Academic & Admission Care

 Seen Passage-01
01. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B. [Unit-05; Lesson-01]
Education gives us knowledge and a set of abilities to function meaningfully in life, such as the ability to decide
things rationally and make the right choices. As we learn how to read, write and do the basic operations of
arithmetic, we gain a degree of self-confidence. We learn to think for ourselves and articulate our thoughts; we
pick up skills to communicate with others and manage our affairs well. Education helps us think independently
and make our own opinions. As we know more about the world, we appreciate the good things it offers us but
also become critical of the deviations from the values it imparts and the rise of hatred or conflict that follows.
The first thing education does is to give us an awareness about ourselves which leads to the development of our
personality. As we begin school, we feel the need to belong to the class and make friends. We then expand our
sense of belonging to include the school at large, our community and finally our country. Education thus prepares
every child to become an active member of the community and work for its welfare.
Education, it is believed, releases our potentials and our inner strengths. It sharpens our intellect and
develops our creativity. As we are taught to reason well and find solutions to the problems of life we become
productive members of society. Education by definition is progressive and liberal, teaching us to respect
human diversity and cultural and religious differences. If all of us practice these values in life, the world
becomes a much happier place.
Education also fosters critical thinking and provides us a set of competencies including life skills that enable us
to become competitive even in the most challenging of circumstances. Education also teaches us to appreciate
beauty and the bounties of nature.
School, however, is not the only place where a child gets education. A Bangla poem tells us that nature can be
our best teacher. Here are a couple of lines from the poem in English translation:
The sky has taught me to be liberal.
The wind has given me the motto to be industrious.
If we can make nature our friend, philosopher and guide, we can learn lessons about life that, combined with what
our schools teach us, will prepare us for the future.
Education not only enriches us with knowledge, abilities and skills, it also teaches us values. Values can be
individual, interpersonal, organizational or societal. Thus students receiving good education develop self-respect
but also learn to respect others; they know the importance of honesty and learn to trust others; they develop
compassion and fellow feeling and become aware of the need to protect the environment. If students combine the
values, they learn at home with those that the school gives them, they will not deviate from the right path unless
they fall into bad company. The famous French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1895) once said, “He who opens a
school door, closes a prison.”

(a) Education provides us with knowledge and a set of abilities to work meaningfully in life. Thus, we become
able to decide things reasonably and make the right choices in our life. Moreover, it provides us with some
life skills needed to be competitive even in the most challenging situations.
(b) By creating awareness in us, education develops personality in ourselves. With the beginning of our school,
we feel the necessity of making friends and expanding our sense of belonging to the class, school, our
community and finally our country. Thus, education prepares every child to become an active member of the
community and work for its welfare.
(c) It is education which releases our potentials and inner strengths. Education not only sharpens our intellect
but also develops our creativity. It is accepted as true about education.
(d) According to the definition of education, education is progressive and liberal. It teaches us how to respect

learning from nature with what our school teaches us, we will be able to prepare us for the future.

our own opinion. Also, it teaches us how to earn and develop critical and logical thinking making our
thinking power more sophisticated.
(h) Yes, I believe that education leads the path to socialization. Because, education gives us an awareness
about ourselves which leads to the development of our personality. As we begin school, we feel the need to
belong to the class and make friends. We then expand our sense of belonging to include the school at large,
our community and finally our country. Education thus prepares every child’s socialization to become an
active member of the community and work for its welfare.
(i) By education, we learn how to read, write and do the basic operations of arithmetic. So, we gain a degree
of self-confidence. We learn to think for ourselves and articulate our thoughts; we pick up skills to
communicate with others. Thus we obtain the ability to manage our affairs well.
(j) As our “friend, philosopher and guide,” nature will help us to have lessons related to our real life which
combining with our school teaching can prepare us for the future.
(k) We are benefitted by education in many ways such as it gives us knowledge and through this knowledge,
we may get the ability of functioning our lives in a proper way. Also, we may get self-confidence that
refines and polishes our thoughts.
(l) Whenever we achieve knowledge of reading, writing and doing the fundamental operating of mathematics, through
the help of education, our self-confidence automatically increases to a greater extent.
(m) The roles of education are to enlighten people and prepare children to make an active member of a
community. Also, it enables us to work for the development of the community. Sometimes, education
helps to find out the latent talent of the community.
(n) Nature is our friend, philosopher and guide. It helps us by making our thinking luminous and building us as
an industrious entity. It works like school by giving the knowledge of practical life.
(o) The sky teaches us to be liberal because when we look at the infinite sky, we can feel the independence
within ourselves. In addition, it helps us develop our own dignity. Thus, the sky teaches us to be liberal.

 Seen Passage-02
01. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B. [Unit-05; Lesson-02]
Once upon a time there lived a bird. It was unlettered. It sang but couldn’t recite a word of scripture. It hopped
and it flew but lacked all sense of manners.
The King said, “Such a bird is of no use. Yet it devours fruit from the forest, bringing down the profits of fruiteries
in the royal market.”
He summoned the Minister and commanded, “Educate the bird!”
The task of educating the bird fell on the King’s nephews, his sisters’ sons.
The learned men of the court deliberated long. They pondered the reasons behind the ignorance of the creature in
question. The conclusion: the bird’s nest made of straw and twigs could not hold much knowledge. Therefore,
the first thing needed was a proper cage.
The royal scholars received handsome fees and happily went home.
A goldsmith set to work on a gilded cage. It turned out to be of such exquisite workmanship that people from far
and near crowded round for a look. Some said, “This is education par excellence.” Others said, “Even if it learns
nothing, it has got the cage. What a lucky bird.”
The goldsmith was delighted to get a bagful of money as reward and went home at once.
A teacher came to give lessons to the bird. He took a pinch of snuff and declared, “This isn’t a matter of just a
few texts.”
One of the royal nephews sent for scribes. They made multiple copies of various texts until there was a veritable
mountain. “Bravo!” exclaimed those who saw it, “There is no room for any more knowledge.”
The scribes loaded their wages onto bullocks and merrily headed home. They would never again want for
anything.
The nephews were constantly busy looking after the expensive cage. Repairs were always under way. Anyone who
saw the endless dusting, wiping and polishing had to agree that there was “marked improvement”.
A large maintenance crew was needed, and more personnel to supervise them. They all got handsome monthly
salaries, which they saved in their wooden chests. Even their cousins came to live with them in cushioned comfort.
The world is short of many things but not detractors. They said, “The cage looks better no doubt, but has anyone
taken notice of the bird?”
This was reported to the King. He said to a nephew, “What’s this I hear?”
“Your Majesty,” replied the nephew, “If you wish to hear the truth summon the goldsmiths, the scholars, the
scribes, the maintenance crew and their supervisors. Those who haven’t got a share of the royal bounty are
resorting to slander.”
Everything became clear to the King and he rewarded his nephew a gold with chain.

twigs were unable to hold much knowledge.
(d) There was no room for any more knowledge because the scribes made a lot of texts and all were wonderful.

said that there was no more knowledge that did not include in the texts.
(e) The mentioned line indicates the statement of detractor who complained against a nephew that the bird was
not being looked after properly though the allegation was proved false.
