, it is useful half way through writing the answer, to check back that you are doing what you should. Make your answer legible. This is the way through which you can perform well in the examination. I think you will follow my advice. No more today. Hope this will find you in a sound health and joyful time. Write to me soon. With love and best wishes. Yours affectionately, Tahseen A Letter to My Younger Sister Advising Her About Her Upcoming Examination Dear Abida, How are you doing these days? I hope everything is going well at home. I heard from Ma that your exams are approaching fast, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share some tips to help you prepare confidently. I understand the pressure can feel overwhelming. But with the right approach, you can tackle them without any fear. First, make sure you create a proper routine. Divide your time wisely among all subjects, giving extra attention to the ones you find challenging. Don’t forget to stick to the syllabus and class notes since questions are often based on those. One important thing is practicing past papers from your board. It will help you understand the question patterns and manage your time during the exam. Write your answers neatly and to the point, as that makes a big difference in securing marks. Also, don’t sacrifice your health while preparing. Eat regular meals with lots of fruits and vegetables, and get at least 7 hours of sleep every night. Short breaks between study sessions can work wonders to keep your mind fresh. Lastly, don’t overthink or stress. Trust yourself and your preparation. You are hardworking and capable, so there’s no reason to doubt your abilities. Remember, exams are just a part of life, not the whole of it. I’m proud of you and confident that you’ll make us all happy with your results. Keep calm and study smart. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with. Take care and best of luck for your exams! With love and blessings, Tahseena

The stationmaster, in particular, serves as the primary authority in the station, and works alongside other personnel to ensure that operations run smoothly. To obtain train tickets, passengers can approach the ticket counter, which is usually accessible half an hour before the train arrives. Given the crowded and boisterous atmosphere that is characteristic of most railway stations, both passengers and coolies alike are often in a hurry, pushing and shoving their way through the throngs of people to board their respective trains. However, waiting rooms may be available for passengers seeking respite from the bustle of the station. Once the train arrives, passengers form a queue, hoping to board as soon as possible. Following the guard's whistle and green flag signal, the train sets off, leaving behind a momentarily deserted station. Hawkers selling various items such as betel leaf, cigarettes, newspapers, and other trinkets may be spotted along with bookstalls, fruit vendors, and tea stalls.

Paragraph Writing A JOURNEY BY PLANE I had a chance to make a journey by plane from Chittagong to Dhaka. It was my first flight. At the invitation of my elder brother, I got the opportunity. I arrived at the airport about an hour before the flight and checked in and waited in the lounge. I was given a boarding card on which the number of my seat was written. There were a large number of people at the airport. It was not long before the departure of the flight was announced and we were asked to board the plane. I got on board and found my seat. When all the passengers were in, the door was closed. As the plane was ready to take off, we were asked to fasten our seat belts. We were also given instructions about what to do in case of an emergency. Then the plane took off smoothly. I was excited. I tried to control myself as I could. Shortly after taking off, the captain’s voice was heard. He welcomed us and wished us a happy journey. A few minutes later we were given newspapers. We were also served soft drink. I looked through the window and saw clouds flying past the plane. Following the example of others, I unfastened my seat belt. I felt a thrill of joy when I noticed below the rivers appeared to be thin lines drawn on a sheet of paper. Suddenly it was announced that we were very close to Dhaka Air Port and we would be landing in a few minutes. We were again asked to fasten our seat belts. The plane began to lose height and soon landed softly. Thus my journey by plane came to an end and I was again on mother earth.

Composition / Essay Writing A JOURNEY BY AIR I HAVE ENJOYED   The journey by air is altogether a different experience. It is unlike other modes of journey. It is very expensive for most of us to avail. This rare opportunity, however, came to me when I was merely 10 years old. One of my elder brothers used to work at Cox’s Bazar Airport. He invited us to visit him. My parents decided to take only me with them. Hearing about their decision my heart danced with joy.   We took a taxi up to Patenga Airport. We entered a nice building where my father showed our tickets and collected the boarding cards. Then we came out of the building on the other side. There on a big cemented ground, called the landing pad, was waiting my dream-aircraft, a small Focker Friendship. My mother was very afraid to get into the plane. But I was not. I soon found my seat beside a window. The plane soon started moving forward, as its engine whined. It sped up very fast on the runway until it took off the ground with a wild hitch. Something in my stomach gave me a creeping feeling, I felt light and airborne. I looked at my mother’s face which turned ashen with fear. Her lips were moving quickly as she was reciting a verse from the Holy Quran. I looked out the window and saw the rippling waves of the Bay of Bengal. The steamers and people looked unbelievably small as if they were toys for children. Soon the stewardess came and served us with juice and snacks. After a 20-minute journey the plane started to slow down and lower itself down and down until it touched the runway. I again felt the same strange sensation in my stomach. As we reached the door to get down we found our brother waiting to receive us.   The journey by air was really exciting, because I enjoyed the travel to with my whole heart.     MY FIRST JOURNEY BY AIR   Journey by air has always been my dream as it is an enjoyable and pleasant journey. From my very childhood. I have cherished a dream of how one feels in the air. As we know that every journey is a source of pleasure and enjoyment, this journey of mine by aeroplane is also very much exciting to me. I have some relatives who have been living in London for years. They requested my parents so many times to visit them. But every time, my father refused their invitation. But one day the opportunity came to us. My mother won a lottery offered by Bash undh ara City Shopping Mall which gave us three air tickets including return tickets from Dhaka to London. My parents made the best use of this opportunity last year.   it was the month of December last year. We had travelled by the British Airways. Our flight was at 8. am. We reached the airport two hours before the flight. After all formal checking, we started for the acroplane. At every step, I felt the rush of blood when to get on board the aeroplane.   After fifteen minutes the passengers got on board the plane. It started to run on the runway. It was a thrilling experience. The plane ran very fast and within a minute, it started to fly in the sky. As the plane was going upward very fast, everything on the ground was becoming smaller and smaller. When the plane was in stable position in the sky, I saw the clouds floating in the sky very close to our plane. Then the hostesses of the plane entertained us with coffee and other snacks. There were television monitors behind every seat. I enjoyed two English action movies. After ten long hours of journey, we reached the Heathrow Airport in London. There we found some of our relatives waiting for us.   In my boyhood, I wondered at the sight of how birds as well as aeroplanes fly in the sky. At last this wonder came true to me. That was an excellent journey the experience of which will remain ever fresh in my memory.

