4.Traffic jam

Traffic jam is a common affair in big cities and towns in our country. It is one of the major problems. Every day the city people have to face this unbearable problem. The density of population is the main cause of traffic jam. The enormous increase in the number of buses, trucks, auto rickshaws  and rich shows is also responsible for this problem; moreover, the traffic control system is not developed in our country. The drivers want to drive their vehicles at their sweet will. Illegal parking of vehicles is also responsible for traffic jam. It causes untold sufferings to the movement of the vehicles and the passers-by. It kills our valuable time and our works are hampered. This problem can be solved by adopting some effective measures. Traffic rules should be imposed strictly. Well planned spacious roads should be constructed. Public awareness is also needed in his respect.

5.A street accident

In a populous city like Dhaka a street accident is a daily incident. But last afternoon I saw is accident which really shocked me much. There was a good number of traffic on the road. I was on my way home from school and looking for a chance to cross the Sadarghat crossing. A young boy was to cross the road. He suddenly stepped on the street and a bus running at a high speed from Patuatuly ran over him. The driver tried earnestly to stop the bus but failed. I along with other people ran to the spot at once and saw that the boy was smashed. The traffic police arrested the bus driver. Soon an ambulance came and took away the dead body of the boy.

6.The 21st February

1.The 21st February is a red letter day in our history. It is observed as the shaheed day or mother language day. Throughout the year of 1952 the students and general people of the then east Pakistan protested against the adamant declaration of the Pakistani leaders that Urdu shall be the only state language of Pakistan. The Bengal is composed and protested this unjust imposition and denial of the status of their mother language. They demanded for bangla to be given the status  of the status language. Their protests culminated on 21 February 1952 when the police fired on a procession brought by the students at Dhaka university campus. Some of valiant souls –Rafique, jabbar, Salam, barkat were killed. They are the first martyrs in the world for the cause of language. This blood – shedding is the historical 21^st February.

7. A Street beggar

A beggar is a person who begs from door to door. There are some beggars who beg on streets. They are called street beggars. Begging is not a profession. It is a social problem. Though beggars earn money by begging, they do not contribute to the economy. That is why begging is not regarded as work or profession. In fact, begging is the result of our poor socio-economic system. Beggars do not have any social dignity or recognition. They are the ignoble persons in the society. They live on the mercy of others. So everybody feels pity for them or looks down upon them. Begging creates dependency on others, idleness and self-pity in the beggar. Deprivation, extreme want, lack of work and lack of social security are the causes of this problem. Many people lose their everything in natural disaster like flood, river erosion or some fatal diseases and accidents and become so helpless that they turn to begging for survival. Breakdown of poor families and lack of support from the family members also lead many people to begging. Have negative effects on society and economy. It is a loss of potential human energy and workforce. It also causes some social evils. NGO’s and micro-credit organizations can come forward to solve the problem by developing programmes for the destitute people so that they can earn and live well. Govt. should have social security belt that will support the very poor-section of the society. Recently govt. is giving monetary help to the impoverished and older people. The amount of money and number of beneficiaries should be increased. If rich people do their social responsibility and extend their helping, begging will reduce to a great extent.

A cyclone may occur any time and at any place. The violent rounded. The violent types of cyclone usually hit the tropics. The cyclone of Bangladesh generally originates from the bay –of- Bengal, and blows towards that land. It is often accompanied by thunders and heavy showers. Before a cyclone commences unbearable heat is felt for a few days. Then suddenly one day the sky becomes terribly dark with clouds and strong winds begin to blow with flashes of lightning and the rumbling of thunders. Thus a terrible situation is created that lasts for a few hours. It causes a great havoc. A lot of people another animals die. Dwelling houses are blown away. The tidal bore and the heavy showers wash away the stores of food stuff and leave the marks of terrible damage. The cyclone is usually followed by scarcity of food and outbreak of various diseases such as cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea, fever and etc. which spread all over the affected areas. However, the great loss caused by cyclones can be reduced to a substantial extent.

Clean air is essential for life. Air is polluted in many ways. Smoke pollutes air. Man makes fires to cook his food, to make bricks burns refuse, 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 also occurs in big cities where there are many buses, trucks and cars plying the street every day. Sometimes men in big industrial area become so sick by inhaling polluted air that they cannot be cured. So proper measures and steps should be taken to prevent air pollution.

