A book Fair A book fair is a place where books of various kinds are brought for sale and display. It is a very popular fair. In fact, a book fair is considered to be an occasion of great festivity to the book-lovers. It is usually held in the winter season on an open place in most of the major cities of the country. The main thing about a book fair is not sale but display of books on different subjects. It is organized by various institutions on various occasions, namely, Martyrs Day, Victory Day, Independence Day etc. The leading publishers of the country set up stalls of their recent publications as well as old ones. Various kinds of novels, poetical works and science fictions are mainly available in a book fair. A festive look prevails all around. The renowned artists, poets’ intellectuals gather there and take part in the seminars and cultural programmes. Last year, I paid a visit to the Ekushey Boimela, the most popular book fair held in the premises of bangle academy. My personal impression about a book fair is that it can play an important role in developing the habit of reading books among the people. It is a device to spread culture, education and knowledge. It changes our outlook on life and widens our domain of learning. Deforestation A large area of land abounding with trees, bushes etc. are called forest. And deforestation means cutting down trees in large numbers. Trees are useful to us in various ways. They provide us with wood, food and other products, they give us shade and they help to prevent droughty and floods. But the third of these services of trees is the most important. To draw quick profit from trees, men cut them down in large numbers. Trees are destroyed mostly for being used as fire wood. This destruction disturbs our ecological balance. It leads to soil erosion and deprives us of fruit and timber and causes economic loss. So, we have to realize the bad effects of deforestation. In fact, if deforestation goes on our country will be changed into a desert. So, we have to educate our common people and to persuade them to abstain from cutting down trees. We should create awareness among the general people about the evils of destroying forests and motivate them to plant more and more trees. Otherwise the forests of our country will slowly disappear and we will be in great miseries. So, I think every man and woman should pant at least a tree every year. Mobile Phone or Cell Phone Mobile phone is a telephone system that works without any wire. Mobile phone is one of the wonderful wonders of science. It has added a new dimension to our life and to communication system. It can be moved easily and quickly from place to place. Through mobile phone, we can send messages to distant places, play games and sports, know about time. Solve the work of calculation, be aware of different kinds of news and view. At present the popularity of the mobile phone is increasing. Many companies are also being set up for selling mobile phone. The price of mobile phones also decreasing in comparison with the past. People are being encouraged to buy a mobile-phone set a t a cheaper rate. However with the touch of science and technology, the whole world seems to be a global village, in a very single moment, we can communicate with the people living in a very distant place. With all its advantages, the mobile phone has still some drawbacks in disguise. Though the price of it is decreasing, per minute bill is not decreasing. So everybody cannot possess it. Scientists have recently discovered that mobile phone can cause cancer to the users. Besides, it has become a fashion with the young people. Last but not the least, terrorists are using it to spread out terrorism all around the world. But in spite of all these disadvantages, it can be finalized here that the necessity of a mobile phone in exchanging messages, cannot be denied in the true sense of the term in our practical life. MY FAVORITE TV PROGRAMME My favorite TV programme is Drishtikon. There are many places of historical interest in Bangladesh and all over the world. It is not possible for a man to go to those places in person and see with his own eyes. A person may have much money but time, health and other circumstances may not permit him to go and see the places. But he can see and enjoy .the places on the TV screen at a little cost. He need not spend much money and take much labour to visit those pla’ces. Drishtikon programme performs this very thing and serves our purpose of seeing the places of historical interest. I see all these places where I have not been. I come to know about those places and their importance. It teaches us many things. In a word it is very much instructive, informative and interesting. My Favorite Person (My Mom ) One of my favorite persons in this world is my mom. She is a nice person. Like other mothers, she has a nice personality. She is friendly to her children, so we are not afraid to tell our problems to her. She often gives us a wise solution to solve our problems. She never hides us anything. She tells us everything that she knows. However, what I like from her most is that she is patient. She is hardly ever angry to her children especially me, but when we do something wrong, she punishes us with her own way like cutting our pocket money. She is also strong because most of the time she does the house chores by herself. I love her because she is independent and strong. She is a mom and also a teacher for her children. Load Shedding Load shedding means the discontinuity of supply of electricity for short or long time. Nowadays it has become a part of our daily life. There are many reasons for load shedding. The insufficient production of electricity is the main reason of it. Misuse and illegal connection of electricity are the other reasons of it. It occurs mostly at night because the demand of electricity is more than in the daytime. The bad effects of load shedding are beyond description. It creates problem in the socio-economic development of the country. Mills and factories, shops, hospitals etc. become paralyzed due to load shedding. The sufferings of the students know no