● THE INTERNET: ITS USE AND ABUSE● 

OR, 

● SOCIAL MEDIA: IT' USE AND ABUSE.● 

Internet is called  as one of the latest inventions of modern science and technology. Today, we can easily access facts by clicking through the search engines. It also serves as a national or international level sports, and serials can be enjoyed through the internet. It has made our life cosy and comfortable with a mode of communication popularly known as E-mail. We can send letters, mails, files, facts and many important documents with the help of this device. Apart from its entertainment, the educative value of the internet is significant. It is an excellent platform for business and commerce. We can conduct video chat and video-conference through webcams. Youtube is now the leading website for free streaming video with a vast number of users. Social networking websites, such as, Facebook, Twitter and Orial have created new ways to socialize and interact. Many people use internet to access news, weather and sports reports. Many people download pictures, music, movies for their enjoyment. But it is some disadvantages . Cyber crimes like data blackmailing, hacking, etc. are associated with internet. 

●  GLOBAL WARMING ● 

Global warming is a major problem which our environment faces today. It is the increase in temperature of the earth's atmosphere. The scientists have indicated that during 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise 2-4°C to 6-4°C. According to the scientists, global warming is caused mostly by the increase of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluro carbon which are the normal by-products of industrialization and excessive use of fossil fuels. Vanishing  the ozone layer is another cause of global warming. Global warming may lead to environmental disasters like rapid melting of polar ice caps. Topographical changes, drought, tsunami, heatwave are the probable consequences of global warming. Worldwide awareness should be created about the danger of warming. Measures should be adopted to control the emission of greenhouse gases. 

● A MEMORABLE  DAY IN MY LIFE ● 

I am ------. Now I am a student of class Xi. I cannot forget the first day at my school. It is a memorable day for me. I was admitted in class I at Dawabari Primary  School.  My father accompanied me to the main gate of the school.  Following the other boys  I reached my classroom. I was feeling extremely nervous. As soon as I was seated, I found most other students entering the room with varied looks. Before the class teacher arrived, some boys made friendly gestures. I was still a little bit confused. I feared that they might make fun of me. But they made friendly expressions. Thus we made friendship for the first time in my school life. I was relieved of fear but still I felt a little tense. The class teacher then entered. We all stood up. Some greeted the teacher with 'Good morning. But I could not. The class teacher asked my name and details of previous school.The memory of my first day at school is really unforgettable and memorable.

● MY AIM IN LIFE ● 

Every man has an aim in life. An aimless (লক্ষ্যহীন) life is like a rudderless (দাঁড়বিহীন) ship. I want to be a teacher. It is a noble profession (মহৎ পেশা). The teachers are the backbone (মেরুদন্ড) of the society (সমাজ). A teacher exercises great influence (প্রভাব) over his students. He not only imparts (প্রদান করা) knowledge (জ্ঞান) to them but also teaches them to know the right and the wrong. He is actually a friend, philosopher (দার্শনিক) and guide (পথপ্রদর্শক) to the students. Only ideal teachers can build an ideal (আদর্শ) nation. A teacher is always respected (সম্মানিত হওয়া) by all. But for that I have to work hard (কঠোর). If I can achieve (সফলতা অর্জন) my dream, I shall try to set examples (উদাহরন) before my students.

● A BOOK I HAVE RECENTLY READ● 

OR, 

● A FILM I HAVE RECENTLY SEEN ● 

I have recently read/seen a book/film entitled 'Chander Pahar' written by Bibhuti Bhushan Bandhapadhay. The book is about an adventurous life style (দুঃসাহসিক জীবনধারা). In the book /film Shankar a young man went to Africa to serve British company. There he faced lion, snake, elephant, chitta, baboon and also munip in Africa. He got a company (সঙ্গ) of Alvarej. They were trying to find out diamond mine (হীরের খনি). Alvarej was killed by the munip and Shankar wanted to come back in the main island from the deserted places (নির্জন জায়গা). In the way he met a few difficulties (অসুবিধা), though he unconsciously (অজ্ঞাতভাবে) discovered the diamond mine. After hardship of life he reached in a town. I have read/seen it a few times. Every time I enjoy aesthetic (নান্দনিক অনুভূতি) feeling. It is seemed that I am Shankar and I am wandering in the deep forest with Alvarej.