Since I know that vegetables are essential to keep good health, I have made a kitchen garden behind our house. I usually work there in the morning and in the afternoon. I weed out the garden, water the plants, spread fertilizer etc. I spend busy time in the afternoon. I cultivate all kinds of seasonal vegetables like cabbage , cauliflower egg-plant , tomato , gourd, pumpkin, pepper etc. my kitchen garden is not only a source of vegetables to my family but also a source of income. We don’t need to buy any vegetable from the market. It supplies fresh vegetables to my family. Thus it helps my family.

In a nuclear family, one has got less duties and responsibilities than in an extended family. So one can remain free from anxiety. He can have much free time to move in a nuclear family; specially a student enjoys much free time. So, he can study more and more. Again, a nuclear family is free from noise and disturbance.  So, one feels very happy there. But there is no unmixed blessing in the world. Nuclear family is not without its disadvantages. One often feels very lonely and bored. If any member faces any problem, there is none to come forward to extend his help to him or her. In a nuclear family it becomes very difficult to take any important decision because his/her decision may not be wise always.

We should find out the remedy to this problem. First we should drink water from a source that contains no arsenic. Tube wells need to be tested to separate the safe from the unsafe. Safe tube wells should be painted green and unsafe ones should be painted red. More tube wells should be set up which are free from arsenic and bacteria. Surface water in pond and river is free from arsenic and so it can be used after a process of treatment. Rain water should be collected for drinking in a bacteria free container.

26.. Bangladeshi Culture

Every nation has a culture of its own. Similarly we have an age old and traditional culture of our own. We have our own. Language, dress, food habit , manner of eating , manner of speaking , mode of behavior, games and sports , social values and customs , religion, profession , music , art , literature etc. which are part and parcel of our culture. Though we have a rich culture of our own, we are going to lose some of our culture. Today we are we don’t like folk songs, Zari, Sari, Bhatiali etc. these songs are going to lose their appeal. Today we are fond of band music, Hindi and English song and music. Western culture has both good and bad effect on our society. Western culture has introduced us with the people, society, education, history and culture of the western word. It helps us to make a comparative study between western civilization and ours and to judge the standard of our culture. It also helps to enrich our civilization by accepting the good things of western civilization.

17. Bird flue

 Bird flue is a serious illness that affects that affects birds, especially chickens, that can be spread from birds to humans and that can cause death. Recently the breaking out of bird flue has taken us aback. We could never think of such kind of problem in our country. However thanks to the almighty that it could not break out in an epidemic form because of the timely intervention of the government and people’s consciousness about the matter. The cause of bird flue in our country could not be detected. It was thought that it might have been carried and spread by the imported chickens from our neighboring countries like Thailand and china-because the breaking out of bird flue in an epidemic form has been seen in china and Thailand. Poultry farming has had a positive effect on the socio-economic condition in our country. It helped many rural poor women to break the chain of poverty and fee better days in their lives. But the recent breaking out of bird flue has shadowed their smiling faces into gloomy ones and clouded their foreheads. It has emptied their fertile farms and turned the firms into barren lands. We have seen the heart-rending cries of the people both male and female. Their caries have pierced our hearts. However, it is heartening that our government has taken all-out efforts to give loans to the people engaged in poultry farming on easy terms to keep their income generating industry on and to bring about better days and see the gloomy faces glowing with beatific smile and keep their heads above all consuming poverty.

28. Childhood memories

The contribution of women to the society is in no way less than that of men. But women in our society have become victims of gender disparity. They are being tortured in different are the working class of women. Women, generally work longer hours than men, but they are paid less than men. It is high time we recognized women as equal partners of men. Everybody especially, the young people should come forward to remove this disparity. The first thing what young people can do is that they should have a clear idea about the gender disparity. They should raise such consciousness among the girls that they can participate in the socio –economic development of the country. They should be made self-sufficient by giving them proper education and employment. They would also make the people realize that the role of women does not come to an end as a mother and a wife. A number of avenues are open before them. In this way the young people can change the traditional attitude of people regarding women.

29. Co-curricular activities

 The true aim of education is the harmonious development of body, mind and soul. But mere bookish knowledge is not enough. Without co-curricular activities the full blooming of body, mind and soul is quite impossible. Co-curricular activities include debate, publication of magazine, cultural activities such as singing, dancing. The fact is that co-curricular activities are part and parcel for the full flourishment of the talents of the students. Co-curricular activities bring out the best and the latent talents of the students. They provide ample opportunity to develop their faculty. Again games and sports are part and parcel of study because without a sound health a student cannot concentrate on his study. We all know the fact that health is wealth. Games and sports pave the way of building sound health. Moreover, co-curricular activities help the students to foster good will. They teach students to be polite, modest, gentle, loyal, diligent and perseverant .they also tightens the bondage of friendship and brotherhood among the students.

