Translation: (প্রবাদ আছে যে স্বাস্থ্যই সম্পদ।) Explanation: When completing a well-known English proverb, the exact words of the proverb must be used. Here, the conjunction "that" introduces a noun clause that states the proverb. (b) Given: "Unless you have good health ______" Completed: "Unless you have good health, you cannot enjoy life." Translation: (সুস্বাস্থ্য না থাকলে তুমি জীবন উপভোগ করতে পারবে না।) Explanation: "Unless" means "if not" and introduces a negative condition. The main clause that follows must logically present the consequence of that condition, usually taking a negative modal like "cannot" or "will not". (c) Given: "A healthy poor man is happier than ______" Completed: "A healthy poor man is happier than a sick rich man." Translation: (সুস্থ গরিব মানুষ অসুস্থ ধনী মানুষের চেয়ে বেশি সুখী।) Explanation: "Than" is used to make a comparison. To maintain parallel structure, the noun phrase following "than" should contrast directly with the subject "A healthy poor man." (d) Given: "You may have a lot of wealth but ______" Completed: "You may have a lot of wealth but no peace of mind." Translation: (তোমার অনেক সম্পদ থাকতে পারে কিন্তু মনের শান্তি নেই।) Explanation: The coordinating conjunction "but" connects two contrasting ideas. If you have "wealth" (positive/material), the contrast is usually the lack of something immaterial, like "peace of mind." (e) Given: "In order to have a good health ______" Completed: "In order to have a good health, you must follow health rules." Translation: (সুস্বাস্থ্য পেতে হলে তোমাকে অবশ্যই স্বাস্থ্যবিধি মেনে চলতে হবে।) Explanation: The phrase "In order to" expresses purpose. It must be followed by an independent main clause containing a subject and a verb that explains what action needs to be taken to achieve that purpose. 2. [Rajshahi Board-2025] (a) Given: "Had I the wings of a bird, ______." Completed: "Had I the wings of a bird, I would fly in the sky." Translation: (আমার যদি পাখির মতো ডানা থাকত, তবে আমি আকাশে উড়তাম।) Explanation: This is an inverted Second Conditional sentence (unreal past). "Had I..." means "If I had...". Therefore, the main clause must follow the structure: Subject + would/could/might + base verb. (b) Given: "If he had been seen by me, ______." Completed: "If he had been seen by me, I would have called him." Translation: (আমি যদি তাকে দেখতাম, তবে আমি তাকে ডাকতাম।) Explanation: This is a Third Conditional sentence in the passive voice (If + past perfect). The main clause must represent an unfulfilled past action using the structure: Subject + would have + past participle (V3). (c) Given: "It is high time we ______." Completed: "It is high time we left the house." Translation: (আমাদের এখনই বাড়ি ছাড়ার উপযুক্ত সময়।) Explanation: The phrase "It is high time" is used to express urgency. When followed by a subject ("we"), the verb must be in the past simple tense ("left"). (d) Given: "No sooner had we reached the school ______." Completed: "No sooner had we reached the school than the class started." Translation: (আমরা স্কুলে পৌঁছাতে না পৌঁছাতেই ক্লাস শুরু হয়ে গেল।) Explanation: The correlative conjunction structure "No sooner had + subject + V3" must always be paired with "than" followed by a clause in the past simple tense (subject + V2). (e) Given: "The more you read ______." Completed: "The more you read, the more you learn." Translation: (যতই পড়বে, ততই শিখবে।) Explanation: This uses the double comparative structure ("The more..., the more...") to show a proportional cause-and-effect relationship. 3.

Translation: (তিনি যে একজন ভালো শিক্ষক তা সবার জানা।) Explanation: "That he is a good teacher" functions as a dependent noun clause acting as the entire subject of the sentence. It requires a singular main verb phrase ("is known") to complete the thought. (b) Given: "He speaks as if ______." Completed: "He speaks as if he understood everything." Translation: (সে এমনভাবে কথা বলে যেন সে সবকিছু বোঝে।) Explanation: "As if" introduces an unreal or hypothetical situation. Since the preceding verb ("speaks") is in the present tense, the following verb must be in the past simple or past subjunctive ("understood"). (c) Given: "___ he should miss the train." Completed: "He ran fast lest he should miss the train." Translation: (সে দ্রুত দৌড়েছিল পাছে সে ট্রেনটি মিস করে।) Explanation: The conjunction "lest" expresses a negative purpose (for fear that). It is always followed by a clause containing "should + base verb". We must provide the main action ("He ran fast") that was done to prevent missing the train. (d) Given: "Only the wearer knows ____." Completed: "Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches." Translation: (কেবলমাত্র পরিধানকারীই জানে জুতো কোথায় কামড়ায়/কষ্ট দেয়।) Explanation: This is a fixed English proverb meaning "Only the person experiencing a problem truly understands it."

Translation: (আমি যদি বিলিয়নিয়ার হতাম, তবে আমি গরিবদের সাহায্য করতাম।) Explanation: The main clause uses "would have + past participle", indicating a Third Conditional. The dependent condition clause must be in the past perfect. Using inversion without "if", it becomes "Had I been...". 4. [Sylhet Board-2025] (a) Given: "Hardly had we heard the news ______." Completed: "Hardly had we heard the news when we rushed to the spot." Translation: (খবরটি শুনতে না শুনতেই আমরা ঘটনাস্থলে ছুটে গেলাম।) Explanation: The negative adverb structure "Hardly had + subject + V3" must be followed by the conjunction "when" (or "before") and a clause in the past simple tense.

