While at home he repairs his boats or nets and he paints his boats or dyes his nets. He catches fish in the seas, rivers, and beels. His women-folk make new nets; his children dry fishes in the sun and sell them in the market. He works hard all day and night. The life of a fisherman is very risky and challenging because there may have storms and cyclones at any time. Some fishermen go to fish at night; some go to fish in the deep water or in the sea from home for many days. When he catches a lot of fish,his joy knows no bounds. After all a fisherman does much good to us by supplying fishes.In spite of being hard working he can hardly make both ends meet.

They prevent soil erosion, air pollution and floods. They also effectively prevent the spread of the desert and landslides. They are essential to maintain ecological balance and preservation of fauna. We all should plant and grow more and more trees and protect them. Social forestry should be taken on a large scale and trees should be grown all around where in space. Trees add to the beauty and quality of our life and living.

My home is a one storied building consisting of five rooms. It is situated under the shade of the trees. It stands in the midst of beauties of nature. The green trees also surround it. My home is not only airy but also well lighted. So, even in the midst of scorching heat it remains cools and comfortable. There is small flower garden in front of my home. I spend leisure hours there. My home faces the south. Open fresh gentle breeze is flowing through the open window of my home. After the toils of the day, I get exhausted and grow mad to get back home. My home is a sort of fascination to me. Staying away from home for few days I feel homesick.

Every student has to study in different institutions in different spheres of life. Accordingly I left my school for higher studies. Before leaving school, I want to recall some events concerning my school. My last day at school is a memorable day to me. The students of our school bade us farewell on this day. The hall room was nicely decorated. Separate arrangement was made for us to sit. Our respected teachers took their seat on this dais. One of our teachers called out our names. We went up the dais one by one and the students gave us flowers and the headmaster gave the copy of “YOU WILL WIN” By Shib Kahake. With the gift we took our seats. Students delivered their short speech and begged forgiveness for our misdeed if any. Our teachers gave us valuable advice. The function being over, we were entertained with refreshment. Then left the school compound. Standing on the road I looked back home with a heavy heart

The Green House Effect

Green house effect means gradual warming of the earth’s atmosphere. If the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere continues to increase at the present rate then the green house effect rises in the earth. The global warming is caused by the accumulation of certain gases, the carbon di-oxide, CFC Methane and Nitric Acid around the world. The presence of these gases to a large degree is making the ozone layer of the earth’s atmosphere thinner day by day. At this, the ultra violet ray of the sun can easily penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. The increasing numbers of engine vehicles are increasing Carbon di oxide gas, which is making hole in the Ozone Layer. There will be a dramatic change in the climate and topography of the earth. This will reduce our ability to grow food and severely damage wild life, raise sea levels and thereby submerge the costal areas. There will be drought through out the world. Many creatures will be on the verge of extinction. Modern science is helping us to keep peace with congenial atmosphere. We must follow the guidelines to create better environment and save life on this beautiful planet.

A Winter Morning

A winter morning is a time when it falls cold and gets biting cold. This morning is very beneficial to the protection and preservation of man’s health. The mists gather in drops upon the leaves of trees or the blades of grass. They look like pearls as they glitter in the rays of the morning sun. A winter morning is sometimes heinous to the poor, as they have nothing to wear for protecting biting cold. Winter morning is a curse for old and poor people and they are obedient to bask in the sun in this morning. A winter morning presents us different sights of including basking, getting sunlight to warm body and what not. Village children hardly have warm clothes. So they make fire with straw, sit around and enjoy the heat. Apart from this, a winter morning presents us sweet, juice of the date, fresh vegetables and fresh natural foods. People who have morning work get up early in the morning, as they are interested to enjoy morning best on the bed in the lap of warm cloths and wrapper. Really the diversity that we observe in the winter morning sometimes stirs us or sometimes elates us.

A Street Beggar

A School Library.

A library is a building or room where huge numbers of books of various kinds are kept for the readers who come to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. Newspapers etc are kept for people to read, study or borrow. We have a large and spacious library in our school. It is well furnished having a lot of tables and benches to study. In our

schoollibrary the books in our library are organized into categories of classes and then arranged alphabetically within this class. Each category is assigned its own special number within that numbers and every book in the category is assigned its own special number within that number range. The textbooks and reference books the students can make note sitting in the peaceful and quite atmosphere of the library. They can also take the reference book in their home being the member of the library. I think our school, library helps us a lot to acquire knowledge vastly and to broaden our outlook. So it is our duty to go to the library regularly.

A Railway Station.

