Thanks to all.



1. Who is more practical between the two? How?

I think Raghib is more practical between the two. Because he did not read a book on riding a bicycle. Instead, he took out his bicycle and tried to ride it. And he succeeded at last.

Probable Answer



2. What was Adeeb’s problem in learning to ride a cycle?

Adeeb’s problem was his starting to read a book on riding a bicycle instead of practising it. He learnt some rules but did not gather any practical experience.

Probable Answer



3. How is learning a language similar to riding a bicycle?

If someone wants to ride a bicycle, he must practise riding it . Similarly if anyone wants to learn a language he must use it in his everyday communication. Mere grammatical rules are not enough for learning a language, as learning the theoretical rules of riding a bicycle is not enough.

Probable Answer



4. What is the writer’s attitude towards making mistakes? Are mistake tolerated in your English class? What about in other classes?

The writer’s attitude towards making mistakes is positive. Mistakes are tolerated in our English class because we will be able to learn through mistake. In other classes mistakes are tolerated but not always. We should never ridicule anyone for making mistakes.

Probable Answer


Lesson: 3How to learn English TextTwo friends, Raghib and Adeeb, wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle, Adeeb bought a book called "How to Ride a cycle" and started reading it. On the other hand, Raghib took out his bicycle on the street and started trying to ride it. He fell off several times and Adeeb laughed at him.However, by the time Adeeb finished the first chapter of his book, Raghib was riding his cycle fairly well. Adeeb knew how the cycle worked but did not know how to use it from first-hand experience. Learning a language is like riding a cycle. The most important thing about any language is communication. You learn to communicate effectively by using a language, by doing things with it and by experiencing it. You can learn English in the same way that Raghib learnt to ride a cycle. Don't worry if people laugh at you when you make mistakes. You can certainly learn through mistakes.