Composition / Essay Writing A JOURNEY BY LAUNCH A few days ago I had an occasion to make a journey by steam launch. I was returning to Dhaka after spending the Id-ul-Fitr holidays with my parents at home. I got on board a steam launch at our village ghat to reach Narsingdi. The launch was jampacked and was carrying passengers and goods far beyond its capacity. I somehow managed to squeeze out a seat on this deck. Within a few minutes the launch steamed off. Soon my village ghat went out of sight. The launch sped on along a small river. With the rattling of the engine, I could feel a sense of motion creeping along the limbs of my body. The steam vessel seemed to advance with rhythmic jerks. As I sat on the deck of the fast moving launch, my eyes caught glimpses of the villages on both sides of the river. At times it appeared that the launch was stationary while the houses and trees on both the banks were moving in opposite direction. At about 4 p.m. the launch reached the Meghna River. At the junction, the river appeared to me so wide that it inspired awe in my mind. Owing to strong current of the Meghna our steam vessel went spattering for a time with sudden jerks. So I felt a bit uneasy. However, it soon came to itself and there was now a vast expanse of water before us. The banks of the river looked green with paddy fields and strings of boats big and small, were seen playing up and down the river. Fishermen were seen here and there busy about catching fish. The launch sped on and on and after an hour’s journey it crossed the Meghna and proceeded through a small river. We could now enjoy the rural scenery from close quarters. The villages were standing along the bank. Women were seen here and there coming to the river ghats and taking water. Men were cutting ears of paddy and jute plants. Many of them were singing and some were smoking tobacco standing in the water. The varied pictures of the rural life filled my heart with great joy. At about sunset the big tin sheds of the jute offices at Narsingdi came to my view and looked fine from the steam launch. It was now evening as the sun was going down. My heart was filled with joy to see the setting sun reflected on the river. The scenes on the river and the horizon in the distance were charming. The launch touched at the Narsingdi Launch Terminal. The journey was not over. I got down at the terminal and quickly left for the Narsingdi Railway Station to catch train. Though the journey was made amidst rush and bustle, it has left some pleasant memories with me.

As such, I was eagerly looking forward to the start of my summer vacation and had decided to spend it with my aunt in the picturesque city of Chittagong. As the day of my train journey drew near, my anticipation reached new heights. Finally, the day arrived when I had to depart from Chittagong. Carrying luggage while traveling is a tedious experience for me, particularly if the train is crowded. Consequently, I made a conscious effort to make the journey as light as possible.

The train continued on its journey, and the passengers were pleasantly relieved by the cool breeze from the open spaces. Upon leaving Tongi, the lush greenery of Bangladesh revealed itself to us. The train traversed through verdant paddy fields with sugarcane and jute plants swaying gently in the breeze. While my co-passengers either dozed off or were engrossed in their books and newspapers, I was captivated by the enchanting beauty of nature on either side of the train. As the train was a mail train, it only stopped at crucial stations, and I observed the passengers getting on and off at each stop. The excitement and bustle of the passengers, the cacophony of the hawkers, and the swift movement of the railway staff were all fascinating sights. The grandeur of the sunset and the melancholy of the departing day were best observed from a train. The slow onset of darkness, the majestic setting of the sun, the flight of birds seeking shelter for the night, and the return of cattle to their sheds were all mesmerizing sights. I was so engrossed in them that I hardly noticed when the lights in the compartment were switched on. As darkness descended, the face of the earth disappeared, and only a few darker patches were visible, which were homesteads or bushes and groves. It was around nine o'clock when the train arrived at Chittagong railway station. The train gradually slowed down and eventually came to a stop by the platform. One of my cousins was present at the station to receive me, and the journey had been truly delightful for me. A JOURNEY BY TRAIN A Journey is an exciting experience and pleasure to a man if he can afford that journey. In modern times man remains preoccupied with his daily activities and worldly affairs. A journey becomes all the more attractive and pleasant for a student as it provides him a relaxation with an escape from the monotonous daily routine. So being a student, my heart leaps up at the prospect of a journey by train. A journey by train is a very pleasant affair and troublesome also. It was the sultry month of June. Our First Terminal Examination was over. The school was closed for the summer vacation. So, I got ready to start for Chittagong, my native place. My heart danced with joy to think about my native place and the journey by train. The day was fixed. With my light luggage, I reached the station about half an hour before the train’s departure. It was 1.30 p.m. The whole station was humming with bustling activity. Passengers of different destinations were coming to the station in available conveyances. Porters were running to and fro after the passengers with and for their luggage. Vendors were crying out loudly to sell their goods. I went towards the booking office to purchase my ticket from the train. I had to wait in the long queue for sometime and I collected my ticket. As soon as the train was put on the platform, there began a tremendous rush for seats in compartments. My seat was beside a window and it was quite comfortable in the second-class compartment. At the scheduled time the whistle blew and the train with a long whistle began to move and I felt relieved. After moving slowly for sometime, the train gradually gathered speed. It was the time of early summer. So a gentle breeze through the open windows cooled the partially filled compartment. The train was running on. I was carrying with me some novels, tit-bits, magazines and newspapers. For sometime I read. While my mind felt bored I gazed outside and enjoyed the proverbial greenery of our country. Most of the passengers in my compartments had either gone to sleep or were busy with books or magazines. There were some boys playing cards. Some were having peanuts or light snacks. But I enjoyed the nature’s screen display of greenery. All came to my view for a moment and then disappeared. Passing through varied and interesting scenery, we reached Comilla at 4 p.m. Then I took tiffin form the canteen inside the train. Once a ticket inspector came and checked the tickets of the passengers. As the train moved on, I felt little drowsy and had a short nap. Again I woke up and then the charming scenery of Nature kept me awake. While the journey was going on, the train was running through fields. Peeping through the window lent me a charming sight. As the train was running at a great speed, the distant trees, bushes and houses, seemed to run to the opposite direction. I was delighted to see farmers at work in the fields with bullocks and ploughs. Bullock carts laden with goods, were moving on heavily along dusty roads. I enjoyed the boats sailing on the rivers. I even had the fortune of enjoying a grand sight of the setting sun very majestically. After Comilla, a distinct change was noticed in the landscape. The fields were undulating and the soil was reddish. After sometime, all nature --- the sky, the fields and the green woods was bathed in the silvery moonlight. It was a large disc of exquisite beauty. What a fun to enjoy all these tings! When the train was near Chittagong station, the passengers were preparing to get down. The train gradually lost speed, slowed down and finally crawled and halted by the platform. The platform was lit up with lights. I was slightly weary of my journey of nearly six hours. Then I alighted from the train and went out of the station. Thus my train journey came to an end. I felt extremely happy, relaxed and little change for such a wonderful journey by train. The scene of the memorable journey peeps into my mind in the moment of solicitudes when I become tired of the mechanical urban life. A journey in a train conveys physical thrill and excitement. Space and time, the external barriers of Nature are annihilated and destroyed while the speed, the swing and the rhythm of motion fill one with exhilaration.

