4. Write a paragraph on any one of the following:
(a) Good Manners
(b) Fashion
(c) Ambition
(c) Ambition
A strong desire to attain anything is considered the aim. Every person needs to have a clear life goal, which supports determining the course of one’s career. So, ambition is the objective that a man chooses to achieve in his life. Everybody must aim at an ambition to give a drive, a motion, a habitation and a meaning to his life. If a man has no sense of direction or purpose in life he will waste away all his limited time and energy in the weary wilderness of indecision. A man without ambition is like a dumb cuttle driven by circumstances from pillar to post. But a man with a fixed ambition has all his thoughts and actions converging upon only one point. From his boyhood, he steers right onward towards his goal. There is no wastage of energy, on the dissipation of the mind, no hesitation and no procrastination. The destination is clear and the body and the mind are willing to march ahead without any fear, indecision, doubt and uncertainty. Life is planned and every step of it is measured and calculated. Thus it is ambition that makes a man go forward towards success and enables him to realise his best self.

Now that I’m preparing to leave school, I’m more determined than ever to pursue this goal.
I know that the road ahead won’t be easy, and there will be obstacles to overcome along the way. However, I’m undeterred by the challenges because I believe in the importance of the work I aspire to do as a BCS Cadre officer. Your friendship has always been a source of strength and support for me, and I’m grateful to have you by my side as I embark on this new chapter of my life.
Your encouragement and belief in me mean the world, and I know that with your friendship, I can overcome any obstacle that comes my way. I’ll keep you updated on my progress as I prepare for the BCS exam, and I hope that you’ll continue to cheer me on from the sidelines. And, of course, I’m eager to hear about your plans and aspirations as well.
Thank you for being such an incredible friend. Here’s to chasing our dreams and making them a reality!
Warm Regards,

6. Write an essay on any one of the following:
(a) Artificial Intelligence
(b) Climate Change
(c) Festivals in Bangladesh
(c) Festivals in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a country of colorful celebrations. We celebrate our faith, life, liberty, nature, elation, and achievements around the year through a wide variety of fairs and festivals, organized with inexorable enthusiasm and intricate details. Some Bengali fairs and festivals have a recorded history of over 2000 years. Festivals in Bangladesh fall into four major categories: religious festivals, national events, cultural festivals, and tribal festivals. Although a few festivals are primarily meant for particular sections of the population, all the festivals have now attained universal reach throughout the country.
Basanta Utsab
It is the first day of spring, celebrated in a very colorful manner throughout the country on the 1st day of Falgun, the 11th month of the Bangla calendar, which falls in mid-February of the Gregorian calendar. On this occasion, people wear colored dresses and colorful fairs and cultural programs are organized. Women usually wear yellow sharis and decorate themselves with floral ornaments. Exchange of greetings and gifts is common on the Day.
Nabanna Utsab & Poush Mela
The Nabanna Utsab (new harvest festival) is celebrated predominantly by the rural agrarian population of Bangladesh in Poush, the first month of the winter season of the Bengali calendar. With a full granary for the winter, it is the time for the agrarian rural Bengalis to relax and engage in merriment and cultural activities. A traditional Poush Mela (traditional fair) would essentially include a Jatrapala (a traditional theatre), traditional dance and music concerts, along with a wide variety of rice-milk-molasses-based delicacies called pitha.
Pohela Boishakh
It is the first day of the Bengali calendar which falls on the 14th of April of the Gregorian calendar. Pohela Boishakh is an integral part of Bangladesh’s cultural heritage. It is closely linked with the rural life. People start this day with new hope thoroughly scrubbing the failures and sorrows of the preceding year. Businessmen, particularly in rural areas, close their old books of accounts and open new ones and treat their customers with traditional sweets to renew the business relationship. People, dressed in colorful traditional clothes, visit their friends, relatives and neighbors to exchange greetings. On this day, Fairs are arranged in many parts of the country where various agricultural products, traditional handicrafts, toys, cosmetics, as well as various kinds of food and sweets are sold. The fairs also provide entertainment with singers, dancers and traditional plays and songs. Pohela Boishakh is also celebrated in grand ways in the capital Dhaka and other major cities of Bangladesh.
Baul Mela
Every year, in the month of Falgun (February to March), “Lalon Smaran Utshab” (Lalon memorial festival) is held in the shrine of Lalon in Kushtia, where Bauls (itinerant mystic folk singers) and devotees of Lalon from Bangladesh and overseas come to perform and highlight the mystics of Fakir Lalon Shah, the undisputed king of Baul music. Baul music celebrates celestial love in earthly terms.
