Important Summary
 Unit-1, Lesson-1

My brothers, The Assembly has been called into session on the 25th of March. But the
blood spilled on our streets has not yet dried. About the 10th of this month, I have told
them: Mujibur Rahman won't join the Round Table Conference because that would
mean wading over the blood that has been shed. Although you have called the
Assembly into session, you'll have to listen to my demands first. You'll have to
withdraw Martial Law. You'll have to return all army personnel to their barracks.
You'll have to investigate the way our people have been murdered. And you'll have to
transfer power to the representatives of the people. It is only then that I'll decide
whether we will take our seats in the Assembly or not. I don’t want the Prime
Minister's office. We want the people of this country to have their rights. I want to
state clearly that from this day Bangladesh's courts, magistracies, government offices
and educational institutions will be shut down indefinitely. Remember: since we have
already had to shed blood, we'll have to shed a lot more ofit; by the Grace of God,
however, we'll be able to liberate the people ofthis land. The struggle this time is a
struggle forfreedom-the struggle this time is a struggle for emancipation. Long live
Bengal!
Summary: The speech of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman 7 March reshaped the
history of Bangladesh. Bangabandhu made a clear focus on the total independence of this
land throughout his golden speech. The Pakistani rulling machine converted this land into a
crimson shade of blood for 23 years. They deprived us politically, economically, culturally
and in every sector of national and international perspectives. Through this speech, the
people of the country had got the final directive on how they should act with the autocratic
Pakistani junta. This vigorous speech encouraged our people to prepare for the War of
Independence.

 Unit-3, Lesson-1
Dreams have fascinated philosophers for thousands of years, but only
recently have dreams been subjected to empirical research and scientific
study. Chances are that you've often found yourself puzzling over the content
of a dream, or perhaps you've wondered why you dream at all. First, let's
start by answering a basic question: What is a dream? A dream can include
any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep.
Dreams can be extraordinarily vivid or very vague; filled with joyful
emotions or frightening images; focused and understandable or unclear and
confusing. Why do we dream? What purpose do dreams serve? While many
theories have been proposed, no consensus has emerged. Considering the
time we spend in a dreaming state, the fact that researchers do not yet
understand the purpose of dreams may seem baffling. However, it is
important to consider that science is still unraveling the exact purpose and
function of sleep itself. Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real
purpose, while others believe that dreaming is essential to mental, emotional
and physical well-being.
Summary: The text is about dreams introducing its causes and purposes along
with some prominent dream theories. Dream is a representation of unconscious
wishes, thoughts and imaginations. Dream may be sweet or horrible. But
dream has also a real purpose if it is related to mental, emotional and physical
well-being. The main benefit of dream is that it produces new ideas and
thoughts in brain and helps to clean up clutter from mind. But researchers
don't yet understand the purpose clearly and science is trying to unravel it.

 Unit-4, Lesson-1
As a child you must have been told to greet your elders and visitors to your home according to your
culture and tradition. You must also have been taught to be polite in company and keep quiet while
others, especially your elders, spoke. Possibly, you at times grudged such schooling. Possibly, at
times you even protested such disciplining. Now, certainly you know that you can't always behave
the way you want specially in the presence of others. There are rules of behaviour you have to
follow in a company. We are social beings and have to consider the effect of our behaviour on
others, even if we are at home in dealing with our family members. We have two terms to describe
our social behaviour - 'etiquette' and 'manners 'Etiquette' is a French word and it means the rules
of correct behaviour in society. The word 'manners’ means the behaviour that is considered to be
polite in a particular society or culture. Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad
manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad-mannered person. Remember that
etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society. We learn etiquette
and manners from our parents, families and various institutions, such as schools, colleges or
professional bodies. There are rules of behaviour for all kinds of social
occasions and it is important to learn them and practise them in everyday life. The manners that
are correct in a wedding reception will not do in a debating club. Therefore, we have to be careful
about etiquette and manners. We know how important it is to say 'please' and 'thank you' in
everyday life. A few more polite expressions such as 'pardon me,' 'excuse me,’ 'may 1,' are bound to
make your day smooth and pleasant.
Summary: This text is written about etiquette and manners of human beings in
everyday life. 'Etiquette' means the formal rules of correct behaviour in a society. The
word 'manners’ means the behaviour, considered to be polite in a particular society or
culture. As the children are the future leaders, they have to be brought up by
instructing correct etiquette and manners from their childhood on the basis of place,
time and persons. Besides, we have to be careful about learning and practicing etiquette
and manners in our everyday life.