They were tossing there heads in the breeze . The other passengers in my compartment had either gone to sleep or applied themselves to books or newspaper . But the attraction of nature’s beauty on both sides was so great for me that I could not turn my eyes from it . Then the train stopped only at important stations as it was a mail train . The scenes at all the stops were the same and I had a look at the passengers boarding the train or getting down . The excitement and the hurry of the passengers , the noise of the hawkers and the movement of the railway staff were an interesting sight . The majesty of the setting sun and the pathos of the departing day can best be seen from a train . The slow approach of darkness , the gradual and majestic setting of the sun , the flying flock of birds in search of nightly shelters and the return of cattle to the sheds are all charming sights . I was so absorbed in them that I did not notice when the light in the compartments were switched on . Darkness came down and hid the face of the earth . Nothing was visible except some darker patches at intervals . They were the homesteads or bushes and groves . It was about 9 o’clock when the train reached Chittagong railway station . The train slowed down and finally stopped by the platform . One of my cousins was present at the station to receive me . The journey was really pleasant to me . A Journey by Train My annual examination was over. I had recess for some days. During this time of the year the weather is good enough to make a journey. Incidentally, I with some of my friends took a sudden decision to go to my sister’s house in Chittagong y train. On the appointed day. I along with my three friends arrived at Kamalapur railway station before sunrise. We bought our tickets and got into the train just at 7 a.m. When the guard blew the whistle and waves his green flag, the train started moving. After a few minutes it began running at a full speed. I, keeping myself aloof, sat beside a window with a view to looking outside through the window. The sun was rising with all its splendid beauty. Soon leaving urban areas, the train was running through the green fields of the rural areas. I gazed and gazed at the houses, trees and meadows with a cheerful mind. Everything seemed to be running swiftly in the opposite direction. They came to my vision and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye. The beauty of the scenery on either side of the train charmed my eyes. I also enjoyed the mild jerking of the train and rhythmic sounds of the wheels. Now and then it crossed bridge over a river or a canal with a chattering noise. As it was an express train, it stopped only at a few big stations. At about noon we arrive within the areas of Chittagong district, I felt great joy seeing the hills on either side of the line, as I had never seen a hill before. After eight hour journey, the train reached Chittagong railway station at about 3 p.m. We got down from the train and went to my sister’s house by a taxi. Our return journey was equally a pleasant one. This pleasant and enjoyable lasted for a few hours. But the journey left permanent impression in my mind. I will never forget the romance, thrill and charm of my first train journey and my first visit to Chittagong. The scene of the memorable journey peeps into my mind when I become tired of the mechanical urban life. A Journey by Train I have Recently Enjoyed Journey is always fascinating. It charms our minds and makes us happy. Journey is a break in our monotonous everyday life. After a journey, we feel relaxed and fresh. Peace fills our heart after we have made a really wonderful journey. I made a journey by train with my friends last year. I received a letter from my uncle at Chittagong to attend the marriage ceremony of his daughter. I took some of my friends with me. Early in the morning I reached Kamlapur Railway station where I found my other friends. The train came. We got into the train and found our seats beside the window. The guard blew his whistle and waved his green flag, the engine slowly began to move and we glided out of the station. Everything that we were passing was pretty and so we amused ourselves by looking through the windows. As the train winded away eastwards, we could see a number of hills and mountains. We passed by the green fields, beautiful watery areas and wonderful hillocks. Everything seemed very bright and pleasant to us. From the train, we could see the clear, green waters and women and small boys and girls swimming happy and taking bath in the ponds and rivers. At last at 4 p.m. we reached Chittagong. The journey seemed to me like a dream. However, when we reached Chittagong, we found my uncle waiting for us. He welcomed us and took to his residence. Thus our wonderful journey ended very beautifully. A JOURNEY THAT I HAVE RECENTLY MADE Journey is always fascinating. It charms our mind and makes us happy.

Model Answer-3 Composition / Essay Writing FISHES AND FISHERMEN OF BANGLADESH   Introduction: Fish forms a principal item of our food next only to rice. So it is in great demand. It is why the gathering of the buyers is the thickest in the fish-markets. Where found: Fishes are found in tanks, rivers, marshes, lakes and seas. The rivers, marshes and canals of Bangladesh abound in fish. It breeds and grows naturally in these places. Many people rear fish in tanks for personal consumption and for sale. Kinds and varieties of fishes: There are innumerable kinds of fish in Bangladesh. Of them the hilsa, rohit, katla, mrigel, kalbose, kai, magur, shingi, chital, boal, vetki, tangra, padda and punti are the most common. Some of these live in rivers, some in tanks or ponds, some in swamps and some, again, in seas. The hilsa is found in rivers only. Fishes are of many sizes and colours; some are beautiful to look at, while others are ugly. They have two round eyes without lids and four pair of gills, and five pair of fins. They move about in water, sometimes come up to the surface and breathe in with their gills. They feed upon grass, weeds and insects, but the larger kinds fish feed upon the smaller ones. Use and importance of fish: Fish makes delicious curry. Various delicious preparations are made from fish. Fish contains a good amount of phosphorus. Fish-oil can be put to many uses. Fresh fish and dry fish are exported from Bangladesh to foreign countries in huge quantities. They bring in a good amount of money. Shrimps are now being exported to a number of European and American countries from our country and we are earning a good amount of foreign exchange thereby.   Ways of catching fish: Nets of different kinds are made for catching different kinds of fish. Angling is a popular way of catching fish. Even the rich people have the hobby of catching fish by angling. Fishermen and their lot: The people who earn their livelihood by catching fish are the fishermen. They are a class by themselves. They are also called Jeleys in Bengali because they catch fish by using the jal or the net. They hard-working and painstaking people. They catch fish with nets in the big rivers like the Padma and the Meghna. As fishermen are not necessarily traders in fish, the middlemen who are known as nikaris take advantage of buying fish at a cheap rate from them. The middlemen then take fish to the market and sell it at an exorbitant price to the actual buyers. Thus they make a good profit at the cost of the fishermen. As a result, the sad plight of the fishermen has become all the more miserable. Conclusion: Nevertheless, fishing and fish-trade have got immense possibilities. Extensive bils and haors of Sylhet, Mymensingh, Bogra and of other districts are potential sources of fish supply. Our government, through the Department of Fisheries, has taken definite steps for increasing the production of fish and developing the fish trade. Deep sea fishing has also been started in the Bay of Bengal. Fish is a great wealth of our country.

