Listing and Description Paragraph
The Padma Bridge
The Padma Multipurpose Bridge is commonly known as the
Padma Bridge and it is a two-level road-rail bridge across the Padma River. It
connects Louhajang Upazila of Munshiganj and Zazira Upazila of Shariatpur and a
small part of Shibchar Upazila of Madaripur, linking the less developed
southwest of the country to the northern and eastern regions. Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina laid the foundation of the dream bridge on 12th December 2015.
The length of this bridge is 6.15 kilometers and the width is 18.18 meters. It
is not only the biggest bridge but also the biggest project in the history of
Bangladesh. It is the 6th longest multipurpose bridge and the 122nd largest
bridge in the world. The bridge provides the people with a four-lane highway
facility at the top and a single-track railway at the bottom of the
bridge. The important point is that it
is a multipurpose rail-road bridge the existing government has made from the
country's own finance. Around 30 thousand crores ($3.6 billion) have been spent
on this mega project. China Major Bridge Engineering Company Limited had been
tasked with building the bridge. As the Padma is a 'khasrota' river, the
bridge's pile had to reach a depth of 120 m (390 ft) which is deeper than any
other bridge in the world. Chinese Major Group Engineering Company took about
seven years to complete the task. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the
bridge on 25th June 2022. Now we can easily reach the tourist spots in the
southwestern part of the country namely Sundarbans, Kuakata, and other
important destinations such as Faridpur, Gupalganj, Barisal, Patuakhali,
Khulna, etc. The bridge will not only ease the communication system of the
country but also boost our GDP by around 1.2 percent. With the development of
communication systems, millions of people will get access to better medical and
educational facilities. Therefore, the emergence of the Padma bridge is a
blessing for millions of people.
Tree Plantation
Tree plantation is the
process of planting and growing more trees. Trees play a vital role in our
lives as they are essential to sustain the existence of human beings on Earth.
Life on Earth would be impossible without trees as they provide numerous
benefits to the environment and to living beings. One of the most important
benefits of trees is that they produce oxygen. Oxygen is essential for the
survival of humans and all other living beings. Trees also help to maintain the
balance of our environment by absorbing the carbon dioxide that we emit. This
helps to prevent air pollution and keeps our environment healthy. Trees also
have a significant impact on the soil and water systems. They help to prevent
soil erosion and water pollution by retaining water in the soil, which helps in
groundwater recharge. Additionally, trees provide shade, which helps to reduce
the surface temperature and make the environment more comfortable for living
beings. Apart from environmental benefits, trees provide various other benefits
to us. They provide us with food, fruits, wood, shade, and flowers. Trees also
provide valuable medicines derived from their leaves, bark, and roots. They add
beauty to nature and enhance the aesthetic value of our surroundings.
Unfortunately, we are cutting down trees at an alarming rate for housing,
commercial, and agricultural purposes. To prevent the depletion of trees, we
should plant more and more trees. We can organize tree plantation drives and
distribute free tree saplings to make people aware of the importance of trees.
My Favorite Teacher
My favorite teacher’s name is Md Rabiul Hossain. He is 37
years old and he teaches us English. I was totally unable to understand this
subject before. But after his teaching, I became fluent in English and now it
is one of my favorite subjects. I really enjoy his class. We don’t fear him
because he is very friendly. We can ask him anything related to our class. He
is very talented and he can explain everything clearly. Every student pays
attention to his class. We have a brilliant result in his subject. He monitors
the activity of every single student. He is very energetic and inspiring. We
always become inspired watching him and he tells us that we need to study
better to become successful in our life. He has so many good qualities and habits.
These qualities made him special and different from other teachers. He is so
kind and helpful. He helps the poor students financially sometimes and gives
extra attention to the weak performers. He is the Secretary of the Academic
Council of the college. Moreover, he is the Hostel Super of our college hostel.
He is the leader of the Rover Scout unit of our college. He is always smiling
and never gets angry at anyone. He always shares her struggle with us. We get
so much inspiration from his story. He gives free tuition to the weak and poor
students so that they can do better in their exams. His teaching method is very
unique and different. He has too much influence in my life. He gives me so many
lessons and I learn so many things from him. He is a huge part of my life.
The Uses and Abuses of Mobile Phone
Mobile phone refers to a telephone that does not
have wires. It function by radio. People of almost all ages use mobile phone.
But the young generation feel attracted most to use it widely. One can carry
mobile phone with oneself and use it anywhere. It is a recent scientific
invention.It is of great use to us.