It is used to diagnose various diseases. Computer has lessened our load of works and made our life easy and comfortable. It works like a magician. It has saved us from doing a lot of monotonous works. It has become a part and parcel of our modern civilization. We cannot go a single day without it.

31. Corruption

Corruption means dishonest or illegal behavior especially of people in authority present in our country. There is hardly anyone who is not well acquainted with the very word corruption; today each and every government sector of the country is rotten to the core because of the widespread practice of corruption by the people who are at the helm of power, by the officers, by the clerks and so on. The country has topped the list five times from the view point of corruption. There is none to raise voice against the galloping corruption. However there are many reasons behind this galloping corruption and the reasons are not far or seek. Thirst for power, pelf, wealth and money is the root cause of corruption. Greed, avarice and dishonesty, nepotism and favoritisms also contribute to the cause of corruption. The consequence of corruption has a far reaching negative effect on socio-economic growth and baffled the various development programmes. By practicing corruption the corrupt are growing richer and richer and the poor are becoming poorer and poorer. The widespread practice of corruption should not be allowed to go uncontrolled. The corruption people should be brought down with an iron rod. It should be checked , controlled and prevented at any cost so that the country get rid of this national malady and see the ray of hope of development and the people not involved in it can heave a sigh of relief and hope for the best and better days. They should be rewarded with due punishment. Even their wealth and money can be confiscated and they may be meted with lifelong rigorous imprisonment. The mass media, the papers, magazines, journals, articles and above all the consciousness of the enlightened people can play a vital role in curbing the galloping corruption. Proverb goes that example is better than precedence. So they necessary steps and punitive measures against the corrupted society. Last of all the corruption. They should take such an unshaken determination that they would never take resort to corruption

32.Dangers of Smoking

It goes without saying that smoking is a dangerously bad habit. It causes many fatal diseases. It causes cancer, heart attack, chronic bronchitis and some other diseases. One puff of cigarette contains fifteen billion particles of injurious matters. Nicotine is one of them. It prevents the free flow of blood through the veins. This reduces the supply of oxygen in the body. It damages our lungs. People addicted to smoking lose their appetite for food and energy for power. Smoking also pollutes the environments and they are, beside, it causes irritation in the eye, offends the nose and unsettles the mind. Smoking is so dangerous that the stench of cigarate is repulsive to a non-smoker. Moreover, it wastes a lot of money. We are very fortunate that there is no smoker in our family. It is very essential to ban smoking in public places so that smokers cannot do any harm to non-smokers.

33. Deforestation

Deforestation means cutting down trees in large number. The causes of deforestation are many. Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. Its population is much more in proportion to its area. This huge number of population needs more shelter, agricultural land, fuel, furniture etc. for all these reasons people cut trees. Moreover there are some dishonest people who cut trees in our forests to make money. The effects of deforestation are too many to describe. This destruction disturbs our ecological balance. The existences of animals are being threatened. Due to deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide. As a result, the world is becoming warmer. The sea level is rising and many parts of the world are going to be engulfed by the sea in recent future. On the other hand, new areas of the world are turning into deserts as a result of deforestation. The removal if trees cause birds and other animals living on them to leave the place. It also causes serious damage to the soil, as trees give protection to soil as well. In the end, the soil gets sediment in the river bed and causes frequent floods. So, if we destroy trees at random, one day the country will turn into a great desert. All living animals and birds will not find any food or shelter to live in. they will be destroyed. There will animals and birds will not find any food or shelter to live in. they will be destroyed .there will be no rain and as a result our agriculture will face a great crisis. The temperature will rise and it will cause greenhouse effect. The country will be unsuitable for living and various natural calamities like flood, drought, storm etc. will visit our country. Immediate measures should be taken to prevent deforestation. People should be made aware of tree plantation through mass media. Tree plantation programme should be extended throughout the country. Plant more trees campaign must be carried way in this regard. Every man and woman can contribute to this programme by planting at least two trees per head.

