P@ul’s Coaching
Home নামে আমার একটা কোচিং সেন্টার ছিল। কোচিংয়ের স্টুডেন্টদের লেকচার শিট দিয়ে পরাতাম। কিছু শিট এখনও আমার কাছে রয়ে গেছে। সেগুলি এক-এক করে আপনাদের সাথে শেয়ার করছি। কিছু ভুল থাকতে পারে। ক্লাসে পড়ানোর সময় শিটের ভুলগুলি শুধরে দিতাম। তবে এখন সময়ের অভাবে সেটা করতে পারলাম না। আপনারা পড়ার সময় একটু কষ্ট করে শুধরে নিয়ে পড়বেন।
আরেকটা কথা। এক্সারসাইজগুলির কোনও সল্যুশন শিট আমি কখনওই বানাইনি। ক্লাসে ইন্সট্যান্টলি সল্ভ করে দিতাম। তাই, আপনাদের কষ্ট করে নিজে সল্ভ করে-করে পড়তে হবে।

The realization came only when the recurrence of pests with greater seventy was experienced as a result of the (f) – of their natural enemies due to the use of (g) -. The application of (h) – fertilizers, however, started in Bangladesh in the early sixties with the (i) -of high-yielding varieties of rice in agriculture. Since then, fertilizers consumption has (j) – increased.

They can’t (d) – the bare necessities of their life. So, the question of getting educated doesn’t (e) – at all. Again, there are not (f) – educational institutions. Ours is an over (g) – country. In comparison to our population the (h) — of institutions is very small. Political (i) – is also a major cause. Most often there’s always (j)-in the institution.
37)Trees are very useful to humans. They (a) – the rich top soil from being (b) – away by rain water and floods. You can see trees being (c) – along mountain slopes, on road sides, and in parks and gardens. Trees give us shade. They (d) – life to a place with their colourful flowers, beautiful leaves, fruits and thick trunks. They (e) – shelter for birds and animals.

We should them and plant more trees around us.
38)Bangladesh (a) – a large population is a small country. Most people of Bangladesh cannot afford to educate the children because of (b) -. Many poor children leave school (c) – even before the completion of primary education. The number of institutions that we have in our country (d) – not enough compared to the number of students. The education which is (e) – to students in various institutions, is not sometimes up to the standard. Therefore, we need more institutions to provide for the (f) – number of students. For (g) – of money, many parents are unable to send their children to school. At present every institution is teeming (h) – students. On many occasions academic environment is (i)-by student politics. The unusual closures of educational institutions also badly (j) – the academic progress.

She highlighted that today’s girl is tomorrow’s woman and will bear the (j)- for a new generation.
40)The farmers of our country depend mostly on (a) -. They don’t follow (b) – irrigation system. So they have to (c) — on rainwater. If there is little rain, they suffer.

41)Bangladesh government has recently (a) – polythene all over the country. Obviously it is a good decision and is (b) – by all as polythene causes a harmful (c) – on our environment. Now my argument is why only polythene is to (d) – banned. Other things that pollute environment (e) – be-banned. Smoking pollutes environment. It is (f) – – to human beings.

Because of her taking proper care for (e) – and her children both (f) – and children have higher probability of (g) -. She can provide better education for her children. Her daughter also becomes (h) -. Thus she becomes the mother of an educated girl. The life cycle of an educated girl keeps (i) – with the result that an educated girl begets an educated (j) -. –
43)Education is the most essential element in our lives. To lead a happy life in this world the first thing we need, is knowledge. The world is (a) – tougher day by day and it is not very easy to (b) – a happy life. Not only a good job but, also a handsome salary is (c) – to enjoy a standard living. For that (d) – is a must. But the number of (e) – people in cur country is very few. The number of educated people is not (f) is expected due to various reasons. In most of the schools the (g) – of education is very low. In these schools the teachers are not (h) .Most of them are (i) – and some are plainly lazy. So, students do not (j)-proper knowledge from them.
44)There is much similarity between the life of Charles Kororo and the life of an average city (a) – in Bangladesh. Charles has a fixed (b) – and he has to bear the (c) – of his brothers and sisters.

The reason is that the urban population of our country is continuing to (b) – by around nine percent a year. Many of them (c) – in the dump. Some live with their parents.

So, necessary steps should be taken to (j)-their lot.
49)Education is the (a) – of a nation. It is pivotal (b) – all development and goodness. Education can (c) – the darkness of sin and ignorance.
