all a change maker but he was not allowed to do that. We did not allow him
to see his dream true. He has gone a point of no return during the mass
slaughtering took place in Suria.How many deaths are needed to awake our
blunt senses? How many mothers will have to sacrifice their sons to move
us a bit? This is Md.Akramul Hoque, will talk about this global terrorism
happening in the name of establishing peace.

Limerick
[Just Memorise and Present]
My boy
Little boys are often a bunch of trouble
They fight and bite and play in rubble
They're cute and fun
And they like to run
And as they grow, the trouble will double!

Bangladesh
Hello everyone! I am here to talk about my country Bangladesh.
When people seek class and History, they think about London. When they look for
romance and delight, they think about Paris. But when they seek for a place that has a
touch of Mother Nature, they think of the land of the rivers which resides in South Asia,
occupying a small portion of the eastern zone of the Indian subcontinent. This is my
country: Bangladesh, the home of the world's longest natural beach and the world's largest
Mangrove forest, both of which lie in the southern region of the country. The beach in
Cox's Bazar is an unbroken 125 kilometers (78 miles) sandy beach with a gentle slope.
Cox's Bazar is also known as "yellow flower". The famous Mangrove forest in Bangladesh
is called the Sundarbans.
Along with many other fascinating wild creatures, the Sundarbans is the home of the
Royal Bengal Tiger, the national animal of Bangladesh.
I love my country very much and I am very proud to be a Bangladeshi. Hope you all liked
my presentation. Thanks!

The other day we went to a party at our friend‘s house. Before the party we had to go to another
appointment so we showed up a little late. We ate dinner together. Then we sat and talked for
a while. I had not met many of the people there. I am a shy
person and very quiet. Sometimes it is hard to get the
courage to ask people questions to get to know them. But
as I try, it is getting easier to talk to people. I found in
talking to them that we each have similar experiences. I
learned that some of us had similar hobbies. Afterwards,
we shared our addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail
addresses so we could contact each other again sometime.
I was impressed with the personality and character of
them all. Throughout my life I have met many different
people. We all look different, but we are all human beings.

LESSON- 8
STORY: IN THE BEGİNNİNG
A long, long time ago,/ there was nothing/ but a great empty space.// /There were no earth/ and no
sky.// There were no sun/ and no moon.// There was no light anywhere./ Everything was covered with/
darkness/.
The Merciful Allah/ thought of making the world. / He said:/ ―Be!‖/ And the world was made.// Allah
wanted the world/ to be beautiful.// He spread the earth /like a carpet.// Then he put mountains on it/
to hold it down./
Above the earth/ He made the sky.// In the sky/ He put two lights:/ the sun and the moon. //And He told
the sun/ to shine in the day/ and the moon to shine at night./ Then Allah put stars/ in the night sky/ and
told them to shine brightly/ to help travellers find their way at night.// There are many stars in the
sky./ Yet /each one is different.// Some are small/ and some are very big.// Some twinkle gently/ and
some burn brightly./ They are like road signs/ that guide the travellers/ to the right place.//
After that/ Allah divided the dry land/ from the seas.// He covered the land with greenery:/ big trees,/
small bushes,/ and colourful flowers. // He told the rain to water the plants /so that they might grow.//
After that/ He made all kinds of animals:/ camels,/ horses, /sheep /and elephants. //Then He made all
kinds of birds:/ high-flying eagles,/ beautiful peacocks/ and sweetly singing nightingales.// And He
filled the seas/ with fish and other creatures.//
The world was beautiful. //The earth was green.// The sky was blue.// And the seas were green and
blue./ There were many different animals on earth, /many different birds in the sky/ and many
different fish in the seas.//
Yet Allah wanted the world/ to be even more beautiful.// Allah made the angels.// The angels obey
Allah/ in everything.// They are His messengers. //They carry His commands/ to all corners of the
world.//
They see to it/ that the whole world is running/ as it should:/ the wind blows/ where required,/ the
clouds take the rain/ to the right spots, /and the rains give water/ to the fields and gardens. //
Then out of fire without smoke./ Allah created jinn./ Some jinn are good/ and some are bad. /Some of
them are believers/ and some unbelievers. //Finally Allah decided /to make a human being./ He
collected every kind of soil.// He mixed it like a potter‘s clay.// He moulded it/ into the shape of man
/and breathed His spirit/ into it./ He named the first man/ Adam.// Then Allah made the first woman/
and named her Hawwa, /or Eve./ Allah made the beautiful world.// And He gave it to man/ to live in.//

