A JOURNEY BY BUS

A journey is always pleasant to me. Whenever I get an opportunity, I visit different places. I am very fond of travelling by bus. Last month I made a journey by bus which was very enjoyable .
It was the month of December. My annual examination was over and I got a vacation. My parents decided to pay a visit to my uncle’s home at Kushtia. I was very glad to hear the news. We went there by bus.
On the fixed day, we started for Kushtia. We reached Gabtoli bus terminal early in the morning. Father bought the tickets the day before. We got on the bus and an attendant helped us to find our seats. I got my seat beside the window. Our bus started at 8.30 am.
It was a sunny day. The sky was clear. At first the bus was moving slowly. Then it began running at a high speed. When we left the din and bustle of the city behind, the green Bangla welcomed us with all its beauty. I enjoyed beautiful green fields, orchards, and trees on the both sides of the highway.
We were passing Jahangirnagar University. I looked outside and found the university campus full of green trees and beautiful scenery. The bus was moving ahead leaving behind the trees, houses, paddy fields on the both sides of the road. It seemed to me that things like trees, houses were running behind. After two hours, we reached Paturia Ferry ghat. We had to cross the river ‘Padma’ by ferry. Our bus waited sometime for ferry and then got on it. The ferry started to move. I got down from the bus and went to the top of the ferry. From there I looked at the mighty Padma. There was water around us. I was thrilled. There were some hawkers selling various things like fruits, tobacco, muri, chanachur and other things on the ferry. It took half an hour to cross the river. I got on the bus again. The bus started to run again. We reached Goalondo after a few minutes. Then our bus took a turn and we entered Rajbari District within an hour. There our bus stopped for a tea-break for 20 minutes. We took some snacks there. Then the bus started its journey again. We crossed the town and our bus was running along the road through villages. I saw many huts, houses, canals, orchards, green fields on the way. Really it was a charming scenery. Our bus reached Kushtia at 1pm. My uncle came to the bus stand to receive us. We got down and went to our uncle’s home. Thus the journey came to an end. I enjoyed it very much.

A JOURNEY BY BOAT

A journey by boat is comfortable and peaceful. Bangladesh is a riverine country. During the rainy season most of the areas of the country go under water. So people have to go from one place to another by boat. It is an enjoyable journey.
Last winter I got an opportunity to enjoy such a journey. It was the month of December. After annual examination I thought of going to my uncle’s house at Mirjapur in Netrokona. Some of my friends agreed. We were five in number. We hired a boat. There were two young and active boatmen.
The boat started from our ghat at 2 pm. A gentle breeze was blowing. It was a nice afternoon. The sky was clear. The boatmen pulled oar for sometimes. Then they set sail. We were lucky enough to see this setting sail. The wind was in our favour. So, the boat was passing easily. When the boat reached the Brahmaputra river, the riverine Bangla welcomed us with all its beauty.
There were water everywhere. We were enjoying the natural beauty of our motherland. Different kinds of boats were moving carrying men and goods. It reminded us of the trade and commerce of our glorious past through waterways. Really, it is beyond description. The paddy fields on both the sides of the river looked green. Children were swimming in the river. Women were carrying water with various types of beautiful pitchers. Some fishermen were catching fish. Farmers were reaping corns and singing songs.
In the afternoon the boat reached a market. We halted there and purchased (wKbjvg) something to eat. The boat started again. It was about sunset. My heart was filled with joy to see the setting sun . The beauty of the golden sunset on the calm water of the river made a pleasant sight. The moon rose with her pale silvery beams. The river presented a beautiful scene. It was now seven o’clock in the evening. We reached the destination. Some of my cousins were waiting for us. They received us cordially. It was a pleasant experience to us. It will remain evergreen in my heart.