A railway station is place where trains stop for the passengers to get into and get off from the train. It is a busy place. It becomes very busy because of the arrival of trains. Here the passengers are found to stand in a queue to collect their tickets in front of the ticket counter. A big station is always crowded with passengers, hawkers, and posters. There are bookstalls, book-sellers and waiting rooms in such a stations. Vendors shout their trade cries. When a train reaches at the station, the passengers hurry to get off from the train. At the same time passengers waiting for the train want to get into the train. As a result, a collision of two groups of passengers takes place. The whistling sound of the departing train creates a situation of vacuum in the minds of the passengers. When the train leaves the station, it becomes deserted and buzzing sound of the passengers ends. A railway station is often a den for the anti-social elements. It is a suitable place for the beggars to carry on their trade. It is an unhygienic place too. The authority should look into it.

A Moonlit Night

A moonlit night in which the full noon shines in its entire glory in the sky is called a moonlit night. It is really a night of dream and enjoyment. In the autumn the sky remains cloudless and the moon looks like a big silver disc in the sky. The silvery light of the moon floods the earth and the sky. The moon’s rays reflecting on seas, rivers, ponds and hills create a music spell. When the moon pours her light on the waves of water, it sparkles like a diamond. The smooth rays of the moon please our eyes and mind. The natural beauty of a moonlit night can better be realized than described. People feel great joy. Children play and run about. Men and women go from one house to another. Women can make their babies sleep singing the songs of stars and moon. Lower animals take the moonlit for day and start roaming about. It seems that the whole nature has taken a new form and everywhere is bright, bright and bright. A moonlit night spreads a feeling of joy in all objects of nature. In addition, we forget our animosity with others. We make a congregation and chat in different subjects with others. The moonlit night reminds us the mystery of creation of Allah. We can evaluate the moonlit night as offering a charming sight to all living beings.

The sky is overcast with patches of black clouds and the sun remains hidden behind them. The weather is foul. The sun is not seen. Sometimes, gusty wind blows with rain. Rivers, canals and tanks swell up. Roads and paths get muddy and slippery. Water stands here and there. Normal life is disrupted due to heavy rain. One does not generally come out without compulsion. The common people cannot attend their respective places in time. If anybody wants to go outside, he has to take an umbrella with him. The poor and the day laborers do not like a rainy day. They cannot go out to earn their living. Their suffering know no bounds. They go on starving. A rainy day is most welcomed to the students, as they have no classes in the school. A rainy day brings joyous mood to the young boys of the same age and they are seen to bathe in rainwater with merriment. People pass the boy in listening to music, watching videocassettes, reading novels. Those who have imaginary bent of mind enjoy the beauty of nature being drenched in rains. The cloudy sky lets loose their emotions. A rainy day has good effect on the soil. It helps plants grow, flowers bloom and nature looks fresh and beautiful. However, a rainy day is welcomed after the baking heat of summer.

May day /A Mournful Day

May day refers to a sad incident that took place in the month of May in 1886 in the American city of Chicago. May day means first May of the year, which is recognized as the international workers who laid down their lives for the interest of the workers in Chicago in May 1886. The history is that during those days the working people were suffering from over work. From the beginning of the industrial Revolution people in factories have worked very long, shifts lasting up to fourteen or even more hours a day. They could not protest for fear of losing job. However, they protested against the injustice done to them. And on May 3,1886 police fired into a protestant crowed in Chicago. The street of Chicago were smeared with the warm blood of workers. Many people were injured and one died.  All the privilege workers enjoy to day such as a minimum wage, safety laws and eight-hours workday were the outcome of the sacrifices of the workers on May3,1886. These are the rights they have achieved by their struggle. This day reminds the working class people that the workers will continue to be exploited until they stand up and speak and speak out to gain much better working condition, better pay and standard of life. On this day the working classes of the world become united irrespective of castes, creeds and nationalities. This is the glory as well as sorrow. So black flags are flown atop the offices and black badges are worn by the workers to symbolize their heartfelt grief for their fellow workers. Thus May Day has been a symbol of unity for the workers all over the world.

Environment Pollution

All the ingredients that we have around us are jointly known as environment. Environment pollution implies the contamination of the surroundings. Any abnormal change of environment in chemical, physical and biological characteristics in environment is called environment pollution. Environment is the whole system of our existence. Our environment is becoming polluted everyday for several reasons. Human beings mainly pollute environment. Massive industrialization is an important cause of environment. Smoke from motor vehicles also pollutes environment. Serious environment pollution occurs in big cities because buses, trucks and cars play in the streets everyday and emit smoke. Mills and factories also pollute water. They throw their waste products into rivers and canals. By burning wood and melting pitch for road construction people make more smoke and pollute air. We use pesticide in our crop fields. It also pollutes our environment. Indiscriminate cutting of trees has also turned unbalanced environment. The ecological balance is being lost as a result of environment pollution. If we all desire to live a healthy and tranquillized life, we should make our environment clean and free from pollution. We should be all whole-heartedly in keeping our environment fit for habitation.   

