Rafiq: Actually, my father bought me a new mobile phone yesterday. Here it is.
Shafiq: Nice, very nice. What do you think about mobile phone?
Rafiq: Mobile phone is a very essential device. It has made our communication easy. It adds speed in our
life. We can take photo; video and we can enjoy music from a mobile.
Shafiq: Recently introduced android and windows phone work like computers.
Rafiq: Yes. By using it, we can send e-mail and make video call. It has made our life easy and
comfortable.
Shafiq: Right. It has reduced uncertainly doubt, anxious waiting and painful suspense. In fact, it has made
our life easy and comfortable.
Rafiq: I can’t do without it for a single day
Shafiq: Yes, you’re right. But there’re some demerits of mobile.
Rafiq: What are you talking about?
Shafiq: Now a day mobile has become an easy way of teasing girl. Some people commit crime using
mobile.
Rafiq: Not these are only. Much use of mobile is harmful for health. It harms our hearing power, causes
brain tumor, genetic damage and many other incurable diseases.
Shafiq: During conversation, the blood brain barrier may get damaged, the blood pressure may get high
and the red blood cells may get affected.
Rafiq: Even some students cannot concentrate in study because they talk over mobile the whole night.
Shafiq: Besides, it causes a lot of harm to the teenagers. They can easily contact with their so-called
lovers in season and out of season.
Rafiq: This point is also correct. Because the operators provide facilities at night.
Shafiq: But it is not the fault of mobile. It is our fault.
Rafiq: Of course. Though we are getting immense benefits from it, we should use it with care and caution
to avoid its demerits.
Shafiq: I’ve to go now. It’s time for my private tutor.
Rafiq: Ok. See you later. Bye.
Shafiq: Bye.

A dialogue about the problem of load-shedding
Sumi: Why do you look drowsy?
Rumi: I couldn’t sleep well last night.
Sumi: In fact, we’re facing the same problem—that’s load shedding. There was no electricity in our
locality last night.
Rumi: The insufficient production of electricity, misuse and illegal connection of electricity are the main
reasons of it. Sumi: Yes, we’ve no option but to live with pitch-black darkness and sweltering heat.
Rumi: Exactly! But can you imagine what type of problem it creates to a student whose exam is knocking
at the door and the patients who are under the knife of a surgeon?
Sumi: The terrible sufferings caused to the examinees and patients cannot be described in words at this
moment.
Rumi: Last night I couldn’t read at all. You know tomorrow is my English exam.
Sumi: Besides, the foods we preserve in refrigerators turn rotten and become unfit for consumption.
Housewives are suffering much.
Rumi: But the more deplorable damage occurs in refrigerators in laboratories and cold storage. It causes a
heavy economic loss.
Sumi: The running productive machines come to a standstill in mills and factories. A tremendous loss of
production!
Rumi: Problems are everywhere. What is the solution?
Sumi: The government should take necessary measures on emergency basis to ensure adequate
production of electricity to remove the curse of load shedding.
Rumi: I think that more power plants should be set up and system loss should be reduced.
Sumi: Not only that, illegal connections should be banned. I think that consciousness can play a vital
role in this regard.
Rumi: The wastage of electricity should be stopped and strict laws should be introduced.
Sumi: Electricity being the driving force of a country, it should be ensured at any cost.
Rumi: Lack of electricity means lack of production and hampering the study of the students is very
harmful for a country.
Sumi: Thanks for sharing your valuable ideas.
Rumi: You’re most welcome. See you again.
A dialogue about the bad effect of smoking
Rana: What about you? You aren’t going to school for a few days.
Rumi: Just wait. Let me buy a cigarette from that shop.
Rana: What! Cigarette! Oh, yes. I’ve heard you have become a chain smoker nowadays.
Rumi: Actually, I smoke now and then.
Rana: Why do you smoke? Don’t you know smoking is harmful for health?
Rumi: Oh, you don’t know. When you smoke, you look smart and full of personality. Smoking also
removes tiredness.
Rana: But there’re many bad effects of smoking. It is like taking poison.
Rumi: What bad effect! Many a man is smoking everyday here and there.
Rana: People hate smokers. Besides, smoking is the beginning of drug addiction.
Rumi: I didn’t think like you.
Rana: But it may cause you serious diseases like cancer, heart attack, bronchitis etc. It also damages your
lung and causes lung cancer.
Rumi: I tried to give it up, but I could not. I cannot even concentrate on my study without smoking.
Rana : If you had thought seriously about its bad effect, you would not have taken it anymore.
Rumi: That’s heard, friend but nobody dies from smoking.
Rana: According to WHO, 5 million people die every year from tobacco related illness. That is about one
person is dying in every 6 second. Smokers are likely to die at least 10 years earlier than the non-smokers.
Rumi: I never thought so much about the dangerous effect of smoking. I just started to smoke out of
curiosity.
Rana: And this curiosity is spoiling your character and gradually leading you to death.
Rumi: I promise I’ll give up smoking from this very day. You have saved me from a great danger.
Rana: Never indulge such a bad habit rather you should persuade people not to smoke.
Rumi: Thank you very much for your valuable advice.
Rana: You’re most welcome. I’ve to go now.
Rumi: Ok bye. See you later.