A JOURNEY BY TRAIN

A journey by train is always enjoyable to me. This journey is undoubtedly a delightful as well as an exciting one.
It was the month of April. I made a Journey by train. My school was closed for summer vacation. I along with my parents, brother and sister went to visit one of our relatives. This journey was from Jessore to Chuadanga. My father bought tickets the day before.
On that appointed day we reached the Jessore Railway Station at 9.00 am. I saw the station. It was very crowded. There were a number people moving and sitting on the platform. There were also coolies and noises of hawkers at the station. When the train came, we got into a compartment. Fortunately, I found my seat beside a window. After sometime, the train started moving.
I was feeling excited. I looked inside the compartment and noticed that some of the passengers were dozing, some were reading newspapers and some were gossiping. As the train came out of Jessore City, green field welcomed us with all its beauty. The train was moving ahead through the green fields on both the sides. I became very glad to see that.
The train was running at a full speed through green paddy fields. There were jute and soyabean plants here and there. They were tossing their heads in the breeze.
The train was running at a full speed. The train was an intercity train. It did not stop at any stations. We had crossed many big and small stations. After sometime, some waiters came to us with some snacks. We had taken some of them. Hawkers come up to us with their good for sale. I looked out the window and enjoyed the different scenes of my motherland.
At about 11.30 am we reached our destination. We got down from the train. My uncle received us at the station. The journey was safe and sound as well as pleasing. I enjoyed it very much. It was one of the most memorable days in my life.

MY VISIT TO A PLACE OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

Bangladesh is a small country but it has many historical places. I visited only some of these eye-catching places. Mahasthangarh is one of the famous historical places in Bangladesh. Last year I got an opportunity to visit Mahasthangarh in Bogra. It is wellknown for a famous Buddhist monastery.
It stands on the western bank of the Korotoa. It is a few kilometers away from Bogra town. When we reached Mahasthangarh, a glorious part of our past civilization opened up before our eyes. This place was known as Pundranagar. Pundranagar was the capital of the Mouryas, Guptas, Senas and other Hindu dynasties. It was a very developed city. It was about 2000 metres long and 1500 metres wide. This city was fenced around by a wall. We entered into the monastery and saw some elevated places that soothed our eyes. I was impressed to see the natural sights. These elevated places are known as ‘Vitas’, ‘Kundas’, ‘Gous’ and ‘Dhaps’.
After that we visited the ghat of Kankabati near the elevated places and then the mazar of Shah Sultan Balkhi Mahi Sawar. This impressed me about the religious harmony of our past civilization. Then we went to the museum at Mahasthangarh. The relics of the past have been kept in the museum. We saw some images, dice, ornaments and pots there. These relics reminded us of our rich old history. I became astonished to learn about our rich culture and heritage.
Visiting a historical place is pleasing and educative as well. It was a great pleasure for me to visit such a famous historical place. It was a new experience in my life. I will remember the day as long as I live.
The best way to go to Mahasthangarh is by road from Dhaka. It usually takes about 5 hours to get there.

MY DAILY LIFE

Daily life means how we spend our time in our day-to-day life. We pass our days doing different things. To make our life meaningful, we have to follow a routine in our everyday life. So I try to follow a routine in order to reach my goal.
My day starts early in the morning. Then I wash myself and say morning prayer. After that the morning begins with a cup of tea. Then I go out for a walk in the open air for twenty minutes. After coming back home, I have my breakfast and then sit down to study for two hours. After that I take a shower and meal. After taking meal I brush my teeth and get ready for school.
My school begins at 11 am. I attend my classes regularly. During tiffin time I say my Zohar prayer and then have some light snacks. Then I go to the common room and enjoy some indoor games such as chess, table-tennis, etc with my friends. After that I attend my class again.
My school finishes at 4 pm. Then I come back home, wash myself and take some rest. After that I take some tiffin and go to field to play with my friends. I love football but table-tennis is my favorite game.
I come back home from field at sunset. Then I say my evening prayer and then go to my study at 7.30 pm. I study there about two hours. Then I have my supper with my family members and enjoy TV programmes. Sometimes I enjoy T.V. programmes in the midst of my study. This does not hamper my studies at all. I go to bed at 11 pm. And before going to bed I brush my teeth carefully.
I follow this routine everyday. But it’s different on holidays and vacations. On holidays I visit my friends and relatives. Besides, I enjoy films and stage-dramas with my families. Sometimes, I visit different places with my family.
My daily routine does not make me monotonous. Rather it inspires me to do all these activities. I think this will greatly help me to achieve my goal.