A FILM / MOVIE I HAVE RECENTLY ENJOYED Of all the emotions the matter relating to the heart is perhaps the most potent. Unarguably this is also the most complex of all feelings. Love may be a four letter word but reverberations of this can transcend age and time. Since the chronicling of time began, love has featured prominently in historical records. Litterateurs, historians, poets have eulogised it, sang hymns about it and damned its inexplicable clutch. This is the feeling that launched a thousand ships against Troy, this is the feeling that humbled a powerful man like Caesar and this is again the emotion that compelled Mughal emperor Shahjahan to create the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the medieval ages. Treated by the pen of the writer this definition - defying emotion has given us Romeo and Juliet, Shiri and Farhad. Most of us must be familiar with the famous novel by Sarat Chandra Chattapadhay based on which the film ‘Devdas’ has been made. I have recently had the scope of enjoying the film. Of course, the film does not conform exactly to the novel. But that again is only natural as film and literature are two different mediums and the director has certain independence. In this film, set somewhere in the middle of the previous century, Devdas is the son of an affluent ‘zamindar’. Wealth and aristocracy dominates his existence. He falls in love with Parbati or Paru, but at that stage it is merely a sort of calf love, on his side and on Paru’s, it is her whole existence. However, the reverie is broken when his elders, sent Devdas to London for education. When Devdas returned, Paru’s mother (Kiron Kher) proposed Devdas and Paru’s marriage. But it was met with condescension. But by that time Devdas realised he was deeply in love with Paru. Heart-broken Paru entered into a chaste marriage with a wealthy, much older man, Zamindar Bhuvan (Vijayendra Ghatge), while a shattered Devdas took refuge in anguish, alcohol and Chandramukhi, introduced to him by a profligate friend Chunilal, a stunning courtesan. Devdas, as shown in the film and also in the novel, was intensely loved by two women, who were never meant to be his. One, whom he could never love and the other, whom he could never stop loving. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director is a master craftsman and has a way with telling a story through celluloid. Also the magnificent set, the superb locale and the grandiose look all goes to make the film a great one to watch. Films, great ones at that, are defined by certain scenes. There are fiery confrontations and, in particular, the scene where Parbati confronts Chandramukhi is enthralling. However, one can find no fault with the choice of Ashwariya Roy. She really steals the limelight. The former beauty pageant winner is easily the best in the film, when it comes to acting. Her doe eyes and long hair are exploited to full effect, but she also seems the most committed to the story and creates the most believable character. Ismail Darbar’s music goes well with the mood of the film. Nusrat Badr’s lyrics are lyrical gems. The film is colourful, to say the least, with some stunning photography and beautifully choreographed song and dance pieces. “Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought”- to poet Shelly, the “sweetest” feeling is synonymous of the “saddest” feeling. The power of intense grief is always stronger than that of deep joy. The same is the case with fiction as well as real life. Yes, towards many, love is sweet, being in love is sweeter and the pain derived from it is the sweetest feeling. Any extremely pathetic or tragic tale touches many hearts with extraordinary feelings that are cathartic and unique in every sense. That is why Sarat Chandra’s Devdas, even today, has not lost its appeal to the people of this millennium. And in the film I have found that the passionate and tragic love stories remain ever new. The film has indeed, profoundly impressed upon my mind. Certainly, love is an indispensable part of human life, a driving force with magical effect, and, above all, the promise to live with love in order to overcome all hindrances for happiness and peace. Many lovers made history on Earth, became immortal for their epoch making passion or for their heavenly wealth of soul-love. Romantic love begins with a mingled feeling of thrill and pain. So, loving hearts can feel all love’s beauth, can introduce us to the heavenly pleasure of romantic agony. That state of mind is the most desired element which we find in Devdas. Psychologically, human beings tend, and love, to experience incisive heartache, pain, and shock because there is lasting pleasure. So, like other romantic tragedies, the story of the Bangla classic novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattapadhay as well as the film has always won the admiration of the viewers. It is a story about a doomed lover and his two women. Devdas appears as a tragic hero who meets his death due to his physical ailment caused by his unrequited love. Sarat Chandra’s Devdas has been filmed several times in this region including the latest Bangla as well as Hindi version both released very recently. In fact, not only in Bangla and Hindi, it has also been filmed in Urdu and Telegu. K.L.Saigal, Prometheus movie versions of Devdas. It was first filmed in 1929. Later K. L. Saigal filmed the classic, Devdas in 1935 and it was directed by P C Barua. Later Barua himself played the role of Devdas in the Bangla version. And, in 1955 another Hindi version of Devdas was released with Dilip Kumar in the role of Devdas a role that won him the Filmfare Award for best acting. The recent Hindi Devdas presentation is a glamorous and exquisite version. Sarat Chandra writing in novel, Devdas, first in 1901 could not come up with any conclusion. The book was finally published .Noted a critic, “Technically, the film is a superior product. The shot execution, the sound quality and the cinematography bowl; your mind as you embark on a journey that promises the world as far as entertainment is concerned.” However, personally speaking, the scenes between Devdas and Paru did not feel really magical compared with the early Devdas films. The scenes involving Pramathesh Barua and Jamuna Sinha and Dilip Kumar and Shuchitra Sen were pure magic on screen. But then again the audience seems to have accepted the present duo as perfect and in ultimate analysis it is the verdict of the cinegoers that counts. As far as Indian films are concerned, the audience flock because they love the songs and the soundtrack. The storyline is not anything really unusual. We have seen numerous films, in the sub-continent, dealing with the story of two childhood lovers facing parental opposition, going separate ways, yet loving each other. So the novelty factor is missing. YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE If I am asked to name my favourite movie, without hesitation, I shall vote for ‘Pather Panchali’. This movie was produced by Government of West Bengal in 1956. From the very first show it created a stir among the movie lovers. It ushered in a new trend in the movie making based on neo-realism. This movie is based on a novel of Bibhuti Bhusan Bandopadhya, the literary genius and it was directed by the late Satyajit Roy. Only after seeing the movie I could understand why it is acclaimed universally as one of the greatest masterpieces in the movie history. ‘Pather Panchali’ means something like ‘Saga of life’. It is not a novel in the conventional sense. It is a narration of the day-to-day life of a poor family living in a small village in Bengal. The story evolves round a poor Brahmin family headed by Harihar, his octogenarian sister Indira Thakrun, wife Sarvajaya and their children Durga and Apu. While the poor brahmin fights hard for survival, the two children Apu and Durga, full of life, live in their own world of sublime innocence and roam about merging completely with Nature. The story is simple and from this simple story Satyajit Roy created a superb movie. One of the greatest qualities of the director is that he presented the movie in such a way that one never feels that one was seeing a movie and witnessing a world of make----belief. Everything looked so natural. He did not neglect any detail. And the minutest details like rain drops falling on a bald head, the butterflies swinging about, Apu and Durga looking in a amazement at the train for the first time in their life made this movie a wonderful one. As for acting----it did never appear to me that they were acting in a movie; they looked natural----they just fitted in their respective roles. The scenario, photographs, location shooting----everything looked classic and flawless. I can never forget the scenes which ultimately signalled the deaths of Durga and Indira Thakrun. I think they are the best shots ever taken on celluloid. Last but not the least, the music composed by Ravi Shankar was superb. The background music of the vendor hawking by the side of a pond closely followed by a stray dog and the children was simply charming. The music gave a strange poignancy to the movie. The movie reflects the life of the millions of rural population of Bengal. It has a universal appeal and that is why the movie has won the hearts of its viewers and critics in different international movie festivals. Even in the U.S.A. some critics expressed that it was an experience of a lifetime to see such a movie. No wonder, it has won laurels all over the word. To me it is not a movie, it is a classic poem on celluloid.

