Your Native Village

(Introduction/Name and situation, Area, population and occupation, Means of communication, Important places, Climate of the village, Products, Economic condition, Conclusion)

 

The name of my native village is Noapara where I was born and brought up. It is under Raozan Thana in the district of Chattogram. It is an ideal village in Bangladesh. It is 12 kilometres away from the Thana Headquarters.

Our village is about three miles long and two miles broad. About ten thousand people of different classes and communities live here. They are the Muslims, the Hindus and the Buddhists. People of different occupation live here. Some of the inhabitants are Government employees. Others are teachers, professors, lawyers, doctors and merchants and the rest are farmers. Moreover, carpenters, artisans, fishermen, weavers, gold-smiths etc. live here.

The system of communication of this village is remarkable. A district council road runs through our village. There are many muddy roads also. People can reach Dhaka-Chattogram Highway by bus.

There are two primary schools, a high school, a madrasha, a branch post office, a village market and a police station. There is also a Health Complex in our village. The village is famous for its social and cultural activities.

A daily market is held in the morning everyday and the 'hat' where we get all the necessary things of life sits twice in a week. The villagers observe different festivals. The Hindus observe the Durgapuja, the Saraswatipuja etc. The Muslims enjoy the two Eids and other festivals. The Buddhists also celebrate the Buddha Purnima.

The climate of our village is exactly suitable for our health. The river, the large cornfields, the garden, the orchards etc. add to its beauty. Fresh vegetables, drinking water, fish, milk, meat etc. are available in plenty.

 The soil of the village is fertile & suitable. So we get rice, jute oilseed etc. in plenty. Every family has a garden near the dwelling house. Flower-plants and fruit-trees are grown there. Most of the villagers earn their livelihood by selling surplus fruits and vegetables. So to speak, it helps them economically.

The people of my village are very gentle. They live in perfect harmony with one another. There is no clash among the different castes. Elders are respected and obeyed, and the under-dogs are not exploited and hated. Ours is a progressive village. I am very proud of being a son of such a village. On the whole, It is a paradise to us.

A paragraph on Your/My School Diary

I am a student of the YWCA Higher Secondary Girls' School located at 11 Green Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. Our school supplies a school diary to each student. It is a bound book containing a form of personal Memoranda at the beginning of the diary. Every student fills in the form. Then there are three pages meant for class routine. Names of the days are printed at the vertical left column and periods are mentioned at upper column horizontally. Class routine may change at different times of the year. So these three pages are kept for accommodating the new routines. The rest of the pages of the diary contain the printed pages with the heading 'Home work' at the top of the page and underneath the heading. There are sub-headings— Date, Subject & Task. Every student is to record the date, subjects taught and home works given at different periods of that date. Every student is to carry the diary with him/her at the school. This system of keeping a school diary is very useful to every student. I keep my diary regularly. It helps me much to prepare my lessons and to do my home works regularly. 

A paragraph on The Necessity of Physical Exercise

Physical exercise means the movement of different limbs of the body to keep them mobile and strong. The proper growth of different organs of the body depends on physical exercise. Without it none can enjoy good health. It makes a man strong and active and keeps him free from diseases. Regular physical exercise ensures a sound mind in a sound body. It offers us recreation too. It keeps our mind away from drudgery of work and fills it with joy. It gives us fresh energy and helps us to return to work with renewed vigour. It ensures proper circulation of blood in our body and increases the power of digestion. It prolongs our life and strengthens our mind. A man who takes physical exercise regularly looks stronger and younger than his age. But all sorts of exercise are not suitable for men and women of all ages. Running, swimming, playing, LT, riding are suitable for the young, while walking is good for the old. Again, morning and evening are the proper time for taking physical exercise. If we want to live a happy and healthy life and to keep our body strong and active, we should take regular physical exercise. 

A Paragraph on How We Have Observed the Victory Day

Every year we observe the 16th December as a Victory Day. On this day in 1971 the barbarous Pakistani army surrendered to the joint commander of the Indian Army and Bangladesh Liberation Forces. Through their surrender the nine months' War of Liberation came to an end and Bangladesh came into existence as an independent sovereign state. As such this day is regarded as the Victory Day. Yesterday we observed this Victory Day in our school premises in a ceremonious way. The function began with the hoisting of our national flag at 6 o'clock in the morning. In the afternoon a discussion meeting was held with the headmaster in the chair. The Mayor of Dhaka City Corporation was the chief guest. Students, guardians and other guests also attended the function. The students sang some patriotic songs. A few students recited patriotic poems of Tagore and Nazrul. Various speakers spoke on the occasion explaining the significance of the day in our national life. The function came to a close with a vote of thanks by the assistant teachers.

