Modern science is nothing but a skill magician. It has made our life easy and comfortable. One after one, it is providing the mankind with wonders. It has absolutely conquered the indomitable forces of nature. The wonders of modern science are not fully illustrated in a short composition. Electricity is the first wonder of modern science. It is the first driving force of modern civilization. Electric-power is used for various purposes. Without it, the advancement of modern science is Impossible. Computer is a fairly recent invention. It has now become an essential part of modern life. It is often contribution of modern science. There is hardly any sector in our life where we do not use computer. In agricultural, medical, educational, communication and transportation sectors, we have been able to attain great achievements with the help of computer.

Modern science is still increasing the number of wonders day After day. It is impossible to say what it can perform or not. It seems that it has started its journey not to be stopped any where at any time. (3) The Rainy Season There are six seasons in Bangladesh. Each season consists of two months. We hear new sounds and enjoy new scenes in each season. The rainy season is one of the best seasons in our country. The agriculture and the economy of our country mainly depend on the season. The rainy season comes after the summer. Ashar and Shraban are the months of the rainy season. The rainy season starts in the middle of June and lasts up to the middle of September. During the rainy season the sky is often covered with clouds. The sun is not seen. In the rainy season it rains heavily. Sometimes it drizzles and sometimes it rains cats and dogs. The rivers, the canals and the ponds are full to the brim. The fields and the roads go under water the roads become muddy and slippery. People can not move from one place to another. Those who have offices and other business go out with umbrella over the head. Sometimes people slip and fall on the muddy roads. Most of the students do not go to the school. Only a few students go to school because classes are not held on a rainy day. It is a day of great joy to them. So they remain indoors. They pass the time by gossiping, joking and playing. Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural country. Her economy and prosperity depend on agriculture. Our agriculture depends on the rainy season. If there is sufficient rain, the joys of the farmers know no bound. They plough their lands and sow seeds in time. The farmers of our country can not get a good harvest if it does not rain in the proper time. Without rain water paddy, jute and other crops can not grow well in our country. Without rain water our agriculture is totally lifeless. So the rainy season is a blessing of nature. Heavy rainfall creates flood. Flood water carries a lot of silt (cwj gvwUi UzKiv) and it makes the soil fertile. As a result, paddy, jute, sugarcane and other crops grow in plenty. Every season has some demerits. The rainy season has some demerits. During the rainy season it rains heavily in full swing. Heavy rainfall causes flood and bring about untold sorrows, sufferings and miseries. There is water everywhere. Roads become muddy and Slippery. People can not go out. Normal activities of life are stopped. Students can not go to schools and colleges. People are to use umbrellas and move by boat. After flood different The rainy is the most important and useful season in our country. It is an inseparable part of nature. It plays a vital role for our economy. This season has a different meaning the poets and imaginative type of people. (4) A Village Market A village market is a place where the villagers meet buy and sell things. It is a buying and selling center for the villagers. Generally it sits every morning. Besides, big markets sit once or twice a week. A village market generally stands at an open place where people can easily come for buying and selling things. So it usually stands at the junction of roads or by the side of a river or a canal. Large banyan trees are let grown to give shade and shelter. There are two kinds of village market. They are the daily market and the weekly market. The daily market is called “Bazar”. It sits in the morning and breaks up before noon. Besides, it also sits in the afternoon and breaks up late at night. The weekly market is called “Hat”. It sits once or twice a week and breaks up late in the evening. A village market has three parts like open space, temporary shad and permanent shed. It the open space the sellers sit in rows. Fish, milk, fruits, betel, leaves, vegetables etc. are sold in the open space. People buy their daily necessaries from here. Oil, rice, salt, pepper, etc. are sold in the temporary shops. Some grocers, tailors, doctors, potters etc. sit in the permanent shops. The village market is very useful to the villagers. Here they get their daily necessary things. It saves the villagers form going to distant places for buying things. It is the meeting place of the villagers. The villagers find a social and friendly life here. A village market has some disadvantages too. It is a noisy and an unhealthy place. A village market is not also free from defects. There is no fixed price in the market. A customer may be cheated at any time. Pick-pickets and gamblers come up and do their evils. Sometimes, the shopkeepers are also oppressed by the local criminals. A village market is a part and parcel of our rural economy. We should keep it neat