Morning Walk

There are many things in life that require one’s undivided attention, which we seem to completely ignore. A great walk in the morning is one of these. There are many ways we could possibly benefit from an exercise as simple as morning walk. When we go to morning walk we find an exquisite environment where there is no crowd, no sound pollution, only we get fresh air. But some pickpockets or snatchers gather there in that moment to harm a pedestrian especially doing morning walk. Up front, in today’s irritatingly fast world, we deprive ourselves of the much needed oxygen that is anyways getting depleted with time. The earliest hours in the morning would probably give us this and the quality time to spend with the greenery around us and observe around us things that only perhaps writers and poets around us seem to notice. The oxygen that we get earliest in the morning also gives great amount of energy especially to our joints. The movement in our legs releases the good cholesterol in our blood, opening up some of the "chakras" or channels of energy, constantly moving our joints and increasing our blood circulation in a way that can only be completed with our daily morning walk. A naturally available medicine, our morning walk also allows us to get rid of any gastric blockages that might not allow us to get a sound sleep, and also adding to the excesses of pain to your body. Most diabetics have noticed a remarkable decline in their blood sugar levels, thanks to their regular promenades, especially the one taken earliest in the morning. Without hesitation it can be said that morning walk is one of the important matters in our life.

How To Become A Good Student

A student who is hard-working in his study and keen on learning and able to make a good result maybe considered a good student. A good student should possess many good qualities. First of all, he should have the eagerness to learn knowledge and should study regularly. Every student is meritorious and intelligent more or less, but he gains success as a good student who has the quality to study regularly for several hours every day. A good student should have the capability to comprehend his subjects. He should not only memorize his lessons but also try to understand the inner meaning of those. A good student should not be bookish. Rather he should try to learn everything around him. He must have the eagerness about the happenings of his surroundings and the world also. But only having knowledge is not enough. A good student should have honesty, integrity because all these qualities make a man a glaring example to other members of the society.

The School Library

It is housed in separate two-storied building. The books are arranged in different shelves according subjects. All books are organised into categories or classes and then arranged alphabetically within this class. Each category is assigned a range of numbers and every book in the category is assigned its own special number within that number range. The text books and reference books are kept in another place of the library in the same order mentioned above. There is ‍a reading room the environment of which is silent. The librarian is highly qualified and he has an assistant to help not only the librarian but also the students. We are issued library cards without which none can borrow books form the library. We are to return the borrowed books after two weeks. Besides books, there are newspapers, magazines and books of general knowledge. It is really ‍a very important part of our school to broaden the outlook of the students, serve the teachers to be prepared for the classes. I am really proud to have such ‍a library in our school.

My first day at school

My first day at school is an important and memorable day of my life, which I can remember clearly. I thought of reading at a school from my very childhood. On that day, when my father took me to it opened up before me a new vision of life. I felt that my life suddenly became reliable and respectable. I was attracted by the magnificent building. My joy was beyond words. But a large number of unknown faces made me feel secured. When my father of look me to the Head master’s room, my heart beat fast. But his smiling face and gentle words put me at easy. He asked me my name and I told him. Then he pointed to a letter chart and asked me to say some letters. I could say them all. The Headmaster than called a teach and tell him to take me to my classroom. I entered the classroom. It was a big and broad room. The teacher welcomed me and gave me a seat in the class room. I was fascinated by the learned and lucid (pure) lectures of the teachers. I enjoyed all the lectures. Besides this my classmates received me warmly that makes me happy. My first day at school was a day of discovery- I might say- discovery of my own self as well. I felt myself important. I came back home that afternoon rich with insight and experience.

Your Daily life

I got up from bed early in the morning. Then I ease myself, cleanse my teeth, make ablution and go to the mosque to say my morning prayer. Thereafter, I go out for a walk in the morning breeze. On return, I set, about learning my lessons after taking tea and work in my study up to 9 am. Then I leave my books, have my bath, take my meals and start for school at 10 am. The school sits at 10.30 am. And breaks up at 4.30 pm. Coming back from school I have a wash, take my meals and then go the play-ground after a brief rest. There I play football or take part in other games with my friends. I return when the sun-set, and then after saying my evening prayer, go into my study and read there till it is 9 am.

It is situated in an open place with good space on all side. There is ‍a flower garden in front of it. It has beautified our house. It has seven rooms – three bedrooms, one dining room, one storeroom, one reading room and ‍a drawing room. The rooms are airy and well lighted. My reading room is very nice with ‍a single bed and charming decoration. There are two toilets attached to the bedrooms. My parents use one and we all use the other. There are some trees around the house. They keep the house cool in summer. It is very comfortable to sit in the shade of the trees during hot weather. It is free form the din and bustle of the town. To me it is the sweetest place on the earth. I live here peacefully and happily with my parents. I am proud of it. To me my home is really the sweetest place on the earth. I love it more than anything else. It reminds me of the sweet song of the poet-

‘Home home, sweet home,

There is no place like home.’

