In Bangladesh the common foods are rice, fish & pulses. People also eat, wheat, potatoes & other seasonal vegetables, beef, mutton, chicken, eggs, bread & other bakery products & all sorts of local fruits. Among fishes shrimps & hilsa are exported abroad &, they are therefore expensive & rare. All these, we call common foods, because these are available in Bangladesh & people like them very much as well. We can find them around us. Most of our food items are nutritious. All fruits are also rich in food value. We like all these Bangladeshi foods because we are habituated to eat them. It’s a sense of nationalism, that prompts us to take indigenous items of food & fruits.

A fisherman is a person who earns his livelihood by catching & selling fishes. Generally a fisherman lives by the rivers, big canals, marshy lands & seas for his professional advantages. A fisherman lives with his family. He works hard all day & all night. He is always busy in making his fishing nets, repairing them, taking care of his fishing boat, dying & painting them. He passes most of his time in fishing in the river & in the sea. Sometimes he goes in the deep sea for fishing & his family becomes anxious about his safe return. He faces dangers. He has no radio set & motor boats. He can’t listen to the weather warning. So he can’t return to the store safety. A fisher man leads a very poor life. He has hardly nets & boats of his own. He is not given loans on easy terms. His face beams with smile when he catches a lot of fish. A fisherman does much good to us by supplying us with fish. So a fisherman plays an important role like a farmer.
