There are six seasons in Bangladesh and among all the seasons, I like spring the most as it is the loveliest of all the seasons. It is called the king of seasons. The months of Falgun and Chaitra form the season of spring. It comes between winter and summer. In this season, the weather is neither so cold nor so hot. The weather remains very comfortable.

During the winter, nature becomes dull and dry and the leaves of trees fall extensively. But with the advent of spring nature takes a new look and life. The trees and plants become adorned with new leaves, new buds and flowers.

The spring is the season of flowers. Various kinds of flowers bloom in this season. The scent of flowers spreads all around. The kamini, the hasnahena, and the bakul make the atmosphere fragrant with their sweet scent. They make the season pleasing, charming and bewitching . People can enjoy the beauty and sweet scent of the flowering.

This season is the season of songs in our country. The cuckoo sings its melodious songs. It hides itself in the leaves of the trees and coos. All other singing birds pour out their sweet, thrilling, welcoming notes in the fullness of their heart. The singing of birds fills the minds of people with pleasure.

This season is the period of abundance. Vegetables grow in plenty. It is the best harvesting period. Crops and grains cover the fields. Plants and trees become lively.

Spring wins my heart with her manifold charms. No one can overlook her wealth of natural beauties, and her pleasant temperate climate.

So, spring is the king of seasons. It is the season of youth and colour, new leaves, new buds, new flowers, sweet melody, gentle breeze and moderate climate. The season is really enjoyable to all. (Words : 303)

 I can undoubtedly be said that the value of time is limitless. It cannot be measured. Its main focus is that human life is short but he has to do all his works within the short span of time.

“Time and tide wait for none.” Really, time is the most valuable asset in human life. He who cannot make proper use of time is sure to suffer in the long run. There is no certainty that tomorrow will come in our life. So present should be the motto of working. So, the value of time is immeasurable.

Every work has its proper time and we must perform it at its right time. Any delay may lead us to failure. The students must follow this rule strictly. No student can reach his or her goal wasting time with trivial work.

There lies the secret of life in the proper utilization of time. Time once gone is gone forever. Lost wealth may be regained by hard labour, lost knowledge by study, lost health by taking proper food and medicine, but lost time can never be brought back by any means. If we look at the history of human civilization, we will find them to be successful who made proper use of time in their lives.

Waste of time may breed the cause of crime. An idle brain is the devil’s workshop. An idle person commits different types of crimes. Besides committing crimes, he easily brings about his ruin in life.

If we look at nature, we can see that ants, bees, birds, insects etc work timely. They do not waste a single moment. We can learn from nature how to make the best use of time.

Value of time indicates that a person should not waste time, rather he should spend every minute in useful works. This will make his life worth living and glorious. (Words : 313)

Unemployment is the state of not having a job to earn one’s livelihood. This problem is one of the talked topics in the present context of Bangladesh. It is a curse and it has become acute in our country. In Bangladesh, there are different reasons behind unemployment problem.

Bangladesh is an overpopulated country. Her population is much larger than the job opportunities she can provide. As a result, government is not capable of providing employment for too many people. Moreover, there are some problems in our education system. Our education is not capable of making skilled people and there is a great difference between our education and professional proficiency. As a result, educated people have to suffer a lot.

People of our country hanker after dignified job and some people just want to become officers only. Some people dislike laborious job and so they remain unemployed. This is a great reason behind this problem.

Unemployment problem in Bangladesh causes many social problems like drug addiction, drug business, terrorism, hijacking, extortion and so on. Unemployed people of our society have to lead a miserable life and they become the burden of the nation. The burden of unemployment becomes a great curse to the unemployed people.

To solve the unemployment problem, government as well as non-government organisations have to take pragmatic initiatives. We have to foster industrialisation and establish new mills and factories. Vocational education should be encouraged and introduced. We should increase the rate of literacy so that people can be conscious of the bad effects of overpopulation. Our educated young generation should change their attitude to life. They can start small business of their own such as poultry farming, cultivating fish, growing vegetables etc. In fact, self-employment is a possible solution to this great problem. If all these can be implemented, the problem will be reduced to a great extent. (Words : 311)

The cutting down of trees indiscriminately is called deforestation. People cut down trees for various purposes without any consideration. To meet up the basic needs of food and housing trees are being cut on a large scale and thus it causes the ecological imbalance. Consequently, the atmosphere of the world is going under a huge threat.