Life of a Farmer Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country. So 85% of her population are farmers. But most of the farmers of our country have no landed property. They till the land of other landlords. A farmer gets up early in the morning. He takes a simple breakfast with panthabhat and goes to the field with wooden plough and a pair of bullocks. He ploughs the land, sows the seeds and weeds out. He comes back home at noon, takes bath and meal. Then he takes rest for a while and again goes to the field and works till it is dusk. During the rainy season, he spends the whole day in the field. He works from dawn to dusk. His income is very scanty. The big share ()f his labour goes to the landlords. He has both pleasure and pain in his life. He gets pleasure when he can provide his children with food and cloths. He feels pain when he fails to do so. That is to say, ho lives from hand to mouth. Though our farmers are doing their boss to feed the nation, yet they remain in debts. Therefore, we should try heart and soul to improve their lot / condition. Paragraph Writing The Life of a Farmer A farmer is a person who farms land, plants seeds, puts manures and pesticides upon them, weeds out the grasses, waters them and grows crops in this way. Though he is a very important person in our society, he leads a very miserable life. Generally, he lives in a village house which is made of corrugated, iron sheets or straws. An ideal farmer lives a very simple life and earns his livelihood the sweat of his brow. Getting up very early in the morning, he takes a little breakfast and goes to his field with simple hand-made tools and a pair of bullocks. Sometimes he remains so busy that he cannot make time to go home for the noonday meal. He has both pleasures and pains in his life. He gets pleasures when he has a good harvest. But he gets pains when his crops are destroyed by droughts, floods or cyclones. Though a farmer works hard, he cannot meet the basic needs of his family. He lives from hand to mouth. He also suffers from many diseases. However, a farmer can improve his condition by availing of the easy loans and by planned use of it. He should take advantage of scientific mechanized tools and the latest method of cultivation. In our society, a farmer is meant to belong to the lower class but in reality an asset to the country. He contributes a lot to the economy of the country. We can better their overall condition taking concerted steps like giving subsidy in the agricultural sector. Otherwise, hopes and aspirations of the nation will be shattered by the rocks of reality. Model Answer-2 The Life of a Farmer A farmer is a crucial member of society who engages in the cultivation of land, from planting seeds to applying manure and pesticides, weeding out grass, watering crops, and harvesting. Despite the importance of this profession, the farmer's life is often marked by hardship and misery. Typically residing in a rural abode constructed of rudimentary materials such as corrugated iron sheets or straws, a farmer earns his livelihood by working assiduously from dawn to dusk. Rising early in the morning, he takes a modest breakfast and proceeds to his field with basic hand tools and a team of oxen. On occasion, he is unable to return home for a midday meal, being preoccupied with his work. Although the farmer experiences moments of joy when enjoying a bountiful harvest, he also suffers setbacks when his crops are ravaged by droughts, floods, or cyclones. Despite his tireless toil, a farmer's earnings are often insufficient to provide for his family's basic needs. Moreover, he is prone to illnesses. Nevertheless, a farmer may enhance his lot by accessing loans easily and using them prudently. He may also take advantage of advanced mechanized tools and modern cultivation techniques. While society may consider a farmer part of the lower class, in reality, he is an asset to the country, contributing significantly to the economy. To uplift their overall conditions, concerted efforts must be made, such as offering subsidies in the agricultural sector, lest the hopes and aspirations of the nation be shattered by the harsh realities of life. Model Answer-3 The Life of a Farmer       A farmer is an essential member of society, tasked with cultivating agricultural lands and providing for his family. In Bangladesh, an agricultural country, farmers serve as the backbone of the nation's economy and are highly regarded as the primary force behind food production. Regrettably, despite their indispensable role in society, farmers are often undervalued and underappreciated. Without the dedication and labor of farmers, the country's progress would be significantly hindered. Farmers typically reside in villages, some owning their land, while others work as laborers on others' farms. They toil from dawn to dusk, regardless of inclement weather conditions, in order to make ends meet. Despite their hard work, farmers typically struggle to earn enough crops to sustain themselves and their families, resulting in a wretched standard of living. They often reside in thatched houses and cannot afford even the most basic of medical care, as their lack of education and financial resources make them particularly vulnerable to disease. Farmers experience immense joy when they achieve a bountiful harvest, which they can share with their loved ones. Conversely, their spirits plummet when their crops yield a poor harvest, leaving them to face the prospect of starvation. To improve the conditions of farmers and bring them up to speed with modern ideas, an adult education program tailored to their specific needs could be implemented on radio and television.                         Model Answer-2 The Life of a Farmer       A farmer, an individual who cultivates land, meticulously plants seeds, applies fertilizers and pesticides, removes unwanted grasses, and nurtures the crops until harvest. Although a farmer plays an essential role in society, their life is often marked with misery and deprivation. Typically, they reside in a rustic abode made of corrugated iron sheets or thatched roofs in a village. The farmer leads a simple life and depends on the sweat of their brow to earn a livelihood. Starting their day early, the farmer takes a meager breakfast and proceeds to the fields equipped with rudimentary tools and a pair of bullocks. Often, they are so preoccupied with their work that they cannot make time to return home for a midday meal. Their life is a mixture of joys and sorrows, with satisfaction derived from a successful harvest, but anguish arising from crop damage caused by natural calamities such as droughts, floods, and cyclones. Despite their tireless labor, the farmer's meager income fails to fulfill their family's basic needs. Moreover, they are susceptible to numerous diseases due to the nature of their work. However, farmers can improve their condition by taking advantage of easy loans and employing modern, mechanized tools and advanced cultivation methods. Although considered lower class in society, they are an indispensable asset to the country's economy. Nevertheless, their plight is often overlooked, leading to a failure to address their issues. Providing subsidies in the agricultural sector and implementing measures to better their overall condition can be a promising step. Neglecting the needs of farmers, the backbone of our society, would only lead to shattered hopes and unfulfilled aspirations for the nation. Composition / Essay Writing The Life of A Farmer One who works in an agricultural farm is said to be a farmer. A farmer is always a middle-class man or a poor man. He works in the agricultural lands. Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Her soil is very fertile. So, the prosperity of Bangladesh is really dependent on the well-being of the farmers. A farmer generally starts his day at day break. He starts for his work in the crop-field after taking 'Panthabhat' or water rice. He has to till the land with 'plough. He has to do it whether it is a sunny day or not, whether it is raining heavily or there is scorching rays of sun overhead. In the monsoon, a farmer has to work in the field from dawn -to dusk. Sometimes he takes his lunch in the field. A young member of the family normally carries the house-cooked food to the field. A farmer in Bangladesh works hard but in return he gets very little. He is in constant poverty. Now and then he fails to get two square meals a day. He can not give clothes to his family. Besides, his family suffers from various types of diseases. When he has no work in the field, he works as a day labourer to earn his bread. He is really an unfortunate man. He produces food grains by the sweat of his brow. But he can not enjoy the fruits of his labour. That is to say, he lives from hand to mouth throughout the year. On some occasions, he inherits debts from the land lord. He can not repay it. Thus he is born in debt, lives in debt and dies in debt. A farmer in Bangladesh does not really have any recreational facility. He either gossips with his fellow farmers, villagers, or goes to a rich neighbour's house for watching television, if it is available. Otherwise, he takes the opportunity of any other gathering like a village fair or folk songs etc. Indeed farmers are the life of a nation. They are the people who produce our crops to feed the whole nation. They produce the raw materials for our industries. So, a farmer's contribution is very great for the nation. As the farmers are the backbone of this country, we should not neglect them. We all, including the Government, should try to improve the lot of farmers. We should take necessary (effective) steps to improve the daily working condition of a farmer in Bangladesh.   