and clean. Even Our government should take proper steps against price-hiking, pick-pockets, gamblers and other criminals. (5) Flood or, Flood in Bangladesh Flood is a natural calamity. It is an annual affair in Bangladesh. Bangladesh suffers from flood almost every year. Due to excessive rainfall or any toner cause when rivers and canals overflow their banks and make huge loss to crops and property, it is called flood. The causes of flood are many. It is mainly caused by heavy showers of rain. It may be caused by cyclones, tidal bores or melting of snow on mountains. Flood causes a big loss of our life, property and crops. It washes away villages, roads and even people’s houses. Many human lives are lost. All the communication system is suspended. People become homeless. They take shelter on the high roads, schools and colleges. The after erects of flood are more dangerous. After flood epidemic and famine break out. The areas affected by flood become muddy and unhealthy. There is scarcity of drinking water. The price of all daily necessities goes up. Relief should be given properly to the flood affected people. They should be rehabilitated. Easy loans and seed should be given to them. The last two consequent floods in 2007 were very terrible. The floods caused a great havoc. It took a heavy toll of lives. Nearly forty eight districts were swept over by the floods. Many people became homeless, many cattle died and huge properties were damaged. Floods do some good to us. It makes our lands fertile by depositing silt. It washes away filth and dirt. It is urgently necessary to take proper steps for the control of flood in out country. Both long and short term plans can be taken. The silted up beds of out rivers should be excavated for carrying more water. Proper embankments should be constructed along the banks of the rivers. Flood causes a huge loss to our country every year. So we must control flood at any cost (6) Tree Plantation in Bangladesh “Give back the forest, take your town”, says Rabindranath tagore. By these lines the poet tries to convince us about the importance of trees. Tree plantation means planting trees more and more. It is not possible to lead a happy and peaceful life without trees. Lands in the upper valley of a river are more suitable for the growth and development of forest. But Bangladesh is a lower reverie country. For this reason, we have no rich forest resources. Our forest resources constitute with the forest of Bhawal, Madhupur, Chittagong hill tracts and the famous Sundarbans. Some people inconsiderately cut down trees everywhere. They do not think that the destruction of forests can destroy the environmental system. Because of deforestation, Bangladesh is now at the risk of turning into a desert. Besides, we may also face the problems of flood, soil erosion; drought etc. it is a great threat to out environment. There is ample scope for forestation in Bangladesh. Sea beaches, low lying areas and fallow lands can be brought under the schema of forestation with special types to trees suited to the soil. June is the best time for planting trees. Trees play an important role in our daily life. In order to live we need oxygen. Trees give us that oxygen. They give us food and fruits. They also provide us shelter. we get wood from trees and without wood we cannot make houses, furniture, boats, launches, and ships etc. It trees are planted on the banks of rivers and sea-shores, soil erosion can be prevented. They also prevent air pollution. Trees protect the country from the harmful green house effect. To preserve our environment we should plant more and more trees. Tree plantation programme should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. The officers connected with this programme should take proper steps and needful measures to make it success. Government should take necessary steps to make it success. Government should take necessary steps to make the people interested in planting trees. Trees are important for our life. The necessity of trees and the importance of tree plantation cannot be ignored in any way. So it is our bounden duty to plant trees more and take care of the trees. (7) My hobby Hobby is a pleasant pastime. It is man’s favorite occupation but not his main occupation. It is an occupation after his taste and choice. It may not bring him money but he gets the joy and pleasure from his hobby. It cannot be measured in terms of money. A man must have a hobby for a sound mind and sound health. So it is necessary to enjoy life. Hobbies vary from person to person according to his taste, choices and aptitude. There are various types of hobby like reading, fishing, gardening, shooting, stamp-collecting, bee-keeping, drawing, painting singing etc. The greatest people of the world had their hobbies. They took hobbies to relieve their mind from the dread monotony of their main business. Alexander, Washington. Napoleon. Tolstoy, Rabindranath, Veranda show – all had their hobbies. I am a student. My first and foremost duty is to study hard both at home and at school. I have also a hobby like others. My hobby is gardening. My favourite hobby is gardening. My garden is located in front of our house. I work in my garden both in the morning and in the evening. I loose the soil with the spade and weed out the grass. I water the plants regularly. I have planted various kinds of flower plants in my garden. They are: the rose, the dalia, the cosmos, the karabi, the krisnachura, the nargis etc. I have put a fence around