A paragraph on How to Do Well in the Examination

A student who studies regularly, learns his lessons well and makes a good preparation is sure to do well in the examination. But there are some students who work hard but cannot do well in the examination. To do well in the examination, a student should be regular to his studies from the very beginning of the year. It helps a student to prepare his lessons thoroughly. Many students neglect their studies at the beginning and when the examination approaches, they start cramming. But cramming does not help a student in time of his need. Clear concept about a subject helps a student to answer the questions properly. Secondly, a student has to make his notes for the examinations through proper understanding and constant practice. Because without understanding memorized things may not be effective when a student wants to reproduce them. Again, a student should have a fairly good command of the language to answer the uncommon questions set in the examination. Above all, to do well in the examination a student must he industrious, dutiful, sincere, punctual and hard working

A paragraph on How to Learn English Well

Most of the students of our country feel much difficulty in learning English well. I would like to put here some suggestions about how to learn English well and how to secure good marks in English. The first and foremost duty of a student is to attend his/her English classes regularly and listen to what his/her teachers say in the classes. Secondly, he has to read English correctly and try to understand it properly. Reading a thing correctly and then understanding the same properly will help him to know the same in a better way. Thirdly, a student has to write frequently what he has learnt. The practice of writing is a good way of knowing a subject and a language. Finally, a student should make the habit of speaking English in their day to day life. This will help him to speak English well. I believe, if anybody follows the above method he will soon feel easy to read, write and speak English well. 

A Paragraph on A Journey by Train

I made an enjoyable journey by train last week. I like to tell something about it. My elder sister lives in Dhaka with her husband. My parents told me to pay a visit to her residence. So. I accompanied by two of my friends took a journey by train from Jamalpur to Dhaka. We bought our tickets and got into the train at 5 a.m. It was an inter-city train. It stopped only at Mymensingh and then reached Dhaka, We had an exciting experience of the journey. The train was not very crowded. We enjoyed the mild jerking of the train and the rhythmic sounds of the wheels. We also enjoyed various scenes on the both sides of the railway line. They seemed to be running in the opposite direction. Houses, trees, bridges and stations came and vanished in the twinkling of an eye. All these were worth seeing and enjoying. We enjoyed them very much. The memory of the journey will remain ever fresh in my mind.

A Paragraph on A Journey by Air

A journey by air is thrilling and at the same time enjoyable. A few days ago, I made such a journey from Dhaka to Chittagong, It was December 23, 2002. I arrived at the Zia International Airport, Dhaka, about an hour before the flight. An airport officer checked my ticket and did all other formalities for the flight. At about 8:30 a.m. I boarded the plane with other fellow passengers. When all the passengers were in, the plane took off. Soon the plane started flying high above the land at full speed towards the destination. Looking through the window I saw patches of clouds floating around the plane. The houses and trees below were looking like tiny toys. Rivers flowing below appeared to be thin lines drawn on a sheet of paper. I was beside myself in joy in such a amazing situation. It was a short journey. In less than an hour the plane reached Chittagong Airport, It gradually came down and landed smoothly. Thus my first but happy and enjoyable journey came to an end. Although I felt a little nervous at the beginning, I got it over after a short while. I really enjoyed the journey.

A Paragraph on A Village Fair

A village fair is a large gathering of men, women and children on a particular occasion. People of all ages specially the children eagerly wait for this happy occasion. A village fair is usually held once a year either on the first or on the last day of the Bengali year. It is generally held on the bank of a river or a canal, in front of a Temple or a Darghah or under the shade of a big spreading banyan tree. A village fair is an exhibition of the village products. People of different professions such as potters, carpenters, blacksmiths, weavers and others bring their own hand-made products in the fair for display and sale. Various fancy goods such as toys, whistles, combs, hairpins, cosmetics, looking glasses, earthen wares, balloons, etc. are also brought for sale in the fair. In addition to these, different kinds of sweets and seasonal fruits are sold in the fair. Some special and attractive arrangements are also made in the fair to attract and amuse the people. These are magic shows, circus, puppet shows, mock fights, jatra, jarigan etc. A village fair really appears before the villagers with all opportunities for joy and merriment. It gives them much relief amidst their toilsome life.