MY AIM IN LIFE

An aimless man is like a ship without a rudder. In the same way a man cannot reach his goal without an aim. So everyman should have a definite aim.
I have also an aim in life. My aim in life is to be a teacher. After considering all the professions and occupations, I have decided to become a teacher. My parents and teachers have given their consent to my choice. I want to give light of education to the people. So that they can work for the betterment of this nation.
There are many reasons for choosing the profession of a teacher. Everybody knows that teaching is an honourable profession. Secondly, it is an honest career. It is a great profession through which I can give the light of education. It is also a profession of spreading power because knowledge is power. No nation can progress in life without education.
Ignorance is a curse for the society. And it is only the teacher who can remove this curse. So I have decided to serve the ignorant people of our country.
To fill up my aim in life I should be graduate first. Then I have to take training on teaching. In this way I will be able to be a teacher. I will convey knowledge to the illiterate people of our country through teachership.
The villagers of our country are largely deprived of education. Most of the students of our village are not able to get proper education. Their parents are not so much educated. They cannot give their children proper guide line. So as a teacher I want to serve the society. I wish one day I will become successful.
A teacher is called the anchor of a nation. A teacher nourishes the latent talents of the students and tries to make them a A-one useful citizens of the country. As a teacher I want to contribute to this nation building process.

MY FAVORITE HOBBY

Hobby means a strong interest in something. It gives us both pleasure and refreshment. Without a hobby a man cannot enjoy his leisure. Hobby is the prerequisite for a sound mind and a sound health. So it is necessary to enjoy life.
Different persons have different taste and choice. It varies from person to person.

I have also some hobbies of my own. They are travelling, reading books and listening to music. But I must mention that my favorite hobby is gardening.

Everyday I visit my garden. In the morning I weed out the grass and water the plants. On holiday many people come to visit my garden.
I also grow various kinds of vegetables in one corner of my garden. The garden also looks very charming.
My hobby gives me a great source of joy and pleasure. It relieves me from my routine bored work. It helps me forget sorrows and sufferings. It makes my body strong and mind jolly.

Sometimes, he prescribes the poor patients without taking any fees. He remains busy all day long. He earns popularity by means of his politeness and friendly attitude.
A village doctor is not well-off. He cannot enrich his dispensary with all necessary medicines. He supplies only cheap medicines. Sometimes he prescribes wrong medicine to the patient which may lead the patients to death.
A village doctor is the companion of the village people in their joys and sorrows. He is always ready to visit his patients. Even at midnight, he has to go to the patient’s house. He never feels disturbed to do so. He is the most trusted person to the village people in absence of a qualified doctor.
A village doctor does a noble profession. Though he is less qualified, he renders great service to the society. So a village doctor is an useful person to the village people.

NEWSPAPER

A news paper is a kind of paper which contains news and views on different matters and subjects. It tells us what happens at home and around the world. It provides us with the important news. It has become a part and parcel of our modern life.
It is said that newspaper was first published in China and then in England in 18th century. The first newspaper in the Indian sub-continent was the Indian Gazette published in 1774. The Samachar Darpan was the first Bengali Newspaper. It was published by the Christian Missionaries of Sreerampur.
Different kinds of newspapers are available in the market. They are called dailies, weeklies, fortnight, monthlies and periodicals. The dailies contain the news of daily affairs of home and abroad.
They provide the current news and views of the day. The periodicals contain articles, poems, essays and comments on important affairs.
The newspaper is very useful to us. It is called the storehouse of knowledge. It gives us news on national and international affairs. It keeps us informed of the latest discoveries. It can form the public opinion. The government and the general people can express their views to the people through newspaper. It is the best medium of advertisement for the traders. It gives us the news of politics, economics, culture, literature, games and sports of the whole world. People of all classes feel the necessity of newspaper. Reading newspaper increases (e„w× Kiv) our general knowledge. People can learn about the progress of science, literature and arts and rights and duties through newspapers.
There are many English and Bengali dailies in our country. The most read dailies are the Ittefaq, The Prothom Alo, The Jugantor, The Samocal, The Daily Star, etc.
Sometimes newspapers publish false and partial news. It can create chaos among people. Despite this limitation, newspaper has become an important medium of communication. So newspapers should not publish such news that may misguide the nation.