my garden so that cattle or naughty children can not do any harm to my garden. Most of the flowers of my garden bloom in the morning and spread sweet smell all around. Each flower has color of its own. The rose is the best of them. Gardening is very helpful to me in various ways. It helps me make the best use of my leisure time. My health has improved much with the starting of my garden. Every morning I feel a great pleasure to see my garden with flowers. The flowers dance merrily in the morning breeze and present a very charming look. At night, the sweet smell of flowers comes into my room and makes me happy and fills my mind with heavenly peace. Thus my hobby is a great source of joy and pleasure to me. Every man should have a hobby for enjoying the blessings of sound mind and sound body. I get much pleasure from my hobby. (8) Childhood Memories Childhood is the sweetest and most memorable period in a man’s life. Every man or woman has childhood memories. I have also some memories. Very often these memories are reflected on my mind in my loneliness. Whenever I remember my childhood days, I feel happy and delighted. I always remember the playground which was behind our house. I always used to playground which was behind our house. I always used to play there with my friends. I and some of my friends used to row on the river, jump into it and swim in it. Sometime we caught fish by hook. The memory of my stealing fruits is very interesting. I was very fond of stealing mangoes, litchis, black barriers and other fruits with my friends. One day I and some of my friends went to steal mango in a certain tree. But the owner of the tree caught us with mangoes. We were trembling with fear. But the man did nothing. i shall never forget this memory. The memory of the first day at school is still fresh in my life mind. My father took me to the nearest primary school for admission. I was taken to the headmaster’s room. At first I got frightened. The headmaster asked me some questions. I could answer them properly. I was allowed to classmates received me cordially. All of my memories are not joyful. Some are also painful and heart touching. The death of my grandmother is one of them. One morning I heard the sound of crying from my grandmother’s living room. We rushed there. I saw grandmother lying on her bed with a sheet covering. I could understand that she is no more in the world. I was greatly shocked and wept. It was the first death scene in my life. I will never forget this sad event. Except some events my childhood days were tally happy. The happy memories of those days are still in my heart with great joy. I wish I could have my childhood days again. (9) Student life The period that we spend in acquiring knowledge in our educational institutions like schools, colleges, universities etc. is called student life. It is the golden period of life. We decorate our dreams in our mind in this stage. It is also called the period of sowing seed. In this stage, as a student will sow, so will he reap? Students first and foremost duty is to study and acquire knowledge and prepare himself for a particular profession. He should be regular in his classes and should read his lessons attentively. Besides reading text books, he should read newspapers, magazines, novels, and dramas etc. to gather extra knowledge. A student has many duties except main duty. He should always make the best use of his time because time and tide wait for none. At this stage a student should form the habit of practising honesty, perseverance, sympathy, generosity and obedience. Students may often come forward to rendering social services. During vacation, they can organize adult education. They can arrange various kinds of educational programmes for the destitute (ewÂZ) children. Moreover, the students usually play an important role in arranging blood donation activities. Today’s students are the future leaders of the nation. So they should play a vital role in building the nation. They should extend their helping hands in time of any national crisis. For instance, they can stand by the suffering people during natural calamities. In such a situation, they can collect funds for homeless and helpless people and take part in relief operations. Finally, they should study and work hard for the country with patriotic feelings. By keeping in mind all the qualities of a student, the students should be confident and should study hard to enrich themselves with the latest knowledge of the world. (10) My daily routine Daily life means a routine life. I am a student. So I try my best to follow my daily routine. It is my habit to get up early in the morning. I brush my teeth, wash my hands, face and take my ablution and say my Fazar prayer. Then I go out for a walk in the open air for about half an hour and come back home again. Once again I wash my hands, feet and face. After that I take my breakfast and sit at my reading table. I read for three hours at a stretch. Nobody is allowed to enter my room during this time. I make my lessons attentively. After finishing my regular lessons, I take my bath and meal. Then I start for my school at 10 a.m. because our school sits at 10-30 a.m. I always sit in the first bench and listen to what my teachers say. I take down the important notes. In the off period I do not move here and there. Rather I go to the common room and refresh myself by taking part in indoor and outdoor games. At tiffin period I take tiffin and say my Zohar prayer. Our school breaks up at 4 p.m. Then