Besides communicating with the people in distant places, one can send message,
know time table , do calculation, play games and spots, hear songs and music, take snaps, be familiar
with global culture by browsing internet with the help of mobile phone. And so
its popularity is increasing day by day. One can communicate with one’s near
and dear persons in distant places in the twinkling of an eye by using mobile
phone. It saves one’s valuable time, energy and also money. With its golden
touch, the countries of the world are like families in a village. In spite of
numerous advantages of mobile phone, it
has some drawbacks also. Sometimes it becomes the cause of health hazard to the
users. Specially the children are affected much. Scientists believe that mobile
phone causes cancer, brain tumors, genetic damage and some other incurable
diseases. Besides, by using the mobile phone, the terrorists and criminals
commit crimes without much difficulty . Our young generations are being
attracted to vulgarism because of its easy accessibility. They are expending
more time in using mobile phone . As a result, their studies are being hampered
seriously . Moreover, in some cases secrecy is not maintained strictly, and so
people are deceived by wicked people . Despite these abuses, the importance of
mobile phone in communicating with people at home and abroad cannot be denied.
The Uses and Abuses of Facebook
Facebook is the most popular and most largely used
social net-working service with over a billion active users. Facebook was first
founded by Mark Zucker Berg along with his roommates and classmates of Harvard
University. Any person over 18 years can become a registered user of Facebook.
Facebook expands relation among people around the world. It is a great way to
keep in touch with our family members and friends who live far away. With the
status updates,photos and profile information , it can keep us up to date on
the happenings of all of our near and dear ones. Using facebook one can express
his/ her opinions easily. Its merits in the field of friends making, connecting
people, chatting, job seeking and business expanding cannot be denied. Another
reason is that it helps us to make us public to the people most importantly.
But it has some demerits too. Though face book gives entertainment to
student-users and helps them know one another, it has now become a curse for
the students. Students spend much of their valuable time in Facebook neglecting
their studies. In the United States, Facebook has turned into a national
obsession encouraging narcissism.Moreover, it is very easy for cyber bullies to
thrive.They can harasse and gang up on one person.The demerits of Facebook in
derailing teenagers and even the adult cannot also be denied. It is now almost
equally used and abused. We should take all possible steps so that this
blessing does not turn into a curse.
The Uses and Abuses of Internet
Internet is the latest and most wonderful means of
worldwide communication. It is a new
scientific device for quick and speedy news transmission. It is a computer
based networking system that has created a great revolution in the world. It is
a medium through which we can send news and views in the shortest possible
time.We can share our feelings, emotions and attitudes with our near and dear
ones of home and abroad through internet in a minute. We can send messages and
information to any corner of the globe in the twinkling of an eye. It is the
cheapest and fastest means of communication for business and commerce.The
information system of the world has
become globilized with the magical touch of internet. Internet has
brought new opprtunities for government, education and business.In the
developed countries ,teachers send every study material and course to every
individual student through internet. If one wants to use internet, one has to
learn how to operate it.But it has not widely spread all over Bangladesh and
the price of computer is still high. Besides, most of the people of our country
do not have the knowledge of internet service. So most of the people of
Bangladesh are deprived of the benefit of it. So people should be taught how to
operate a computer and how to use internet. Internet service should be
introduced everywhere in Bangladesh and brought within the reach of the common
people.
The Importance of Learning English
A language which is recognized
and used internationally is called an international language. English language
is accepted globally as the most influential language. About 300 million people
use it as a second language who are not English origin. It is the official or
semi official language in more than 60 countries and of many international
organizations. In this way English has got the status of an international
language connecting people around the world. So learning English is important
for development in all spheres of life. The learning of English grammar is also
necessary. Because without learning grammar we can’t use a language accurately.
English is necessary in trade, commerce and industrial development. English is
needed for higher education because all the essential reference books are
written in English. Again more than 80% information on computers is in English.
The websites on internet are mostly
developed in English. So English has a hold an influence on science and
information technology. Employers also seek to appoint those as their workers
who can speak and write good English. Having a good command in English can help
a man to get a good job and a handsome salary. If we want to keep pace with the
rest of world and develop as a nation, we all must learn English well. In our
country, the status of English is not very good. Students learn English in
schools, colleges and even in universities but they can’t get command over
language. It is a good news that the government has given importance on teaching
English in schools and colleges. Our English text book helps us to learn
English. The book is designed in such a way so that students can learn
commutative English properly.
