A winter morning is cold and fogy. Nature takes a mysterious look in the morning. Things at a little distance cannot be seen. The grass and leaves remain wet with dewdrops. When the sun rises, the dewdrops seem to be pearls. Old people and children shiver in cold. People wear warm clothes like coats, trousers, pullover, jackets etc. Some people bask in the sun wherever it is available. One special aspect of a winter morning is the way of warming oneself. People gather dry twigs, hay, waste paper and even old rubber-tyres and set fire with them. They sit around it and engage themselves in pleasant gossip. A winter morning brings problem to the poor people though it is pleasant for the rich. The poor cannot afford good warm cloths. They have to tolerate biting cold throughout the season. They hide themselves in the corner of the house and try to save themselves from the biting cold outside. People get up late in the morning. Working people get out when the fog disappears and when the sun is hot. People usually eat homemade cakes with date juice and enjoy the warmth of the early sun sitting outside their houses. A winter morning is pleasant to the rich but unpleasant to the poor.

A popular proverb goes, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.” The moral of this proverb is that it is good for a man to go to bed and to get up early from bed. The advantages of early rising are many. If a man rises early in the morning, he gets a great opportunity to breathe a fresh air that is very good for health. One can enjoy a fresh nature that is rare in other part of the day. One can fit oneself taking exercise regularly and for doing so one must have to rise early. Those who are early riser find the day longer than those who are late riser. A late riser becomes lazy; on the other hand, an early riser becomes active. He gets charm in his work. He can finish his work in time. It is very essential for students to get up early because a student can study in a calm and quiet environment at dawn. The study in the morning is much more effective than that of any other time. Above all, the habit of early rising helps a man to form  a disciplined life. So, we should make this habit for a beautiful life.

Every day we find the news of many road accidents in newspaper. There are some certain reasons behind it. Unawareness is one of them. Some people do not use foot over bridge. To save five minutes they cross their road taking risk. Avoiding traffic rules is another reason of a street accident. Last week I saw a serious street accident. It took place before my eyes. A young boy was crossing the Mirpur Road. Just at that time, a truck was coming at a great speed. The boy noticed the truck coming but it was too late. He did not get chance to save himself. The truck ran over the boy. The truck did not stop rather it speeded away. I rushed to the spot. To my horror, I saw that, he was no more a human body but a lump of flesh. I was greatly shocked at this tragic scene. I could not forget the scene. We should keep in mind that life is more valuable than time. To avoid street accidents we must follow the traffic rules and encourage others to follow as well.

A book fair is a place where books of various kinds are brought for sale and display. It is usually held in the winter season in an open place in most of the major cities of the country. It helps to increase the interest in book throughout the country. The bookworms never miss it. The main thing about a book fair is not sale but display of books on different subjects. Various institutions on various occasions, namely, Martyrs Day, Victory Day, Independence Day etc, organize it. The leading publishers of the country set up stalls of their recent publications beside old ones. Various kinds of novels, poetical works and science fictions are available in a book fair. A festive look prevails all around. The renowned artists, poets, intellectuals gather there and take part in the seminars and cultural programs. Sometimes the writers/authors put their autographs in their own books. This is an expectation of the book lovers. Bangla Academy organized the most popular book fair of the country in its own premises. A book fair can play an important role in developing the habit of reading books among the people. It is a potential way to spread culture, education and knowledge. It changes our outlook on life and widens our domain of knowledge.

Air is the most important element of environment. Man cannot live a single moment without air. But we do not think that it is we who pollute this vital element. Clean air is essential for life. Air is polluted in many ways. Smoke pollutes air. Man makes fires to cook food, burns coals to make bricks, melts pitch for road construction and burns wood. All these things produce heavy smoke and this smoke pollutes air. Railway engines, power houses, mills and factories use coal and oil. Buses, trucks and cars use petrol and diesel oil. Again all these things create smoke and cause air pollution. The most serious air pollution occurs in big industrial areas where there are many mills and cars plying along the street every day. Sometimes men in industrial areas become so sick by inhaling polluted air that they cannot be cured. So, proper measures and steps should be taken to prevent air pollution.

Traffic Jam

Traffic jam has become a common sight in our modern city life. It occurs because of the large number of vehicles. In our country, there are other causes too. The roads are mostly narrow and out of repair. There is often garbage and building materials kept on the roads. There are many unauthorized roadside shops. Often because of meeting and processions, roads are blocked. There is a tendency among the drivers to disobey traffic rules. The drivers also have an overtaking tendency. Slow-moving and swift-moving vehicles move together that also causes traffic jam. Traffic jam is acute during the time people go to or return from their work or at the time of public examinations. Traffic jam gives a nation nothing good. It wastes our time. People cannot go to their respective place in time because of it. Patients on the way to hospitals suffer acutely and it often causes death. The authority should take proper steps to solve this problem. Laws must be enforced. People should use over-bridges. The roads should be specious enough for the smooth movement of the vehicles. Some roads should be made one-way. If proper steps are not taken soon, city life will become intolerable in near future.