 Unit-6, Lesson-2
Adolescents constitute a nation's core resource for national renewal and growth.
Adolescence is a period in life when transtition from childhood to adulthood takes
place and behaviours and lifestyles are shaped. According to the World Health
Organisation (WHO), adolescence is the period which shapes the future of girls and
boys' lives. There are 28 million adolescents in Bangladesh; 13.7 million of them are
girls and 14.3 million boys. The situation of adolescent girls in Bangladesh is
marginalization by inequality and subordination within the family and society. This
inequality leads to widespread practice of child marriage, marginalization or exclusion
from health, education and economic opportunities, and vulnerability to violence and
sexual abuse. In Bangladesh, the legal age of marriage is 18 for girls and 21 for boys.
However, 33 Percentof adolescent girls are married before the age of 15 and 60 become
mothers by the age of 19.
Research finds that adolescents with higher level of education and from more affluent
families tend to marry at a later age. Boys, however, become ready for marriage only
after several years of adolescence and young adulthood.
Summary: The lesson is about some typical health problems experienced by adolescent
girls and boys. When a girl is married off at an early age, she is tortured and abused for
dowry even after the marriage. When an adolescent girl is pulled out of school, she loses
her mobility, friends and social status. As a result, she is deprived of basic knowledge
like health issue. So, they are vulnerable to deadly diseases. On the other hand, the
situation of adolescent boys is somewhat better. But still they are vulnerable to being
drawn into criminal activities, drugs and alcohol.

Children's right to education also implies that the school they go to will have a
pleasant and learning-friendly environment where everyone will have an enjoyable
time. Teachers will be kind, caring and supportive and children will feel relaxed. No
harsh words will be spoken to them and special care will be taken of children with
learning disabilities. That, unfortunately is not the general picture in our schools. The
system of education in our part of the world does not allow children much freedom
and classrooms look more like cages
where they are pent up for hours. Rabindranath Tagore found it unacceptable; so did
WilliamBlake, an English poet and painter, whose favourite subjects included
children. In his school
where dour-faced teachers give joyless lessons. He would rather like to be outdoors
and
enjoy the summer day. He pleads with his parents to rescue him from the drudgery of
school.
Summary: The text is about the suitable environment of schools
that will have a pleasant and learning friendly where children will
have an enjoyable time. The teacher should be kind, supportive
and caring. But unfortunately the environment of our school are
not like that. There classroom look more like cages and they are
not provided with freedom. So, they want to escape from such
schooling.

 Unit-8, Lesson-4

My name is Amerigo. I am 13 years old and I live on the street, alone. My mother, who
is separated from my father, doesn't want me. She told me to go away. Now she is
married to another man. My father lives very far away. I want to go to him, but he
won't take me either. I begged him to send me some money so that I could buy a bus
ticket. I am still waiting. He hasn't answered.
The streets are now my home. Sometimes I find work. I used to collect trash and sell it
to a vendor. I stopped doing that after I had a serious infection and a doctor told me to
stay away from the trash dump. Once I worked for an ice cream shop owner and sold
ice-cream on the beach. But I got no money in return. The owner of the shop gave me
something to eat, and let me sleep in his hut at night. The work was difficult and
painful. The ice-cream box is quite heavy when it is full. I had to walk for hours,
offering my ice cream to whoever wanted
to buy. There were days when I could not even sell one ice cream.
Summary: The story depicts the reality of a street child for hunger and
shelter named
Amerigo. He is only 13 and abandoned by his parents. So he makes the
streets his home. To survive, he attempts dangerous work like collecting
trash and selling those. They sleep in hunger and do not know where would
be the next place to sleep. A child like Amerigo, stands as the symbol of our
drawbacks who demands to sleep in peace at home.