Completed: "He disturbed me while I was working." Translation: (আমি যখন কাজ করছিলাম তখন সে আমাকে বিরক্ত করেছিল।) Explanation: The conjunction "while" connects a shorter interrupting action ("disturbed") with a longer continuous background action.

Completed: "Those who always speak the truth are known as truthful people." Translation: (যারা সর্বদা সত্য কথা বলে তারা সত্যবাদী হিসেবে পরিচিত।) Explanation: The demonstrative pronoun "Those" needs a relative clause starting with "who" to describe the specific group of people that matches the predicate "are known as truthful people."

(d) Given: "Though a liar sometimes speaks the truth ______." Completed: "Though a liar sometimes speaks the truth, people still find it hard to believe him." Translation: (যদিও একজন মিথ্যুক কখনো কখনো সত্য কথা বলে, তবুও মানুষ তাকে বিশ্বাস করতে কষ্ট বোধ করে।) Explanation: "Though" introduces a concessive clause. The main clause must show an unexpected or contrasting result. (e) Given: "So, it is a wise decision ______." Completed: "So, it is a wise decision to always stick to the truth." Translation: (তাই, সর্বদা সত্যের পথে অবিচল থাকা একটি বিজ্ঞ সিদ্ধান্ত।) Explanation: The phrase "it is a wise decision" serves as an introductory clause.

Completed: "It is English which is essential to learn as it is an international language." Translation: (ইংরেজিই সেই ভাষা যা শেখা অপরিহার্য কারণ এটি একটি আন্তর্জাতিক ভাষা।) Explanation: Adjectives like "essential" are naturally followed by an infinitive ("to learn") to specify the action.

Sir, With due respect and humble submission, I would like to state that I am a regular student of class XII, Science Group, in your famous college. I have been studying here with good marks, and my attendance in class is almost 100%. My father is a government officer. Recently, he has been transferred from Narayanganj to Cumilla. Our whole family will shift to Cumilla next week. But my HSC examination is very near. It is the most important exam of my life. I have no relatives or local guardians in Narayanganj to stay with. If I move to Cumilla with my family right now, my studies will be heavily damaged. A new college and a new environment will waste a lot of my valuable time. Therefore, I urgently need a seat in your college hostel. The college hostel has a strict and quiet environment which is very good for study. If I get a seat there, I can continue my classes regularly and take good preparation for my upcoming final examination. I, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to grant me a seat in the college hostel as early as possible and help me to continue my studies. Yours obediently, [Your Name] Class: XII Group: Science Roll No: 12 14. Alarming Rise of Teen Gangs in Narayanganj Staff Reporter, Narayanganj, 23 August 2026: The people of Narayanganj are very worried and afraid nowadays. The reason is the sudden rise of "teen gangs" in the local areas. Young boys aged between 14 and 18 are forming these dangerous groups. They are doing many bad things and destroying the peace of the society. These young boys ride motorcycles at very high speeds on the narrow streets. They make loud noises and create fear among the common people. They also stand in front of schools and colleges to tease girls. Because of this, many parents are afraid to send their daughters to school. Besides, these gang members are getting involved in taking drugs and stealing money. Sometimes, different teen gangs fight with each other using sharp weapons just to show their power. Recently, three boys were badly injured in a street fight in the Chashara area. Local people say that lack of family care and the bad use of smartphones are the main reasons for this big problem. Parents do not know where their boys go after school. When asked, the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of the local police station said, "We know about this problem. We are increasing police patrols to catch the bad boys." However, only police cannot solve this. Parents must watch their children carefully, and society must come forward to save our young generation. 15. Early Rising and Late Rising Early rising means getting up from bed early in the morning, while late rising is the exact opposite. There is a big difference between these two habits. Early rising is a very good and healthy habit. An early riser gets a lot of time to do his daily work. He can walk in the fresh morning air, which makes his body and mind highly active. He has enough time to pray, exercise, and enjoy the beautiful nature. As a result, he can finish his work perfectly without any mental stress. On the other hand, late rising is a very bad habit. A late riser misses the fresh air and the beauty of the morning. Because he gets up late, he has very little time to do his daily work. He always rushes, feels tired, and makes mistakes in his duties. He also suffers from different physical and mental diseases because of laziness. Generally, an early riser becomes successful and happy in life. But a late riser fails to reach his goals. In short, early rising is a blessing, and late rising is a curse. We all should build the habit of getting up early. 16. Degradation Moral degradation means the loss of good qualities, values, and character in human beings. It means forgetting what is right and doing what is wrong. Honesty, truthfulness, kindness, and respect for others are our moral values. When people lose these good values, it is called moral degradation. Today, it has become a very big problem in our society. There are many reasons behind this serious problem. First of all, people today are running blindly after money. They think money is everything in life. They do not care about honesty or rules. Secondly, family ties are becoming weak. Parents are very busy with their jobs and cannot give enough time to teach good things to their children. Thirdly, the bad use of the internet, social media, and mobile phones is destroying the character of young people. Finally, the lack of religious and moral education in schools is a major cause of this downfall. The effects of moral degradation are very dangerous. Because of this, crimes like murder, stealing, and kidnapping are increasing every day. People are taking bribes and telling lies without feeling guilty. Young boys are taking drugs and losing respect for their parents and teachers. The peaceful environment of the society is completely destroyed. People cannot trust each other anymore. We must solve this problem as soon as possible to save our nation. Parents must spend quality time with their children and teach them good manners from childhood. Schools and colleges must focus on moral education, not just passing exams. If we can bring back our moral values, our society will be a beautiful, safe, and peaceful place to live in.