Tree Plantation

Word meaning: ecological balance(প্রাকৃতিক ভারসাম্য), nutritious(পুষ্টিকর), lifeblood(জীবনীশক্তি), shade(ছায়া), shelter(আশ্রয়), fertile(উর্বর), erosion(নদী ভাঙ্গন), timber(কাঠ), fuel(জ্বালানি), source(উৎস), impact(প্রভাব), climate(জলবায়ু), destroy(ধ্বংস করা), randomly(ইচ্ছামত), desert(মরুভূমি)

      

Trees are the most important gifts of nature. They help us in maintaining the ecological balance that is essential for the protection of life on earth. They are our true friends. They play an important role in our life and economy. Trees are useful to us in many ways. We get different kinds of nutritious fruits from trees, which make us healthy and protect us from diseases. Everyday a lot of carbon dioxide is produced and the air is polluted. Trees help us by taking carbon dioxide and giving us oxygen. Oxygen is our lifeblood. Without oxygen we cannot live a second. The more we have trees, the more we get oxygen. Trees give shade and shelter to many people. Trees make the land fertile and save the soil from erosion. Trees attract rains. We get timber from trees. We use timbers in making houses, furniture, etc. Trees are used as fuel. Trees are also our source of income. We can earn a lot of money by selling fruits and timber. Trees and forests bear a great impact on climate. If we destroy trees randomly, one day the country will turn into a desert. So, tree plantation is a must.

Environment Pollution

Word meaning: around(চারপাশ),threat(হুমকি), particularly(বিশেষ করে), responsible(দায়ী), hazard(ক্ষতি), refuse(পরিত্যাক্ত জিনিস), melt(গলানো), waste(আবর্জনা), insecticides(কীটনাশক), chemical(রাসায়নিক), fertilizers(সার), ecological imbalance(প্রাকৃতিক ভারসাম্যহীনতা), natural disasters(প্রাকৃতিক দুর্যোগ), adopt(অবলম্বন), measures(পদক্ষেপ), sanitary(স্বাস্থ্যসম্মত), factors(বিষয়াদি), co-operate(সহযোগিতা), for the sake of(স্বার্থে), existence(অস্তিত্য)

                   

All we see around us are the elements of environment. However, Air, water and soil are some of the main elements. But, they often become a threat to our life, particularly when they get polluted. They are polluted in many ways. Smoke is usually responsible for air pollution to create health hazard. It mixes with air and pollutes it. Man makes fire to cook food, to make bricks, to burn refuse and to melt pitch. Fire crates smoke and that smoke pollutes air. In addition, water is polluted through waste, insecticides and chemical fertilizers, oil etc. Trees are also a useful element of environment. Environmental pollution gives rise to ecological imbalance and brings about natural disasters. We should adopt measures to save environment. We should plan trees more and more. They cause rain and save the air from pollution, soil from erosion. People should be made aware of the importance of using sanitary latrine so that the pond water and river water remain pure. Government should also take steps to remove the factors that cause environment pollution. As good citizens we should also co-operate the government for the sake of our own existence.

Your School Library

A library is a place where books are kept for reading. A school library is a library set up in the school compound mainly for the benefit of the students. A school library is part and parcel of a school. We also have one in our school. It is housed on the first floor in a big room of the school building. Ours is a very well furnished library. It has a very rich collection of books. The library has more than one thousand books. Books of almost all branches of knowledge are available in the library. The books are kept in 20 almirahs. The books are also on shelves. The books are arranged in different shelves according to subjects. In the library there is also a librarian. He helps the students find the book. The library has two rooms. One room is for keeping books, another for study and taking notes. We sit and get absorbed in books to enrich our knowledge by reading books in the library. A pin-drop silence exists there at that time. Students can borrow books from the library for a certain period. They are greatly benefited with the library.  Whenever I get chance, I go there and have a glance at the books of varied interests.

Deforestation

Word meaning: Deforestation(বৃক্ষ নিধন), various (বিভিন্ন), provide (সরবরাহ করা), shade(ছায়া), prevent (প্রতিরোধ), drought (খরা), draw (নেওয়া/তুলে নেওয়া), profit (লাভ), cut down(কেটে ফেলা), destroyed (ধ্বংস), firewood (জ্বালানি কাঠ), ecological balance(প্রাকৃতিক ভারসাম্য), erosion(নদী ভাঙ্গন), deprive of(বঞ্চিত করা), timber (কাঠ), economic loss (আর্থিক ক্ষতি), Therefore (অতএব), realize (অনুধাবন), desert (মরুভূমি), educate (শিক্ষিত করা), common(সাধারণ), encourage(উৎসাহিত), abstain from(বিরত থাকা), awareness(সচেতনতা), motivate(উৎসাহিত), plant(রোপন করা), Otherwise(অন্যথায়), disappear (নিশ্চিহ্ন হয়ে যাওয়া), miseries(দুঃখ-কষ্ট), at least(অন্তত)

