Dialogue
writing
1.
Suppose you are
Maruf and your friend is Rony. Write a dialogue in 100 words between you and
your friend about how to improve/learn English.
Here is a dialogue between Myself (Maruf) and my friend
Rony about how to improve/learn English:
Myself: Hello Rony. How are
you?
আমি নিজে: হ্যালো রনি, কেমন আছো?
Rony: I’m fine. What about
you?
রনি: আমি ভালো। তোমার খবর কী?
Myself: I have become
serious about learning better English. From today, I will not speak Bangla with
you.
আমি নিজে: আমি ইংরেজি শেখায় খুবই গুরুত্ব দিচ্ছি। আজ থেকে আমি তোমার সাথে বাংলা বলব না।
Rony: Why? রনি: কেন?
Myself: The reason is
simple. I want to practice spoken English.
আমি নিজে: কারণটা খুবই সাধারণ। আমি স্পোকেন ইংলিশ চর্চা করতে চাই।
Rony: It’s a good
proposition. I agree.
রনি: এটা খুব ভালো একটা ধারণা। আমি তোমার সাথে একমত।
Myself: Yes, if we want to
develop our spoken English we have to speak in English always.
আমি নিজে: হ্যাঁ, আমরা যদি স্পোকেন ইংলিশ উন্নত করতে চাই তবে সবসময় ইংরেজী বলতে হবে।
Rony: It’s true. Moreover,
we should not think of other’s criticism.
রনি: তা সত্য। তাছাড়া, আমাদের অন্যের সমালোচনায় কান দেয়া উচিৎ নয়।
Myself: We should also
develop our reading and writing habits.
আমি নিজে: আমাদের লেখা এবং পড়ার অভ্যাসও উন্নত করা উচিৎ।
Rony: But how can we
do that?
রনি: কিন্তু কীভাবে তা করবো?
Myself: We can develop
reading skill through reading literature and newspapers. We can develop writing
through writing familiar topics.
আমি নিজে: সাহিত্য এবং পত্রিকা পড়ে আমরা আমাদের পড়ার দক্ষতা উন্নত করতে পারি। পরিচিত বিষয়ে লেখা-লেখি করে আমরা লেখার দক্ষতাও বৃদ্ধি করতে পারি।
Rony: I have
difficulty in understanding English.
রনি: আমি ইংরেজি বুঝতে সমস্যা হয়।
Myself: It’s a problem for
me too. But I have developed a lot by listening to BBC.
আমি নিজে: এটা আমারও সমস্যা। কিন্তু বি.বি.সি শুনে আমি অনেকটা উন্নতি করেছি।
Rony: For this wee need to
know grammar.
রনি: এ জন্য আমাদেরকে গ্রামার জানতে হবে।
Myself: Yes, we cannot
avoid it. Grammar is necessary for making the language understandable to all
and for better communication.
আমি নিজে: হ্যাঁ, আমরা এটা এড়িয়ে যেতে পারিনা। ভাষাকে সবার কাছে বোধগম্য করে তুলতে এবং ভালো যোগাযোগের জন্য আমাদের গ্রামার প্রয়োজন।
Rony: Yes, I agree. Now,
let’s go to the class.
রনি: হ্যাঁ, আমি একমত। চলো এখন ক্লাসে যাই।
Myself: Ok.
আমি নিজে: ঠিক আছে।

Body
of the Letters
1.
Write a letter to you friend telling him the benefit of reading newspaper.
A newspaper
is a store house of knowledge. It is a mirror of the current world. By reading
newspaper we can learn the current information on science, education, literature,
agriculture, sports and games, arts and culture. Every student and every
educated person should read newspaper.
2.
Write a letter to your friend about the importance of learning English.
English is an
international language. We cannot communicate with the other corner of the
world without English. All international seminars and discussions are held in
English. Books on higher education are written in English. To be a doctor, a
good teacher, a good tourist, one must have a good knowledge in English. So I
am telling you to learn English to make life successful.
For
better preparation you are requested to follow my lecture sheets.

1. One day a boy was walking by a railway. At a
place, he saw a break in the line. Somebody might have removed the line. Within
a second he thought that …………………….
THE INTELEGENT BOY
One day
a boy was walking by a railway. At a place, he saw a break in the line.
Somebody might have removed the line. Within a second he thought that railway
driver might not be aware of the break and surely there would be an accident.
He knew that within a short time a mail train would come and he grew anxious
for the lives of the passengers. He began to think how he could save the train
from the accident.
The boy
knew that the driver stops his train when any flag came into his notice. The
boy made up his mind to use his red shirt as a red flag.
At once
he heard the whistle of the train. The train was coming at a full speed. The
boy put off his shirt and tied to a stick. He stood beside the railway and
began to wave it like a flag. The train came into sight but the boy did not
move from the place near the break. He kept on waving the shirt. The driver
noticed it and stopped the train.
2. Once upon a time there was a farmer who had a
wonderful goose. Every morning she laid a golden egg. He used to sell the
golden egg to the market. He became rich. But by this time
the man became very greedy and impatient to have all the eggs at a
time.-----------------------------------

a time there was a farmer who had a wonderful goose. Every morning she laid a
golden egg. He used to sell the golden egg to the market. He became rich. But
by this time the man became very greedy and impatient to have all the eggs at a
time. Since he was greedy and wanted to be rich overnight. So one day he hit
upon a plan that he would kill the goose and gets all the eggs of
gold from its belly. Then he would sell the eggs and became rich at once The
farmer told his wife about his plan. His wife was wise but not greedy. She said
to her husband not be greedy and be happy with what they have. The farmer did
not listen to his wife. He killed the goose with a sharp knife. Then he cut
open its belly. But Alas! He found no eggs in it. He became extremely
disappointed and lost the valuable goose forever. Instead of becoming rich, he
became poorer. Though this incident the farmer understand that over greediness