Female Education
Education is the fullest development of body, mind
and soul together. Everyone has right to take education. No discrimination
should be made between male and female while receiving education. But
discrimination is made between male and female in our country while receiving
education. So the condition of female education in our country is not
satisfactory.The rate of female literacy is about 60%. To be a conscious
citizen of the country, to be an active member of the family and society, to be
a good mother or wife,and to lead a self-reliant better life ,a woman should be
educated properly.There are some barriers on the way of female education.
Religious misinterpretation and social strictures discourage, often prevent
girls from going to co- education schools. Even in urban schools girls are not
allowed by many parents to live in student halls because they fear for their
girls’ safety. Early marriage and child birth make women tied to home, with no
possibility of going back to school at all.. Any expenditure for sending girls
to school is considered wastage by many parents. Many parents believe that
their main responsibility in life is to prepare their daughter for marriage and
child bearing, not for her own individual life. Illiteracy, superstitious
beliefs, narrowness of parents’ mind and mentality are some of the reasons
behind these barriers. These barriers or problems can be removed by spreading
education widely. Encouraging female education is very important. Because of
the fact that women comprise half of our population. If they are not allowed to
be involved in workforce, sustainable development will never be obtained. In
fact, the importance of female education for our overall development cannot be
denied in the true sense of the term.
Your Visit to a Book Fair
A book fair is a fair where books are displayed for
selling, advertising and for public recognition. Book fair is arranged to
inspire viewers, readers and critics to buy and read more books. Nowadays book
fairs are becoming more and more popular with the general mass. There are at
least two major book fairs held in our country in national level. One is
‘Ekushe Boi Mela’ and the other is ‘Dhaka Boi Mela’. Besides these two book
fairs, there are some other small fairs
held in different cities and towns on some special occasions. I visited Ekushe
Boi Mela last year. Books of different tastes and different subjects were kept
and displayed in a good number of stalls for both sale and exhibition. The
stalls of different shapes and forms were beautifully decorated to attract the
attention of the book-lovers. It was a very charming and popular place
especially for the book lovers like the teachers , the students, the poets even
some authors. Besides book stalls, there were some stalls where cassettes of
Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, folk song and recitation, posters, view cards,
calendars etc were sold in a book fair.
Essentially there were some fast food stalls so that the visitors might
have refreshment. Various cultural functions and discussion programmes were
held in the book fair. Seminars were also held in the fair where intellectuals
tookpart to discuss on different subjects. The fair became crowded in the
evening. Different types of cultural programmes were also arranged in the fair.
A crowd of people gathered in a book fair. Visiting a book fair is really a
nice experience. It increase our knowledge and we also know about the current
trend of literature of the country. However book fair plays a vital role in
spreading education, knowledge and national heritage, history, culture etc of a
country. Hence, it should be made more popular for a better and progressive
national life.
Pahela Baishakh
There are some remarkable days in our national life.
These days come to our life with the message of immense pleasure and
traditional festivities. Pahela Baishakh is the first day of Bangla New Year.
It is, no doubt, a part and parcel of Bangldeshi culture. It expresses the
happy moments of our life. The day is celebrated with traditional festivities
throughout the country. Traditionally traders and shop keepers are found to
open halkhata. They offer sweets to their customers and clients. Different
organizations and institutions chalkout elaborate programmes to celebrate the
day. On this day national dailies bring out special supplements. Bangladesh
Television and Bangladesh Radio also broadcast many special programmes all the
day long. Specially students and teachers of the Institution of Fine Arts (IFA)
of Dhaka University bring out a colourful procession carrying festoons,
placards, posters, banners and wearing masks from the Institute premises at
9.30 a.m to welcome the Bangla New Year. Bangla Academy, Shilpakala Academy,
Jatiya Press Club, Bulbul Lalitkala Academy, Liberation War Museum and
Bangladesh National Museum and other cultural organizations also arrange
different programmes on the occasion. People of all ages enjoy the day very
much. As the pahela Baishakh is one of the important cultures of the Bangalees,
It is really a glorious day for them. The day signifies a new dimension of new
life for all people of our Bangladesh.