I come back to my home straight. I do not spend time with bad boys on the way. Returning home, I wash my face, teeth, hands and feet very well and have my meal. I say Asar prayer. After taking a little rest, I go to the play ground. I play football or other outdoor games with my class mates. Before the sun set I return to my home. Returning home, I take my ablution and say my Magrib prayer. Then I sit at my reading table and prepare my lessons till 10 p.m. After that I say my Esha prayer. I take my supper. Normally I go to bed at 11 p.m. Besides this I read the daily newspapers and weeklies. I enjoy television. I maintain my dairy. This is my daily routine. But there are minor changes. Only Friday I go to different places to remove the monotony. So during long vacation and holidays I go to the house of my relatives. I also take part in social work. A routined life is a must for everybody to reach the goal of life. Without following a routined life none can hope to march in life. So everyone should have a daily life and follow it strictly. (11) Newspaper Ours is an age of modern science. Modern science has invented new ways and means for our comforts. Newspaper is a wonder of modern science. Newspaper is a paper which carries news and views of home and abroad to us. In the morning we wait eagerly for a newspaper. We can not have our breakfast without a newspaper of the day. We cannot do a single day without newspaper. It is a part and parcel in our day to day life. Newspaper was first published in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The Indian gazette which was the first newspaper in indo-Bangladesh was published in 1774. The Samachar Darpan is the first Bengali newspaper. The Christian missionaries of Sreampore published it. Now those days are gone by. Man has invented printing machine. Thousands of newspapers are being printed daily all over the world. There are many kinds of newspapers. They are dailies, biweeklies, weeklies, monthlies and even quarterlies. The dailies contain news and views about the daily affairs of the whole world. There are some other papers which are known as periodicals and magazines. They contain literary articles. There are many English and Bengali dailies in our country. They are The Ittefaq, the Prothom Alo, The Inquilab, the observer, The Bangladesh times and The Independence etc. Global distance has been removed. The world has become smaller. One part of the world has been linked up with another through newspaper. Newspaper if of great use to us. It serves the purpose of people of different sections. We get all sorts of information in the newspapers. We know through them what is going on the world around us. They give us news about politics, economies, culture, literature, games and sports of the whole world. Newspaper is very useful to us. It has removed global distance. The world has become smaller. One part of the world has been linked up with another through newspaper. It gives us news of our own country and other countries. We get all sorts of information in the newspaper. We can learn about the progress of science, literature and arts. We can learn of what our rights and duties are. Newspapers help us to spread learning among the common people. Merchants can advertise their goods in newspapers and increase their sale. They can also learn the condition of trade in different places by reading newspapers. Every thing in the world influences both good and dark sides on human life. Newspapers have some dark sides. Sometimes false and sensational news are published in the newspapers. These kinds of news create problems and disturb the peace of society. In spite of having some demerits newspapers are very useful to us. Every one should read newspapers every day. A newspaper is a great source of information and knowledge. Without a newspaper we can not even think of our own life. (12) Discipline Discipline means obedience to certain rules and regulations. Man is a social being. In the society he can not do whatever he likes. He must obey some rules and regulations. To obey these rules and regulations is called discipline. It helps a man to lead his life according to the prevailing law and order. Discipline is necessary in every walk of our life. It is the key to success in life. The value of discipline is indescribable in our life. It helps men to live in society with peace happiness. It is the basis of all the virtues. Without discipline nothing can be improved in a country. Discipline is the first low of nature. The planets move round the sun in a disciplined way. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The seasons of the year come one after another in regular turns. If there was no discipline in nature, the world would have been destroyed. Discipline is very necessary for every steps of our life. Student life is the best time to build the habit of discipline. A student must attend school punctually and obey the rules of the school. He must carry out the orders of the teachers. Without discipline the teachers cannot teach and the students cannot learn their lessons. Discipline is strictly maintained in the army. It is the part and parcel of the army. Difficulty, danger and even death cannot escape a soldier from carrying out the orders of his commanders. Discipline is necessary in games and sports. A player has to show respect to the decision of the referee. If the players in the play ground they are sure to lose the game. All the members of a house should obey the rules of the family. A