Rima : It is okay! But the government should start adult schools again and take initiative so that our girls go to school and complete at least primary education.

Rima : You are right. If we develop mass awareness among the guardians, they will be aware of the importance of education.
Rupa : Great! students like us also can encourage the illiterate guardians for sending their children to school. We should do it because it is our social duty.

Sumon : Actually, we’d start a tree plantation campaign (Awfhvb/Kg©m~Px) in order to maintain ecological balance (cwi‡e‡ki fvimvg¨).
Rakib : I think if we cannot maintain ecological balance, our country must face a great problem.
Sumon : Right you are. Actually, it is a question of existence.

Tuhin : Yes. But the fielding of Bangladeshi players was also excellent. They fielded like a top class team.
Manik : Certainly! And it was another reason that the India team failed to get high score.
Tuhin : But our team is so unpredictable (AwbwðZ)!
Manik : Definitely. But our batsmen as well as the bowlers performed well.
Tuhin : You’re right. I think Bangladesh will shine more in the next matches and will bring good name and fame for the country.
Manik : Our hope is not unreasonable.
Tuhin : Thank you very much and let us wait for the next match.
Manik : You’re most welcome. Good bye. See you again.
- A dialogue between two friends on visiting the Ekushey Book Fair.
Raja : Hello Suja! How’re you?
Suja : I’m fine and you?
Raja : Fine too.
Suja : You might know that the book fair is going on. Have you visited the book fair?
Raja : Yes, the day before yesterday I visited the book fair. In fact, I like the book fair so much.
Suja : Nice! What’s your feeling about the book fair?
Raja : Really fantastic! My feeling about the book fair can hardly be expressed in language. By the way, have you visited it recently?
Suja : No, I’ll visit the book fair at the later part of it. I’ve already made a list of the books I’d like to buy. Have you purchased (wK‡bQ) any?
Raja : Yes, I’ve purchased five books—all are written by Dr. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal.
Suja : What’s the reason behind purchasing only the books of Dr. Zafar Iqbal?
Raja : He’s my most favourite writer. His books are mostly written on science fiction and are written for children.
Suja : I appreciate your choice. I’ve planned to purchase some of his books. I’ll also purchase two books of Professor Dr. Anisuzzaman.
Raja : I may visit the book fair with you again.
Suja : That’ll be nice.
Raja : So, call me when you wish to visit the fair. Thank you.
Suja : Of course. You’re most welcome.
- A dialogue between two friends on earthquake.
Milon : Hello, Monir! How’re you?
Monir : I’m fine and you?
Milon : Fine too. How did you feel when the earthquake (f‚wgK¤ú) shook the whole city last night?
Monir : Oh, yes! I just can’t forget the shaking (K¤úb) of the earth.
Milon : I can understand what happened to you.
Monir : Oh, my God! That might have been a disastrous (wech©qKvix) moment of my life.
Milon : What were you doing at that time?
Monir : I was in my reading room when the tremors (f‚K¤úb) started. I took shelter under my table in fear.
Milon : You did the right thing. Some of my neighbors were so scared (fq †c‡qwQj) that one of them fell down on the stair.
Monir : Oh, it’s terrible! Was he badly hurt?
Milon : No, but that got me thinking how we’ll remain safe!
Monir : Oh, yes! Think about the buildings of this city. The builders hardly follow any code of construction.
Milon : You are right. Most of the buildings of this city may collapse (†f‡½ co‡Z cv‡i) during an earthquake of a magnitude of 7 to 8 on the Richter Scale (wiL&Uvi †¯‹‡j 7 †_‡K 8 gvÎvi f‚wgK¤ú).
Monir : Oh, my God! I can’t even think what will happen!
Milon : It’ll cause heavy loss of lives and properties. The authority should strictly develop a code for construction of buildings to minimize (Kgv‡Z) the losses.
Monir : Yes, and all buildings should follow the code for construction as mandatory (eva¨Zvg~jKfv‡e).
Milon : Thank you.
Monir : You’re most welcome.
- A dialogue between two friends on the issue of climate change.
Shuvo : Hello, Sayed! How’re you?
Shahin : I’m fine and you?
Shuvo : I’m also fine. Have you noticed that this is the month of November but still there is no cold?
Shahin : Yes, we’re still keeping our fans on. But what’s the cause of such a strange behavior of weather?
Shuvo : It’s only for climate change.