34.Digital Bangladesh

 Bangladesh is resounding with the target of achieving Digital Bangladesh. Broadly speaking, a digital society ensures an ICT driven knowledge-based society where information will be readily available on line and where all possible tasks of the government, semi-government and also private spheres will be processed using the modern technology. So, a Digital Bangladesh must guarantee efficient and effective use of modern ICT in all spheres of the society with a view to establishing good governance. In other word, making Bangladesh a digital one, we have to establish technology driven e-governance, e-commerce, e-production, e-agriculture, e-health etc. in the society emphasizing the overall development of the common people. Building strong ICT infrastructure is the pre-requisite for making Bangladesh a digital one. For this, we need to focus on the following relevant issues assessing the harsh reality that hinders our development in this context. Latest statistics reveal that Bangladesh faces a power deficit of up to 2oo mw against a demand of 5000 mw daily. It may be noted that for proper ICT development an uninterrupted power supply is a must. For the CIT development internet users of the country must be increased. In this case our position is the worst one among the south Asian countries. Form different sources, It has been learnt that, English literacy rate in Bangladesh is less than one percent. Whereas, English literacy rates in India and Pakistan are 60% 20% respectively, there is a strong correlation between English literacy and ICT development in the present context of globalization. In the arena of ICT English has become the lingua-franca. Though the above accounts seem to be frustration one , these can be easily overcome within a reasonable span of time if we can establish good governance the above stated issues effective and efficiently is transparent manners. In many cases we need to reformulate our national policy (e.g. education policy. ICT policy) in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals. If the leaders of our country objectively guide this generation, they can do wonder for the notion.

35. Dowry

Dowry means property or money brought by a bride to her husband when they marry. Usually in our society female children are considered inferior to male children. They are thought to be of no use to the family. So, during marriage ceremony a section of greedy people claim much wealth or money from the guardians of the brides. The poor and illiterate girls mainly become the victims of dowry.  If the guardians fail to fulfill the demand of their bridegroom, they misbehave with their wives and sometimes torture them seriously. As a result many of them get divorced or commit suicide or are killed by their husbands. This system has affected our whole society. At present a father cannot think of the marriage of his daughter without giving dowry to the bridegroom. I am dead against this evil system of the society. This evil system should be uprooted from the society immediately. This social curse can be eliminated by changing the outlook of the people especially the male members of the society and by taking strict legal measures against the persons who take dowry.

36. Drug addiction

Drug addiction is now a global problem. This social cancer has spread its poisonous claw all over the world. Frustration is the cause of this addiction. Unemployment problem, political cataclysm, lack of family ties, lack of love affection etc. give rise to frustration. Again this addiction gives rise to social crimes. When the addicted cannot afford to buy drugs, they commit many kinds of social crimes like hijacking, looting, plundering killing; robbery etc. drugs bear a terrible effect on human body of a drug addict. Drug addicted people feel drowsy, lose appetite and sleep. The skin of their bodies begins to change its colour. Drug also damages the brain and all internal function of the body. However this curse should not be allowed to go on unchecked. At any cost we must get rid of this social cancer by highlighting its dangerous effect on human body and society. The remedy for drug addiction is not very easy. Greed of drug traders has grasped the whole world. Drug business is punishable and the highest punishment is death sentence in Bangladesh. This law must be enforced immediately. Our young generation must be aware of the dire consequence of drug abuse. Parents must careful to their treatment to children. Feelings of security under loving parents may hinder children from being victims of drugs. Religious and social values must be taught from early childhood. When each and every person is sincere to drive this curse of drug addiction from the society, human beings can get rid of it.

37. Early rising

There is a proverb early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. So is needless to say that early rising is a good habit. It is beneficial to health. In the morning nature remains fresh and quiet. So an early the beauty health of nature. One who gets up early in the morning can finish his work in proper time. He can get much time for accomplishing his tasks. An early riser takes his exercise regularly and enjoys a healthy and happy life. Taking exercise improves his health and increases his ability. Early rising refreshes both our body and mind. The habit of early rising helps a man to be regular and punctual. I like benefits of early rising and I get up early in the morning.

38.English an international language

When a language is used and spoken by nations or by people around the world, it gets the status of an international language. For various reasons English has become an international language. For various reasons English has become an international language. When people of two different languages meet and need to talk or exchange ideas or information, they need a third or common language that is understood by both the partied. English, due to its global use, serves this communicative purpose well. So to communicate with speakers of other languages, we need to learn English. Besides, English is an official and semi-official language in more than 60 countries in the world. Multinational companies use English in their correspondence and or business purpose. Books on any subject and also any formation are available in English. So, for business higher education, or a good job we need to learn English. Grammar helps us learn a language. It gives us knowledge about the form and structure of a language it works. But grammar is not a must in learning English. We can develop our skill in English by reading English books extensively. English ‘text Book’ can help us learn English to a great extant. So, we should read more and more English text books to learn English well.