Reading
I have a friend who is always very
emotional. Every time I see her she is
either sad or she is happy. But when she
wakes up in the morning, she is always
grumpy, and when she goes to school she
is always tired. Whenever she comes over
to my house, she is always mad about
something. One time she did badly on a
test. She was so angry that she jumped up
and down and screamed. The teacher told
her to sit down. Then she was very
embarrassed because everyone was
looking at her.
I have learned a lot about myself by
watching other people when they lose
their tempers. When I see how foolish
people look when they get angry, I
promise myself that I will have self-
control and not lose my temper. I am
learning patience.
Have you ever lost your temper and done something foolish?
How did you feel after losing your temper?
Do you like to be around people who are always getting angry?

So, if success is all about learning and avoiding mistakes then why don‘t all people
succeed? Simply because most people feel bad and become depressed when they experience
their first few failures! Instead of continuing the learning process to learn how to avoid their
mistakes those people stop at one point, form false beliefs about life and become depressed.
The only difference between those who succeed and those who don‘t is that the first group
continues to the end until they learn how to overcome all of the mistakes they were doing
while the second group feel bad and stop trying.
So, to reach the road to success, we must keep trying and learn from our mistakes until
we reach the long-cherished golden gateway to success.

Lesson—11
ACRES OF DIAMONDS
Hafiz was a farmer in Africa who was happy and contented (happy). One day a wise man came to him
and told him about the glory (fame/importance) of diamonds and the power that goes along with them.
The wise man said ―If you had a diamond the size of your thumb (finger), you could buy your own city.
If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could probably (possibly) own your own country.‖ And
then the wise man left. That night, Hafiz couldn‘t sleep. He was unhappy and he was discontented
(unhappy).
The next morning Hafiz made arrangements to sell his farm, took care o his family, and went off in
search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn‘t find any. By the time he got to (reached)
Spain, he was emotionally, physically, and financially depleted (reduced). He was so disheartened (less
confident) that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Barcelona River.
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at the stream
(fountain/waterfall) that ran through the property (land). Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun
hit a stone and made it sparkle (shine brightly) like a rainbow. He thought the stone would look good in
his living room. He picked up the stone and put it in his showcase. That afternoon, the wise man came
and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, ―Is Hafiz back?‖ The new owner said, ―No, why do you ask?‖
The wise man said, ―Because that is a diamond. I recognize (to know) one when I see one.‖ The man
said, ―No that‘s just a stone I picked (took) up from the stream. Come I‘ll show you. There are many
more.‖ They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis (test/examination). Sure enough,
the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed (really) covered with acres of
diamonds.‖
Q:1) Is Hafiz right? 2) Who is responsible for Hafiz‘s damnation?
3) What would you do if you were in Hafiz‘s situation? 4) What did you learn by reading the story?

