Then none could think for others. Self-preservation was his only thought at that time. Gradually men realized the advantage of living together. It was necessary for their existence. Otherwise they were unable to protect themselves from the attacks of wild animals. So they formed society and learnt to live together as neighbours. Our neighbours are our companions in prosperity and adversity. We get more help from them than our close relations. So we gave our duties and responsibilities to our neighbours because they are our constant companions.
Duty towards neighbours: It is our duty to treat our neighbours well. We should share in their joys and sorrows. We should stand by them and give them courage and protection in danger. We should attend upon them when they ate sick. We should help our poor neighbours with money and lessen their distress. We should feed them when they are in need of. If any of our neighbours happens to be wicked, we should do our best tom rectify him. We should not hate our neighbours in any way.

Television

Introduction: The television is a wonderful gift of science. Indeed it is one of the seven wonders of modern science. An English scientist named Bayard invented the television in 1926. But the system had to be gradually improved by many other scientists before it could be successfully utilised by Bayard to make the modern television.
How the system works: Television combines televised scenes with a take to reproducing sounds. This is done by installing a radio telephones at the two ends are thus able to hear and see each other. At the receiving station both the vision and the sound signals are made to pass through a radio frequency amplifier and frequency changer with the result that the signals devise themselves. In fact, the television is a system which employs mechanical photo, electrical and photo, electrical and wireless processes for reproducing scene, object, etc. at a distance. In many ways the method has the likeness to that of the cinema. The difference is that in the cinema pictures on a long film are reproduced while in the television an actual moving figures: i. e. the face of a speaker or of an actor is reproduced.
Its importance: Television is a great improvement over the radio. Only by hearing a man’s speaking we may not understand him fully, but we both see and hear him his speech is likely to produce greater effect on our minds. It is thus clear that the television has a very great importance. Its growing popularity shows that it can be an effective instrument of entertainment and valuable medium of instruction. In western countries, it has already been playing this role with greater and greater success. In Bangladesh a Television station has been set up at Dhaka. It is hoped that this powerful organ of entertainment and instruction will have a network throughout the country before long.
Conclusion: Television is a popular invention of modern science. It is, however, very costly.
Paper

Introduction: paper is the gift of human skill. Paper is a light thing on which we write. It is the driving force of the modern civilization. Without paper we cannot do even for a day. The word paper came from the word papyrus which was a leaf of a plant.

Kinds: There are many kinds of papers. They differ in size, colour and quality. Some are red, some are white, some are coarse and some are fine. Coarse paper is cheap and fine paper is costly.
Mills: There are there paper mills in Bangladesh. One at Chandraghona, one at Paksey and the other in Khulna. Besides, there are lots of paper mills in the world at present. Paper is made in these mills.
Usefulness: paper is very useful to us. We cannot do without paper. Paper is used in writing, printing and decorating. It is largely used in offices, courts, schools and colleges. Books and news are printed in paper. Spread of education is not possible without paper. No record, no document could be made without paper.

The most interesting man i have ever met
Introduction: In our social life we meet many people everyday. The people we meet are not equal in nature and manner. Everybody has his personality. This may be pleasing or my not be pleasing. We accept everything normally if there is not anything most abnormal. Sometimes we meet someone who has some special qualities which make us much interested in him. In the last winter vacation I met such a man at Dinajpur. His qualities have made me much interested in him.
Who he is: The most interesting man I meet in Dinajpur in Mr. Ahmed. He is a retired school teacher. He is an old widower. He is a member of the family of my friend Haque. He is the elder brother of Haque's father. There he is known as Uncle Ahmed. As a school teacher he came in contact with different classes of people and gathered wide experiences. Now he is about sixty-two years old. But he does not look so old. Infect, he always looks smart. He wears tight dress. Everybody respect and obeys him as he is the oldest man in the family. I meet this Uncle Ahmed when I went to my friend's house at Dinajpur to spend the last winter vacation.
Qualities: Uncle Ahmed is satisfied with a little o anything like food and cloth. But the members of the family cannot satisfy him because he is a very fastidious man. Whenever he meets a member of his family, he asks him/her why be/she has done this and why he/she has not done that. All the members of the family are afraid of his why questions. So, all the members of the family are try their best to avoid him. Uncle Ahmed cannot remain silent without asking questions. Whenever a school going boy of the family faces him, he asks him academic questions in various ways. Everybody becomes fed up with his questions. If anyone fails to answer any of his questions, he calls him worthless' or hopeless.' I was also afraid of him because he does not spare even a guest if he is a school student. Whenever he meets a visitor, he begins recounting his wide experiences. He does not try to understand that the visitor may be a very busy man. He often visits busy people to recount his experiences. He totally forgets that he told and retold them the same story several times. As a result nobody likes to listen to him. Uncle Ahmed is a lonely man.
Conclusion: I feel very sorry for Uncle Ahmed. In fact, he is a lonely man. His wide experiences have made him very lonely. He can overcome his loneliness if he tries to write a book reflecting his wide experiences. Time will come when his experiences will be highly valued to the society.