 Unit-12, Lesson-1
The river Buriganga is an example of a dying river. A report published in the Daily Sun
describes what has happened to the river Buriganga and why. Its water is polluted and a
perpetual stench fills the air around it. But that is not what it was like before.
The report says that the river had a glorious past. Once it was a tributary of the mighty
Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal through the river Dhaleshwari. Gradually, it lost
its link with the Ganges and got the name Buriganga. The Mughals marveled at the tide level
of the Buriganga and founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks in 1610. The river
supplied drinking water and supported trade and commerce. Jahangirnagar was renamed
Dhaka which grew into a heavily populated city with chronic shortage of space.
The city paid back the bounty of the river by sucking life out of it! According to newspaper
report, the Buriganga is dying because of pollution. Huge quantities of toxic chemicals and
wastes from mills and factories, hospitals and clinics and households and other
establishments are dumped into the river everyday. The city of Dhaka discharges about 4500
tons of solid waste everyday and most of it is directly released into the Buriganga. According
to the Department of the Environment (DoE), 20,000 tons of tannery waste, including some
highly toxic materials, are released into the river everyday. Experts identified nine industrial
areas in and around the capital city as the primary sources of river pollution: Tongi, Tejgaon,
Hazaribagh, Tarabo, Narayanganj. Savar, Gazipur, Dhaka Export Processing Zone and
Ghorashal.
Summary: The historically important river Buriganga supplied drinking
water and supported trade and commerce. And on its banks the Mughals
founded their capital. But, the scenario has changed with the passage of time.
The river is dying now because of pollution. Hundreds of tons of toxic
chemicals and wastes from mills and factories of Dhaka city are being
dumped into the river. We have to take care of our rivers to get rid of future
water crisis

 Unit-12, Lesson-2
Bangladesh is blessed with huge inland open water resources. It has numerous river canals, beels,
lakes, and vast areas of floodplains. Hakaluki haor is one of the major wetlands of
Bangladesh. With a land area of 18,386 hectares, it supports a rich biodiversity and provides
direct and indirect livelihood benefits to nearly 190,000 people. This haor was declered an
Ecologically Critical Area in April 1999 by the government of Bangladesh.
Hakaluki is a complex ecosystem, containing more than 238 interconnecting beels and
jalmahals. The most important beels are Chatla, Pinlarkona, Dulla, Sakua, Barajalla,
Balijhuri, Lamba, Tekonia, Haorkhal, Tural, Baghalkuri and Chinaura.
Hakaluki Haor is an important source of fisheries resources for Bangladesh. Kalibaus, Boal,
Rui, Ghagot, Pabda, and Chapila are the main fish species found here. From the Kushiara
there are frequent upstrem movement of fish towards the beels and tributaries of Hakaluki
haor porvide winter shelter for the mother fisheries. In early monsoon these mother fisheries
produce millions of fries for the entire downstream fishing communities. Floodplains are
also an important source of fisheries resources within the area. However, many of the beels
have lost their capacity to provid shelter for mother fisheries because of sand deposits from
upstream rivers and canals, use of complete dewatering technique for fishing and lack of
aquatic plants to provide feed and shelter for parent fish.
Summary : Hakaluki Haor is one of the major wetlands of Bangladesh
which is a complex ecosystem supporting a rich biodiversity. The haor
provides direct and indirect livelihood benefits almost two lakh people. It is
an important fisheries source for Bangladesh providing winter shelter for
mother fisheries. But, many of the areas of the haor have lost their capacity
because of sand deposits use of dewatering technique and lack of aquatic
plant.

 Unit-12, Lesson-3

Kuakata, locally known as Sagar Kannya (Daughter of the Sea) is a rare scenic spot located
on the southermost tip of Bangladesh. Kuakata in Latachapli union under Kalapara Police
Station of Patuakhali district is about 30 km in length and 6 km in breadth. It is 70 km from
Patuakhali district headquarters and 320 km from Dhaka. An excellent combination of the
picturesque natural beauty, sandy beaches, blue sky and the shimmering expanse of water of
the Bay of Bengal and the evergreen forest makes kuakata a much sought after tourist
destination. The name Kuakata tekes its origin from the story of a 'Kua'- or well-dug on the sea
shore by the early Rakhain settlers for collecting drinking water. The Rakhaines had landed on
Kuakata coast after being expelled from Arakan by the Mughals. Following the first well, it
became a tradition to dig wells in the neighborhood of Rakhaine homesteads for fresh water
supply.
Kuakata is one of the unique spots which allow a visitor to watch both the sunrise and the
sunset from the beach. That perhaps makes Kuakata one of the world's most attractive
beaches. The long and wide beach at Kuakata has a typical natural setting. This sandy beach
slopes gently into the Bay and bathing there is as pleasant as is swmming or diving.
Summary : Kuakata is a rare scenic spot which is full of natural beauty,
sandy beaches, blue sky, evergreen forest and sparkling expanse of water of
the Bay of Bengal. One can enjoy both the sunrise and the sunset from the
beach. Kuakata is not only an attractive tourist place but also the home of
the indigenous Rakhaine community. However, attractive beaches and
wonderful natural beauty have made Kuakata a true daughter of the sea.