When I went downstairs, I found my mother with some visitors in the living room. Some people have come to see my father, my mother explained. Then mother said look after them for a few minutes, dear, while I go and get your father. Suddenly I felt embarrassed and shy. All of my father’s visitors where grownups. I am not an adult like them I thought myself. How can I look after all these grown up people is a question in my mind. I smiled at the visitors, but I felt confused. I felt strange and couldn’t think of anything to say. I said nothing. After a few minutes my mother

Between them Gabtoly bus stand is the most famous even the biggest of all over the country. This bus stand is usually a place of a great din and bustle. Many buses arrive and depart and in this process there rises a great hue and cry here everyday. This place is always very crowded and busy place. There are also many tea-stalls, small shops and restaurants here. Many hawkers sell their goods at this bus stand. Books, journals, magazines and newspapers are also sold here. In this bus stand passengers buy tickets from the counters and wait for their bus. There are many facilities as chair, fan and clean toilet in some ticket counters. But generally a bus stand is an unclean, untidy and dirty place. On the other hand bus journey is getting more and more popular and unavoidable. So we should take the steps to improve the general conditions of bus stands in our country.

My mother

“Mother” is recognized as the sweetest of all words in this world. I love my mother so much. She is an ideal housewife of thirty-seven. She comes from a respectable Muslim family. She is very polite, affectionate and intelligent. She manages us nicely and performs all sorts of domestic work. My mother is very pious. She says her prayer properly five times in a day. She also read the Holy Quran regularly. My mother suggests me to follow the way of truth and honesty. Because she wants me to be polite, amicable, gentle and modest. She always behaves well. But she doesn’t feel well, if I fall in ill. And she would never mind to sacrifice her own life because of my happiness. She loves me dearly. I admire her and praise her for her lofty idealisms. She is my model to become an ideal person. I respect my mother and I feel my-self indebted to her. And I think she is grate in a word.

A post man

A postman is very familiar person. He who serves in the town puts on khaki dress and in the village he has no particular dress. But every postman has a different and definite area where he has to go. The post man carries across his shoulders a bag containing letters, parcels and money orders and other postal articles. He goes from one house to another to deliver all those things to the proper addresses. So in everyday every one expects his knock at the door. A post man is a very sincere and dutiful person. Thus he doesn’t deliver anything without the legal owner. Nevertheless he is ill paid. He is very poor employee of the postal department. But the job he performs is very important. He is very humble in the society. He brings good news though sometimes ill. But most of all he plays a significant role in the postal department. Considering his importance, the government should take a hand to improve his lot.

My Best Friend

Friendship is a great virtue. It is a blessing in life. There is a wise saying- “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. So, he who always stands by us in well and woe is a true friend. I have a few dear friends. But all of them **** is my best friend. He/She is a class fellow of mine. We have been studying together for three years. He possesses a good moral character. As he/She is sociable, everybody loves him/her. I love him/her too much indeed, and he/she also loves me from his/her heart. Actually his/her good behaviour attracts me to be his/her friend. Everybody knows him/her as a good student. He/She is very good at English and mathematics. I always find him/her helping the weaker students in their lessons and I also discuss my lessons with him/her. I think the key of his/her character is honesty. He/She never speaks ill of others, he/she always speaks the truth. He supports my good activities and oppose to the bad activities. So among all, I choose **** as my best friend who realizes me and understand me quite easily.

Early Rising(for-6)

Early rising means to get up early in the morning. It is a good habit for a healthy life. There is a wise saying –“Early to bed and early to rise, Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.” An early riser gets some advantages over a late riser. He, who rises early in the morning, can keep all the day’s work under his control. An early riser can enjoy the fresh air and the calm and quite of nature in the morning. At the same time he has the opportunity (my‡hvM) to take a morning walk or physical exercise in the open fields. This certainly makes him healthy and his mind cheerful. The beautiful gift and the colourful nature in the morning remind (g‡b Kwi‡q †`qv) him of the creator (m„wó KZ©v). He feels like to pray to Allah. Moreover, a late riser wastes his time in sleeping and so he does not have enough time to complete all the works properly. Time always moves on and never waits for anyone. So it would be better if everyone makes the habit of early rising from his childhood.