family, without discipline is sure to suffer chaos and unhappiness. A disciplined family leads a happy and healthy life. Discipline is the root of all virtues of our life. Development of a society, a country and a nation is not possible without discipline. A life without discipline is like a ship without a rudder. So all of us should be the performer of discipline from the every beginning of life. (13) Your Aim in Life / Your Future Plan Everyman has an aim in life. A man without an aim is like a boat without a rudder. A boat without rudder faces danger. Similarly a man without an aim can not reach to his goal. He stumbles in his way of life. So every man should have definite aim. Different men have different aims in life. Some want to be engineers. Some want to scholars. Some want to earn fame, some want to be teachers and so on. But my aim in life is to be a doctor. My parents and teachers have given their consent to my choice. There are many reasons for choosing the profession of a doctor. I shall prepare myself in that way. The people of our village are poor. They suffer from many diseases. They do not get help and advice from good doctors. So I have decided to go back to my village and serve them. The service of a good doctor is very important. Most of the people of our country are illiterate. They live in the villages. Good doctors are not available in the villages. As a result, many villagers die in a premature death. When I think the distress of these poor people, my heart is filled with pity for them. So I have decided to become a good doctor and serve my poor and illiterate villagers. A doctor is held in respect in the society. It is an honourable profession. Through this profession I want to serve the people of my locality. My sincere service will bring name and fame for me. I am now appearing at the H.S.C. examination. I have prepared well in all the subjects. I am sure to cut a good figure in the examination. After passing the H.S.C. with a brilliant result. I shall get myself admitted into a Medical College. After obtaining the M.B.B.S degree, I shall go back to native village and set myself to serve my village people through practice. Success in life depends largely upon the right choice of profession. I believe that I shall be able to reach through this profession and I shall be able to serve the nation and love people. (14) A JOURNEY BY TAIN Journey is always a pleasure to me. Whenever I go on a journey, my heart leaps up with joy. But my greatest pleasure is in a journey by train. A journey by plane is costly. A journey by bus is risky and uncomfortable. But a journey by train is pleasant, safe and comfortable. In the last autumn vacation I got sufficient time. So I made up my mind to make a journey by train from Khulna to Rajshahi. I reached the station about half an hour before the departure of the train. It was then a very busy time. Richshaw, motor cars and other vehicles were coming to the station with passengers. Coolies were running behind them. There were the shouts and rush of the passengers and the coolies. After sometime hearing a whistle, the passengers stood in a queue before the ticket counter. I also stood in the line and bought a second class ticket. The right time came and the guard whistled and waved his flag. Everybody tried to get into the train first. After much difficulty, I got into a second class compartment. The compartment was full to its capacity. The train left the station. Gradually the speed of the train increased. I looked outside and found the beauty of nature. The train was running through green paddy fields. There were jute and sugarcane plants here and there. They were tossing their heads in the breeze. The compartment presented a good scene. Some of the passengers were talking on various matters. Some were reading newspapers and magazines. Hawker came up to us with their goods for sale. The train was a mail train. It touched only at the big stations. Passengers were getting down and again some were getting into the train. The hawkers and the coolies were shouting. They are busy too. At last the train reached at the Rajshahi station at 10 p.m. I got down. The journey in my heart I bore. It gave me much pleasure. Indeed it was one of the most memorable days in my life. (15) A JOURNEY BY BOAT Journey is always a pleasure to me. Whenever I go on a journey, my heart leaps up with joy. But my greatest pleasure is in a journey by boat. Bangladesh is a land of river. So it is easy to make a journey by boat. A journey by boat is interesting and pleasant. Whenever I get opportunity to make a journey by boat, I make the best use of the opportunity. A few days ago, I got an n opportunity to make a journey by boat. We were six in number. Our destination was from Goyalando Ghat to Aricha Ghat. We hired a big boat. The boatman and the oarsmen were very nice people. We have our breakfast early in the morning. We started at 8.a.m. They sky was clear and the weather was fine. The river was calm. It was full to the brim. Our boatman rowed for a while and they set sail. The boat began to move smoothly. There were small waves in the river. We enjoyed the scenes on both sides of the river. There were green fields, paddy fields and jute fields, rows of trees which were full of flowers and fruits. These things charmed our eyes. We saw many boys and girls bathing and swimming in the river. Fishermen were catching fish. Women were seen fetching water in pitchers. We reached a market at 12 o’clock. The boatman cast