What if.....
by Yeasir Ahmed Milan
I, out of unexpressed ego, sometimes think that my mom knows nothing about the modern world
because she never went to school, read good books, browsed the net (like used Facebook or Twitter, E-
mails), mixed with famous people, visited good places, used sophisticated technology like iPhone,
Smart Phone and even she cannot talk smartly. Aha! I feel proud of myself for the luck that I did do all
of these. I am a modern person: people say and without doubt I consider it. What if, after knowing the
whole world, I go to the Hell and what if, after knowing nothing about this material world, my mom
goes to the Heaven!
Life is so beautiful in this modern world. I am so proud about my life. People read my blogs, comment
about them, praise my posts in facebook. I meet many people and people meet me for scores of reasons.
I take classes in many schools, colleges and universities. I am an icon to my students. I write books and
I am admired by the readers. In short, I am a complete man, a successful person. But to WHOM? To the
people of this material world? What am I to my LORD? Does He praise me? Does He love my actions?
Does He accept or reject my prayers? Is my intention of doing all these things in this world to satisfy my
creator? Or I am just doing these for my untold, unexpressed pride. I still do not know the answers.
Let's talk about my mom. She is sixty, still strong and hardworking. Happy she is with whatever she
gets or does. Satisfied she is for the things small or big she gets. She can shower tears in prayers. She is
purified, honest, happy, and responsible. If God on the Day of Judgement pardons her and says, 'Go to
the heaven and enjoy whatever best I have adorned for you.' Isn't she a successful person though she
was unlike me in this transient world? And what about me if God says to me the opposite?
"God, make me like my mom and like him who you love. I don't want to be like my present me."

LIFE IS AN ECHO
A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, ―I have you, I hate you.‖ Because of
fear of reprimand, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, ―I hate you, I
hate you,‖ and the echo returned, ―I hate you, I hate you.‖ Having never heard an echo
before, he was scared and ran to his mother for protection. He said there was a bad boy in the
valley who shouted ―I hate you, I hate you.‖ The mother understood and she asked her son to
go back and shout, ―I love you, I love you.‖ The little boy went and shouted, ―I love you, I
love you,‖ and back came the echo. That taught the little boy a lesson that our life is like an
echo: We get back what we give.

Story on Prepositions
Consider the professor's desk and all the prepositional phrases we can use
while talking about it.
You can sit before the desk (or in front of the desk). The professor can sit
on the desk (when he's being informal) or behind the desk, and then his
feet are under the desk or beneath the desk. He can stand beside the desk
(meaning next to the desk), before the desk, between the desk and you,
or even on the desk (if he's really strange). If he's clumsy, he can bump
into the desk or try to walk through the desk (and stuff would fall off the
desk). Passing his hands over the desk or resting his elbows upon the
desk, he often looks across the desk and speaks of the desk or concerning
the desk as if there were nothing else like the desk. Because he thinks of
nothing except the desk, sometimes you wonder about the desk, what's in
the desk, what he paid for the desk, and if he could live without the desk.
You can walk toward the desk, to the desk, around the desk, by the desk,
and even past the desk while he sits at the desk or leans against the desk.
All of this happens, of course, in time: during the class, before the class,
until the class, throughout the class, after the class, etc. And the
professor can sit there in a bad mood [another adverbial construction].

We urge you to persuade Myanmar government to take immediate steps to implement the
recommendations of the Rakhine Advisory Commission which the Myanmar government established in
2016 under the pressure of international community. The Commission, mostly comprised of Myanmar
citizens, chaired by Kofi Annan, recommended providing citizenship to the Rohingyas, to allow them
freedom of movement, rights and equality before the law, to ensure communal representation, lack of
which affects Muslims disproportionately, to facilitate UN assistance in ensuring safety and security of
returning people. The fear became reality through the attack on Myanmar security forces by the