Your parents

I am the 3rd son of my parents. My father is a teacher and my mother is a house wife. My parents are very much careful to us. We all the children are affectionate to them. My parents show equal justice to every children. We are fed the same food, given the same cloth. My parents are well-wishers to us and they are our primary teachers. They are our ideal and best teachers. They advise us to read attentively, to do good jobs and not to do any harm to any body. They taught me not to tell lies. My parents taught me to be loyal to the Almighty God. My parents are the models of my ideals. My parents never gave me any physical punishment at any fault. Rather they try to make me understand the wrong which is done by me. I love my parents and respect them. I am very much loyal to my parents.

The School Library

A library is a collection of books on various subjects for use by the readers. A school library occupies an important role in a school. The few books which students read as texts are not sufficient. They must have to read many other books. A school library helps them here. Our school has a large, well furnished and spacious library with a collection of 5000 books. In the library books are arranged in a systematic way. All books are organised into categories or classes and then arranged alphabetically within this class. Each category is assigned a range of numbers and every book in the category is assigned its own special number within that number range. The text books and reference books are kept in another place of the library in the same order mentioned above. Students can make note sitting in the reading room of the library where the atmosphere is suitable for reading. They can also take books in their home being the member of the library. I am proud of our school library.

My Garden

I have a garden in front of my reading room. Whenever I get time, I work in it. I loose the soil with the spade and weed out the grass. I water the plants regularly. I also put a fence around my garden so that cattle or naughty children can not do any harm to my garden. In the morning my heart leaps up with joy to see my garden full of various flowers. They spread a sweet smell. The garden also looks very charming. I also grow various kinds of vegetables in one corner of my garden. The beauty and sweet smell of different flowers make me jolly. On holidays I work more in my garden. When my friends come to our home, I take them into my garden and show them various flowers. They become very glad to see my garden and thank me. It has improved my body and mind. Before making this garden I was a boy of ill health. I did not feel hungry. I lost my taste for food. Day by day I became weak. I started the garden to have a sound health and my health, in fact, improved. Everyday I work in the garden at least for two hours. As a result of it my blood runs well.

He ignores every trouble and works hard in the field form dawn to dusk. He generally grows paddy, jute, oil seeds, pulses, sugarcanes and many other crops. During the harvesting season, his heart leaps up with pleasure to see the golden crops in the field. Though he works hard all day long, he leads ‍a very simple, poor and miserable life. He does not get what he needs. Sometimes he suffers form diseases for want of proper treatment. Illiteracy stands on the way of his prosperity. For the lack of scientific knowledge, money to buy good seeds and fertilizers, he can’t cultivate more crops. He always remains in want. So, the government as well as the rich people should feel for them and do something for the betterment of his lot.

National Flag

Every country has a national flag of her own, which symbolizes the sovereignty of the country. Like other countries we have a separate national flag and it is very sacred to us. We are really proud of it. We achieved it after a nine months’ sanguinary war of liberation in 1971. It bears a great significance. It is the pride and symbol of our nation. Our national flag is rectangular in size and is very nice to look at. It may be of different sizes but its length and breadth must be in the ratio of 10:6. The middle portion of it is bottle green in colour. Its bottle green colour stands for the everlasting freshness of our youth and vitality of our nation. The red portion of it indicates our prosperity and bright future. It also symbolizes the sun of freedom that rises for ‍a Renaissance or awakening and the sacrifice of blood by the martyrs. It is the symbol of all our hopes and aspirations. It is, as it were, the spirit of revolution itself. It is the symbol of all our hopes and aspirations. We should look upon our national flag with great respect. It is our duty to uphold the honour of our national flag and pay homage to it. So, all of us should remain ever vigilant to safeguard its honour and sanctity even at the cost of our life.

Load- Shedding

Load-shedding means discontinuation of the supply of electricity. It happens when the generation of power is insufficient. In order to cope with the shortage of power generation, the authority concerned stops the flow of the electricity to some areas for a certain period. It has become a part and parcel of our daily life. It paralyses the normal life of people. Shops, factories , houses, hospitals etc. are mainly affected by it. Mills and factories stop functioning for the time being. If it is lost for several hours the production hampers seriously. Sufferings during night is most acute. Students are the worst sufferers during the load-shedding. They sit idly in the dark closing their books. Besides, people living in luxury with modern electronics gadgets like air –conditioner, refrigerator, washing machines etc are brought down to ordinary level due to load-shedding. The reasons behind load-shedding are many. But the most common are the age old plant and machinery, poor maintenance and excess demand. However ineffective administration and planning are making the problems still more acute. The whole economy is bound to collapse if the present level of load-shedding is aloud to continue further. So, the government should think over the matter more seriously and take necessary steps to check it as early as possible.
