Females are almost half of the total population of

Bangladesh. So the importance of females is not less

than the males in our society. Their intellectual,

psychological and moral levels influence the whole

nation to a great extent. As a result female education in

Bangladesh is given importance for her national growth

and development. But the scenario is not so

satisfactory.

In our family and social life, the females play a very

vital role. As mothers, sisters and housewives, their

function is highly important. They give the children

primary academic education and moral lesson. The

mental make-up, nature, behaviour, moral values,

character, personality- everything of the children

largely depend on the knowledge and skills of the

female. Even the health and treatment of the family

members are also largely dependent on their care and

consciousness. Actually females are the key factors in

the family life. As they play such vital roles in family

and society, they must be properly educated. If they are

not educated the whole society will be affected.

A woman has a significant role as a citizen in the state

as well. She has to know her rights, privileges and

duties. If she gets education, she can prove her worth.

7. Make a precise of the following passage.

The student life is the period of life we spend in

educational institutions in acquiring knowledge. It

is the time for having prepared for struggle in later

life. It is called the seedtime of human life, as our

achievements in life depend on our performance in

our student life. The first and foremost duty of a

student is to gather knowledge. In this period a

student prepares himself for different duties in the

future. In schools, colleges, and universities

teachers help them to equip themselves with

necessary qualities. If this period is neglected they

are sure to suffer. Along with the coursework they

should also try to acquire knowledge about the

current affairs and all sorts of important issues.

Having an extended reading and building a reading

habit will help them throughout their life. A student

should also take proper care of his health. It is said

that ‘Health is wealth’. A man without a sound

health cannot prosper in any field. So it is necessary

to maintain good health. For this purpose taking

regular nutritious food, having proper physical

exercise and maintaining good habits of cleanliness

is very much necessary. A student needs to make

the best use of his lime. He must not confine

himself to his class books only. He should read

other good and informative books, newspapers,

magazines, and periodicals, too. Students will be

the future leaders of the nation. They are the hope

and strength of a nation. So, this time should be

used properly in constructive and preparatory

activities for ensuring a bright future.

ANSWER

1. Human rights are those rights that a person is

entitled to have as a human being. Actually, human

rights are those rights inherent to all human beings

regardless of their nationality, sex, colour, religion,

language or any other status. It includes both basic

needs and lawful rights. The basic needs are food,

clothing, shelter, education and medical care.

Without any of these rights, the development of a

person will be hindered vehemently. Even, his life

may come to an end. On the other hand, there are

some rights that a person is entitled to either as a

citizen of a country or as a person belonging to this

world. These rights include being equal before law,

freedom of speech, movement, thoughts and

conscience, beliefs, peaceful assembly etc. No one

shall be forced to be a slave or to do any work. If a

man becomes deprived of basic human rights, his

mental growth will be hampered. In the present

world, the condition of human rights is very

deplorable. This situation must be developed to live

a standard and peaceful life.

02. The 16th of December is the Victory Day of

Bangladesh. Besides, It is the most memorable day

in the history of our country. After a nine-month-

and The Pakistani Army was compelled to

surrender.Thus, Bangladesh occupied a place in the

world map as an independent country. Every year

we observe this day with due solemnity and we

remember the supreme sacrifice of the patriotic

heroic sons who laid down their lives for the

country paying great tribute to their departed soul.

Actually, The day begins with gunshots when the

whole country puts on a festive look. In this day,

The national flag is hoisted on the top of each

house and office and the whole atmosphere is

resounded with Bangabandhu’s fiery speech of the

March and the patriotic songs. The armed forces of

the country organize special parades and gun-shots.

The Prime Minister and the President took salute

from them. Political leaders and people, in general,

visit the National Monument at Savar. This day will

remain ever fresh and evergreen in the heart of each

03. Female education is very essential for the overall

development of a nation. About fifty percent of the

total population of our country are female. A

country cannot expect her prosperity avoiding this

large part of population. But most of the women are

lagging far behind in education. The rate of female

literacy is about 20%. This rate of female literacy is

alarming. Women need to be educated for different

reasons. To be a conscious citizen of the country, to

be an active member of the family and society, to

be a good mother or wife and to lead a self-reliant

better life, a woman should be educated properly.

Besides, educated women have higher income

potential than those who have had no schooling. An

educated woman is conscious of her duties, rights

and responsibilities. Moreover, every woman is a

potential mother. Education of a child greatly

depends upon its mother.

contraction when there is a general decline in

economic activity. Recessions generally occur

when there is a widespread drop in spending (an

adverse demand shock). This may be triggered by

various events, such as a financial crisis, an

external trade shock, an adverse supply shock, the

bursting of an economic bubble, or a large-scale

natural or anthropogenic disaster (e.g. a pandemic).