A Paragraph on A Baishakhi Mela

A Baishakhi mela which is a regular gathering of people is held every year in the month of Baishakh. The mela holds the image of rural Bangladesh. It is one of the chief attractions of village life. Stalls of various things and articles of daily use are set up in a mela. Traditional handicrafts, bamboo flutes, potteries, wooden things are available in these stalls, funny goods, sweetmeats, dolls, toys etc. are also sold in the mela. Men, women and children come to the mela in large numbers to enjoy themselves. Women and children are found busy in buying things after their choice. Grown up people buy things of household needs and stationery goods. Cultural functions of the traditional Bangla folk-song, jaree, bhawaia, etc. are often held there. Sometimes, circus parties and magic shows become the special attractions of the mela. The mela lasts for throughout the month of Baishakh. Now the Baishakhi mela is also held in towns and cities which establishes a relationship between a village life and a city life. The mela is regarded as a great source of joy and happiness to the people.

A Paragraph on An Ideal Teacher

A teacher who absolutely devotes himself to the task of teaching his students is called an ideal teacher. An ideal teacher is a very renowned person in the society. He dispels the darkness of ignorance from the minds of his students and enkindles the light of education in them. He helps his students in learning their lessons. Through his teachings he makes them clever and brings about a desirable change in their behaviour. He teaches them to follow the path of truth and avoid the path of vice. He applies all his technique and methods to build up the character of his students. He is in fact, a friend, philosopher and guide to the students. Moreover, he is thoroughly a sincere and an honest man. This is why he is considered as one of the most important persons in the society. He is regarded as a guardian of civilization.

A Paragraph on An Ideal Student

There are many students studying in different institutions in our country. But only a few of them may be called as ideal ones. An ideal student should have such good qualities as would attract other students to follow him. He should be punctual and well disciplined. He does not waste his time and energy in anything other than his studies. He learns his lessons well, goes to school regularly and does his works properly. Besides these, an ideal student is polite and well behaved with all both inside and outside of his institution. His polite and gentle behaviour along with academic excellence makes him dear to teachers and students. Moreover, an ideal student is co-operative and helpful to his friends as well as to the members of his family. He respects his teachers, parents and superiors. An ideal student refrains himself from all sorts of evil deeds. So, it should be the endeavour of all students to be ideal ones.

A Paragraph on Air Pollution

Air is one of the most important elements in our environment. No creature can live without air. It is called the life-giving force. But this air sometimes gets polluted and becomes a threat to our life. Air is polluted in various ways. The most common agent that pollutes air is smoke. Smoke of all kinds pollutes air. Man makes fire for cooking food, burning refuse, melting pitch etc. Thus they create smoke which mixes with air and pollutes it. Railway engines, mills and factories, buses, cars, trucks, steamers, launches and automobiles use coal, petrol and diesel to make energy. When these are burnt they create smoke and air gets polluted. The most serious air pollution occurs in big industrial areas where there are many big mills and factories. Again air pollution happens in big cities where many buses, trucks and cars ply along the streets every day. With a view to ensuring a healthier and happier life for all, we must keep air free from pollution. By abstaining from making smoke or at least minimizing its creation we can control air pollution to some extent. Above all, it is our strong civic sense that can act as the vanguard against air pollution.

A Paragraph on Water Pollution

Water is an important element in our environment. No creature can live without it. It isessential for life. But polluted water is harmful to it. Water is polluted in many ways. Our farmers use chemical fertilizers in their fields to grow get better crops. They use insecticides to kill the harmful insects that damage their crops. These are sometimes washed away into the rivers, canals and ponds and get mixed with water and pollute it. Sometimes, mills and factories throw their waste products containing poisonous chemicals into rivers and canals and pollute water. Again, launches and steamers and even sailboats pollute water by throwing burnt oil, food waste and human waste into the rivers. Often human waste and filth from the insanitary latrines and kutchha drains run into the rivers and canals and ponds and thus pollute water. Polluted water causes various kinds of diseases and sometimes causes death. So, we must prevent the pollution of water in order to live a healthier and happier life.

A Paragraph on A Day-Labourer

A day-labourer is a very common person in our society. Generally he has no land and property of his own. He exchanges his manual labour on the basis of daily payment. He works in different fields according to his strength and ability. He rises early in the morning and goes out in search of work. He works hard from dawn to dusk for his employer and gets his wages at the end of the day. He is absolutely dependent on his daily work. "No work, no wages"— such is the fate of a day-labourer. If he gets more work, he earns more. When he earns more, he and his children can eat to their hearts' content. When he doesn't get any work, he and his family have to go without food. Really the life of a day-labourer is a painful one in our country. He works hard all day long but he can hardly make his both ends meet. Sorrows and sufferings are his constant companions. He can hardly enjoy peace and happiness. His misery knows no bounds when he gets ill. It is true that the rich and privileged class of the society do not evaluate his services properly. It is our duty to recognize his services and do something for him so that he may live a decent life with dignity.

