                                                                                (1) TRAFFIC JAM                                            

Traffic jam means a long line of vehicles(‡fBKjm-hvbenb) that can not move or that can move very slowly. Traffic jam is a common(Kgb-mvavib) affair in the big cities of our country. It occurs(AKvi-N‡U) every now and then in the cities. Sometimes(mvgUvBgm-gv‡Sgv‡S) traffic jam lasts for a long time and sometimes it lasts for a short time. There are many causes(K‡Rmm-Kvib) of traffic jam. Vehicles are much more than the roads can accommodate(A¨v‡Kvgy‡WU-RvqMv Kiv). The indiscriminate(BbwWmwµwg‡bU-‡eciqv) plying(cøvBs-Pj) of rickshaw is the main reason(wiRb-Kvib) of traffic jam. Haphazard(n¨vcn¨vRviW-G‡jv‡g‡jv) parking of vehicles alongside the pavement(‡cf‡g›U-dzUcvZ) also causes traffic jam. Again buses do not care for bus stand and load and unload passengers at any place. The drivers do not follow(d‡jv-Abymib Kiv) Traffic rules. Overtaking(Afvi‡UwKs-bvMvj) tendency(‡Ub‡WwÝ-g‡bvfve) of the drivers of buses and rickshaw pullers(cyjvim) causes traffic jam. Traffic jam causes untold sufferings(mvdviBs-‡fvMvwšÍ) to people. Sometimes it rises our mental tension. We have to wait to reach our destination(wWmwU‡bmb-MšÍe¨). It is boring. Traffic jam can be removed by enforcing traffic rules strictly. Besides, The construction(KbGmUªvKmb-wbg©vb) of spacious(Gmwcwmqvm-PIiv) roads, by passes, one way movement of vehicles and fly over can solve this problem. And we can reduce(wiwWDm-Kgvb) traffic jam by rising public awareness.

(2)A WINTER MORNING

A winter(DBbUvi) morning is misty and cold. There is dense(‡WÝ) fog everywhere. Sometimes the fog is so dense that the sun rays can not get through(‡_ªv it. Even things at a little distance(wWmU¨vÝ) can hardly be seen. Bird’s chirping(Pviwcs) is not heard. The cow and other animals(A¨vwbgjm) can not come out. But it is not so in every morning. Dew drops fall on leaves and blades(eøv‡Wm-WMv) of grass at night. They look like glittering(wMwjUviBs) pearls(c¨vijm-gy³v) when the rays of the morning sun fall on them. Village children(wPj‡Wªb) and people have hardly warm cloths. They gather (M¨v`vi) straw and dry leaves(wjfm) to make fire(dvqvi) to warm themselves. The old and the poor bask(ev¯‹) in the sun in order to warm themselves. People in general (‡Rbv‡ij-mvavib) and children get up late. So everyone is busy in taking breakfast (‡eªKdv÷), dressing (‡Wªwms) and getting ready(‡iwW) for going to their respective(‡im‡cKwUf) places. In a winter morning one can enjoy delicious(wWwjmvm) and sweet cakes, pias of date juice and many other things. The scene(wmÝ) of the winter morning vanishes(‡fwb‡mm) as the day advances. The sun goes up and the fog melts. A winter morning is enjoyable(BbRqGej) in many respects.

(3) A TEA STALL

A tea stall is a common(Kgb-mvaviY) sight in our country. It is found(dvDÛ-cvIqv) in cities, towns, bazaar, railway stations bus stands and even in villages. It is a small shop. In a tea stall there are few chairs, tables or benches. Prepared(wcwicviW) tea is sold here. Biscuits, cakes, loafs,bananas, cigarettes(wmMv‡iU) and betel leaf are also sold here. There is often a boy or two to serve tea to the customers. The manager(g¨v‡bRvi-e¨ve¯’cK) sits behind the catch box and collects(Kv‡j±m-msMÖn Kiv) money from the customer. An ordinary tea stall is dirty. A kettle(‡KUwj) is always kept hot on the stove. A tea stall opens in the morning and closes late night. A tea stall is a popular(ccyjvi –RbwcÖq) place. People of different(wWdv‡i›U-wfbœ) ages and classes come here. They take tea and talk with one another. They discuss on various subjects. They also talk on village politics, national and international politics(cwjwUKm) and on current(Kv‡i›U-Pjgvb) affairs. Sometimes customers raise a storm over a cup of tea. A tea stall is an important(BgciU¨v›U-¸iæZ¦c~Y©) place of social gathering indeed.

(4) A STREET HAWKER

A street hawker deals in various(‡fwiqvm-wewfbœ) things by hawking(nwKs) from street to street. He carries(‡Kwim-enb Kiv) his materials(g¨vUvwiqvjm-gvjcG) on head and sometimes in a small handicart. He generally buys his goods at a cheaper(wPcvi-m¯Ív) rate and sells them at a good profit. A street hawker is very cunning. He knows his business very well. His customers(Kvm‡Uvgvi-MÖvnK) are children and women. He brings toys, sweets and other things for children and sells them at a fixed price at a good rate. He also brings bangles, ribbons, clothings, fruits, utensils(BD‡Ubwmj-evmb‡Kvmb), fancy goods and things of domestic(W‡gmwUK-mvsmvwiK) uses for women. He speaks in different(wWdv‡i›U-wfbœ) ways to draw the attention of his customers. A hawker also knows the time/ hour of his business. He does not come when housemasters(nvDmgv÷vi-M„nKZ©v) are at home. Rather(i¨v`vi-eis) he comes when housemasters are out of home and when women are free from their household work and duties.