THE LIFE OF A PEASANT Bangladesh is an agro-based country. Agriculture is the main stream of economy of the country. Peasants are the part and parcel of agriculture. To sketch the life of a peasant, we should take a general look at our agriculture. There are three kinds of peasants —(i) the rich, (ii) the middle class and (iii) the poor and landless peasants. The rich peasants are very small in number. The middle-class peasants are considerable in number and the vast majority are the poor and landless peasants who run the wheels of our agriculture. A rich peasant has a kind of indolent and easy-going life. He has much land. He himself does not have to work in the field. He engages other people in his field. A middle-class peasant is more active. He has some lands of his own. He has necessary agricultural equipments. He works himself with others whom he engages in work in his land. The life of a poor and landless peasant is totally different. He has a little land, a plough and a pair of bullocks. His life is one of continuous struggle. He gets up early in the morning, takes some rice soaked with water with a chilly or a little curry-, goes to the field and starts his work. He ploughs the land, sows the seeds and removes the weeds. He works hard. He comes home at noon, takes a bath and meal and then again goes to the field and works till it is dusk. Sometimes, he is so busy that he cannot make time to go home for the mid-day meal. To speak inbrief, He works hard from dawn to dusk to earn a living but it is unfortunate that his lot remains unchanged. A poor or'a landless peasant of Bangladesh lives in a great misery. It is a pity that in spite of hard labour, he is always in want of food, clothing and other bare necessaries. The Government as well as the other non-government organisations must come forward to remove the sufferings of the landless peasants for the economic and overall development of Bangladesh.     The Life of A Farmer   The life of a farmer is characterized by hard work, struggle, and often, poverty. In countries like Bangladesh, where agriculture is the backbone of the economy, farmers play a crucial role in ensuring food security and economic stability. However, despite their vital contribution, farmers often face numerous challenges and hardships in their daily lives. A typical day in the life of a farmer begins at dawn, as they prepare to work in the crop fields. Regardless of weather conditions, whether it's raining heavily or scorching sun overhead, farmers must till the land with ploughs. During the monsoon season, they work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, sometimes even having their lunch in the fields. Their families often send home-cooked meals to sustain them throughout the day. Despite their hard work, farmers in Bangladesh receive little in return. Many live in constant poverty, struggling to provide two square meals a day or clothing for their families. Moreover, they face various health issues due to poor living conditions and lack of access to healthcare. During times when there is no work in the fields, farmers often resort to working as day laborers to make ends meet, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. Additionally, farmers may inherit debts from landlords, further exacerbating their financial struggles. They often live from hand to mouth, unable to enjoy the fruits of their labor. With limited recreational facilities, their leisure time is spent either socializing with fellow farmers or attending gatherings like village fairs or folk songs events. Despite the challenges they face, farmers are the backbone of the nation, providing essential food grains and raw materials for industries. Their contribution to the nation's economy and food security cannot be overstated. Therefore, it is essential to recognize and support farmers to improve their living conditions and ensure their well-being. Efforts should be made by both the government and society to uplift farmers and improve their daily working conditions. This includes providing access to resources, such as agricultural inputs and healthcare, implementing policies to alleviate debt burdens, and investing in rural infrastructure and development. By prioritizing the welfare of farmers, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for agricultural communities and the nation as a whole.   THE FARMER OF BANGLADESH Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Nearly 85% percent of her people live in the village. Most of them are farmers. The farmers are the backbone of our nation as they grow our food which is the most important of our basic needs. So, the prosperity of Bangladesh entirely depends on the well being of the farmers. Their life: Most of the farmers who work on farms are either small landowners or tillers of the land for a share of the produce. Even those who are small land-owners have only an acre or so of land. Many of them do not have enough land to grow enough for themselves. These people often cultivate some fields of those who do not cultivate their land themselves. They get a stipulated share of the produce. The share is generally a half of the total produce. There is also a class of landless peasants. Some of them manage to have a bullock each of his own. They till the land of others and share the produce with the land owners.   Their method of cultivation: Large farms are few in Bangladesh. So big farmers are few. The small farmer or peasant is, as a rule, poor. He cannot afford to buy machines, so he follows the old method of cultivation. Bullocks pull his plough. Sowing is done with hand. Weeding is also done with hand. A tiny spade or a ‘kanchi’ is used for weeding. Harvesting is also done with hand. Again ‘kanchi’ or sickle is the implement used for cutting the grain. Threshing is done with the help of cows and bullocks.   The condition in the past: In the past a peasant of Bangladesh led a happy and pleasant life. He grew a lot of paddy, vegetables and various kinds of crops. He had no want. At night he had no work to do. He came to an open place, smoked and enjoyed humourous talks with fellow brothers. He was as if boudned together by the ties of love and affection wit others.   Present position / Their lot: At present most of the parents of Bangladesh are poor. They eke out a living with great difficulty. They have no land to cultivate. They cultivate the land of well-to-do people and get a share of the crops he produces. They live in huts or poor small houses. Their children do not receive good education. Many of them receive no education at all. Most of those who go to school discontinue before long and help their parents in their struggle for existence. When they grow up, they become peasants and adopt the methods that their forefathers followed. Working hard, a few of them sometimes improve their lot and buy some small plots. This happens only in a few cases. Only the very painstaking few achieve such success. They supplement their income by other means. Some carry on small trades, while others spend their leisure in basket-net-making etc. The reasons for their backwardness: The farmers of Bangladesh are conservative. They are superstitious too. Almost all our farmers are illiterate and ignorant. They have no knowledge about scientific ways to agriculture. So they stick to their age-old methods of cultivation. They have also a pride in the method handed down by their forefathers. This is also another attachment to time -honoured methods. Besides, they often fall victim to natural calamities. Drought, cyclone and flood cause devastation to their crops.   Steps to improve their condition: The condition of the farmers should be improved by taking some effective steps. They should be made understand the necessity of education. Then they should be taught the scientific methods to grow more food. They should be supplied with fertilized and rich seeds. Then, loan should be provided to them on easy terms. The landless farmers should be provided with land. The government should sanction shallow and deep tubewells. Government should also try to check the natural calamities.   