An
Ieal Student
An ideal student is one who is
good both in his studies and manners. He is not necessarily a brilliant
student. However, he is very much regular and punctual in his studies. He
attends his class regularly and listen to his teacher attentively. He also
avoids politics and bad habits. An ideal student must be truthful, honest, and
obedient. He should always speak the truth and never tell a lie. He should say
his prayers five times a day. He ought
to develop love for his own country. He must be ready to dedicate his
life for the welfare of the country. An ideal student participates in
co-curricular activities. He also takes part in games and sports. He plays in
the playground at the proper time. A sound body develops a sound mind which
helps him to prosper in life. He is obedient to his parents and teachers. An ideal
student studies with rapt attention. He never shirks his duty. His aim is to be
great in life. He always makes proper use of time and never wastes a single
moment of time. He abides by the rules of discipline in all aspects of life. He prepares his life with a noble aim. And he
does everything to fulfil his aim.
Satellite TV Channels
Satellite TV channels are those channels that
telecast television programmes to the deferent parts of the world via
satellite. Satellite telecasting has added new dimensions to television.
Nowadays a huge number of satellite channels telecast a wide rang of programmes
of varied interest. The programmes of all the channels are not beneficial. Some
channels like Discovery, National Geographic, CNN, BBC telecast highly
informative programmes and can enrich our mind with sage and sagacity . On the
contrary some channels like TV-6, MTV, HBO, AXN, REN-TV cause cultural decay
and moral degeneration because they are full of nudism and vulgarism. It has a
negative role in our society. Some channels cause cultural assault and moral
degradation. Foreign cultures are frequently intruding into our country. Our
national culture can be fostered and enriched by avoiding those immoral
programmes and showing respect to our own culture and tradition. Our own
cultural heritage and elements should be introduced to the new generation. It
is true that the programmes of some satellite TV channels are destructive.
Those programmes which are harmful should be avoided. That’s to say
constructive programmes of the satellite TV channels should be enjoyed. we also
have to find out how to derive the best benefit from satellite TV channels
keeping its evil up to the minimum limit. Otherwise, moral degradation will
take place and social stability will be destroyed.
The Victory Day
The
Victory Day is a red letter day in our national life. The 16th December is the
victory day in Bangladesh. We achieved our freedom through victory on the 16th
December in 1971. Since then we have been living as an independent nation. So,
the 16th December is the most significant event for us. We had been under the
Pakistani rule from 1947 to 1971. During this period the Pakistani rulers were
ruling our country with an iron rod. They were depriving us of our rights. They
were looting our money and sending it to West Pakistan. Not only that, the
rulers were growing more brutal too. They were torturing those who were raising
their voice against their injustice. Even, the once tried to impose Urdu upon
us. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was forced not to form a government though
his party won absolute majority in the general election. Rather, he was taken
the prisoner on the 25th March 1971. During Operation Search Light The
Pakistani rulers killed thousands of people. They fired villages after
villages. Finding no other way, Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared
independence on the 26th March. Then the Liberation War began. We become
independent through a bloody war after nine months. The Victory Day has a great
importance in our national life. We have earned name and fame for this day. Now
we are the citizens of a free country. We are enjoying equal rights. We do
everything freely. We are living in respect. We don’t need to bow down our head
before any force. The whole world knows our country now. The day is a great
inspiration. It encourages us to go ahead. In conclusion, we can say that the
Victory Day is our pride. Thy day has given us a new recognition. The day has
given us named and fame. So, we are proud of the day.
International Mother Language Day
The
21st of February is a red-letter day in our national life. On this day in 1952,
the brave sons of our motherland laid down their lives to protect the interest
of our mother tongue. Since then we have been observing this day as ‘Shaheed
Day’. But in 1999, UNESCO declared this day as ‘International Mother Language
Day‘. This declaration has turned a national celebration into an international
event. With the declaration of the UNESCO, a new dimension has been added to
the day. The teaching of the day is that we all should respect the mother
languages of others. Our mother language is our unique possession. In the same
way, other people’s mother languages are also priceless to them. In a broader
sense, the day teaches us to have respect for other people’s rights. On this
day the national flag flies at half-mast. Some rituals are performed. Early in
the morning the President, Prime Minister, members of Parliament, staffs of
diplomatic missions and others arrive at Central Shaheed Minar to place
bouquets of flowers. Thus they pay tribute to those who gave their lives for
Bangla. Throughout the day people visit the Shaheed Minar to show their respect
to the martyrs. Everywhere the elegiac song. “Amar Bhayer Rakte Rangano Ekushey
February” is sung. Discussions, meetings, cultural programs, etc. go on for
remembering the language matters. The 21st of February has become an
inspiration for us on our way of progress and prosperity.
