Defunct garbage, carbon- di–oxide, carbon mono-oxide of the engines, different kinds of chemical trash, toxic water and unbearable sound pollute the environment. Our environment is polluted in three ways. Air is polluted by different kinds of poisonous gases. Water is polluted by rotten trash and chemical elements. Sound is polluted when it is used beyond its capable power. Smoke pollutes air by melting pitch, emitting from motor vehicles. Mills and factories pollute water by throwing their industrial discharge into river, cannel. Water can also be polluted by chemicals used for cultivation. City life is becoming ill and unhealthy by environment pollution. Environment pollution is injurious because it affects human lives and world very dangerously.

   You’re Visit to a book fair
   A book fair which is organized to display and sell books is called a book fair. I visited a book fair organized on the 21st February last year. It was held on the occasion of observing the 21st February.  The book fair was held in the premises of Bangla Academy. I went to visit the fair with some of my teachers and closed friends. The fair looked very grand, large and nice. I went round the fair. I saw different book stalls, a huge crowd of people. The books such as novels, rhymes, adventure series etc. were available here. I saw the children and students were buying books according to their respective choice and taste. I learnt many things and purchased a few books by Emdadul Hoque Milon. I saw him surrounded by a lot of fans. He seemed to feel tired of giving autographs. The seminar held at the foot of a tree attracted me most. I gathered immense experience through visiting the fair. 
   Tree Plantation
   Trees are the best friend of man. They do us good in many ways. They supply us food, medicine, timber, fuel and what not. The trees take in Carbon di-oxide and give us oxygen without that no animals can live. The trees present us flowers, the most beautiful things on earth. They keep the atmosphere cool and bring down rain. Yet some people are so ungrateful that they recklessly cut down such a beneficial friends. The little forests  that we have in Chittagong, Khulna, Dinajpur, and Tangail areas  are shrinking  day by day for increasing population. There are various fruit trees n all over the  country. But they are not sufficient to meet our fruit requirement. To make  our  country prosperous and to check  air  pollution  and to save our earth from greenhouse effects  we should plant more and more trees. Trees make the earth beautiful. Trees gives us fruits which are  the best  kind  of food. That  is why  heaven  is  imagined  as a  garden  full  of  trees. The earth  without  trees would  be a big desert  where  all  animals  will  die . So we should plant more trees.
   Environment Pollution
           Environment means the surroundings  which is  around  us. There are many things which pollute the environment. Defunct garbage, carbon- di–oxide, carbon mono-oxide of the engines, different kinds of chemical trash, toxic water and unbearable sound pollute the environment.

                           My visit to place of Historical Interest
      I am always curious by nature to know the places of historical interest. Whenever I get an opportunity, I visit  a  place . During  the last  winter  vacation, I got  such  an opportunity to visit Shat Gambuj Mosque at Bagherhat , a great  historical place with my parents. The Mazar of Khan Jahan Ali at Bagherhat is a fine one storied building. It has a beautiful dome. It is a big and beautiful building. The mosque is beautifully decorated both inside  and outside . The mosque was used as a prayer hall as well  as the court of Khan Jahan Ali.The mosque has great attraction  for  the tourists and visitors. There  is a  big dighi. It  is said  that a horse was made to run before digging the dighi. The  horse run straight covering a certain distance from the dighi. That distance was accepted  as  the length of the dighi. That is why, the dighi is called Ghora Dighi.I visited the whole length of the dighi and came to know many things about the social works of Khan Jahan Ali. I spent seven hours there  and saw many historical things and enjoyed myself. Now, It is one of the greatest tourists  attractions and the best  architectural beauties  of Bangladesh. I left  Bagherhat  but  the  memory  still is vivid  in my memory.
   
   A Day Labour
   
   A day labourer is an unskilled person. He works in various fields. He works outdoor and usually employed in agricultural and constructional work. His work needs strength rather than skill. He works hard from dawn to dusk. He is generally paid at the end of the day. His income is very low and sometimes cannot earn even a reasonable wage. He usually lives in a slum and lives a sub-human life with his family. He goes out early in the morning to look for work. He works hard the whole day and buys food for his family. With his small earnings and returns home in the evening. Sometimes he and his family go without food if he cannot manage work. In harvesting season his work is in great demand and he can earn more. Then he can meet the bare necessaries of his life with his additional income. But in leisure period, when there is not much work for him, his conditions become worse. The life of a day labourer is full of sorrows and sufferings. He can hardly enjoy peace and happiness. In all weathers good and bad – he works hard all day long and earns his livelihood the sweat of his brow. Though the service of a day labourer is great importance, he is very much neglected. So pragmatic steps should be taken immediately to ensure jobs and shelter for this poorest of our population.