39.Environment

 The environment refers to the air, water and land in which people, animals, and plants live. So human beings, animals, plants, air, water and soil are the main elements of the environment. The world is producing millions of tons of domestic rubbish and toxic industrial waste each year, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable locations to get rid of all the refuse. The disposal of various kinds of waste is seriously polluting the environment. Humans, animals and plants are all important elements of the natural environment. But humans are cruelly destroying plants and animals and thereby creating a danger for us all. The destruction of forests and other habitats is causing the extinction of various plants and animals every day. These losses are particularly severe in the areas of tropical forests which cover only 7% of the surface of the globe, but which provide the living space for between 50% and 80% of all our wildlife. Many wild animals and birds such as pandas, bears, tigers, alligators, whales, wolves, eagles, falcons, kites and buzzards are faced with the threat of extinction today. Their decline has been and above all by the widespread use of chemicals and pesticides which enter their food chains leading to sterility and mass deaths. Hunting of birds and animals is another cause of their extinction. Men kill birds for food and feathers, hunt big cats to make fur coats and slaughter alligators and other reptiles for shoes and bags. In addition, whale –hunting has also drastically reduced the number of blue whales in the Atlantic Ocean. We know that all species are important for maintaining ecological balance. If one is lost, the whole natural environment changes. In order to protect the environment from being spoilt, we should therefore protect our wildlife. The good news is that many countries are now taking action to protect their endangered wildlife

40. Environment pollution

Nowadays environment pollution is one of one of the most talked of topics of the world. Our environment is polluted in two ways –air pollution and water pollution. Air is polluted in many ways. Smoke pollutes air; man makes fire to cook his food, to make bricks, melts pitch for road construction and burns wood. All these things produce heavy smoke and this smoke pollutes air. Railway engines, mills and factories and power houses use coal and oil. Buses, trucks and cars use petrol and diesel. Again all these things cause air pollution. Water is polluted in many ways. Farmers use chemical fertilizers and insecticide in their lands to grow more food. The rain and floods wash away some of the chemicals. They get mixed with canal water and river water. Mills and factories pollute water by throwing the waste materials and unsold products into the rivers and canals. Steamers, launches and even sail boats pollute water by throwing oil, food waste and human waste into the big canals and rivers. Unsanitary latrines in the countryside standing on the banks of the rivers and canals also pollute water. Thus air and water are polluted and as a result our environment gets polluted. Water pollution can be prevented in many ways. First of all we should make the people aware of the fact that water is next to air. It is called life. So chemical fertilizer and pesticide should not be allowed to mix with river water, canal water and pond water mills and factories should not throw the waste materials and unsold products into rivers and canals. Steamers, motor launches and even sail boats should not throw oil, food waste and human waste into the rivers and canals. In fine awareness necessary measures and creating public awareness.

41. Female Education

It is true that women have many special tasks in life and their spheres of duties are different from those of men. But we should remember that these tasks also need training and education. Unless women get proper education, all their prospective faculties get crippled. It is only by imparting proper education to them that we can expect them to discharge the duties nicely and decently. Education of children depends a great deal upon mother. Childhood is the most impressionable stage and anything good or bad, thought to child makes a great influence on his mind. Cannot have educated and ideal citizens when the mothers themselves are foolish and ignorant. Every woman is a potential mother. The future of a child depends on how it is brought up and educated in childhood. An educated mother is naturally expected to bring up and educate her children butter than an uneducated mother.

42.First day at school

To start first schooling at an institution stirs everybody’s mind. It is a very important event in the life of a child. First day at school is a new experience to anyone. Because, a student can know new things, people and the place. In the school one can find few known faces. Here in this context we can describe Anwar’s first day at school. He went to nurpur high school with his father. He got nervous firstly. The headmaster also told other teachers to help him, he entered the class. The teacher introduced him. They accepted him cordially; they became friendly as the curtain lifted. After the class. He wrote down ten names to remember there. He was to feel worried .the teachers also encouraged him. Thereafter, the place became friendly to him.

