It was late at night. I was taking preparation for my ensuing examination. All the members of my family were sleeping. All on a sudden, my phone rang and it was an unknown number. I got frightened when he introduced himself as a robber.This voice was soft at first but it was very ferocious later. He demanded at least ten lac taka within 24 hours. After saying this he cut the line. I was very nervous because he threatened to kill me if I don’t give him the money. I was very sensitive about this issue, specially over unknown phone call. My mental condition was serious and I was admitted into the hospital by my parents.Next night he phoned me again and my father received it and told him about my real condition. After hearing this he became ashamed and penitent. He apologised to my father telling him that he was one of my school friends and he had made a fun with me.

The importance of learning English is beyond description. It is the most influential international language now. It has become the second language of our country. We need to know the language for many reasons. We cannot communicate with the people of other countries in our mother tongue. We need a language that is common to the people of all the countries. When we go outside, we use English to communicate with the foreigners. We have to use English in business correspondence with foreigners. Nowadays business has become international. The businessmen have to maintain international relations. So they use English language. Next, we require English language for higher studies because books of higher classes are written in English.