Internet

Internet is a computerized network of information. It is the greatest invention in the communication system. It is the worldwide network of computer. Its uses and functions are smooth, easy and rapid. A students who knows just the keys of computer, can communicate anywhere he wishes. Internet communication is now the latest communication in the world. A computer and a telephone connection are required to get an Internet connection. There are two types of Internet such as Dial up and Broad Band. Internet has great usefulness. To get appropriate information a person has to communicate in the appropriate address. One can also go to a search engine like Yahoo, Goggle for finding particular page or a piece of information. A search engine is a system through which you can search for information on Web pages containing that information. By using Internet students can go through several books from the libraries without going there. They can seek information regarding admission to different foreign universities. But it is a matter to sorrow that many people of Bangladesh do not have still access to Internet because it is still costly and not easily available.

Traffic Jam

Traffic jam is a situation in where vehicles cannot move freely and traffic comes to a standstill. It occurs almost all the district towns where a lot of vehicles play everyday. Especially it occurs near bus stand, railway crossing, turn of a road, at the junction of various roads or near a market. It occurs mainly in the morning and afternoon on working days when everyday body tries to attend office in short time or returns home as early as possible. The indiscriminate playing of vehicles like rickshaws, bus, scroters etc and haphazard parking of vehicles and small shops in the footpaths are the main reason of traffic jam. Traffic jam causes untold sufferings to people. Students cannot reach schools in time. It kills our time and lessons our working hours. It causes great sufferings to the ambulance carrying dying patients and the fire brigade vehicles. The increasing of traffic jam hampers our economy. So well spacious roads should be constructed. One-way movement of vehicles should be introduced. The driver should be trained in order to cope with the other developed nations. After doing all these things we can hope to have a good traffic system for our easy and comfortable movement

When my parents declared the news of my schooling, I became very much excited and started leaping and dancing in great joy. Then the expected day came. I went to every member of our family and received blessings from all. I was in a very happy and cheerful mood. I went to school for the first time when I was only seven years old. My father took me to school for the first time. I was little nervous at the beginning. I remember it well. I was then a little boy. I was very interested in going to school with riding rickshaw accompanied by my father. First I met with Headmaster at school. My heart beat fast. But this smiling face and gentle words put me at ease.  He asked me my name. I answered politely. The headmaster was very pleased with my response. When I was sent to class. My class teacher took me to the classroom and introduced to my classmates. I met with the teachers and students who behaved well with me. My classmates were very much friendly and soon they accepted me as one of their bosom friend. They received me very cordially and made friendship with me, within a short time. The school broke up at 2 pm. My father again came and took me home. I left the school with a cheerful mind. That day was very remarkable in my life.

4 NO Pains, No gain.

All of us in this world want to success in life. But success for many of us is a remote cry. The main reason is that many people do not want to take risks. But life is not a bed of roses. It is full of struggle, and consequent troubles and difficulties. These are to be overcome if we mean to be successful. In our attempt to face the difficulties we may meet failure. But that should not make us give up in despair We should instead, regard the initial failures and sufferings as the price of ultimate success. We should think of the daring of the discoverers and explorers of lands and the suffering they had to bear before success came to them. Where would we have got pearls from if divers had not ventured into the dangers under the sea? A general who is afraid of taking risks can never win any victory. Similarly, a person who is afraid of taking risks can`t win success in the straggle of life. But we be cautious at the same time we must not be rash or hasty. It is because hasty action is like taking a leap in the dark that generally ends In disaster.

3 PROSPERITY In Need Is A Friend Indeed.

Man is a social being . He lives in a society . So he wants persons and friends with whom  he can mix and  freely , exchanging thought and ideas, hopes and fears. But everybody with whom we mix and converse in not a friends in the true sense of the term. Some gather round us only is our prosperity for their self-interest . But whenever we are in trouble or difficulty, they desert us altogether. They are false friends and should be avoided by all means .The test of real friends comes only in misfortune. We may be taking to evil ways; a true friend will then try his best to correct us. Strong in his power of love, he will not hesitate even to rebuke us as strongly as elder brother.  But when we get into actual misfortune by disregarding his advice and rebuke, he will not desert us. He will , on the contrary, freely give us his advice and sympathy. He will not consider sacrifice too great to pull us out.

LOOK Before YOU LEAP

2 LOOK Before YOU LEAP 

The implication of this proverb is not only an advice but a warning against taking any sort of rash decision and action. There are some people who are very impulsive  by nature. They work on the spur of moment without any consideration what may happen next. This is highly improper and results in failure and sufferings. A general, before he attacks the enemy, makes thorough enquirers about the strength and position of latter and compares them with his own. Failure to do this sure to result in defeat and may even end in disaster. Similar before we begin a house we think carefully about the cost and about where the materials are to be got from. Even if , we succeed in a work , this success will be worse than failure if it produces undesirable consequences. Far from finding joy in it, we shall regret it deeply. So, before we act we should carefully consider everything about the action.We must always remember that hasty action is taking a leap in the dark that generally defeats our desire.
