Road Accident

When a vehicle collides with another in the road is called road accident. It is a common phenomenon in our country. Road accident is increasing by leaps and bounds day by day. It is the most gruesome of the daily occurrences.

Road accidents occur primarily owing to the reckless driving of the drivers. They often go almost mad to overtake without caring for traffic rules and regulations. Road accident can causes irreparable loss and injure anyone badly. Sometimes it takes a toll of great many valuable lives.

The effect of road accident is pathetic. A little mistake can cause a lot of tears to anybody. Somebody looses his/her dear and near ones forever. Pedestrians are the worst sufferers. They are often run over by the wheel while crossing the road.

However steps should be taken to make sure drivers abide by traffic rules. Exemplary punishment should be meted out to those who are held responsible for road accidents. The old vehicles should not allow playing in the road.

Pedestrians should be encouraged to use the footpath and over bridge while crossing the road. The people from all walks of life should come forward to tackle the problem jointly. Last of all, the government should lunch a programme to tackle it and enforce law and order strictly to curb road accidents.

 

The Importance of Learning English

English is an International Language. True to say that the world cannot go for a single day without English. It is widely spoken and written language in the world. Most of the records, documents and particulars are written in English. All the journals, magazines, articles and papers are also written in English. So without knowing English it is quite impossible for us to know the latest information, invention and new discoveries. The world is running so fast. We know that it is the age of information, communication technology and science. All the internet activities are conducted in English. To connect with the other person of the world within a moment, to send any application, document and other writing material there is other language but English. In order to keep pace with the world there is no other alternative to learning English. As a smart, modern, civilized and wise person one should learn English. Not only this, but also to be a higher educated person English is a must. If we want to earn vast knowledge and higher education in any branch, we are to take help from the books which are written in English. It is clear to us that the world seeks the person who knows English well. He can easily get service, mix with the other persons, enjoys more opportunities than others. Moreover, it helps a man to get a good job easily. An expert person in English can easily earn vast wealth by using English. So if we don’t know English, we will fail to keep pace with the progressive force of the world. Many foreign guests and delegates come to our country. They don’t know our mother tongue. So we need to learn English to communicate with them. From this we can say that we need to learn English to join the advanced and developed world. So we should be very serious and sincere about learning English as an emergency basis.

A Railway station

National flag

 

National flag always represents the independence of a country. A national flag is the symbol of independence of a nation. Every nation of world has a national flag of its own. Being a free nation, we have a national flag of our own. The national flag is the symbol of our national integrity, solidarity and sovereignty. We achieved our national flag at the cost of a sea of blood in 1971. Our national flag is very beautiful to look at. It is rectangular in size. The size of our national flag is 10:6. It is made of cotton, linen or silk. There are two colours of our national flag. One is red and another is green. The green colour of it symbolize for everlasting youth, freshness and vigour of the nation. It also symbolizes the greenery of Bangladesh. The red colour symbolizes the rising sun of independence with new hopes and aspiration of a new nation. The flag is hoisted everyday on top of our important government buildings and educational institutions. It is hoisted everywhere on the Independence Day and the victory day. Our national flag is the source of our spirit, hopes and aspiration. So we must defend its glory, purity, existence and prestige at any cost.

A Traffic Jam

When too many vehicles try to move along a street or a road at a time, it is called traffic jam. It is a common scenery and great problem in big cities and towns in our country. There are many reasons of it. One of the reasons of it is that our existing roads and streets are narrow. Secondly, lots of rickshaws that ply on the roads and streets often block the roads and create traffic jam. As most of the rickshaw-pullers are illiterate and ignorant of traffic rules. They often break the traffic rules and create traffic jam. Again most of the drivers of the cars and buses in our country drive their vehicles at their sweet will, which is another cause of traffic jam. Wrong parking and unnecessary overtaking of vehicles are also responsible for traffic jam. Owing to traffic jam, people have to wait on the roads for several hours. It kills their valuable time and hampers their work. Many people fail to attend their office and workplace in time. It causes great sufferings to a serious patient being carried in an ambulance to hospitals and clinics. We want to get rid of this problem. To overcome the problem, the existing narrow roads and streets should be broadened. One way movement of vehicles should be introduced and flyovers have to be constructed in certain areas where traffic jam occurs. Beside these, the traffic authority needs to be more careful to enforce traffic rules. Above all, everybody should follow the traffic rules in order to avoid the traffic jam.  