43. Gardening

Gardening is a pleasant occupation and a good pastime. It is an expression of refreshment and taste. It is an embodiment of men’s love for trees and plants of nature. There are many kings of gardening. There are flower garden, kitchen gardens, fruit gardens, botanical gardens etc. each of them acts a very important role. To work in a garden and spend sometimes among green plants and trees and beautiful flowers is like spending sometimes with nature. When a man sees the garden full of various flowers, vegetables, fruits etc.  His heart leaps up with joy. It makes his body strong. It helps him to forget sorrows and sufferings. It relieves him from the monotony of the routine works. Then he can give full attention to his daily works. After all, to a votary gardening is a source of health, wealth and pleasure.

44. Gender discrimination

Gender discrimination in Bangladesh begins at birth. In our country women are the worst sufferers. Social prejudices and customs tend to degrade their position. When a female child is born. It is not regarded as a happy event. She is not welcomed with the deep warmth of heart. Instead of being delighted the male members think that she has come to add to their misery. Even the mother of the female child is not welcomed cordially for giving birth a female child. Rather she is held in great contempt. Obviously there are many reasons behind this social superstition. First of all she is regarded as a liability to be got rid of as soon as possible, her marriage drives her parents mad for our evil dowry system. Her parents try to find a husband for her even before she attains physical and mental maturity. Her marriage may cost her parents a heavy amount of money. Religious misinterpretation and social structures discourage often prevent girls from going to co-education schools this problem cannot be solved overnight. To solve this problem our outlook towards the girls should be made self-sufficient by giving them proper education and employment. They should be provided the same type of food as are given to male children. Early marriage should be stopped.

45. Globalization

Globalization has become a buzzword in the new era of international relations. Basically, it is process of expanding trade and commerce all over the world by creating a borderless market. But it has had a far reaching effect on many aspects of life. With the development of sophisticated communications media, rapid technological progress, and rapid transportation facilities, the world has come closer. We can now learn in an instant what is happening in the farthest corner of the world and travel to any country in the shortest possible time. Countries of the world are like families in a village. They can even share their joys and sorrows like next-door neighbours. Though one country is in distress, others can immediately come to its assistance. If we can build up an atmosphere of mutual understanding and co-operation through this globalization has its demerits too. The gap between wealth and poverty is ever widening. Globalization has its demerits too. The gap between wealth and poverty is ever widening. Globalization has put the people of the world on the same vessel but in different cabins. Only a trifling minority are travelling in luxurious cabins furnished with all modern amenities. They access to nutritious food, pure drinking water, sophisticated Medicare and a life of luxury. But the overwhelming majority is travelling in the third class decks and is suffering from hunger and disease. Globalization can bring happiness to everyone only when all passengers of the ship can travel in the same class of conditions of solidarity equity and justice.

46. Global warming

In recent years, there have been many alarming reports that the world’s climate is undergoing a significant change. All these reports provide strong evidence that world temperatures are increasing day by day. This increase is known as global warming caused by increased amounts of carbon dioxide around the earth. Most climatologists believe that the greenhouse effect is the most likely cause of this global warming. Climatologists predict that by midway through the next century temperatures may have risen by as much as 4 degree c. this could catastrophically reduce mankind’s ability to grow food , destroy or severally damage wildlife and wilderness, raise sea levels and there by flood coastal areas and farmland. The alarming news about Bangladesh is that as a result of the rise of the sea level the lower southern part of the country may one day go under water. The main culprits for global warming are carbon dioxide gas, produced by the burning of fossil fuels and forests and being careful and raising public awareness.

47. Good governance

Good governance means good rule. It is a pre-requisite for all kinds of developments of our country. A country cannot reach its cherished goals, achieve its success and solve its multi- furious problems for want of good governance. It is a must for any nation –any country. It helps the full flourishment of a country. It helps a country to go forward with its development programmes. It contributes most to the all-round development of a country. Good governance depends on some factors. The factors are enlightened people, practice of true ideal of democracy, transparency, and accountability, a gook electoral system, honesty etc. First of all the people who will be at the helm of power must be enlightened. They must be free from any kind of evil. They must be true democrats. They will cultivate the ideal of democracy. They must keep in mind that they are working for the welfare of the country and the countrymen. The state administration system should be transparent so that even governance cannot be thought of without accountability. The enlightened people who will be entrusted with the onerous duty of running the administration of the country must be responsible to account to the people for their activities. In this way there are many factors which shape and design to form good governance for the welfare of a country and its countrymen