VALUE OF TIME

The value of time is endless which cannot be measured. The success in our life depends on the proper utilization of time. Truely this proper utilization of time is called the value of time.
Human life is short; so within this short span of time we have to do a huge amount of work. If we lose time, it can never be gained. Our success and failure in life totally depend on the proper use of time. If we lose time, it can never be gained. So everybody should use his time properly.
Misuse of time is a great crime. It makes life barren like a desert. If anyone makes proper use of his time, success is bound to come at his doorstep.
The most valuable time of our life is the student life. The value of time to a student is not measurable. So every student should make a division of his time and do his duties accordingly. Then their efforts will be crowned with success. They would be able to march in life and reach the cherished goal of their life.
Wasting of time means the wasting of our life. Nobody should waste any moment idly. Because success depends on the best use of time. If we do not make the right use of our time, we cannot succeed in life. Rather, we will have to drag a miserable condition in our life.
No great work can be done without a strong sense of time. If anyone becomes forgetful of time, it is sure that they will fail to succeed. Life is nothing but a sum total of some moments. If we lose a single moment in our life, we will suffer in the long run. So we should do everything at the right time.
We should not waste our time. Those who have become great in their life have made the proper use of time. Value of time ennobles a person and gives him fame. As we are the best creation of Allah, we should make the proper use of our time.

OBEDIENCE TO PARENTS

Obedience to parents means to obey the orders of our parents. Our parents deserve the highest of regards from us in the world. We have seen the light of the world through our parents. When we were born, we were in a helpless condition. We could not have lived if they had not taken care of us in our infancy. They took care of us when we were children. They watch over us when we are ill and do their best to keep us well and happy. For us they work from morning to night. So it is the duty of every person to obey his parents.
Our parents wish us all the best. They sacrifice their comforts and pleasures for us. So it is a must that we should honour and respect our parents.
We should try to please them in all possible ways. It is our solemn duty to support them in their old age. God is pleased with him who loves and honours his parents. “Heaven lies under the feet of the mother”, says the holy Quran. According to Hindu scripture if the parents are pleased, all the gods and goddesses are pleased.
Lives of great men tell us that they were good sons above everything. Hazrat Bayezid Bostami, Hazrat Abdul Quader Zilani, Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar were the best examples of this sort of obedience.
So if we want to prosper in life, we should love and obey our parents and have our trust in them.

DISCIPLINE

Discipline means obedience to some rules and regulations. The word “Discipline” derives from the Latin word “discipulus” which means a disciple. So discipline is obedience to the rules formed for the regulation of human conduct.
It is a kind of virtue which makes our life successful. It has a great importance in every phases of life. It teaches us obedience to rules forever.
Every thing in this world from the heaven to the earth discipline reigns supreme. We live in society. So we have to abide by social rules for the betterment of the society. The peace, progress, prosperity of a family lies in the obedience to discipline.
In schools, colleges and universities discipline is taught to the student. Students have to follow certain rules of behavior while reading or playing. Lack of discipline among the students disturbs the work of an institution and hampers its progress.
Discipline is strictly maintained by soldiers. It is the part and parcel in the army. For the discipline our soldiers are ready to sacrifice their lives.
Discipline is a must in sports and games. A sportsman must obey the rules of games. A player has to obey the decision of the referee and the captain of the game.
In every home there is a sort of government. All the members of the house obey the rules of the family. A disciplined family leads a happy life.
Discipline is also noticed in human body. The various organs of the body co-operate with one another for the sake of discipline.
Discipline is also found in our religious life also. Every religion follows some certain rules of discipline.
In any organization social, political, religious, economic and educational discipline is essential for its growth and development.
Discipline is badly needed in man’s life. Life without discipline is priceless, uncivilized, full of chaos and anarchy. Finally we can say that life without discipline is nothing but a ship without a rudder. So we all should maintain discipline in all spheres of life.