Tree plantation

 

“Give back the forest, take your town’’, Says  Rabindranath Tagore. By these lines he tries to convince us about the importance of trees. We are closely associated with trees. Tree plantation means planting trees more and more. It is not possible to lead and happy peaceful life without trees.  There is ample of a forestation in Bangladesh. Sea beaches, low laying areas can be brought under the scheme of a forestation. Tree plays an important role in our daily life. They are used for different purposes. In order to live we need oxygen. Trees give us that oxygen. They give us food and fruits. They also provide of shelter. We get timber from trees and without timber we cannot make houses, furniture, boats, launches etc. Trees also prevent air pollution. Without trees land becomes a desert. Trees protect the country from the harmful green house effect. To preserve our environment we should plant more and more trees. Tree plantation programmer should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. Government should take necessary steps to make the people interested in planting trees. For this reason government should make T.V or, radio programmer on the subjects of a forestation. It is a matter of joy that the government of our country makes a massive campaign of tree plantation every year. Trees are part and parcel of our life. The necessity of trees and the importance of tree plantation cannot be ignored in any way. So it is our burden duty to plant trees and take care of them.

He tries his best to draw the sympathy of the passers-by with his peculiar voice. Sometimes he is seen reciting some sentences of the Holly Quran or the Kalema and asks for money in the name of Allah and his holly prophet. As soon as a passer-by coming, a beggar stretches out his hand or begging bowl for help. Someone takes pity on him and gives a coin or two and go on his way. Again, someone becomes disgusted with his loud shouts and avoids him. A street beggar usually gets a small amount. Infect, he leads a hard and miserable life.  Begging encourages idleness and immorality. That is why many countries of the world street begging is forbidden. Our government should take necessary steps to uproot this disgraceful habit from the country as soon as possible.

Winter Morning

 

There are six seasons in our country. The winter is one of them. The Bengali months- ‘Poush’ and ‘Magh’ are called winter season. A winter morning is misty and cold.  It is pleasant to the rich but curse to the poor. There is dense fog everywhere. Things at distance can hardly be seen. Everything looks hazy. Sometimes the fog is so dense that the sun rays cannot get through it. The whole nature is covered with mist and fog. Dew drops fall on the grasses. The sun seems to rise late. Children and old people are afraid of the pinching cold of the morning. They get up from bed when the sun rises. The birds fell happy to see the sun rays of the sun. Children and old people gather straw and make fire to warm themselves. They bask in the sun. Some people come out to sell date juice. In the winter morning people like to eat Chira, Muri, Khai and many kinds of cakes. During the holidays a winter morning is enjoyable. One can enjoy sweet, delicious cake made of “Patali” in the morning. In the village also everybody is busy. The village woman feed cows hot water. They give food to children. The scene of the winter morning gradually vanishes as the day advances. The sun goes up, fog melts away. People go to their own work. So the scenery of winter morning seems to be charming.

A farmer

A farmer is a very important person in our country. Generally a farmer lives in a village. His house is made of corrugated iron sheets or straws. In our country the life of a farmer is not so good. He is illiterate. He does not know how to cultivate his land scientifically. He earns his livelihood by the sweat his brow. He gets up very early in the morning. Then he takes a little breakfast.

Load shedding

 

Load shedding has become a regular affair in our country. Load shedding means the suspension of the supply of electricity for a certain period. The causes of load shedding are many. The production of electricity is less than we need. Misuse of electricity is the main cause of electricity. Illegal connection of electricity is also responsible for load shedding. On the other hand, government is not sincere to produce to produce electricity in proportion to our demand. Again the number of mills and factories, offices, houses, shopping centers, hospitals, educational institutions etc. is increasing day by day. It is also a reason for load shedding.  Load shedding causes great sufferings to the people and great loss to the country. At that time, A.C. lights, fans etc. cannot function. At night there is complete darkness. People cannot work ease in shops, offices and cannot function normally. In summer we cannot sleep. We sweat in heat. Children, old people and patients suffer much. Due to load shedding even operations are stopped. Students suffer most. They cannot read and take preparation for their examinations. Due to load shedding production in mills and factories is decreased. Fresh food taken in the refrigerator gets rotten. National production decreased. As a result the situation of load shedding is becoming very serious.  But as a civilized nation we should not let load shedding continue. So the government and the people should work hand and hand for getting rid of load shedding by producing more electricity. On the other hand, our government should take immediate steps to remove this problem from our national life.
