Early rising is an act of getting up early from bed. It is a good
habit which is beneficial both for health and mind. It is
generally believed that an early riser can never be idle. He
surely becomes an active man. The habit of early rising makes
a man sound in body and mind because he can breath breathe
fresh air of the early morning which keeps him healthy. Since
the early riser becomes active and healthy, he can easily earn
more money. So it also helps a man to become wealthy.
Moreover, a man with the habit of early rising will never
complain against the shortness of time. The habit of early rising
makes a man regular, punctual and disciplined. So we should
try to form the habit of early rising.

A TEA STALL
a What is a tea stall? (b) Where is it housed? (c) how is a tea
stall arranged? (d) how is tea prepared? (e) Why is a tea stall
noisy place?
A tea stall is a small shop where tea is served in exchange of
money. It is usually a small room with a few tables and chairs. In
some tea stalls there are only a pair of long narrow tables with
benches set beside them. In one corner, there are a chair and a

table where the owner of the stall sits. A cash box is kept on the
table. There is an oven where water is always found to be boiling
in a kettle. A cupboard is often found in some tea stalls. Bananas,
cakes, sweets are kept in the cupboard. A tea stall is a noisy and
crowded place. People often pass their time in discussion of
various types of topics. Nowadays tea stalls are found here and
there both in towns and village.
DEFORESTATION
(a)
What do you mean by deforestation? (b) What are the
effects of deforestation? (c) How can you save the country
from it? (d) What is your suggestion about it? (d) How can
you influence people about it? (f) Do you think every man
and woman should plant a tree?
Deforestation means destroying our forest land by cutting
down trees at a large scale. We need trees for oxygen. Trees
provide shelter for birds and animals. They provide oxygen
without which no animals can exist. To destroy trees means
to destroy life on earth. So human must not act foolishly and
destroy forests. To maintain the ecological balance in a
country, scientists say, we need 24% forest land compared
to the total area. We, in Bangladesh, however, have only
15%. So, it is essential to increase our forest land by planting
more and more trees. At the same time, we have to prevent
people from cutting down trees. For this, what
we need most is to organize a social movement and mobilize
people to realize the importance of trees. At the present
situation, I think every man and woman must plant at least
one or two trees. The social movement, as I started above,
surely will go a long way to encourage people in a
forestation and discourage in deforestation.

Commonly a bus stand is a place where buses stop and start
from. Generally, it stands at the outskirts of a town or city. It
carries a great value for the passengers of long drive. It is
quite a crowded place. In the maximum bus stands there is a
waiting room for the passengers. Passengers dont have to
wait for long time for the buses. Passengers gather at bus
stand to get into the bus when it comes. It is visible that
both passengers and coolies are equally busy at the stand.
Some passengers wait for buses for a while and go into the
tea-stall for drinking a cup of tea. Most of buses cannot come
to the station in time because of jam. It is sometimes seen
that buses are overcrowded then the environment inside the
buses is suffocating (
). However, a bus-stand is a
temporary shelter for passenger. In some bus stand there
are counters for booking tickets. Passengers stand in a line
for buying tickets. Sometimes some ill-tempered (
)
passengers break the line and quarrel among themselves.
Many kinds of things are found at the bus stand. There are
found road-side tea-stalls, other small shops, hawkers selling
betel-leaf and cigarette at a bus stand. Magazine and
seasonal (
) fruits are available here. Indeed it is a place
of crowd.

A tea stall is a small shop. Tea is mainly served here to people.

A tea stall is a common sight (
) in the town and
village markets. We may find it in the street sides, at the bus,
the launch and the railway stations, in front of an office, by the
side of a cinema hall. A few benches or chairs with tables are
placed in a tea-stall. The customers sit here for taking tea and
light (
) refreshment. It is frequented by the weary passersby, the tired official assistants, the fatigued (
)
labourers , the exhausted (
) rickshaw pullers as well as the
students and political workers. While taking tea they go on
gossiping in groups on any kind of subject and it is called a mini
Sangsad. It is, in fact a pleasure resort for people of all age
groups and of all walks of life. It open early in the morning and
closes late at night. People of various classes and tastes (
) gather here. As a result, it is usually a busy place where
people can share their feelings.