Conclusion:     The farmers are the backbone of this country. The Government has already taken the programmes for the welfare of the farmers by some projects. To make the country self-sufficient in food and to make the green revolution a success we should try our best for the improvement of our farmers. PEASANTS OF BANGLADESH The peasants of Bangladesh are generally very small farmers . Farmers having many acres of land are very small in number . Most of our peasants have not much land of their own . The peasants of Bangladesh may be classified under three main heads – the rich , the middle class and the poor and landless peasants . The number of rich peasants in our country is so small that they can be counted on the fingers of the hand . The middle class peasants are considerable in number and form the backbone of the village life . But the vast majority are the poor and landless peasants who are the busiest and most active in the village society . The rich peasants lead a kind of indolent and easy – going life . In easy times they get enough from their holdings for ordinary necessities of life . They can buy for their wives and children holiday attire and ornaments . They may also have some money left for simple luxuries and investment in rural industries and agricultural inputs . They rise late in the morning and after breakfast take their seat in the bungalow where they discuss with others the current affairs of the village and settle disputes of the villagers . Sometimes they go out and inspect the work of the laborers engaged by them for various purposes . After lunch they enjoy regular nap and nobody disturbs them during that time . The middle – class peasants are more active ,though some of them are easy – going . Many of them are landholders having more or less big farms and necessary agricultural equipments . They engage laborers who do all the hard work for them . They supply the speed , the cattle and other necessary things and personally supervise the work of these laborers .   Very different is the life of a poor or a landless peasants . A poor peasant has a little land , a plough and pair of bullocks. His life is one of continuous struggle against poverty . In good times he gets his food from his land and labor ; in hard times , from chance. During the tilling and sowing season he gets up very early and after taking a quantity of stale rice goes to the field with his plough and pair of bullocks. He spends the best part of the day working in the field, unmindful of the sun and the rain. Sometimes he is so busy that he cannot make time to go home for the noonday meal, which is taken to him by a boy or girl of his. His early income is so small that he can hardly provide simple food and coarse cloth for his family. As he has a little land he has to cultivate the land of the big ‘jotdars’ as a share-cropper. Now and then, he has to work on big farms or in the Food For Works Programme of the Government. During the slack season he works fully as a day labourer. If he happens to live near a town, he goes there to work on daily. The fate of a landless peasant is the same as that of a poor peasant with the exception that the former has no land at all. A poor or a landless peasant sometimes inherits debts from his father. To this he is forced to add more in times of misfortune and illness. Thus he is born in debt, lives in debt and dies in debt. What with debts and what with his meager income he can scarcely make both ends meet. It is a pity that in spite of his hard labour he is always in want of food, clothing and other bare necessities of life.

Paragraph Writing Composition / Essay Writing RICE Man eats food to live, and people consume many types of food. However, rice is the main food for many people in Bangladesh and other countries. Rice is a crop that comes from the paddy plant, which is a type of grass, not a tree. The paddy plant has a weak stem, and the rice grows at the top. We get rice by husking the paddy. Rice grows well in hot and moist climates. It needs flat land, heavy rainfall, and plenty of water to grow. Countries like Bangladesh, India, China, Myanmar (Burma), and Japan are major producers of rice. In Bangladesh, the best quality rice is grown in areas like Barishal and Dinajpur. There are many types of paddy plants, so there are different kinds of rice. In Bangladesh, rice is grown in four main types: Aus, Aman, Boro, and Irri. Aus rice is grown in places that are flooded during the rainy season. Bangladesh has a suitable environment for growing this high-quality rice. The paddy plant is grown in a hot, moist climate with plenty of water. The sowing and harvesting times depend on the type of rice. Aus is sown in Baisakh (April-May) and harvested in Shrabon and Bhadra (July-August). Aman is sown in Ashar or Shrabon (June-July) and harvested in Agrahayana and Pous (November-December). Boro rice is grown in the spring season, and Irri rice can be grown all year round. Cultivating rice is not an easy task. First, the farmers plough the land and then harrow it. After that, they sow the seeds, and in a few days, green plants begin to grow. After three to six months, the paddy reaches its full height. When the paddy ripens, it is cut and collected. After the rice plants are cut, they are taken to a threshing area, where the grains are separated. Then, the paddy is dried in the sun and husked to get rice. There are two types of rice: Atap, which is husked and winnowed, and Sidhya, which is husked, boiled, and dried. Rice husking is done using a pedal-powered tool called dheki, or in modern rice mills. Rice is the staple food of Bangladesh, with more than half of the population relying on it. While rice is an essential part of our diet, it is not as nutritious as wheat. Rice quality can decrease when it is boiled for cooking. Rice is also used to make other food items like chira (flattened rice), muri (puffed rice), and khai (crushed rice). Rice flour is used to make cakes called pitha, and rice dust is used as animal feed. The chaff, or leftover husks, can be used as fuel. Despite rice being the most popular food crop in Bangladesh, the total production is still less than the demand. Therefore, it is important to find ways to increase rice production to meet the needs of the growing population. RICE Introduction: Man eats so that he can live. People eat many things. Butsomething is the main food of them. Rice is the main food crops of Bangladesh and many other countries. It is the grain of a paddy plant. Rice is not the fruit of a tree. It is the seed of a paddy plant. Paddy plant is look like a long grass. The plant has a weak stem and paddy holds at the top of the plant. We get rice from the husking paddy. Where grown: The main food rice grows in moist and hot climate. It requires plain and low land and heavy rainfall for its growth. Rice grows mainly in Bangladesh, India, China, Burma and Japan. Bangladesh is one of the producers of rice. The best quality of rice are grown in Barishal and Dinajpur. Kinds: We get rice from paddy plant. So, there are many kinds of paddy plant. One kind of paddy grows is plenty in a place which goes under water in the rainy season. Bangladesh is the land of this nature. So, rice of superior quality grows here in large quantity. There are mainly of four types of rice in Bangladesh. They are Aus, Aman, Boro and Irri. When grown: Paddy is grown in hot and moist climate. Plenty of water necessary for the growth of rice. ‘Aus’ is sown in ‘Baisakh’ and reaped in ‘Shrabon’ and ‘Bhadra’. ‘Aman’ is sown in ‘Ashar’ or ‘Shrabon’ and reaped in ‘Agrahayana’ and ‘Pous’. ‘Boro’ grows in the spring season and ‘Irri’ grows all year ground. Process of Cultivation / How Grown: The cultivation of paddy is not easy. The farmers at first plough the land and then it is harrowed. Seeds are sown. In a few days green plants come out. Within three to six mouth the paddy become in its proper height. When the paddy ripe, they are then cut and taken out of straw. How obtained: After cutting the plant, farmers carry the plant to the trashing compound and finally trash. Then the paddy is dried in the sun and husked for rice. We get two kinds of rice. One we get by husking and winnowed. That is called Atap. Another one is husking, boil, and then dried in the sun. That is called sidhya. Husking of rice is also done in two ways. It is done by a husking pedal or dheki and other is in rice mill. Uses of Rice and paddy: Rice is the staple food of our country. Above half of the people lives on it. In the food value it is inferior to wheat. Rice loses it quality when it is prepare for food by boiling. Chira, Muri, Khai are made of it. A few kinds of cakes called pitha are made from rice flower. Rice dust is good food for cattle. Chaff is used as a fuel. Conclusion: The total production of rice is less than the demand of the rice eating countries. It is true that rice is the most popular food crop of Bangladesh. So, we should try our best to increase the production of paddy.

