9. Life of a teacher
A teacher is a person who teaches in a school, college or a university. But it usually denotes a school-teacher. A teacher is a highly respected person in any society. The life of a teacher is quite simple. He is a man of plain living and high thinking. He belongs to a noble profession and his life is a noble one. It appears that a teacher has long vacations to enjoy and therefore, he does not have much work to do. But this is wrong Idea. As a matter of fact, a teacher has a lot of work to do. He has to make an annual lesson plan for his students. He takes up classes and takes them in the class according to that plan to prepare his lesson at home before going to take up classes. This consumes a great deal of his time. Besides, he has to check the homework of the students. He has to frame question papers for the students weekly, monthly and termination examinations. Then he has to look over their answer scripts. All these are strenuous job. Sometimes a teacher has to spend his time by the sweat of his bro, but though he spends a very busy time and is generally held in high esteem, in our society he is often neglected and given a very poor salary. Though he is the architect of the nation, his salary is not commensurate with his responsibility and his work. So we have a great responsibility to a teacher. We have to vindicate and uphold his social status and ensure the emoluments that he deserves.. Writing an Application

Subject : Prayer for the development of the girls common room
Sir,
I beg most respectfully to state that the facilities available in the girls common room are very poor. Besides, the number of students has increased considerably this year. So, the common room is always crowded. But many of the girls students have to idle away their time. More newspapers and more facilities for indoor games can keep them engaged. Two more newspapers � one Bengali and one English, four more chessboards with chessman and a ping-pong table will do for the present.
I therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind enough to give orders to supply the articles mentioned above.
Yours obediently,
Keramat Ali

2. Writing a dialogue
A dialogue between myself (Rezwan) and my friend (Tareq) about good and bad effects of television
Rezwan : Listen to me, Tareq, please.
Tareq : Yes, tell me please
Rezwan : What do you think of the good effects of television?
Tareq : Advantages of television- many and many- too many to count. In a word, the world comes close to our eyes with the help of television
Rezwan : Right. Television is the most modern means of amusement. It has also a lot of educative values. We can hear the speech of eminent persons. It has proved its superiority over newspapers, radios and other means.
Tareq : Cant we watch and see the news and views of home and abroad?
Rezwan : Why not? As soon as we switch on television, the news of the farthest corner of the globe appears before our eyes. We can see the current news through it. Don�t you think about its important pastime?
Tareq : Your thinking is right. The dwellers of village as well as the towns watch TV as it is their pastime. They enjoy watching drama, jatra song live show of different functions and so on.
Tareq : Everything is okay. But it�s true that every action has its reaction as well. Television has bad side also. It harms us when we misuse it. Doesn�t it?
Rezwan : Definitely. I also shudder to think how so sweet can become so demonic. It can drive people to the wrong way. Sometimes youngsters become addicted to enjoying and watching TV for all day long putting off the studies.
Tareq : Obscene pictures, kidnapping, nude scenes, immoral facts hijacking, looting etc are shown on TV screens. Watching these harmful things people walk on the wrong way.
Rezwan : The guardians as well as the authority should be aware of the bad effects of TV
Tareq : Thank you
Rezwan : Welcome. See you later.