militants. Unless, constructive effort to build lasting peace is taken, the situation will get worse which in
turn may pose serious security threat to the neighbouring countries.
To implement the Commission recommendations we suggest the following preparatory steps:
1. Reappoint the Commission members immediately to constitute an Implementation Committee to
oversee the implementation of the recommendations,
2. Take immediate steps to stop the outflow of refugees,
3. Invite international observers to visit vulnerable areas on a regular basis,
4. Invite back the refugees who already left the country,
5. Build camps within Myanmar for the returning refugees to facilitate their rehabilitation with UN
financing and supervision,
6. Give them the citizenship as prescribed in the Commission Report under the exclusive authority of
the Implementation Committee and
7. Ensure political freedom and freedom of movement.
A bold change in approach is needed by United Nations and the international community if there is to be
an end to the cycle of violence against the Rohingyas. The government of Myanmar needs to be told
that international support and finance is conditional on a major change in policy towards the Rohingya.
Propaganda and incitement of hatred and all violence, particularly state violence against Rohingyas
must stop, discriminatory laws and policies must go, the recommendations of Kofi Annan's commission
must be implemented immediately.
The world is anxiously waiting to see that UNSC is playing its role to bring end to a humanitarian
catastrophe and build peace in the region.
Sincerely yours,
Professor Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate and other 11 Nobel Laureates and 22

1 1 SAMPLE PRESENTATIONS
1. My Best Friend
Dear audience/ Ladies and gentlemen, assalamu-alaikum and good
morning/afternoon/evening to all of you. I am very glad to be here in this pleasant
morning/afternoon/evening. Actually, it is a great pleasure for me to say something
before you. Everybody loves to talk about friends and I will try my level best to deliver
my short speech on today‘s topic and the topic is ‗My Best Friend‘.
So, who is a best friend? A best friend is a person with whom you can share
everything, and who also shares everything with you. Like everyone else, I have a best
friend too. Now I‘m going to tell about him.
The name of my friend is Asif. He is a very good person. He is always there to help me
when I am in any trouble. Sometimes he also guides me towards the right way. When I
fail to understand anything, he helps me to understand it. We study in the same class,
we play together, we hang out together- we pretty much do everything together. He is
very polite and gentle. I would like to share a small story about our friendship. Once,
during our final exam, I forgot to bring my admit card in the exam hall. As my home is
far from my school, it was not possible for me to go back to my house and bring my
admit card. I panicked and was scared to tell that to my parents. So instead of calling
them, I called Asif‘s home. Luckily, he was still at his home. So I asked him to help
me. Without saying anything to me, Asif put the phone down and I was scared to my
bones. Exam was about to start but I couldn‘t enter the exam hall without my admit
card. So, I just stood outside of the hall with no idea about what to do. A few minutes
after the exam had already started, I saw Asif running towards the exam hall. He
stopped when he reached me and, without saying anything, he handed me my admit
card and I then entered the exam hall. I followed him, totally at a loss of what to say to
him. He came in late for the exam, just so that I could sit for the exam.
Everyone needs a best friend in their life. Before choosing a best friend we need to be
careful that we don‘t make any mistake. I am glad to know that my best friend has
always been there for me and always will be. In Shaa Allah, I will always be there for
him as well. Thank you for giving an earnest solemn hearing to my speech.
2. My Sweet Home
Dear audience/ Ladies and gentlemen, assalamu-alaikum and good morning/afternoon/evening
to all of you. I am very glad to be here in this pleasant morning/afternoon/evening. Actually, it
is a great pleasure for me to say something before you. But I‘m not a good speaker. I am really
sorry for my shortcomings. Anyway, I will try my level best to deliver my short speech on
today‘s topic and the topic is ‗My Sweet Home‘.
Well, the place where I live with my family is in a reputed part of Dhaka city. We have been
here from my childhood and I feel really lucky and blessed to be able to live here. My family is
relatively small with four members – my parents, my sister and me. The area is very neat and
clean compared to the rest of the city. It is also very safe and secure being inside a university
area. We can be here for two more years as long as my father retains his job. He sets out for
work in the morning when my sister and I are preparing for our schools. My mother being a
housewife takes care of our breakfast and prepares us for school. When we get back home in
the afternoon, mom waits for us in the dinner table. We do our lunch or have light snacks with
tea while watching TV together. There are occasions when my aunts or uncles visit our place or
we have invitation to their place. We wait for dad to come home so that we can go to the party
together. Sometimes, dad brings food from outside for dinner, if that ends up not enough for
four of us, we still share that with each other. The best thing about our small family is our
sharing mentality. We do our best to greet a guest. We always try to keep our pride high and let
ourselves bow down in front of an outsider.
There are nights when we watch horror films together after finishing dinner. We get so scared
that eventually we can‘t sleep alone in our rooms; we all sleep together in my parents‘
bedroom. We don‘t isolate ourselves even when we grow up. Our bonding is very strong and
it‘s unbreakable. We share amazing amount of trust and reliability with each other that nothing
can tear us apart ever.
That‘s all for the time being. Thank you very much. Truly speaking, brothers and sisters, this
was a very nice moment with you. Allah Hafeez!
their best to make a better future for us. I also expect from them that we will live
together in peace and harmony. On the whole, I want a happy family.
That‘s all about what I expect from my parents. These are the mandatory parts of my
expectations. Other things that parents are providing me, I consider them as a bonus. I
love my parents very much because they are always with me no matter what. Thank you
very much for giving me a soundless patient hearing.
Well, dear friends/ ladies and gentlemen, I would like to finish here today. Thank you
very much, see all of you again in another day. Allah Hafeez!
Besides obsession, you need massive INPUT to help yourself talk and write.

