In our country, people have different views about women. The majority cannot still consider men and women of equal terms. They are treated either with a feeling of compassion or they are deprived of their rights. Ignorance and very frequently illiteracy, among us are the main reasons behind this type of attitude. It is true that as a general rule, girls, whether from poor or rich families, are much loved and cared for by the father and brothers. We also need to remember that these are often denied by another woman. We first have to make them aware of the great harm they doing. In the matter of attitude, they need to face menfolk with the expectation of being treated rightly as a woman!

The sun is getting hotter. It is also very old. It is about 4,500 million years old. The earth's climate has been changing for all those. But the climate is heating up much faster now. Humans and their machines are responsible for this. Almost all machines use fuels such as oil, gas, coal. All produce pollution. Much of this pollution contains a gas called carbon dioxide. This gas is responsible for the pollution of the atmosphere. To prevent such we should plant trees which produce oxygen in the atmosphere.

Once upon a time there was a mother who had three daughters, the eldest of which was rude and wicked, the second much better but the youngest was a pious and good child. She was very strange because she loved the eldest daughter only and she could not bear the youngest. So, she often sent her out into the great forest in order to get rid of her. She thought that she would lose herself and never come back again. Once she could not find her way out of the forest and she walked on constantly until evening came and then she saw a tiny light burning in the distance and ran up to it at once.

Politicians always give high hopes to the common people. They also give them the assurances that they will solve all the problems if they are elected. They raise a storm over a tea cup about those problems and their solutions. They are habituated in giving false commitments. But when they come to power, they forget these to they people. Common people are puppets in the hand of them. Most of them play tricks with the people. But they should sincerely do something for the people who have elected them. They should work for the sake of them because they have a lot of expectations from them.

Trees are our best friends. Our existence on earth will be at stake without it. We inhale oxygen which trees produce. Again, we exhale carbon dioxide which it absorbs. Besides, we get foods from trees and fire wood to cook it. But some unconscious people cut down trees indiscriminately. They should be brought to book. Furthermore, one should take keen interest to plant more trees so that we can live comfortably on earth.

The patriotic feeling of the Bangalee people was always strong. They always tried to make different movements and it was possible for them because of that. The British were compelled to postpone the annual meeting about the division of Bengal in the face of such. At this stage, many young persons became inclined towards armed revolution. The British rulers took stern action against those. But they could not stop them from making continuous movements. The British colonial rule came to an end due to these. The Indian subcontinent became independent in 1947 and as such India and Pakistan came into being.

Women are nowadays as important as men in society. They constitute nearly half of our total population. No nation can make real progress keeping half of its population in darkness. Without the uplift of women, development/real progress is not at all possible. Again without education, women cannot be uplifted. So proper education should be given to women so that they can work hand in hand with men in all development programmes.

Life is full of struggles. Struggles are quite normal in any one's life as it is not a bed of roses. Certainly, life has ups and downs. A man has to face innumerable barriers in his life. Sometimes he can overcome barriers but sometimes he fails to combat barriers. He may be born with silver spoon without any trouble. But even then he has to overcome a lot of troubles to be successful in life. In other words, life is full of challenges. If he cannot fight challenges successfully, his life becomes full of sorrows. Though the scholars differ in giving the definition of life, scholars are unanimous that obstacles are the ways of life. Infact, a man has to undergo obstacles in his life.

A stormy night is fearful and horrible. It causes untold suffering to the people. In a stormy night the whole sky is totally overcast with dark cloud. Only the roaring of violent wind can be heard. The wind begins to blow with fearful sound from no directions. People get frightened with sound of storm. In addition to it, there is thundering and lightning. The frequent thundering and lightning causes much terror and fear in the mind of the people who always think that this night may be the end of their lives and the terrible and destructive storm will never come to an end. It causes harm to them. The house roofs are blown away. Many trees are uprooted. A large number of house and shelters are damaged within a very short time. Standing crops are badly damaged.
