Smoking is a very dangerous habit. It causes many fatal diseases such as cancer, high blood pressure, kidney and heart diseases. Cigarettes are made from tobacco leaves. There is a poisonous substance called nicotine in tobacco leaves.

When a person smokes cigarettes, this nicotine enters into his lungs with every puff. If anybody smokes cigarettes for years, this deadly nicotine causes lung cancer. Nicotine also obstructs the flow of blood through the veins. This hampers the supply of oxygen in the body.

It causes the rise of blood pressure and increases the heart beat. The ultimate result is heart attack. The habit of smoking pollutes our environment. If a smoker smokes before a non-smoker, the non-smoker is affected by the smoke which is harmful to health.

So by smoking in the public places, a smoker can cause harm to the environment and also the non-smokers. A smoker spends a lot of money for buying cigarettes. When young people are addicted to smoking, they adopt unfair ways to manage the money for buying cigarettes. We all should be conscious of the harmful consequences of smoking. We should keep ourselves away from this habit.

Drug addiction means taking opium, marijuana, phensedyl, heroin, etc. for stimulating effects. Drug addiction is a curse of modern civilization. It is now a global problem. Frustration is the cause of this addiction. When there is no hope left for the young people, they become addicted to drug.

The drugs are very expensive. Young boys cannot afford to buy them. In order to arrange money, they have to commit many kinds of social crimes. Drug addiction has a terrible effect on human body. People feel drowsy and lose appetite. It may damage the brain and all internal functions of the body.

The addicts feel intensive pain in the body. The treatment of the drug addicts is expensive and difficult. In Bangladesh the drug addiction problem has become so acute. Thousands of families are directly or indirectly affected by it.

Cricket is my favourite game. I like it because it gives me recreation and keeps my body fit. The game of cricket needs two teams, each having eleven players. Two umpires conduct the game and sometimes, a third umpire is called to solve confusion.

At the beginning of the match a toss is conducted to select a fielding group and a batting group. A batsman may be bowled out, run out, run out, stumped out or  caught out. When a bowler bowls, a batsman hits the ball away and runs to the opposite wicket.

The batsman of the other side runs to his place. Thus one run is scored. If the ball crosses the boundary line, four runs are made. If it flies over the boundary line, six runs  are scored. If a batsman is out, another player takes his place. After interval the fielding group comes to bat and the batting group goes to field.

The team which scores more runs wins the game. The duration of the game is guided by the fall of wicket or completion of the over. Cricket is a very popular game all over the world. It teaches us patience and discipline.

Accordingly we fixed a date and started our journey from Gabtali to Savar at 10 p.m. by bus. We reached at the National Memorial just after 45 minute. Actually the National Memorial at Savar is the symbol of the nation’s respect for the martyrs of the war of liberation.

It contains the history of our independence. It is built with concrete, but made of blood. It stands 150 feet tall, but every martyr it stands for stands so much taller. There is actually a series of 7 towers that rise by stages to a height of 150 feet.

The foundation was laid on the first anniversary of the victory day. Reaching there we felt a great respect to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their valuable lives for us. We took some snaps taking the view of the memorial. However, we visited the place and the surrounding area for about an hour.

The most moving sight of the complex is the several graves of the martyred freedom fighters just close to the tower. However, we left the place paying our glowing tribute to the freedom fighters. Through this visit we experienced a lot.

The man who pulls rickshaw for money is called a rickshaw puller. A rickshaw puller is a familiar person in cities and towns. He generally lives in a slum. Most of the rickshaw pullers have no their own rickshaws. They pull other rickshaws by renting.

However, a rickshaw puller is a poor man. His dress is very shabby and dirty. His income is very low. He supports his family through much hardship. He works hard from morning till late night. He is seen carrying passengers in both good and bad weathers. He bargains with his passengers.

He demands more when the weather is very hot and foul. Sometimes he tries to cheat passengers. But most often he is cheated by passengers. A rickshaw puller is seen sleeping on his rickshaw under a tree or sitting idly on his rickshaw.

Though he drives rickshaw from morning till late night, he leads a very miserable life. His life is full of sorrows and sufferings. He cannot enjoy peace and happiness. If he becomes sick, he cannot drive his rickshaw.

As a result, he and his family have to starve. Infect, the services of a rickshaw puller plays an importance role in our national life. So we should think about his rights and show respect to them.

(a) What is a winter morning?
(b) How is it?
(c) What are the demerits of it?
(d) What do people do on the day?
(e) What do people wear?

A winter morning is a cold morning. It is not as bright as a spring morning or a summer morning in our country. Its light is mellow on most days. The rays of the morning sun come through a film of mist. Nature appears veiled in fog. The blurred outlines of natural objects lend a mysterious aspect to them.

This is a refreshing change from the usual bright mornings of other seasons in Bangladesh. People wear warm clothes of various kinds — coats, trousers, pullovers, wrappers, etc. Some people bask in the sun wherever it is available. One special aspect of a winter morning is the way of warming oneself.

People gather dry twigs, hay, waste paper, and even old rubber-tires, and light fire with them. They sit around it, and engage in pleasant gossips. Sometimes accidents happen; somebody’s dress-ends catch fire. So, people have to be very careful in such a situation. A winter morning brings distress to the poor people, though it is pleasant for the rich.

Sometimes it is a heavy shower, sometimes it is a drizzle, and sometimes gusts of wind blow.

Then the rain drops are swept around, and they might enter the rooms if the windows are perchance open. The thunder rolls and cracks sometimes, and the lightning flashes in the sky showing a zigzag light across the dark sky. Roads and streets go under water in most areas of the cities and towns.

People move along the roads with umbrellas. Rickshaws are not easily available. Busses are seen much crowded. Office-goers and students suffer much on a rainy day. Poor people, day laborers hardly find any job on the day. Even domestic animals, birds and beasts are put too much trouble.

Some people enjoy such a day much. They find poetic inspiration on the day. A rainy day is a gloomy day indeed for most of the people.