bounds. They sit in the darkness closing their books during the load shedding. They suffer a lot of if it occurs in the time of their examination. The patients also suffer terribly because operation stops in hospitals for load shedding. Load shedding at night also encourages the thieves. However, this problem should be solved at any cost. The concerned authority must take necessary steps to stop it. More power stations should be established. Illegal connection and system loss should also be stopped. After all, there is no alternative to be conscious about the misuse of electricity. Our School Library/ A school library A library is a store house of knowledge. A library satisfies our eternal desire for knowledge of the unknown and the unseen. A library plays an important role in the realm of knowledge. A library is a part and parcel of a school. No school is complete without a library. Our school has a big library. It is housed in a separate two storyed building. The library has a good collection. There are many almirahs. The books are arranged in different shelves according to subjects. The reading room and the office room of the librarian are separate. The librarian has some assistants. There is a big reading room. The reading room is well furnished. When we take the help of a catalogue, the assistants at once find the book and help us. We are issued library cards. We can borrow books from the library. We are to return the borrowed books after two weeks. In the reading room we can read as many books as we like. Silence is must here. Nobody is allowed to make noise. We are proud of our school library. **Paragraph** Winter Morning A winter morning is misty and cold. There is fog everywhere. Sometimes sun is not seen because fog is very dense. Everything looked hazy. Nothing is seen clearly and people especially poor people suffer a lot. The road accident is high in winter morning because the road is not clearly seen for dense fog. The villagers gather straw and make fires to warm themselves. And people bask in the sun. In winter morning people like to eat various kinds of pitha. Children get up late. And morning school is very difficult for them. But the farmer and other poor people get up early in the morning and go to there work. They worked all day long. In winter they suffer a lot because they do not have good dress to save themselves from biting cold. They do not enjoy that morning. So it is very difficult for them. In cities, people get up late and they remain busy in taking breakfast quickly. For this reason they are not enjoy the scenery of a winter morning. When the fog gradually disappears everyone go to their work. A winter morning is very enjoyable to me. A Street Hawker A man who sells various things by moving from door to door is a street hawker. He is the most common figure in the cities and towns. He carries his tools on head sometimes in hand and sometimes in bag. His life is full of sadness. He worked all day long but he earns not much more. He is very poor. He worked very hard. He brigs toys, sweets and many things for children. Generally his customers are children and women. He speaks differently to attract the attention of customers. He knows his business very well. He also knows when he comes out to sell his things. When housemaster is at home, he never comes. He sells his things at cheaper rate. Street Hawker is known not only in village but also all over the country. His life is very miserable. He gets up early in the morning and starts his work quickly. He returns at home lately. After working hard, he does not earn a lot. But with his small income he tries to become always be happy. A street hawker is a very popular character in the society. So we should show him proper respect. . A School Magazine A school magazine is a magazine that contains the writing of the teachers and the students of a school. It is published every year. Most of the well known schools publish this magazine. It contains poem, jokes, articles and many short stories which are written by teachers and students.

And students learn may things from a school magazine, Moreover it is an important part of a school.

It is a big problem in Bangladesh. Now a day traffic jam is so heavy and it kills our valuable time. In modern life, it’s so big and large problem in our country. It occurs when drivers are not willing to obey the traffic rules. The causes of traffic jam are many. The main cause of traffic jam is overtaking tendency and traffic policy is also insufficient. Most of our roads are narrower than our demand. For these reasons, traffic jam is getting acute day by day. At office time traffic jam is unthinkable. It blocks roads half a kilometre or more. It is very harmful for us. At the time of traffic jam I feel so bad because our time is wasted. Taking some necessary steps we can remove traffic jam easily. Traffic rules should be enforced strictly. Sufficient traffic police should be posted. And unlicensed vehicles should be removed. Spacious road according to demand should be constructed. After doing all this things we can hope a traffic jam free country and save our valuable time. Load Shedding Load shedding means the discontinuation of supply of electricity. Load shedding is caused for different causes. It occurs when production of electricity is less than the demand. It also causes because of unplanned distribution, system loss and illegal connection. Houses, mills, factories, shops, hospitals, offices all fall a victim to it. Load shedding creates many problems for us. And it disturbs the study of the students. Load shedding affects the economy of our country. In refrigerator food gets rotten. It creates many problems which disturb our daily life very badly. The daily life becomes painful. For all the reasons, we should take some steps to stop load shedding. When the production is more than the demand this problem can be solved. Illegal connection should also be stopped. Moreover, load shedding is getting one of the biggest problems in our country. A Book Fair I Visited A book fair is a fair where books are displayed and sold. Now a day it has become very popular.