CRICKET / MY FAVORITE GAME

There are different kinds of games and sports in the world. Cricket is one of the popular games. It is my favorite game.
The field of cricket is circular. There is a pitch in the middle of the field. The part of the pitch where a batsman stands to play is called crease.
The cricket is a bat-and-ball game between two teams of eleven players in each. Two batsmen stand at the two ends of the pitch. One player of opposite team bowls six balls at a time. This is called an over. Two umpires conduct the match. Sometimes third umpire is needed to give the right decision.
Cricket is of three kinds  one day cricket, test cricket and T-20 cricket. It is also divided into two parts: bowling and batting.
Cricket is a very polite and disciplined game. There is no scope of violence in this game. So I like this game most. Moreover, in it there are much fewer chances of colliding with another player. Though this game is costly and time-consuming, its popularity is increasing day by day.
Games and sports are inseparable part in our life. Everybody has a favorite game. So have I and it is cricket.

TEA

Tea is the most popular drink in the present world. It removes our fatigue, refreshes our mind and gives us energy. Tea has become a part and parcel of our daily food habits.
The first tea-growing country is China. Tea also grows in Japan, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka and many other parts of the world. Bangladesh is one of the largest tea-producing countries. She earns a lot of foreign exchange by exporting tea. It has become a cash-crop in our country.
Tea plants grow in the slope of hills. To grow tea-plants excessive rain water is needed. Hill tracts are chosen to grow tea-plants because rain water does not stand there for long time. In our country tea-gardens are found in Sylhet and Chittagong hill tracts. Nowadays tea is also grown in the north region of the country.
A tea-plant is an evergreen shrub. To grow tea-plants, at first the seeds are sown in a nursury. Then the plants are transplanted in the mountain slopes. Tea-plants are planted in rows. They are trimmed down and allowed to grow not more than three or four feet high. As a result they become bushy. When the new leaves and buds come out, they are plucked (†Zvjv nq). They are plucked four times a year. Tea leaves are picked up for the first time in spring. It provides the finest tea.
After picking up tea-leaves are dried in the sun. Then they are rolled over by a machine in the factory and the juice is pressed out. After that they are left spreading on the floor until their colour gets changed. They grow dry and black. Then they are moulded and they become ready for use.
Tea is a refreshing drink. It stimulates our energy and removes our exhaustion. It has got much popularity among people of all avenues of life. It has become an item of modest entertainment. Nowadays, guests are entertained with tea.
As tea is a cash-crop of our country, the govt. should take a hand to grow more and quality tea.

WONDERS OF MODERN SCIENCE

We live in an age of science. The present civilization is the gift of modern science. So the modern world cannot go even for a single day without science.
Electricity is the first wonder of science. Science has conquered the forces of nature and brought them to the services of mankind. We cannot think of modern civilization without electricity. It enlightens our houses and streets. Mills and factories cannot work without electricity. In fact, most of the inventions and discoveries of science work through the power of electricity. We cannot live comfortably without the help of electricity. The telegraph, the telephone and the wireless are also the wonderful inventions of science. They send our messages to distant places in the twinkling of an eye. Radio, cinema, television are the wonders of science. We can hear the news of the whole world through the radio set. Both radio and television are good entertainments. The invention of printing press has helped us acquire knowledge and education. In a television we not only hear the voice of the speaker but also see the motion picture from any part of the world just at the same time.
Modern transport system is a gift of science. Rockets and radars can move faster than sound and help us conquer that space. It has released nuclear energy. Now this energy is used not only for manufacturing atom bomb but also for doing well to human beings.
Science has done miracle in the field of medicine by inventing X-ray, radium, penicillin, vaccines, antibiotics, chloroform, ultra-violet ray, etc. Computer is the latest invention of science. It has become a part of every walk of life. The most significant inventions of science are mobile phone and the Internet.
The use of scientific equipment like tractors and power, pumps and application of fertilizer has increased the production tremendously.
All these inventions of science influence our daily life. These blessings of science have made our life easy and comfortable. Science has made the world smaller. Nowadays science has influenced our life so much that we cannot think of a moment without it.
The wonders of science cannot be described in brief. Wherever we go or stay, we find every possible thing done by science. So the wonders of science prevail everywhere.