May Day. This day is observed all over the world as a holiday. On this very day people
commemorate the sacrifice made by some workers in the city of Chicago in 1886.
Background of the day: From time immemorial the capitalists engaged workers along with their
wives and children in their factories and compelled them to work long hours. They were paid low
wages and the workers could not manage the basic necessaries of life. Their condition was very
miserable and pathetic. Not only that, the workers were oppressed and suppressed in many ways,
So the workers started movements against the exploitation. First of fall the city of Chicago came
onto action. They demanded some facilities and time limit of work. The capitalist government and
its agents wanted to crush the movement. On the first day of May, 1886, they opened fire on the
procession of the workers and killed some of them. Hundreds of the workers were injured by them.
Some of the leaders were hanged. This was simply inhuman and brutal. The sad incident was taken
seriously by the workers and the conscious people of the world. This day achieved many things
for the workers, so this day is observed especially every year all over the world to get inspiration
from the martyrs of 1886.

Amar Ekushe. It is a source of inspiration and energy of the Bangladeshi. It is a protest against
exploitation and injustice. This day is a government holiday. We observe the day every year in a
befitting manner.
Background of the day: On the 21st February in 1952, our language martyrs created a history and
the day became memorable. In the then Pakistan we were majority in number. But the west
Pakistanis controlled everything of the country. They understood it very clearly that their control
over the majority would not last long if our language and literature were not crushed. In order to
materialize their policy, they declared that Urdu would be the only state language of Pakistan. The
very declaration was a crime. The opposition camp was not strongly organized in the babyhood of
Pakistan. The University of Dhaka has always been politically sensitive. The brave students of the
university came forward to meet the challenge. They opposed the declaration and started a
movement. This movement is called the Language Movement. On the 21st February of 1952 the
students of the university violated section 144 and brought out a procession protesting against the
illegal and unjustified declaration. The rulers of Pakistan wanted to crush the movement at the
point of the gun. But they failed to do so. Salam, Jabbar, Barkat, Rafiq, Shafiq and other unknown
boys established the right of our mother tongue at the cost of their life. Not only that, Bangladeshi
nationalism was born in the blood of the language martyrs.
World recognition: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) declared the 21st February as International Mother Language Day as a mark of respect
to our language Movement of 1952.

programme includes seminars, cultural functions, exhibitions, competitions etc.
Conclusion: Ekushe February teaches us to protest against injustice and exploitation, it teaches
us to love our motherland and mother tongue. It helps us to discover ourselves.
Introduction: Bangladesh is a proud nation as it emerged through a glorious freedom fight.
Though we have got the freedom the spirit of the freedom fight is yet to be established.
Previous history of freedom fight: Bangladesh lost her independence to the British when Nawab
Serajuddola was defeated in the battle of Palassey in 1757. In 1947, the British divided India into
two sovereign states, India and Pakistan. Pakistan was created but the people of Bangladesh were
in majority in Pakistan, They were deprived of all the powers Bangladesh was made o colony of
West Pakistan. As a result the people of Bangladesh could not tolerate this and started a strong
movement for their release.
Background of the Liberation War: Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and some patriot of Bangladesh
raised their voice of protest. In 1968, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and some other Bengalese were
charged with a false case known as Agartola Conspiracy Case, but the people of Bangladesh started
a strong movement against this case. Ayub Khan was compelled to release them. Then came Yahia
Khan and he declared general election in 1970. The party of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman got absolute
majority in the National assembly. But Yahia did not hand over the power and he stopped National
Assembly. As a result, Sheikh Mujib started non-violent, non-co-operation movement. Yahia
started a false dialogue with Sheikh Mujib and he began to increase the strength of army.
Freedom struggle of 1971: March 25 is a black day in the history of Bangladesh. On that night
the army began to attack in the unarmed people of Bangladesh. Sheik Mujib was arrested and taken
to West Pakistan. The independence of Bangladesh was declared. As the liberation war started,
freedom fighters took birth overnight and faced the well-trained occupying forces to Pakistan
fearlessly. At Mujib Nagar the government of the people republic of Bangladesh was formed on
17th April, 1971. But the Pakistan went on committing genocide to horror of the world. Women
were raped and killed. The world press believed the atrocity of the of the occupying forces
exceeded all limits. Millions of innocent Bengalese fled across the border in fear of their loves. So
when their crimes were full, the Pakistanis came under direct attack of the combined forces of
India and Bangladesh. The 16th December: The final stage of the war took a couple of days only.
On the glorious day of 16th December, the Pakistani army surrendered. Our victory day confirmed
the birth of Bangladesh on the world map.
Conclusion: Though we achieved our independence through much bloodshed, we still are not
emerging as a powerful nation. We seem to have forgotten the supreme sacrifice we made in
1971. So our main duty should be to build up the country.
Introduction: the sixteenth of December is our victory day. It is a memorable day in the history
of Bangladesh. Our victory day con