    

Deforestation means cutting down trees in large numbers. Trees are useful to us in various ways. They provide us with wood, food and other products, they give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods. But, the last of these services of trees is the most important. To draw quick profit from trees, men cut them down in large numbers. Trees are destroyed mostly for being used as firewood. This destruction disturbs our ecological balance. It leads to soil erosion, deprives us of fruit and timber, and causes economic loss. Therefore, we have to realize the bad effects of deforestation. In fact, if deforestation goes on, our country will turn into a desert. So, we have to educate our common people and to encourage them to abstain from cutting down trees. We should create awareness among the general people about the bad effects of destroying forests and motivate them to plant more and more trees. Otherwise, the forests of our country will slowly disappear and we will be in great miseries. So, I think every man and woman should plant at least a tree every year.

Load-shedding

Word meaning: suspension(বিচ্ছিন্নতা), certain reasons (নির্দিষ্ট কারণ), behind (পিছনে), occurs (ঘটে), generation(উৎপাদন), demand (চাহিদা), unplanned(অপরিকল্পিত), distribution(বণ্টন), illegal(অবৈধ), responsible(দায়ী), idly(অলসভাবে), terribly(মারান্তকভাবে), owing to(জন্যে), socio-economic(আর্থ-সামাজিক), due to (জন্যে), seems(মনে হয় যেন), standstill(স্থির/স্থবির), Yet(তারপরও), ensuring(নিশ্চিত করে), reducing(কমিয়ে), get rid of(মুক্তি পাওয়া), curse (অভিশাপ), effective(কার্যকরি), steps(পদক্ষেপ), regard(বিষয়ে)

Load-shedding is the suspension of electricity supply on certain lines. There are some certain reasons behind this problem. It occurs when the generation of power is less than the demand. Besides, unplanned distribution and illegal connection of electricity are also responsible for it. It creates various serious problems. The students are affected by it if it occurs at night. They sit idly in the dark closing their books. They suffer terribly owing to load-shedding on the night before their examination. Mills, factories, industries, all academic and socio-economic institution seriously suffer due to it. It seems that everything comes to a standstill position and so life becomes painful. During operation of a patient in a hospital, load-shedding can damage one’s life. In a country like ours, it is very difficult to solve the problem of load-shedding. Yet we can go a long way by establishing new power plants, ensuring planned distribution, reducing system loss by checking illegal connections. If these are ensured, we may expect to get rid of the curse of load-shedding. Government should also take effective steps in this regard.

A School Magazine

Word meaning: periodical(সাময়িক), creative(সৃষ্টিশীল), behind(পিছনে), express(প্রকাশ করা), hidden (সুপ্ত/লুকায়িত), introduced (পরিচিত), intellect(মেধা), editor(সম্পাদক), on behalf of (পক্ষে), biography(জীবনী), autobiography(আত্নকাহিনী), inspection(যাচাই), press(ছাপাখানা), amazing (মজার), mirror(আয়না)

A school magazine is an annual or periodical publication of a school. Through it, the students and the teachers can have the opportunities to show their creative power. It plays an important role in one’s school life. A student can express his hidden thought and feeling to other students. There he may be introduced to others with his intellect. The students can exercise literary writings through it. To publish a magazine, a committee is formed in a general meeting of the school. The headmaster is the head of the committee and also he looks after the whole activities. One or two teachers are selected as editor. There are also some students in this committee on behalf of all students. At first, the editor invites writings from the teachers and the students for the magazine. Any kind of creative writing such as poem, short story, jokes, article on biography, autobiography, science fiction and so on is allowed here. After proper inspection and editing, the best ones are selected and sent to the press for printing. It is very amazing to see one’s writing in printed paper. A school magazine is a way of knowing oneself. In a word, a school magazine is the mirror of a school.

A street hawker deals in various things by hawking from street to street. We do not see him always at the same place. He carries his materials on head and sometimes in hand and sometimes in a small handcart. He generally buys his goods at a cheaper rate and sells them at a good profit. A street hawker is very cunning. He knows his business very well. Most of the time, his customers are children and women. To satisfy their taste he brings toys, sweets and other things for children and sells them at a fixed price at a good rate. He also brings bangles, ribbons clothing, fruits, utensils, fancy goods and things of domestic uses for women. He speaks in different ways to draw the attention of his customers. A hawker also knows the time of his business. He does not come when housemasters are at home. Rather he comes when housemasters are out of home and when women are free from their household works and duties. He often cheats women and is cheated by the women. He leads a very hard and busy life. Often he does not get food in time. He hawks under sun and rain alike. Above all, he makes our life easier to reach the daily commodities in our hand. So we must be very careful about dealing with and sympathetic towards him.
