Pastimes

Pastime is the sweetest moments when a man has no work to do, when he is his own master & can arrange his work at his own will. Village people spend their pastime by flying kites, fishing, swimming, gossiping & by engaging themselves in productive work such as gardening, farming etc. City people spend their pastime by playing, visiting different historical places, enjoying shows & exhibitions, going out for a picnic, reading books, watching TV & using computers. The common sports are football, cricket, chess etc. The common pastimes are gossiping, reading news papers & watching TV programs. In late winter people enjoy various kinds of games like badminton, volley-ball etc. Sometimes winter fair is observed in the villages. I think travelling is an expensive kind of pastime although it increases one’s knowledge & gives one some enjoyment of refreshing one’s mind through watching many different places.

The Victory Day

Bangladesh is not a very aged country though in this short span of time many significant events took place in the history of it. The 16 th December is a rare day in life history of Bangladesh. On this day we gained triumph at the cost of a blood stained war & Bangladesh came into being. We commemorate the sacrifice of the brave sons who died for the country & pay gleaming acclaim to their deceased soul. The day begins with gunshot; the whole country wears a festive look. The national flag is not sated on the top of each house. Many meetings seminars, symposiums & discussion are held people of all works of life go to national Mausoleum & offer flowers there as a symbol of profound homage to the martyred valiant fighters. This day is a day of great joy, hope & inspiration. This victory symbolisms victory against inequity, oppression & falsehood. This day will remain ever fresh & evergreen in the heart of each & every Bangladeshi.

Unfair Means in the Examination

I don’t support unfair means in the examination. Adopting unfair means in the examination is an evil practice & it degrades the moral values of the students. There are many reasons for adopting unfair means. The number of efficient teachers is not sufficient to teach a large number of students. Besides, students don’t prepare the lessons, they waste time in gossiping & keep away from classrooms. Many students plunge in politics mongering. They want only to get a certificate or a degree by hook or by crook. Recently the authorities have taken some measures to prevent unfair means. The whole system of examination has changed. Now students are to go to other institutions for their centers. Teachers & students are given threat to be punished severely for taking to unfair means. Now, students seem to be motivated to learn. Teachers are free from anxiety & the examinations are being held in a sound atmosphere free from unfair means. I think these preventive measures...