A school magazine is generally a literary journal of the school.
It is generally published annually or bi-annually. It is considered
a training medium (
) of literary writings by
the young writers. It usually contains stories, poems, jokes,
essays etc. The topics for the magazine are selected by the
chief editor who gives direction (
) to the students to
write properly. Among the writings the authorities in charge
select the writings to publish. They give priority (
) for
the creative writings (
). The school magazine plays
an important role in helping the students to express their
feelings and thoughts. It is also helpful (
) for the
teachers to know the inner strength of their student. To speak
truths the school magazine is the perfect platform for the
future writers. This literary magazine acts as a link between the
ex-student and the present student of a school.

TRAFFIC JAM
(a)
What is traffic jam? (b) What are the causes of Traffic
Jam? (c) What happen when a Traffic Jam occurs? (d) Who
are the worst sufferers? (e) What is your feeling at the time
of Traffic Jam? (g) How can Traffic Jam be removed?

Traffic Jam means blockade (

) of vehicles on roads
and streets. It is a problem of urban (
) areas. There
are a number of reasons of traffic jam. Unlicensed and
unauthorized rickshaws are the main causes of traffic jam.
Violating (
) traffic rules and regulations, illegal
parking of vehicles on roads also causes traffic jam. Again,
narrow roads and frequent digging (
) for
development work, cause traffic jam. Building materials piled
(
) on roads cause traffic jam too. Whatever the cause
of traffic jam may be, it is a great threat of urban people. In
our daily activities, we cannot become fast and punctual
because traffic jam kills our valuable time. Office going
people, school going children and dying patients are also a
victim to traffic jam. So, it is our bounden (
)
responsibility (
) to solve this problem. But there is no
fixed way to solve this problem. It requires united action (
) to solve this problem. Shops and markets should be
removed from the roadsides. In some places, government
should build fly-over and people should be made aware of
the traffic rules and regulations. We should not cross the
roads in an indisciplined way (
). All these
measures will help us to remove the traffic jam.

(a)
What is a rainy day? (b) How is a rainy day? (c) How do
people feel on a rainy day? (d) What happens to the poor?
(e) How do school going boys and girls feel on a rainy day?

A rainy day is a day when it rains a lot. During the day, the sky
remains cloudy (
). A flash of lightning and a noise of
thunder are seen and heard together. Sometimes heavy wind
also blows (
) during the day. On such a day the day
labourers cannot work, officials can not go to office. But the
school goers get a golden opportunity (
) having a
rainy day. During a rainy day, they feel very happy as they do
not need to go to school. They pass the day by playing indoor
games like hide and seek (
), ludo, chess, carom, etc.
In fact, the school goes wish the day very much. But the poor
cannot welcome the day. Because of the fact that they have to
suffer a lot during the day. During a rainy day, they cannot earn
their bread and butter (
) and so they have to starve.
Even they cannot stay in their dilapidated cottages (
)
well as rain water enters into their living places. In fact, the
poor have to pass a very miserable life (
) during a
rainy day.

winter morning? (c) How do animal feel? (d) When do people
get up? (e) What kinds of food do people eat? (f) What do
children and people do in a winter morning?
Winter is the coldest season (
) of the year. A
morning in winter is misty (
) and cold. There is
dense fog (
) everywhere. Things even at a little
distance can hardly be seen. Everything looks hazy
(
). This cause disruption to the communication
system. Dew (
) drops fall at night. Sometimes cold
waves blow. It cause much sufferings to the children and
people. Village people gather straw (
) and dry
leaves to make fire to warm themselves. The old and

children bask in the sun. Usually people get up late. In a

winter morning people in Bangladesh enjoy different kinds of
pithas. Delicious (
) sweetmeats are also prepared
with date juice (
). But a winter morning is a curse
for the poor. They suffer much for want of warm clothes
nature looks very gloomy (
). The scene of a winter
morning disappears (
) as the day advances. A
winter morning is pleasant for someones and unpleasant for
the other.
