A composition: A Journey You Have Made/A Journey by Bus/A Journey by Train

Sitakunda Tour - 2020

Journeys are always adventurous and dreamy to me. It gives me the real pleasure. It always gives me some opportunities to discover something new and unknown facts. It keeps my mind fresh and festive out of this modern busy life. So, whenever I get an opportunity to make a journey, my heart just fills up with joys. Fortunately, I got an opportunity to make a journey by bus/train from Dhaka to Chattagram in the last summer vacation with my friends.

On the day of 1^st June in this year, I and some of my friends reached the station/bus stand at 6 am. We bought the tickets for Chattagram and then started waiting for our train/bus. The bus/train reached on time. So we got into the bus/train and our journey finally began. We became so excited that we started chilling and yelling. My psyche started leaping in excitement. All of my friends also started sharing their feelings with each other.

Luckily, I got seat by the window. The seats of the bus/train were very comfortable. Our train started moving slowly at the beginning. But after a while, it started moving fast. We I always kept my eyes on the nature through the window. I started noticing that the train was moving ahead but leaving other things outside behind. The nature was looking so mesmerizing. We all enjoyed the beauty of green fields, the rivers, the birds and countryside. I could not close eyes for a single moment. We brought some snacks with us to enjoy the moment more.

We reached our destination after a very long journey. We were kind of tired when we got down from the train/bus. So we decided to take some rest in our hotel room. After taking rest, we went to Sitakunda and got fascinated by the beauty of it. We got charmed with the beauty of hills and lush green surroundings. We ascended the famous hill called Chandranath Hill and visited the temple on top of it. We also visited the sea beach.

The journey was really enjoyable and pleasing to us. I enjoyed every part of it. This journey will be one of the most memorable journeys in my life forever.

If you want to have a good command in English, you need to learn grammar rules and enrich your vocabularies. Grammar will help you to write English correctly and vocabularies will help you to use the correct words. Then you have to practice regularly to be fluent. Remember, fluency only depends on your practice. Nowadays, fluency has become kind of mandatory to get a good job. You can also write English pages regularly to develop your writing skills. To develop your listening skills, you can listen to radio, TV, music and watch English movies etc. Last of all, you need to read English books, newspapers, magazines etc. which will make easier to learn English.

Answer:

Jamalpur

10th March, 2020

Dear Max,

It is a very long since you wrote to me but hope you are doing great. I was planning to write this letter earlier but I was busy. I wish I could meet you face to face. But I request you to come and meet me soon. However, it is truly shocking to know that you have become a chain smoker. I know you are quite sensible and learned. So, I think you could easily realize the drastic effect of smoking. It damages our lungs, brains and causes cancer, heart attack etc. Besides, it sometimes drives a smoker to committing suicide. I will be glad if you give up smoking and start a new life.

No more today. Please write to me as soon as possible.

December 20, 2019

Dear Jack,

I got your letter yesterday.  Hope you are all well. In your letter, you wanted to know about my first day at school. Now, I am going to write about it.

The first day at my school is still vivid in my life. It was 2000 when I was five years old. One day, my mom told me that I was going to start my school. I was very exited. I had a mixed feeling of fear and joy. In the next morning, I went to school with my beloved mother. I was then admitted to class one. Then the Head-master took me to the class and introduced me to every student. I made my new friends and had a lot of fun all day long. I will never forget that moment. It is a red letter day in my life. 

No more today. Give my due respects to your parents and love to your younger.

A beggar who begs to stand by a street is called a street beggar. He is usually found in busy towns and cities. How often wears torn, dirty and patched clothes. A street beggar may be lame, blind or dumb. He usually carries a vessel in his hands. He tries to draw the attention of the passers-by uttering painful words. He usually recites from the holy Qur’an and tries to stir the religious sentiments of the passers-by. Many passers-by feel pity and sympathy for him and give him coins. He receives the coins with a grateful heart and wishes a peaceful life for him. The income of a street beggar is not enough for him to keep body and soul together. A street beggar is a social parasite. He gives nothing to the society but brings a slur on the nation. The removal of the beggary from society is the crying need of the day.