TELEVISION

In human history no other invention of modern science has become so popular and entertaining to the people as the television. It is a popular means of communication. We can easily see the pictures and hear the sound in it in a short time sitting at any corner of the world.
John Bayard, an English scientist invented television is 1928. It was invented as a means of entertainment. It became a reality in 1945 after so many experiments on the subject.
The word television comes from the Latin words ‘tele’ which means distance and ‘vision’ which means sight. So ‘television’ literally means the process by which the distant objects can be seen. It is a receiving box which receives the signals, photos and sounds that a television center or station telecasts. This is done by installing a radio-telephone system. In fine, the television is a system which employs mechanical photo electrical and wireless processes for reproducing scenes, objects, etc. at a distance.
Television is now-a-days a very popular instrument both to the children and to grown up people. It is a popular medium of mass communication. People can enjoy cinema, dramas, novels, songs, different cultural programmes on television. It removes our monotony. It also brings us news and views of sports, politics, war, share market, business, science, etc. It is an effective instrument of entertainment and valuable medium of instruction.
Television has its bad side, too. Children often become addicted to enjoying T.V programmes for all day long. It hampers their education. Besides, some sensational programmes can have harmful effects on the moral life of the people.
Though television has some bad effects, we should use it for better purposes. It is now a part and parcel of our day-to-day life.

THE PRIZE-GIVING DAY AT OUR SCHOOL

A prize-giving day is a day of great joy and enthusiasm to the students and the teachers of a school. On this occasion the school wears a festive look. On this day prizes are given to the students for their good results, attendance and their conducts, and for their special performance in various games and sports. Almost every school organises a prize day to distribute prizes among the students.
The last prize-giving ceremony of our school was held on the 25th February, 2015 in a befitting manner.

A POSTMAN

A postman is a person whose job is to collect and deliver letters, parcels, money orders, etc. to the addressees. He is a very known person with his Khaki uniform and a cap on his head. He brings news from our near and dear ones living in home and abroad. He is a most eagerly awaited person to us.
A postman is an employee of the postal department. He is a most familiar figure in a particular area. Everyday he is seen passing through the streets at a particular time. He has a particular area to work there. His day starts with sorting letters, parcels, money orders and making separate bundles out of them for different localities of his area. He puts them into his bag. Then he goes out to deliver the postal articles to the right persons moving from door to door. He takes the signatures of the persons concerned and of the witnesses in cases of delivering registered letters, parcels and money orders.
A postman renders essential services to the people. He is very punctual and dutiful. He performs his duty in good and bad weathers. Carrying a bag on his shoulder, a postman sometimes brings good news and sometimes bad news to us. If he fails to perform his duties properly, it may cause irreparable loss to the persons concerned. A village postman generally delivers the letters or money orders on the market day. He also sells post cards and stamps to the villagers.
A postman plays an important part in our day-to-day life and so he is very dear to the people of his locality. Though he has to walk a long distance everyday and do a heavy duty, he is paid a low salary. So he cannot support his family well. Yet he performs his duty laboriously without any complaint.
As a postman renders a heavy duty, the government should take necessary steps to improve his financial and social status.