 Dress doesn’t Make a Man Wit / Sheikh Saadi’s Wit

Question: Sheikh Saadi was a great poet. Once he was going to the court of the king of Iran. He took shelter in a
rich
man’s house on his way to the court. The rich man did not treat him well. Sheikh Saadi was not wearing
costly and gorgeous dress.

Answer: Sheikh Saadi was a great poet. Once he was going to the court of the king of Iran. He took shelter in a
rich
man’s house on his way to the court. Sheikh Saadi was wearing a very ordinary and cheap cloth. The
treatment he received in the rich man’s house offended him. But he did not say anything.
On the next day Sheikh Saadi went to the court of the king and was received with honour. He stayed there
for a few days. He composed some beautiful poems and entertained the king and his courtiers. He received
rich gifts from the king. On his way to his village he again visited that rich man's house. This time, the rich
man was surprised to see Sheikh Saadi in a rich ornamental dress and treated him with the best of the foods
and comfort.
While eating, Saadi was surprised to see the rich delicious food and understood the rich man’s attitude.
Sheikh Saadi then instead of eating the food, started putting them into the pockets of his rich cloth. This
surprised the rich man. “Why are you putting the food into the pockets of your dress?”, said the rich man.
“I am putting them into the pockets of my dress because these foods are meant for my dress, not for me,”
said Saadi. The rich man realized his earlier folly and became ashamed.
 An Ant and a Dove

very beautiful today.” He saw that the crow was not responding. Then, he said, “You can sing very
sweetly. Could you please sing a song? I’m eager to hear a song from you?”
This time the crow became flattered. So, it began to sing loudly. But no sooner had it opened its lips to
sing than the piece of meat fell into the ground from its beak. At once the fox took it and began to eat.
After eating the piece of meat, he said, “O friend crow, never be flattered by praising”. The crow
became shocked realizing
its fault.

Question: Once upon a time, a crow became very thirsty. It was summer and the weather
was very hot. There was little water in that place. The crow flew here and there
looking for water. But it could not find water anywhere. It seems that it was
about to die for the thirst of water. But it did not lose heart.
A Thirsty Crow and a Jar with Little Water

Answer: Once upon a time, a crow became very thirsty. It was summer and the weather was
very hot. There was little water in that place. The crow flew here and there looking
for water. But it could not find water anywhere. It seems that it was about to die
for the thirst of water. But it did not lose heart.
The crow continued its search and found a pitcher to drink water. But there was a
little water at the bottom of the pitcher. The crow tried to drink but failed. The water
level was too far for the crow’s beak to reach. It tried to find out a good plan. At
once it hit upon a plan. It picked up stones one by one and dropped them into the
pitcher. After dropping a number of stones, the water level in the jar roses high
enough to reach. Then, the crow drank water. Thus the crow saved his life by the
use of his wisdom.

My dear Asif,
I am very glad to receive your letter. I am also glad that you have wanted to know what I
intend to do after my HSC Examination. My examination is over. Now I have decided to
come back to my village. There I shall teach some of the adult persons who are still
illiterate. I will help them learn how to read and write. I shall also make them conscious of
environment, health and other necessary things. I think that every student should engage
themselves in removing illiteracy when they get vacation. However, I also want to know
your intention. With best wishes to your parents and love to your younger brother and
sister.

Yours ever
Arif.

03. Write a letter to your younger brother/friend about the importance of reading newspaper.
10 Motijhee l,
Dhaka
6 March 2022

My dear Rahmat,
I am very glad to receive your letter. You are interested to know about the benefits and importance of
reading
newspaper. Many thanks for such a letter. Reading newspaper means reading current history. It has a
lot of benefits. If you read newspaper regularly, you can know what is happening around the world.
Reading newspaper will make you a conscious and good citizen. It will increase your general
knowledge. If you read newspaper regularly, it will develop your vocabulary. There is a children's
page in newspaper. If you read it, you will have both joy and knowledge. Newspaper tells you about
market price, job opportunities, lost and found things and advertisements. It contains the news of
things for sale and purchase. You can know weather report and views of important people as well as
policy of the Government. Newspaper has some demerits. But still reading a newspaper is good for you
if you want to learn
from it. Remember one thing, never read newspaper leaving your lessons.
I am fine. With love to you.
Your elder brother
Nadim.