Shahin : You’re right. But is it happening only in Bangladesh?
Shuvo : No, I’ve seen in the newspapers that many countries are experiencing severe cold (Zxeª VvÛv).
Shahin : But there are many countries which are experiencing severe heat too.
Shuvo : Yes, all these are happening due to climate change.
Shahin : You’re right. I’ve also read in the newspapers that due to climate change global warming is increasing in the atmosphere (evqygÊj).
Shuvo : Exactly! Due to global warming the ice caps are melting (ei‡di AveiY M‡j hv‡”Q) and the sea levels are rising.
Shahin : As a result, various natural calamities (`~‡h©vM) are taking place frequently (Nb Nb).
Shuvo : And we, the people, are mainly responsible for all disasters (wech©q) around the world.
Shahin : I also think so. Cutting down of trees and establishing (¯’vcb) industries on a large scale (e„nr cwim‡i/AvKv‡i) are accelerating (Z¡ivwY^Z/`ªæZZi Ki‡Q) this climate change.
Shuvo : Exactly! We must be serious from now. Otherwise, we’ll have to face a very threatening situation (fxwZKi Ae¯’v). Thank you very much.
Shahin : You’re most welcome.
- A dialogue on merits and demerits of city life and country/village/rural life.
Eva : Hello, Shova! How’re you?
Shova : I’m fine and you?
Eva : I’m not so fine. I am fed up with my city life, so I’m going to my village home today.
Shova : What do you mean? I can understand nothing. Please let me know in detail.
Eva : Life in the city seems to me very artificial (K…wÎg). I’m bored of this city life.
Shova : What are the troubles you face?
Eva : Noise, crowd, dirt, smoke, bad smell (`~M©Ühy³/wekªx) and what not?
Shova : It means you prefer a dull, sluggish life (GKwU Avb›`nxb, Ajm/gš’i Rxeb) among a set of illiterate people. There is no charm, no entertainment, no cinema, no theatre, and not even a good road.
Eva : But you’ve forgotten to mention (D‡jøL Kiv) the green fields and the streams (†QvU b`x), the smile of flowers in village. Though people are illiterate there, they’re simple, innocent (wb®úvc) and sympathetic (mnvbyf‚wZkxj/`iw`).
Shova : It is poet’s dream!
Eva : But there is beauty of nature, peace and sacred (cweÎ) happiness everywhere.
Shova : You must know that beauty does not help one in practical life. There are no doctor, no hospital, no good school in villages.
Eva : But you can have fresh food, milk, fish, and vegetables in villages.
Shova : Okay, live in your village and leave me for the city.
Eva : Certainly! However, I would appreciate (cÖksmv Kiv) if you visit my village. Thank you.
Shova : You’re most welcome.
- a dialogue between yourself and your friend about “Eve-teasing”.
Topu : How are you? Where are you going?
Apu : Fairly well and I am going to take my sister from her school.
Topu : Why? Can’t she come alone?
Apu : Yes, she can but some boys tease her on the way.
Topu : It is a great problem and it is increasing day by day.
Apu : You know that our girls and women are teased in schools, colleges, buses, trains, restaurants even in offices. Why is it occurring (NU‡Q)?
Topu : I think that modern technology is influencing their mentality. Because of satellite channels, the taste of the young people is being distorted (weK…Z n‡”Q).
Apu : Drug addiction is also responsible for it and sometimes, eve-teasers throw acid and even kill the victims.
Topu : Not only that, frustration (nZvkv) failure in love, indifference to the religions teachings (ag©xq wkÿvi e¨vcv‡i D`vmxbZv) and moral decay (ˆbwZK Aeÿq) are also responsible for it.
Apu : Right you are. I think that they have lack of consciousness (m‡PZbZvi Afve).
Topu : Even educated women are being teased by educated men. Certainly (wbwðZfv‡e), it is nothing but moral (ˆbwZK) degradation (AatcZb).
Apu : As it is a social disease, we should remove it from our society.
Topu : Consciousness can play a vital role (¸iæZ¡c~Y© f‚wgKv) in this regard (GB †cÖwÿ‡Z). People have to cultivate morality in themselves. Boys have to be well-natured (mykxj/fvj cÖK…wZi).
Apu : Strict laws should be introduced and proper steps should be taken.
Topu : Actually, exemplary punishment (`„óvšÍg~jK kvw¯Í) can reduce eve-teasing.
Apu : Thanks for sharing your valuable ideas.
Topu : Thank you too.
Apu : See you again.

Myself : Father, I’m little worried about the law and order situation of the country.
Father : Oh, I see. It has really deteriorated beyond description. We’re surrounded by miscreants—here, there, and everywhere.