 

 

 

 

(5) A RAINY DAY ( G †iwb †W)

On a rainy day it rains all day long. A rainy day is dull(Wvj) and gloomy(‡Møvwg). The sky is overcast(IfviKv÷) with thick clouds(K¬vDWm-‡gN). The sky is not seen. None can go out without an umbrella(Avg‡eªjv). Water stands on roads and roads become muddy(gvwW) and slippery(wmwjcvwi. Those who have offices and other business(wewR‡bm) go out with umbrellas over the head, shoes in hand and clothes folded(‡dvj‡WW) upto knee(bx). Passers-by also move in the same way. Sometimes people slip and fall on the muddy road. When it rains in torrents(U‡i›Um), people get drenched(‡W‡iÝW) and stop midway(wgWI‡q). The poor suffer(mvdvi) much on a rainy day. They can not go out in quest(Kz‡q÷) of work and can not earn their daily food. They pass the day through(‡_ªv) sufferings(mvdviBs) .Most of the students do not go to school. Only a few go to school but they get drenched on the way. So classes are not held and it is a day of great joy to them. Other people also stay at home and pass the day without doing anything. The cattle keep standing(GmUvbwWs) in their sheds(‡mWm) and bellow fodder. A rainy day is not pleasant(‡cø‡R›U) at all

(6) A SCHOOL MAGAZINE

A school magazine(g¨vMvwRb-wewPGv) is a magazine that contains(Kb‡UBbm) the writings of the teachers and the students of a school. Almost every well established(GmUvewj÷) school publishes a magazine every year. It gives a view of the life of the school and reveals(wi‡fjm) the creative(wKªwUf) genius(wRwbqvm) of the students. It contains poems, articles and short stories all written by the teachers and students. The publication(cvewj‡Kmb) of a school magazine is a very difficult(wWwdKvë) task. The editor and his assistants have to work hard to publish the magazine. The magazine committee(KwgwU) invites writings from students and teachers. The editorial(BwWUwiqvj) board selects the qualified ones for printing. The school magazine serves many useful purposes(cvicv‡mm). The most important is that it brings out the latent creative talents of the students and thus helps them to be great writers. A student feels proud and happy when he finds his own writing in print. The school magazine also reflects the academic(GKv‡WwgK) and co-curricular(‡Kv-KvwiKzjvi) activities(A¨vKwUwewUm) of the school. It is a treasure(‡UªRvi) island to the students. The students can learn many things from the school magazine. In a word the school magazine mirrors(wgiim) the school.

(7) YOUR SCHOOL LIBRARY (BDi ¯‹zj jvB‡eªwi)

A school library is a store house of knowledge(bwjR-Ávb). A library plays an important(Bgci‡U›U-¸iæZ¡c~b©) role in the realm(wig) of knowledge. A library is a part and parcel(cvi‡mj) of a school. Our school has a big library. It is housed in a separate(‡mcv‡iU-c„_K) two storeyed building. The library has a good collection(Kv‡jKmb- msMÖn). There are many almirahs. The books are arranged(A¨v‡ib&RW-mvRv‡bv) in different(wWdv‡i›U-wewfbœ) shelves(‡mj‡fR) according(A¨vKiwWs-Abymv‡i) to subjects. The reading room and the office room of the librarian(jvB‡ªewiqvb) are separate. The librarian has some assistants(A¨vwmmU¨›U). There is a big reading room. When we take the help of a catalogue(K¨vUvjM), the assistants at once find the book and help us. We are issued(BmyW) library cards. We can borrow(‡ev‡iv-avi Kiv) books from the library. We are to return(wiUvb©) the borrowed books after two weeks.  In the reading room we can read as many books as we like. Silence(mvB‡jÝ-wbieZv) is must here. Nobody is allowed(A¨v‡jvW-AbygwZ) to make noise. I am proud of my school library.

(8) TREE PLANTATION

Tree plantation(cøvb‡Umb-e„¶‡ivcb) means planting trees in large number. Trees are very important to us in many ways. We can not think of our existence(&GMwRm‡UÝ-‡e‡Pu _vKv) without trees. Trees cover a great deal of our food deficiency(wWwdwm‡qwÝ-Afve) by providing(‡cv‡ivfv&BwWs-mieivn) fruits and vitamins. They supply(mvcjvB-mieivn Kiv) timber for various(‡ewiqvm-wewfbœ) uses. Trees prevent(wcwi‡f›U-cÖwZ‡iva Kiv) soil erosion(B‡ivRb-fvγb). Many kinds of medicines(‡gwWwmb-Ilya) are prepared(wcwicviW-cÖ¯‘Z Kiv) from leaves, roots and barks of trees. Above all they help us to keep ecological(B‡Kv‡jvwRK¨vj-ev¯‘ms¯’vb) balance supplying oxyzen. Generally trees are planted in July and August. They can be planted in roadsides and in all educational institutions. But our trees and forests are not sufficient(mvwdm›U-chv©ß) in proportion(cÖcimb-AbycvZ) to our total land area. Our govt has already taken a tree plantation programmes. To make this programme a success, first of all, we must motive(‡gvwUf-‡cÖib RvMvb) people and raise awareness about the importance of tree plantation. Then we must conduct a united(BDbvB‡UW-GK‡G) drive for tree plantation and take necessary steps to preserve the planted saplings(m¨vcwjs-PvivMvQ).
