A Winter Morning

A winter morning is cold and misty. Dew drops fall on the blades of the grass and the leaves of
the trees. The whole nature seems to wear a dress of peace and purity. The sun is visible a little
late than usual. Little children and old people are afraid of the biting cold of the morning. When
the sun rises, people get up from bed. Many of the villagers are found basking in the sun. They
are not in a hurry, but officials and people in towns hurry to attend their daily business. People
love to eat sweets, delicious winter cakes and different items of winter food. Those who can not
manage warm clothes suffer much in a winter morning. It is a painful period for the poor. They
sit around a fire place and enjoy the heat. They feel fresh and energetic. However, with the
rising of the sun, the fog disappears. The biting cold decreases. People start the day's work with
warm clothes on. Moreover, the fields of crops look beautiful. In fact, a winter morning offers a
very pleasant sensation of life in Bangla-desh.

A Street Hawker
A street hawker is a poor trader. He moves from street to street or goes from door to door with
various articles. He knows the art of convincing. He shouts loudly with peculiar words to draw
the attention of the customers. He generally offers toys, fruits, biscuits, vegetables, saries,
laces, ribbons, utensils, ready-made garments, fancy goods, cosmetics and so on. Bargaining
goes on for a long time and the price of the article is fixed. On the contrary, there is another kind
of hawker who buys newspapers, blank-pots, old books, torn clothes from the houses. He
leaves his house very early in the morning. He remains busy selling his articles upto mid-night.
He can also be seen in cinema halls, exhibition, zoos and school-college campuses. His income

exhausted. In our Bangladesh, a street hawker lives a miserable life. In fact, he plays an

Computer
Computer is the latest & the most excellent miracle of modern science. We now live in a
computer age; computer has become our friend, philosopher and guide.
 The word computer is derived from the verb 'Compute' meaning to reckon or calculate
something.
In 1643 B. Pascal, a French mathematician invented a mechanical calculating machine. In 1812
Charles Barrage invented improved model of mechanical computer. The first electro-mechanical
computer was made jointly by Harvard University & IBM Company in
1946. Since 1971 major improvements in computer technology have led to the development of
modern day computers.
Computers are classified according to the size, speed & internal structure such as super
computer, main-frame computer & micro computer. PC (personal computers) are the most
popularly used computers in the world.
The main aspects of a computer are hardware & software. Hardware is the machine itself
consisting of RAM, central processing unit (CPU) and hard disk. The software is the program-es
which help the hardware to function according to users demand. The most commonly used
softwares are DOS and Microsoft Windows. A PC comprises of keyboard, system unit and
monitor.
Scientifically computer is an electronic device that receives data which are fed into it, stores the
data inside of it and processes the data according to instructions. Computer can receive
numerous data & instructions and perform millions of calculation within seconds. It is capable of
manipulating the input data and make conclusion according to instructions.
Computers are widely used in medical diagnosis & treatment, Banks, Govt. & private offices,
NGO's, business houses, publishing, etc.
Computers are also used in remitting messages through e-mail.
Computer has come to our country with immense possibilities.
Presently people are becoming quite dependent on computer for their day-to-day work, for word
processing, data analysis, preparation of spread-sheets, inter-office mail and international
communication. So, the conscious and learned people should take up the steps to
familiarize the uses of computer to the general people at large.
Consequently, the countrymen will be benefited.

Value of Time
Our life is nothing but a collection of moments. So every moment of our life is very precious. Life
is very short but uncertain. We do not know when we shall die. Within the short period, we are to
build-up our life.
In order to make good use of time, we must follow a routine for work strictly. We know that the
secret of success in life lies in the proper use of time. In our student life, we should be very
much careful about the use of time. According to the poet,
“Time you old gipsy man,
Will you not stay?
Put up your caravan, Just for one day?”
(Time, You Old Gipsy Man / Ralph Hodgson)
Time flies fast. It never stops. That is, time once lost is lost for ever. If a student spoils time
through evil company, he must suffer in the long run. The duties and responsibilities of students
must be done in student life. These can not be done in old age. It will help us to reach the goal.
Active and conscious people know the value of time. They do not waste their time in vain. As a
result, they become successful in life.
An idle brain is the devil's workshop. If we waste our time in idleness, all sorts of evil thoughts
will come to our mind. Besides, people become unhealthy if they remain idle all the time. Idle
people can not achieve anything. They are nuisance to the society.
If we study the life of the great men of the world, we find that they made proper use of time. The
life of the great prophet, the saints, the political leaders and social leaders teach us to make
right use of time. By following their examples, we may also be able to prosper in life in future.
As we are the best creation of God, we should not neglect time. If we neglect our time, it makes
our life barren like the desert. If we fail to perform our duties in proper time, we shall be liable to
our next generation. Their future, of course, depends on how we utilise our time. In fact, proper
utilization of time brings not only money but also peace, happiness and prosperity. Therefore,
we should utilise time properly in every sphere of life.