Translation RICE মানুষ বেঁচে থাকার জন্য খাবার খায় এবং বিভিন্ন ধরনের খাবার খেয়ে থাকে। তবে বাংলাদেশসহ অনেক দেশের মানুষের প্রধান খাদ্য হলো চাল। ধান গাছ থেকে চাল পাওয়া যায়, যা এক ধরনের ঘাস; এটি গাছ নয়। ধান গাছের কাণ্ড দুর্বল এবং চাল এর শীর্ষে জন্মায়। ধান থেকে চাল পেতে হলে তা ছাঁটাই করতে হয়। চাল গরম ও আর্দ্র জলবায়ুতে ভালোভাবে জন্মে। সমতল জমি, প্রচুর বৃষ্টিপাত এবং প্রচুর পানি প্রয়োজন হয় এর চাষে। বাংলাদেশ, ভারত, চীন, মিয়ানমার এবং জাপান চাল উৎপাদনের প্রধান দেশ। বাংলাদেশে বরিশাল ও দিনাজপুর এলাকায় উৎকৃষ্ট মানের চাল উৎপন্ন হয়। ধান গাছের অনেক প্রকার থাকায় চালেরও বিভিন্ন ধরনের বৈচিত্র্য রয়েছে। বাংলাদেশে মূলত চার ধরনের ধান চাষ হয়: আউশ, আমন, বোরো এবং ইরি। আউশ ধান সাধারণত বর্ষাকালে প্লাবিত এলাকায় জন্মে। বাংলাদেশের আবহাওয়া এই উন্নত মানের চাল চাষের জন্য উপযোগী। ধান গরম, আর্দ্র জলবায়ুতে এবং প্রচুর পানির প্রাচুর্যে বৃদ্ধি পায়। ধান বপন ও ফসল কাটার সময় বিভিন্ন ধরণের উপর নির্ভর করে। আউশ ধান বৈশাখ মাসে (এপ্রিল-মে) বপন করা হয় এবং শ্রাবণ বা ভাদ্র মাসে (জুলাই-আগস্ট) কাটা হয়। আমন ধান আষাঢ় বা শ্রাবণ মাসে (জুন-জুলাই) বপন করা হয় এবং আগ্রহায়ণ বা পৌষ মাসে (নভেম্বর-ডিসেম্বর) কাটা হয়। বোরো ধান বসন্তকালে চাষ হয় এবং ইরি ধান সারা বছর চাষ করা যায়। চাল চাষ করা সহজ কাজ নয়। প্রথমে কৃষকরা জমি চাষ করে এবং মই দিয়ে সমান করে। এরপর তারা বীজ বপন করে, আর কয়েক দিনের মধ্যেই সবুজ চারা গজাতে শুরু করে। তিন থেকে ছয় মাসের মধ্যে ধান গাছ পূর্ণ উচ্চতায় পৌঁছায়। ধান পাকার পর তা কেটে সংগ্রহ করা হয়। ধান কাটার পর মাড়াইয়ের স্থানে নিয়ে গিয়ে শস্য থেকে ধান আলাদা করা হয়। তারপর ধান রোদে শুকানো হয় এবং ছাঁটাই করে চাল পাওয়া যায়। চাল দুই ধরনের হয়: আতপ, যা ছেঁকে ও ঝেড়ে পাওয়া যায় এবং সিদ্ধ চাল, যা ছাঁটাই করার পর সিদ্ধ ও শুকানো হয়। ধান ছাঁটাই মেশিনে বা ঢেঁকি নামক পা-চালিত যন্ত্রে করা হয়। চাল বাংলাদেশের প্রধান খাদ্য, যেখানে জনসংখ্যার অর্ধেকের বেশি মানুষের জন্য এটি অত্যাবশ্যক। যদিও চাল আমাদের খাদ্যের অপরিহার্য অংশ, এটি গমের মতো পুষ্টিকর নয়। রান্নার সময় চালে থাকা পুষ্টি কমে যেতে পারে। এছাড়া চাল দিয়ে চিঁড়া, মুড়ি ও খই তৈরি হয়। চালের গুঁড়া দিয়ে পিঠা তৈরি হয় এবং ধানের তুষ পশুখাদ্য হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়। চালের খোসা জ্বালানি হিসেবেও ব্যবহৃত হয়। বাংলাদেশে চাল সবচেয়ে জনপ্রিয় খাদ্যশস্য হলেও উৎপাদন চাহিদার তুলনায় কম। তাই ক্রমবর্ধমান জনসংখ্যার চাহিদা পূরণের জন্য চাল উৎপাদন বৃদ্ধির উপায় খুঁজে বের করা জরুরি। Vocabulary: 80 vocabulary words from the text on Rice with their meanings in English, Bangla, and Hindi: Vocabulary English Meaning Bangla Meaning Hindi