The causes of deforestation are many. The large number of population of our country needs more shelter, agricultural land, fuel, furniture and so on. To meet all these demands people cut trees indiscriminately, forgetting the dire consequences of the days to come. Besides, there are some dishonest people who cut trees in our forest to make money. Due to their greed for money our forestlands are being destroyed.

The bad impacts of cutting trees indiscriminately are too many to describe. As a result, of deforestation, the existence of animals is going to be threatened. We get oxygen from trees. Due to deforestation, carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide. As a result, the world is getting warmer. The sea level is rising and many parts of the world are going to be engulfed by the sea in near future. If it happens, a significant number of people of the world will turn into climate refugee.

Deforestation destroys the ecosystem of the environment. If we destroy trees at random, one day the country will turn into a great desert. The country will be unsuitable for living and various natural calamities like flood, drought, storm etc. will visit our country. Then the country will suffer extensively.

Necessary measures should be taken to prevent deforestation. We should plant two trees if we cut down one. People should be made aware of tree plantation through mass media. As a whole, tree plantation programme should be extended throughout the country. Finally, we all have to work together to save our beautiful world. (Words : 311)

Hobby is an interesting work at leisure. Hobby means a favourite occupation of a man. But it is not his main business. A person usually does this to have pleasure in his mind. It may not bring him money but it gives him joy and pleasure. It is an important means of getting enjoyment. So it is necessary to enjoy life.

There are different kinds of hobbies like gardening, painting, drawing picture, stamp collecting, autograph collecting, coin collecting, kite flying, fishing etc. Different people have different types of hobby. I also have a hobby. My hobby is gardening.

I have a small garden in front of our house. I have planted many kinds of flower plants in my garden. I take care of my garden properly. I make the soil loose with a spade . I weed out the grass of my garden. Sometimes I water my flower plants. I have made a fence around my garden so that animals and naughty children can do no harm to it. Every afternoon I spend at least two hours in my garden. As a result of it, my blood runs well. Besides this, gardening is very useful to health and mind. It strengthens my health and refreshes my mind. When the flowers bloom in my garden, I feel proud. When I get the sweet scent of my garden flowers, my pleasure knows no bound.

Gardening is very useful to a man. It gives a man pleasure. It makes a man active and healthy. If a man feels bored, he can spend his time in his garden. It helps a man to remove his boredom. If he grows some vegetables in his garden, this saves a lot of expenditure of his family. Moreover, to work in the garden is a physical exercise. So every man should have a hobby. (Words : 305)

The rapid growing population in Bangladesh is a burning question of today. It has created difficulties in every sphere of our life. As it is a serious problem, we have to solve it for the sake of our existence. If we cannot do so, we will have to suffer a lot in near future.

Bangladesh is a small country with the density of population of 1926 per square mile according to the census-of 1987 whereas in the USA it is about 41 per square mile. Bangladesh occupies the 8th position among the countries of the world in respect of population. Her growth rate of population, is 1.6%. If this growth rate continues, the population of Bangladesh will be double within the next thirty years. If it really happens, the nation will fall into a great trouble.

There are many causes of rapid growth of population. The growth of population in the country is the result of two main variables—the birth rate and the death rate. There is a large difference between the two rates, that’s why the growth of population is high. Climatic influence, superstition, and poverty are some of the main causes of high rate of birth. Due to the socio-economic condition a large section of our people wants male children. They think that male children will add to their family income and with the hope of male children they take more children.

It creates problems of food, clothing, housing, health, education and other spheres of life. If this population explosion is not checked immediately, people will have to make their houses in agricultural land and forest and they will have to starve.