48. Good health

Good health means soundness of body and mind. It keeps one fit and free from diseases. By observing certain rules, one can keep good health. One is to take a balanced diet, drink pure water , take regular exercise and rest etc. he is also to observe the rules of cleanliness. Since most of the people of our country live below the level, they do not get the food they need for good health. Even the rich and the educated people are not conscious of the rules of good health. They do not take a balanced diet because they think that costly food means a nutritive food. As a result most of the people of our country like frustration, hopelessness etc. but only taking a balanced diet are not enough to keep goop good health. The person who is ambitious and runs after wealth cannot maintain a good health. By keeping simple and care free life one can lead a peaceful life.

49. Hartal

In modern strife torn state Hartal has become a common affair. It is observed at the call of a political party or parties to press their demand to protest against the corruption, misuse of power and the evil deeds of the ruling party. Sometimes students and people of a locality call Hartal to express their demands. On a Hartal day normal course of life is stopped. All means of transport and vehicles do not move on the reads. People are to take a lot of troubles to attend their offices. They go on foot as vehicles are not available. As a result the attendance is very negligible in the offices, factories, industries and shops. The economy of the country suffers a heavy loss. Mills, factories and industries stop their work. All the business centres, markets and shops remain closed. The supporters in favour of Hartal bring our procession. Often clashes occur between the police and the picketers. Sometimes clashes take place between the supporters of the opposition and the ruling political parties which result in some deaths. One a Hartal day the sufferings of the people know no bound.

50.Illiteracy

Illiteracy means inability to read and write. It is the root cause of ignorance which frustrates all development efforts of the government and the community. Eradication of illiteracy in a country like Bangladesh with so vast a population is undoubtedly a gigantic task. It is the social responsibility of all the literate people, men and women, to make some concerted efforts to remove illiteracy from society. The government of Bangladesh has already undertaken some important programmes in this regard. To provide primary education for at least 70 per cent of the children of sex to ten years of age by the end of 1990, the government has launched a programme called the universal primary education (UPE) project. There is another educational programme in which each primary school in a community is to be regarded as a community learning centre (CLE). The objective is to involve increasingly the parents and the members of the community in the educational activities of the school. The adults and the out-of –school youths will come to the school in the afternoon of in the evening after their vocations. The mass media, especially radio, TV and newspapers can play a vital role in making the people more conscious of the importance of literacy in the life of a nation. They can broadcast and publish regular features on various aspects of basic education, adult education and mass literacy.

51.Importance of Education

Education in the process by which our mind develops through formal learning at an institution like a school, collage, or university. It is mental and intellectual training which provides opportunities of growth and helps to overcome obstacles to progress. Therefore, it is often compared to light which removes the darkness of ignorance and helps us distinguish between right and wrong. The prophet Mohammed (SM) equated one literate non-believer with ten illiterate believers. The task of education is to create a complete citizen, physically, mentally and morally, and prepare him for a profession whereby he could earn his own livelihood and contribute to the society. Education is one of the most important social phenomenon’s which make sure that the individual is prepared from an early age to acquire values, knowledge and practical skills within a particular culture. Uneducated people can’t keep pace with the advanced countries. They don’t know the modern advanced technology. In every sphere of their life, they follow old methods and systems. They have no sense of right and wrong. They aren’t aware of their responsibilities. Their outlook on life is very narrow. They don’t know how to lead a decent life. Illiteracy is a curse because illiteracy is hindrance to our development programme. It baffles all our concerted effort for development. Thus, illiteracy retards the way of development. It is education which teaches a man to fight against all the problems of life. If all the people become educated, they will be able to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way to development. By receiving true education we all can build a happy, peaceful and prosperous future.

52.Importance of Trees.