Neela: Besides he doesn’t learn his lessons at the right time.
Nora: When the exam comes, he finds a huge load of arrear lessons.
Neela: He can’t prepare himself and fails or he adopts copying which is very bad.
Nora: Right you are.
Neel: So, he can make little progress in his studies and in the long run he has to repent of his bad habit.
Nora: Exactly, we’ve to realise that punctuality is important in every sphere of life.
Neela: If a man who is to address a public meeting comes late, he keeps so many people waiting and

it’s a matter of shame that most of the university graduates lack proper knowledge on English.

Mina: Only yesterday
Rina: I see, you’re very fond of the country life.
Mina: Really, I’m very fond of it.
Rina: Why? What’s the charm of the country life?
Mina: There’re great differences between city life and village life. Village life is natural but city life is
artificial.
Rina: But there are some facilities in city which are not avail able in village.
Mina: I’m tired of the din and bustle of the town, of smoke, dirt and congestion. It’s calm and quite there.
I get there fresh air and fresh food, fish, milk, fruit and vegetables. I get fresh vigour and energy.
Rina: But there’s no electric light or fan, no good roads, medical aid, school or college, society, theater or
cinema hall.
Mina: The majority of our people live in the villages. Our country cannot prosper unless the villages are
improved.
Rina: But village has some problems, too. Most of the villagers are illiterate. They don’t know any way to
live well.
Mina: But villages are the producer of food.
Rina: Village environment is fresh but if you are ill, you will have to go to town to meet doctor.
Mina: It’s true. But, environment of village will keep you fit.
Rina: Can you deny the advantages of modernism?
Mina: I don’t mean that. I just want to say that village life is much better than city life.
Rina: What are your other points?
Mina: People of city are much busy and almost emotionless. Day by day they are becoming much
disintegrated.
Rina: City people possess all educational institution and administration.
Rina: Yes, but how can we improve the village?
Mina: Educated men should go and mix with the people of the village, and spread education among them
and teach them how to raise their standard of life. Besides, Government should ensure all the amenities of
the town.
Rina: Now I understand why you go to your native village during every long vacation.
Mina: Actually, both of them have some advantages and disadvantages.
Rina: Exactly, but village life is better to live a healthy life.
Mina: Thank you very much for your nice company.

A dialogue between Mithila and Nafisa about the importance of education is given below.
Mithila : Hi! You look somewhat thoughtful. What’s the matter?
Tanika : Yes, but how did you know?
Mithila : It’s been written on your face. So, what are thinking about?
Tanika : You’re right. I’m thinking about the backwardness of our country in many respects in
comparison to other countries of the world.
Mithila : Yes, the country’s development is not at all up to our expectation. But can you identify the
reasons behind it?
Tanika: Of course, lack of education among common people is the main cause. They do not have proper
knowledge of some essential things.
Mithila : Actually education widens our outlook and orientation, broadens your mind and mentality. It
refines our sense and sensibility. It helps us how to earn and spend.
Tanika: Moreover, it helps us to get job. We can earn our bread and butter and play a significant role in
strengthening our national economy if we take education.
Mithila : I agree with you. An educated person is not a burden to family as well as country. Rather he/she
tries his/her best remove the burdensome conditions of his/ her family as well as country.
Tanika: Education is the ladder for our happy future.
Mithila : If you neglect it now, you’ll face many hardships in future.
Tanika: On the other hand, the uneducated have no knowledge about nutrition and the way of keeping
healthy and they can’t participate in national development.
Mithila: Besides in our country, corruption, injustice and exploitation are going on. But common people
can’t protest owing to their ignorance.
Tanika : Absolutely right.
Mithila : So we should do something to teach the common people the essentials of life.
Tanika : Sure. We can use our extra time for this purpose. The govt., the NGO and the common mass
should stretch their hands jointly to create awareness about the importance of education in life.
Mithila : Mass media should play their active role to a great extent so that everyone of us should take
education.
Mithila : Thank you very much for your discussion.
Tanika: You are welcome.