anchor. We got down. We brought rice, egg, a big hilsha first and sweets. The boatmen gave us an oven and fuel. We cooked the food ourselves. We took our meal. The boatmen took rest for a while. Then they raised anchor. Again we started our journey. The boatmen tried to reach the destination before the sunset. It was late afternoon. The sun was setting. We enjoyed the sunset. The boat moved slowly and we reached our destination. It was dark all around. The journey in my heart I bore. It gave me much pleasure. It was one of the most memorable days in my life indeed. (16) A VILLAGE FAIR A village fair is an annual affair in our country. It is generally held on the occasion of some religious festivals or some local important events. It is an occasion for show, sale of various goods and entertainments. A village fair generally sits on the bank of a river, or a big canal or tank. Some fair also sits in an open field under a big ancient tree or in the market place, or in the yard of a temple or by the side of a big road. A village fair serves as a sort of exhibition of village products. Things of many kinds and tastes are brought here for show and sale. Potters, carpenters, blacksmiths, and weavers sell their hand made goods. Generally children gather around the stalls that sell sweets, toys and balloons and women are attracted mainly those stalls that sell artificial jewelry, earthenware, brassware, iron ware shares etc. A village fair is an occasion of great joy and excitement among the villagers. Circus, magic shows, merry – g- – rounds mock fights, Jarigan , Jatra etc are arranged in the fair. Circus parties often bring their trained small tigers, elephants, monkey, horse and bears to show funny feats. However the largest crowd gathers in the Jatra pandal. The village fair has demerits too. Gambling parties come here and entice innocent people to take part in gambling cheats, pick-pockets, criminals and village mastans come to the fair and commit various kinds of evil deeds. Sometimes children are lost and this causes great anxiety for the parents. A village fair also creates unsanitary conditions. Sweet stalls are open. There is no shed over them. Flies sit on the sweet and dust falls on them. People buy these sweets and eat them. As a result there is very chance of the out break of cholera and dysentery. A village fair is very useful and important. It removes the monotony of life and brings joys to the villagers. It helps a man to forget his sorrows and sufferings for the time being. People meet their kith and kin and mix with a variety of people. (17) Physical Exercise Physical exercise means the movement of our limbs according to some rules. It is good for health. It gives us health and energy. It is necessary for the preservation of health. We cannot enjoy sound health without it. Physical exercise makes a man active and strong. It keeps him free from various fatal diseases. There are various kinds of physical exercise. Walking, riding, swimming, rowing and different types of games are good forms of exercise. All of them are not suitable for everybody. There are some forms of physical exercise like badminton, cricket, hockey, football, tennis are quite good. For the female table tennis and badminton are quite nice exercises. Other hand, walking which is a very common and easy exercise. It is good for the weak and the old. Physical exercise should not be taken all the time. It must be taken in the open air. So morning and evening are the best time for taking physical exercise. Closed room is not proper place for taking exercise. We should take physical exercise regularly. But remember, no exercise should be taken immediate after taking meal or in empty stomach. Do not take over exercise. It may tell up the health. The merits of taking physical exercise are not described in words. Our body is like a machine. It cannot function well without exercise. Physical exercise helps us to digest our food properly. It makes out bones and muscles strong and stout. It also makes us pains-taking and hard-working. It prevents diseases and helps balanced growth of our body. There is a proverb in English that a sound mind lives in a sound body. It takes our mind away from the monotony of our routine bound work and helps us to forget pains, sorrows and mental agonies of our day-to-day life. It gives fresh energy, refreshes our mind and helps us to work with renewed vigor. It increases our longevity too. Physical exercise is the most essential for the students. They are the citizens in the making. Their life is the life of preparation for the struggle of life. The students of today will lead the nation tomorrow. They cannot expect to win in the battle of life without sound health. So taking physical exercise is a must for them. Health is the root of all happiness. Physical exercise keeps us healthy. Many people do not take physical exercise regularly. Then soon lose their health. They fall victims to many diseases. So the necessity of taking exercise should not be ignored. Physical exercise prolongs our life and strengthens our mind. If we want to keep our mind and body fresh, we should take regular physical exercise.

We also made a dais before the school building. The words bearing the title of the function were tastefully inscribed on a long piece of cloth. The cloth was hung on the wall behind the dais. The whole campus was dazzling with flags and festoons. Our local M.P. was the chief guest in the function. The function was attended by a large number of guests.