The rivers are also used as the waterways. Water-ways are easier, cheaper and more comfortable. Steamers, launches and boats carry men and goods from one part to another in all seasons. Rivers play a significant role in commerce, trade and industry. Most of the towns, cities, trade centres, industries are on the bank of the river. Raw materials and industrials products are carried to different places through these rivers. Some rivers are also used to produce electricity .
Rivers have some demerits also. Sometimes they cause a great damage to our life and property. In the rainy season the rivers overflow their banks and cause flood. They bring untold sufferings to the people.
The rivers have a great influence on the people of our country. Inspite of the little harm, the rivers are useful to us in many ways. They are the source of our health wealth and happiness. So proper steps should be taken to save these rivers as early as possible.

Bangladesh is gifted with many kinds of birds. We do not even know the names of all these birds. They add to the beauty of our country. They are found all over the country. We rise early in the morning hearing the sweet songs of these birds.

FLOODS IN BANGLADESH

Flood is a natural disaster. It occurs due to the overflow of river water. Bangladesh is a low land with many rivers. She also lies in the monsoon region. So flood visits our country almost every year because of excessive rains.
Flood causes for many reasons. Excessive rainfall is the main reasons of flood in our country. Sometimes it rains for several days endlessly. Water overflows the banks of the river and a vast area of land go under water. As a result it causes flood. Flood is also caused by tidal bore from the sea. Sometimes, massive water from the Himalayas rolls down to the rivers and causes flood.
Flood causes a heavy damage to our life and properties. A large part of our country goes under water.
It submerges the corn fields, uproots the trees, and washes away our houses, cattle’s and sheep. Thousands of people become homeless or shelterless. They take shelter on the roof of the buildings, on trees and on boats. Roads and railways are damaged. The communication system is hampered greatly. People suffer from scarcity of pure water. Thousands of people die.
The after effect of floods is more serious. Famine breaks out. Many people die for want of food and pure water. The price of daily necessaries goes up. Many fatal diseases like cholera, typhoid and dysentery etc. break out in an epidemic form because of drinking dirty water.
Floods do a little good to man. It washes away the waste and filth. It carries silt which makes our land fertile to grow good crops.
During and after the flood the relief work should go on. The miseries of the affected people increase. In this time the government and some other voluntary organisations come forward to help the flood affected people.
Some careful steps should be taken to control floods. A good drainage system should be introduced. A large number of sluices and outlets should be made for the easy passing of rain water.

POPULATION PROBLEM OF BANGLADESH

Bangladesh is a densely populated country. The rate of increasing population in Bangladesh is a burning question of the day. Population is an asset for a country. But when a country has a large population more than her capacity to afford food, shelter and other fundamental needs, population becomes a burden for her. Then the population is treated as a problem.
Bangladesh is a small country having an area of 1,47,570 square kilometres. But it is burdened with a large population of about 150 million people. More than one thousand people live in per square kilometre. The population is still increasing at an alarming rate. More than two million people are included in our total population every year. Population growth has come to a form of explosion. The natural wealth and the population are interconnected with each other. But the growth rate is very high than the production of food grain.
Over population is a big problem for our country. It hinders the economic development of our nation. Our climate, weather, geographical condition, early marriage, polygamy, high birth-rate, dogmatism, prejudice, superstition, fundamentalism and God fearing are the factors of over population. Every year a large number of people are added to our population. The additional people need additional foods, shelter, clothes, medicines and other things. It has become difficult for Bangladesh to feed her total population properly. Our land is limited. Increasing population makes habitation on cultivable land. So, our cultivable land is decreasing every year. If we do not control the growth of population, our country will not be able to produce enough crops to feed all.
Population problem begets some other problems. Unemployment problem, poverty, disease, corruption and many other problems are created from over population.
As over population hinders our national prosperity, population growth should be kept under control. Effective family planning can control the population explosion. Our present Government is trying best to control birth rate. For a developing country like ours over population is a curse and a serious problem. So, we all should take a noble view of solving the problems and make a happy and prosperous Bangladesh.