A Paragraph on A Railway Station

A railway station is an important place in the system of railway communication. It is a place where trains stop to take in and to drop down passengers and goods. It remains busy almost all the time of the day and night. Every station has one or more than one platform so that the passengers can easily get in or get down from the trains. In every station there is at least a long building, which is called station house. The building has several rooms which are used as a hooking office, ticket counters, waiting rooms for passengers. Besides, there are rooms for stationmaster, guards and other officials and so on. The stationmaster is all in all in a station. He is assisted by a number of staffs, railway police and guards. The passengers collect their tickets from the ticket counter before the arrival of the train. When a train arrives, the whole station area turns into a noisy place. Some passengers hurry to get down from the train, at the same time passengers waiting for the trains want to get on it. At this time coolies are also found busy carrying luggage of the passengers. As soon as the train leaves, the station sinks into silence and turns into a deserted place.

A Paragraph on A Bus Stand

A bus stand is a very busy place. Buses stop here for a few minutes so that passengers can get in and get down from the buses. There are some bus-stands in a city or a town. Passengers are always found waiting at these stands. When a bus comes and stops at such a stand, there is an unusual bustle and hurry among the passengers. Some passengers hurry to get down from the bus, while the others want to get into it. As a result, there is a great collision among the passengers. In such a situation the old and the weak find it difficult to get into or get down. The situation often goes so far that it seems passengers are fighting with one another to get in or, to get down first. Taking advantages of this, pickpockets sometimes pick the pockets of the passengers. Moreover, shouts of coolies, conductors, bus helpers make the place more noisy These are the usual sights of a bus stand during the busy hours of the day. Besides these, hawkers are often found busy selling their goods like cigarettes, betel-leaves, newspapers, fruits etc.

A Paragraph on The Uses of Radio in Our Day to Day Life

Radio is one of the wonders of modern science. It provides us with the day to day news and views of home and abroad. Sitting before a radio set, we can know what happens in different parts of the world. Apart from giving news, it gives us information about weather. It is an excellent means of recreation. After day's work, sitting before a radio set, we can enjoy various enjoyable programs such as games and sports like football, cricket, tennis etc. held in various parts of the world. It cheers us with its musical programs too. Besides music, we can also enjoy dramas through radio, which are equally entertaining. It is also one of the best media of advertisements. Information about new products is brought before the notice of millions of people in a few seconds through it. Besides these. the radio air special programs for special listeners like students, farmers, children, women. housewives, laborers, soldiers and so on. It's really a unique gift of science to modern civilization and culture. If we can use it properly it can bring infinite good for us.

A Paragraph on The Railway Porter

If you visit a railway station, you will have seen a railway porter there. You can easily mark him in a crowd as he generally wears a red turban. He carries the luggage of the passengers. He is a very useful person at the railway station. He rises early in the morning and goes to the railway station. When a train arrives at the station, he is found moving from one compartment to another to carry the luggage of the passengers. A railway porter is a poor and helpless man. Generally he has no land and property of his own. He earns his living by carrying luggage of the passengers and by loading and unloading goods of the train. He works hard but earns less. "No work, no wages"— is the fate of a railway porter. If he gets more works, he earns more. When he earns more, he and his children can eat to their hearts' content. When he doesn't get any work, he and his family have to go without food. Sorrows and sufferings are his constant companions. He can hardly enjoy peace and happiness. We should feel pity on him.

A Paragraph on The Tiger

The tiger is a wild and ferocious animal. It has a strong body with a big mouth and sharp teeth. It has sharp claws that help it to catch its prey. Its jaws are so strong that it can easily crush a human skull like an eggshell. It lives in jungles and deep forests. In our country it is found in the Sundarbans which are the abode of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The Royal Bengal Tiger is famous for its beauty and strength. The tiger lives on flesh of the animals like deer, buffaloes and wild pigs. When it is hungry it kills an animal to satisfy its hunger. It is a nocturnal animal. It sleeps by day and goes out a hunting an hour or two before dusk. The tiger is really a dangerous animal. It kills a man when he happens to come on his way. That is why, the tiger hunters are very careful and alert when they go out on hunting in the forest.