A family must not consist of more than two children. Early marriage must be totally banned. Our womenfolk must be made aware of better and prosperous life. Then only we can get rid of this problem. (Words : 312)

Journey is always a matter of pleasure to me and a journey by train is my most favourite journey. On the 5^th January 2015, I had an excellent journey by train to Sylhet. Our college was closed for the winter vacation. I started for my uncle’s house at Sylhet from Dhaka. One of my cousins accompanied me. The journey was really very enjoyable to me.

We bought two first class tickets. We were waiting at the platform for the train. Soon the train arrived at the station. Passing a huge crowd, somehow we managed our seats beside a window. The train started from Kamalapur Railway Station at 10:30 pm.

The train was a mail train. It stopped only at the big stations. I was looking outside through the window and enjoying the natural beauty. It seemed that all the houses and trees on both sides were running backward. The sights were changing every moment. My heart was filled with amusement seeing the sights.

The train reached Bhairab Bazar at I2:00 a.m. We saw many passengers and hawkers at the station. Some hawkers entered the train and tempted us to buy different things. I bought chocolates and juice.  Soon the train started with whistles. The train was going towards Sylhet at a great speed.

Many passengers were talking of many matters of their own life. Some of them talked about our national politics. The young man sitting at my left side wanted to know about me and my journey. I told him and he also told of his ownself.

After a long journey, at last the train reached Sylhet in the morning. I got my uncle there. I felt very excited seeing him and he cordially received me and my cousin. It was a very pleasant journey indeed. I will remember it forever. (Words : 302)

Students are the hopes of the nation. As they are refined and tender, much depends on them for the development of the country. They have to render great service to the society. Students have the strength to play a vital role in gaining any positive thing. If they come forward vigorously, they can win any difficult situation. It is evident in our history.

Study is the principal duty of the students. They should enrich their realm of knowledge by widening the outlook of their life. It is rightly called the seedtime of human life. If they sow good seeds in this period, they will have a good harvest in future.

Student life is the perfect period of preparation for all the problems that an individual and a community face. So, students have many other duties beside studies. They should take part in social activities. Students can do a lot to remove illiteracy from the society. They may conduct night school and educate the ignorant. Students should make people aware of the adverse effect of over population. Students can make the farmers aware of the modern method of cultivation. Doing all these things, they can keep a great contribution in the development of the nation.

Students have many other duties too. They must stand by the distressed, the poor and the deprived. Bangladesh often faces natural calamities. Students must work for the suffering people during these calamities. They may campaign to raise fund for relief and distribute them among the sufferers. They must avoid party politics, but must remain conscious of politics. They must grow up as ideal persons to be followed by others.

The students are the future leaders of our country. So, they must be well trained and well educated so that they can carry out their duties effectively. Then we can expect a better future for us. (Words : 310)

Childhood is the sweetest period of human life. Everybody is fond of remembering his or her childhood days and I am no exception to this rule. Whenever I recollect my childhood memories, my mind fills with amusement.

I can hardly remember what happened during the first four years of my life. But so far as I guess, I was an object of care and affection to all in the family. Everyone in the family loved me very much.

I fondly remember the day of the beginning of my learning. I was then five years old. I was sent to village pathshala. There I was admitted to class 1. This village pathshala was an interesting place to me. I enjoyed reading there with a lot of boys of my age.

But the day ever to be remembered by me is the day on which my grandmother died. It is the saddest day of my life. I was then nine years old, so I could not properly understand what death meant. My father was sobbing , my mother was weeping bitterly and my uncle was crying, but I burst into a loud cry . Even now my eyes get wet with tears whenever her face flashes into my mind.

Another important event that I fully remember was the marriage ceremony of my uncle. I was then twelve years old. Our house was full of guests, and I passed a few days in the midst of joy and mirth. My aunt is highly qualified; she is kind and loving too. Soon I grew into her favour and affection. She took charge of my education and became my guide and guardian.

Of recollections outside school, the memory of plucking flowers, stealing mangoes, coconuts, etc. is still fresh in my mind. How happy I was at my childhood days! I wish I were a child again. (Words : 309)