Since the dawn of civilization man has a close relation with nature. Man has made friendship with our life. They are our friends. Trees play an important role in our life and to plant trees. Sea beaches and low-lying lands can be used for tree plantation. There are many roads and highways in our country; we can plant trees on the both sides of these roads and highways. The sides and areas that are lying unused can be used, too. June and July are the best time for tree plantation. Tree plantation programme should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. Attempts should be made to make the illiterate aware of the importance of trees. Trees are our best friends. They are a great source of food and vitamins. As a result people can keep their body fit and sound by taking fruits. Again we export fruits to many other countries and earn a lot of foreign exchange. Trees are our constant companies in our day to day life. We use them for various purposes. We cannot think of our Homes, Houses. Residences etc. without trees. Trees bear a great impact on the climate. If we destroy trees at random one day the country will turn into a great desert. Again there will be no rain and as a result the country will face a great crisis because ours is an agricultural country and our economy is dependent on agriculture. Again our agriculture is dependent on rain. So trees play a vital role on our climate. Trees keep the soil strong. Trees save us from flood and many other natural calamities. It is needless to speak of the importance of trees. It is not possible to describe the importance and uses of trees in words. They are part and parcel in our day to day life. We cannot think of our existence without them. Rabindranath says back they forest, take your town, our government has also launched a massive and ambitious programme regarding tree plantation, we should not use and destroy trees at random. Rather we should plant trees more and more for a better, happier and healthier life.

53. The 16^th December

The 16^th December is a red letter day in the history of Bangladesh. On this day we achieved victory at the cost of a bloody battle and Bangladesh came into being and occupied a place in the world map as an independent county.

This victory symbolizes victory against injustice tyranny and falsehood. This day will remain ever fresh and ever green in the heart of each and every Bengali.

54.International women’s day

Women are the worst suffers. Disparity between man and women is going on. It begins at their birth. It is thought that girls are seen engaged in heavy physical labour. They do not get the right food. They are totally denied the opportunities of education. They are deprived of economic, social, political and educational rights. In a word they are deprived of all human basic rights. So women all over the world got united and formed an international women organization to realize all their due rights. Firstly common women fought for equal rights. Then women of all spheres came out and joined the organization to enhance the movement for realizing their equal right in all walks of life. March is the international women’s day.  This day is observed by women‘s groups around the world. It is an important occasion everywhere in the world. This day is a national holiday in many countries of the world. The U.N.O also observes the day .women of all contients is often divided by national boundaries. They are also divided by ethnic, linguistically, cultural, religious, economic and political differences. Hence they come together to celebrate their day. The day represents their struggle for equality, justice, peace and development. The international women’s day is the story of ordinary women who have fought for equal rights.

55.Internet

 Internet is the latest discovery of science and the greatest advancement in the field of communication. It is the computerized process with telephone set. To get internet connection, it requires a modern telephone line and a maintained by its own number. There are two types of internet. They are on-line internet and off-line internet.

It has widened our knowledge and made us more thirsty for the unknown. It is a miracle. It works like Aladdin’s magic lamp.

56. Mobile phone

Mobile phone is one of the wonderful wonders of sciences. It has added a new dimension to our life and to communication system. It is a telephone system that works without any wire. It can be moved easily and quickly from place to place. Through mobile phone, we can send massages to distant places, play games and sports, know about time, solve the work of calculation, and are aware of different kinds of news and views. At present the popularity of the mobile phone is increasing. Many companies are also being set up for selling mobile phone. The price of mobile phone is also decreasing in comparison with; the past. People are being encouraged to buy a mobile-phone set at a cheaper rate. However with the touch of science and technology, the whole world seems to be a global village. In very single moments, we can communicate with the people living in a very distant place. With all its advantages, the mobile phone has still some drawbacks in disguise. Though the price of it is decreasing, per minute bill is not decreasing. So everybody cannot possess it. Scientists have recently discovered that mobile phone can cause cancer to the users.

There are various ways that should be followed to stop the high birth rate. Each and every family should live in a planned way. Early marriage should be banned. No family should be allowed to have more than two children. Our womenfolk should be educated so that they can know how to lead a happy, healthy and peaceful life.

 Television channels broadcast by the use of satellite is called satellite TV channels. There is no unmixed blessing on earth. Everything has its dark side. Despite the dark side of the programmes of satellite TV, it is beneficial. Some channels cause cultural decay and moral degradation by telecasting obscene and violent movies, music, dance and song. Young people most often watch the exciting films on violence and crime. They also see the obscene films. All these things leave a damaging effect soft mind. If once bad things lay root deeply in their soft mind, it will remain in their mind. We can enrich and foster our national culture by telecasting programmes enriched with our own age old traditional social values instead of frequent telecast of satellite cultural programmes. We should try to imitate what is good in satellite culture and give up what is bad there.

His can to recollect the memories of his parents, brothers sisters and his native village. He cannot go to school for poverty. So he is deprived of the light of education. Sometimes he has to bear physical punishment. In fact he is deprived of all sorts of a child right. It is an irony of fate. We have forgotten that today’s child is tomorrow’s future.