(19) VALUE OF TIME A proverb goes that time and tide waits for none. Since the dawn of civilization time is moving. It goes on and on. It does not take any rest. It is never constant. Time once gone is gone for ever. Lost health may be regained by medicine and proper caring and nursing, lost wealth by dint of hard labour but lost time cannot be recovered by any means because nobody can stop the speed of time. Life is nothing but the sum total of some moments. The span of human life is very short. But man has many things to do during this limited period. Every moment is very precious. Success in life depends on the best use of time. If we make a proper division of our time and do our duties according to time, we are sure that we would be able to shine in life and reach the cherished goal of our life. Our efforts will be crowned with success. If we do not make the right use of our time, we are sure to repent when it is too late and we will have to drag a miserable existence in our day to day life. Idle brain is devil’s workshop. If we waste our time in idleness, all sorts of evil thoughts will crowd on our brain. Idle persons who kill their time are the burdens of the society. They sit idle and cherish no high ideal and lofty ambition in life. They can not support themselves. They lead an unhappy life and suffer in the long run. There should be time for reading, for office or other work, time for physical exercise, time for recreation and time for prayer. This indicates that we should do everything at the right moment. We can lead a healthy and prosperous life only when we follow the routine which we make for our guidance. By turning the pages of history we come to learn that those who have become great in the world have made the proper use of their time. Even we see that bees, ants, insects work timely. They do not kill a single moment. History provides many examples of the importance of time. One of Napoleon’s generals was a few minutes late in water-loose battle field. As a result, Napoleon had to face a terrible defeat. On the other hand, Robert Bruce, Abraham Lincoln, Einstein, Aristotle and such other great persons led their lives to the top of success making the best use of time. We are the supreme creation of Allah. So we should not waste our time. The most prosperous nations are those that make the best use of time. (20) THE GAME I LIKE MOST There are many kinds of games in our country. Of all games, I like football most. Football is my favorite game because it has special advantages. It is mot as costly as cricket. It gives us much pleasure. It thrills both the players and the spectators. It is a foreign game. It came from England. At present, football is played all over the world. Football is played in an open large field. The ground is 110 to 120 yards long and 70 to 80 yards wide. There are two goal posts at each of the two opposite ends of the field. A bar is tied on the goal posts which is eight feet above from the ground. There are also centre and penalty box. The game is played between two teams. Each team has eleven players. There are a goal keeper, two backs, three half backs and five forwards on each side. The goal keeper and the two backs play on the defensive while the others lead the attack towards the opposite goal. The half backs play on the defensive and lead the attack also. A ball is placed at the centre. A referee conducts the game. As soon as the whistles, the game starts. Each team attacks the opponent and defends its own. Each team tries heart and soul to net the ball. The whole game is divided into two equal halves with an interval of ten minutes. At the end of the first half each team change sits side. When a team nets a ball to the opponent’s goal, the players and supporters of that team are beside themselves with joy. The players of the team who can score many goals can win the game. There are some hard and fast rules for conducting the game. According to the rules the game is played. The players abide by these rules and show respect to the decision of the referee. Football game has many merits. First of all it makes a man strong, healthy and wealthy. It teaches many moral qualities and virtues like obedience, co-operation, discipline, tolerance punctuality etc. In spite of having some demerits, football is my favourite game. Through this game one can learn and acquire many good qualities and virtues of head and heart. A man can also earn a lot through the game.

There are many causes of over population in our country. Some of them are: 1) Ignorance: Most of the people of our country are ignorant. They do not know about the problem of over population. So they do not take the measures to control the birth rate through family planning. 2) Superstitions: Some rural and religious superstitions obstruct our people in family planning or birth control. For this reason, they do not become interested in family planning 3) Early Marriage: Most of the boys and girls of our country get married before they become matured. This early marriage is a special cause of high rate of population growth. 4) Lack of Female Education: Women are half of the population of our country. But most of them are not educated. So, they are not aware of the negative effects of over population. To check the growth of over population the following measures should be taken. Firstly, the high birth rate of population has to be checked through the family planning. It is the main effective solution of the problem. Secondly, we have to make campaign to educate mass people. It will help them to understand the value of family planning and the problem of over population. Thirdly, early marriage has to be strictly stopped by government low.