Weddings
Bangladeshi people consider weddings as one of the most important episodes of human life. As a result, people usually make every effort to make their wedding ceremony exemplary and memorable. Bengali weddings include a series of rituals and ceremonies with elaborate details spanning over several days. Wedding is a festive occasion not only for the friends and relatives of the bride and groom; it rather involves the entire communities concerned. The main wedding traditionally takes place at the bride’s palace, which includes a grand feast. The wedding ceremony concludes with a reception hosted by the groom’s side.
Amor Ekushey and the International Mother Language Day
Amor Ekushey (immortal 21st) is celebrated throughout the country on 21st February each year to commemorate and pay homage to the language martyrs who sacrificed their lives on 21st February 1952 for the right to their mother language, Bangla. The program usually includes: the laying of floral wreaths at Shahid Minar (martyrs monuments) through ceremonial processions in the very early hours of the day, special prayers, discussion meetings, cultural events, etc. To promote the Bangla language and literature, a month-long book fair is organized in Dhaka in February every year. Similar fairs are organized in different parts of the country. The Day has been declared International Mother Language Day by UNESCO in 1999. Since then, the Day has been celebrated regularly all over the world to uphold the importance of all mother languages of the world.
Independence and National Day
The nation celebrates its Independence and National Day on 26th March with enthusiasm and patriotic zeal. It commemorates the country’s declaration of independence from Pakistan by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the late hours of 25th March 1971. Independence Day celebration includes the ceremonial laying of the floral wreath at the National Mausoleum at Savar by the Hon’ble President and Hon’ble Prime Minister to pay homage to the valiant freedom fighters, colorful parades, political speeches, fairs, concerts, and many other public and private events celebrating the history and traditions of Bangladesh. TV and radio stations broadcast special programs and patriotic songs. Main streets and landmark buildings are decorated with national flags and lighting. On the eve of Independence Day, the prestigious Independence Award is bestowed upon Bangladeshi citizens. Bangladesh diplomatic missions around the world have special programs to mark the Day.
Victory Day
Bangladesh celebrates Victory Day on 16 December to commemorate the ultimate victory of the Allied Forces over Pakistani forces in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 marking the nine-month liberation war and the official secession of East Pakistan into Bangladesh. The festivity and way of celebration is almost similar to that of Independence Day.
Eid ul-Fitr
It is the biggest Muslim festival celebrated in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world by Muslim people with due solemnity and fervor on the day following the end of the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting. Big congregations are held at the Eidgahs (open fields) and mosques in the morning. The biggest congregation in the country is held at Sholakia in Kishoreganj, where about half a million people gather for Eid prayers. On this day, people dressed in new clothes visit each other’s houses and exchange greetings. In rural areas, Eid fairs are organized. Cultural, sports and other social events like: boat races, and puppet shows are also organized to promote friendship and solidarity among people. A colorful Eid procession is organized in old Dhaka.
Eid ul-Adha
It is another important religious festival of Muslims in Bangladesh and elsewhere. The way of celebration of Eid ul-Adha is almost similar to that of Eid ul-Fitr. The major difference is the sacrifice of domestic animals on this occasion, to commemorate the historic sacrifice of Hazrat Ibrahim (A), which symbolizes utmost loyalty and complete submission to Allah. Eid-ul-Adha is usually observed on the 10th day of the Arabic lunar calendar month of Zilhaj.
Durga Puja
It is the biggest festival of the Hindu community in Bangladesh. It is celebrated throughout the country in autumn and the entire population gets involved in the grand festivity. It is the celebration of Goddess Durga’s triumph over demon Mahisasura. In some places of Bangladesh, it is celebrated in the spring as Basanti Puja. On the fourth day of worship, the idol is immersed in water through colorful possession. In Dhaka, the big celebrations are held at Dhakeswari Temple and the Ram Krishna Mission.
Buddha Purnima
Buddha Purnima, the birth anniversary of Lord Buddha, is the most important festival of the Buddhists and is celebrated throughout the country with religious fervor and enthusiasm on full moon day in April. This is a public holiday in Bangladesh. On this day, various religious rituals at Buddhist temples and monasteries are observed. Buddhism is one of the most ancient religions of Bangladesh, which is home to a few most important oldest Buddhist monasteries in Asia.