Massive Input
The second key to super-fast learning and incredible intensity is to focus on English
INPUT. Do not waste time studying grammar or vocabulary. Do not waste time trying
to speak or write. You should spend all of your time either listening or reading. This is
the fastest and most efficient method for speaking English fluently.
Carry your iPod everywhere. Read the posts in my blog
(www.englishwithyeasir.blogspot.com) Always, have a book with you. These are the
most powerful kinds of lessons and will help you learn the fastest. You should read easy
English novels, starting with novels for children. Absolutely do not waste time reading
textbooks! Read the books which make you feel happy, contented, satisfied. Grow
passion for reading and listening. If you follow any other way to improve your English,
your result will be always a BIG ZERO.
5. My Favourite Subject
Dear audience/ Ladies and gentlemen, assalamualaikum. I am very glad to be here in
this pleasant morning/afternoon/evening. Actually, it is a great pleasure for me to say
something before you. I will try my level best to deliver my short speech on today‘s
topic and the topic is My Favorite Subject. Actually, I like any subject that is
associated with science but my particular favourite is Physics. There may be many
reasons for many people to have a particular favourite subject, but my reason is very
simple because I find it interesting.
Physics is the study of matter, energy and how they interact. It is important to everyday
life in more ways than can be thought of at first. Without Physics, we wouldn't be able
to walk, see, or have a brain to build a computer... also, the study of the world‘s
properties, and the universe around us. It allows us to understand a lot more about our
human bodies and the environment we live in. This allows us to create cars for
transport, footballs and cricket bats for sports, books to read pretty much anything!
I was always fascinated about the way everything works since I was a little kid. As
Albert Einstein said ―Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The
important thing is to not stop questioning.‖ So, I grew older and my curiosity grew
extremely intensely with me and I realized that this was the subject that could meet all
my curiosity and it did.
I believe Physics can be used to explain everything about not only matters as big as the
universe but also as small as our everyday life or the meaning of our existence.
With this belief, I would like to conclude my presentation. Thank you all for listening to
me patiently. Allah Hafez.
8. My Favourite Teacher
Good morning/afternoon/evening my honorable sir, a very warm greetings to my
fellow classmates. This is _________________standing before you with a desire; you
can say a burning desire. Today I want to share my deep-rooted feelings, my untold
expressions about someone who changed my life to a wonderful extent. He recreated

pray to God thanking him for this beautiful life. I also pray to Him for his forgiveness
for my sins and ask for his help so that I can do good deeds.
Everyone should pray to God to thank him for his forgiveness because without His
mercy nothing would have been created.
Thank you all for listening to my words. Have a good day!