Your College Library
A
good college is one which provides an ideal environment for studies. Such an
environment is not provided by costly benches and tables. It is provided by
dedicated teachers and a good library. I am glad to say that I have been lucky
enough to study in such an institution. Our college’s library is made up of
three hall-rooms; one of which is a reading-room. The other rooms are made up
of books which are neatly arranged on the shelves. A librarian sits at a
counter and issues books to us. He is helped by two assistants. They are
vigilant so that books are kept in good condition. The college authorities
issue library cards to us so that we can borrow books. However, we have to
return books within a week. In this way, everyone gets a chance to borrow the
books of this choice. During college hours, we may study in the reading room.
As silence reigns supreme, we feel like sitting there. Our college library is
of great help to our teachers too, because they can consult reference books and
thereby present their subjects in a more enlightened way. They may select books
from a rich collection of five thousand books. There are old and rare books as
well as latest editions. Books are added to this collection every year so that
students and teachers may keep pace with the latest theories and thoughts. I
think that the college library has provided the students and teachers with an
ideal place for widening their knowledge-and although our college doesn’t look
special, the library has made it a special place of learning for us.
The Liberation War of Bangladesh
The
war of independence is a glorious period in the history of our country. The war
was fought against the Pakistan army in 1971. Through this war, Bangladesh
emerged as an independent country. It was also a war of supreme sacrifice.
About three million people died in this war.
Most of them died in the genocide carried out by the Pakistani army. On
March 25, the army launched ‘Operation Search Light’, a massive attack in which
there were heavy casualties. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib was arrested and flown to
West Pakistan. Before that, he declared the independence of Bangladesh. Most of
the Awami League leaders fled and set up a government-in-exile in Calcutta,
declaring Bangladesh an independent state. Internal resistance was mobilized by
some Bengali units of the regular army. Eventually, on Dec. 3, 1971, the Indian
army invaded the territory of its neighbor. The Pakistani army surrendered on
December 16. Thus after long nine months
of massacre the war of Liberation came to an end and Bangladesh won freedom.
Now 16th December is observed as the Victory Day. Bangabandhu Sheikh
Our victory in the war of independence was a hard-earned one. We should not let
this great achievement go in vain.
A Winter Morning
A
winter morning is both enjoyable and distressful. It is naturally a very cold
morning. There is dense fog all around. Sometimes the fog is so dense that the
sun rays can't get through it. Nothing can be seen even at a little distance.
Dew drops fall at night. When the morning sun peeps they look like glittering gold
on grasses and leaves. It is pleasant to the rich but curse to the poor. The
poor village people and the slum dwellers in cities suffer greatly for want of
warm clothes. Farmers have to go to the fields with their materials. The
workers of low classes have to go to their workplace in the morning. In the
villages, children and old people gather straw and make fires to warm
themselves. The old people bask in the sun or warm themselves beside fireplace.
In the village market, some people come out to sell 'date juice'. The scenery
of towns is totally different from villages. The people of the town get up from
bed a bit late. They also enjoy the
winter morning. Thus a winter morning is not only enjoyable but also distressful
to people.
Benefits of Early Rising
The
practice of getting up early in the morning is defined as early rising. This
habit is incredibly beneficial for people of all ages. The habit of rising
early has numerous mental and physical benefits for us. It is necessary for
keeping good health. By getting up early, one can have enough time for having a
morning walk or some physical exercise, and enjoy the dust-free, oxygen-rich
fresh air by the water or in an open ground. They can even have the chance to
enjoy the sunrise and soak in the sunshine for a while. Early rising can result
in refreshing both the mind and the body. One can also absorb the peaceful and
pleasant ambiance of the surroundings, or the chance to experience the beauty
of the world, which is full of bright flowers, green fields, and birds
chirping. All of these factors contribute to an early riser's overall happiness
and health. After that, one can begin their daily task earlier without worrying
much about it or any sort of anxiety. Therefore, they can get more time to
work, earn more money, and become prosperous. If a person does not get up
early, they may encounter numerous challenges throughout the day. Their day may
start in a hurry or rush. After working for a few hours, they would easily feel
exhausted. Most probably, that would be much faster than the early risers. We
all want to avoid these unpleasant situations and maintain our mental and
physical wellness. According to an English proverb, "early to bed and
early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Thus, rising early
is beneficial to one's health, prosperity, and wisdom. Therefore, we should all
get up early in the morning.