04. Write a letter to your friend Nasif telling him about the study tour you enjoyed a few days ago.

17, Station Road, Natore

10 February 2022
Dear Nasif,
Heartfelt love to you. I hope you all are quite well. I am well too. You would be pleased to know that recently we
went to a study tour from our college. Let me give you a description of the tour. I along with some of my friends
decided to go on a study tour. According to the decision, we went to the study tour on the 25 January. We went to
the Shat Gambuj Mosque in Bagerhat. You know it is a place of historical interest. We had hired a bus to go there.
We also took with us other necessary things. The hired bus took us to the place without any difficulty. We reached
there before the expected time. Reaching there we began to visit the Shat Gambuj Mosque. We had taken cooked
food with us and so we did not have to cook. I was surprised to see the big and beautiful building of the mosque.
The mosque was excellently built following the Mughal style of architecture. The surroundings, especially the
Majar of Saint Khan Jahan Ali, the large tank in front of it and the crocodiles in the tank were also charming. I
had to play an important role in the tour. I was in charge of management.
However, after staying there till 3 pm, we started our
return journey. In fact, the tour really widened my outlook
and inspired me a lot to go to such tours.
Yours ever
Arif.

05. Write a letter to your younger brother about the importance of learning English.
Momin Road, Chittagong
12.08.2022
My dear Sujan,
My love is to you. I received your letter on the 8th instant and came to know that you have got very poor
marks in
English in your Half-Yearly Examination. I have observed that you are not keen to learn English. The
importance of learning English is immense. English is an international language. So the necessity of learning
English cannot be denied. English is the official and state language of many countries of the world. At present
it has become the main medium of communication. You cannot hope to communicate with the other countries
or with the foreigners without knowing English. Getting a good job now totally depends on the knowledge of
English. Books on advanced learning, science and technology and literature are also published in English.
Without having a good command over English you cannot expect to study or go through these books and
articles. For receiving higher education, learning English is a must. So if you want to keep pace with the
modern world, you ought to learn English and put more emphasis on it.
No more today. More when we will meet. I hope you will
take proper care of your study.
Your loving sister
Amita.

06. Write a letter to your younger brother/friend about the importance of physical exercise.

Mymensingh
3 January 2022
My dear brother,
Your letter is to hand. I am very glad to know that you are regular in studies. But I am worried about your
health because you are often suffering from different complaints. In order to keep in good health you should
take physical exercise. I am writing a few words about its importance. Physical exercise is a systematic
exertion of human body. It is good for us in a number of ways. It helps our muscles and nerves to work
properly. It helps to breathe more deeply and get more oxygen into our lungs. Physical
exercise helps to digest our food well and increase appetite. This is why the person who takes physical exercise
can eat enough and does not have any indigestion. It helps the blood to circulate all over the body properly. It
also prevents constipation. Physical exercise helps to remove insomnia. It increases immunity in the body.
Regular physical exercise with proper food and rest can help a man to build a good health and maintain it. So
I am advising you to take regulated form of exercise. I hope
you will follow my advice.
I am well. With best love to you.
Your elder brother
Saif.

07. Your father sent you a letter not to waste time using facebook/internet. Now, write a letter to reply it.

17, North Brook Road, Jessore

25 April, 2022
My dear father,
I hope you are hale and hearty. I have just received your letter. In your letter you have forbidden me to waste
my time by using facebook. I know it well that you have told this because of the adverse effects of facebook.
But it has some advantages too. It is a great/best way to keep in touch with the family and friends who live far
away. We can easily communicate with our near and dear ones with instant messaging and even video chat.
We can easily update status, photos and profile information through it.
In spite of having many advantages it has some disadvantages too. Many students become addicted to it and
waste their valuable time in using facebook that may hamper their studies. They suffer in the long run. I am
aware of the demerits of it. So, I am assuring you that I will take the best of it. But I will not spend much time
in
using it.
No more today. Salam to mother and love to my youngers.
Your son
Ratul