Leisure means free time with no particular activities. People usually spend their leisure doing recreational actives. But these actives vary from person to person, society to society and country to country. The village people spend their leisure by gossiping, swimming, fishing etc. But city people spend their leisure read books, visit places, play video games and many others. I usually spend my leisure through drawing and painting. I also go out for walks. Sometimes, I go swimming in the river. It keeps me fit. So leisure removes the monotony everyday life. It gives us energy to handle our routine based work. Thus, we should enjoy our leisure.

I have many hobbies. But reading books is my favorite hobby. Books are called the best friends. They are the source of information and huge knowledge. There are different kinds of books available for different fields like Science, Astronomy, Stories etc. I like to read science fiction, detective stories of the world. I have read many books. Among those books, my favorite book is Feluda. It is written by Indian Bengali Film director and writer Satyajit Ray. Prodosh Chandra Mitra is known as Feluda. He is a famous Bengali detective with strong power of observation and intuition. Feluda is known to be a good sleight-of-hand and he put that skill to solve couple of cases. He is also good at disguises. Books can be interesting according to the interest of the readers. I am always interested in knowing the mysteries of the universe. That's why I liked this book. I also enjoyed a lot while reading this book. 

There is a flag in every independent nation. It implies the independence and sovereignty of a free country. As our country, Bangladesh is a free nation, so she has got a flag of her own. We the people in this country feel proud because it means that our country is free and sovereign. It always reminds us of the valiant struggle of the freedom fighters of our country. The shape of our flag is rectangular and the proportion of it is 10:6. It is hoisted everyday on top of the governmental buildings and educational institutions. It is also everywhere on the occasions of our national days like impendence day, victory day etc. But the flag is kept half mast on the days of our national mourning. There are two colors of our flag and they are red and green. The red color is the symbol of the Sacrifices and the green color is the symbol of the youth. We salute the national flag and remember the supreme sacrifices of our freedom fighters. It also reminds us that we are the citizens of a free country.

Digital Bangladesh is now a buzz word in our country. The word ‘digital’ is an adjective of the word ‘digit’ that means information, music, image etc. using computer technology. The process of digitalization is to train people on computer technology. It also involves the implementation of e-commerce, e-government etc. It is not an easy task to digitalize our country. Because, there are many problems behind it. The main problem is illiteracy. Most of the people are illiterate in our country. So, we have to educate the people. Corruption is also one of the major problems in our country. So, we need to take proper steps to remove this problem. We also need to develop the infrastructure in our country. We need to give information to the people about digital Bangladesh. Above all, if we digitalize our country, we can get all the services easily through the computer or internet. We also can get all the facilities of rich and middle income countries.

A school magazine is a magazine that contains writings of the teachers and students of a school. It is a kind of periodical publication. Almost every famous school publishes a magazine every year. It reveals a number of genius personalities of both students and teachers. Well, we are the students of a renowned school called Jamalpur Zilla School, Jamalpur. Our school also publishes a magazine every year named School News. It contains poems, articles, games, annual picnic and short stories written by the students and teachers. It has the field of literacy, history, science, social activities etc. It is not an easy task to publish a magazine. The editors of this magazine have to work hard. There is also a magazine committee in our school. There are four teachers and six students in this committee. One teacher and one student act as proof reader. Above all, our school magazine encourages all the students and teachers to show their latent talents. It also makes us happy when we find our own writings in this magazine. It is like a mirror of the literary work of the students and the teachers. We are really proud of our school magazine.

The Problem of Load Shedding

Load shedding is one of the major problems in cities and towns nowadays. It also becomes a buzz word in Bangladesh at present. It means the suspension of supply of electricity for short or long period of time. It occurs where there is a connection of electricity. There are several reasons behind the load shedding. The insufficient production of electricity is considered to be the main reason of it. Misuse of electricity is another big reason and the illegal connection is also responsible for it. So the common people can’t use the electricity in a proper way. It causes many other problems too. Mills, factories, shops, hospitals, houses and educational institutions are the main victims to it. Mills & factories are decreasing day by day due to load shedding. All the foods in refrigerator get rotten due to it. Students suffer much because they can’t study properly even if there is exam. Operations get stopped in hospital due to load shedding. In a nut shell, load shedding causes great sufferings to the common people. Moreover, load shedding affects the economy of our country. If government takes proper steps, then it can be solved very soon. We the common people should also be aware of it.
