Computer and it’s uses

Computer is one of the most brilliant gifts of science. It is constantly being updated to make our lives
better. In fact it is a wonderful electronic brain that we have come to rely on in our everyday life. This
device was originally developed by Charles Babbage.

Computer has been proved a friend and servant of science, technology and industry. Most offices, shops,
factories and industries use computers. The internet on a computer is a storehouse of information.
Computer is a boon to all. It has made the world a global village today.

Computer has influenced every field of activity. It helps us in solving many difficult problems of multiple
calculations. Computer has a huge memory. It can hold large amount of data.

It has reduced the paperwork. The traffic in large cities is controlled by computers. Automation in banks
and railway stations has provided relief to the public. Ticketing and reservation have become more efficient
and convenient . It is used to investigate disease accurately. Business transactions are easily managed by
using computers.

Computer is the backbone of information technology . One can also apply for a job or admission in a
college by filling the application form online. Computer helps to save our time and energy. One can also
see results of any examination on the internet.

Computer has also some disadvantages . Many students waste their time playing computer games. The
rises of cyber crime, the use of chat rooms for indecent discussion and certain websites which deal in
pornographic material have been noticed.

But the advantages and importance outweigh the disadvantages. Through computerization, the world has
become a global village today.
 [Link] Problem in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has so many problems and crises . Population problem is one of the most serious problems
among them. It hampers the development of our country.

Undoubtedly Bangladesh is a densely populated small country. Her area is about 55,598 square miles. In
this small area, she contains more than 160 million people. The rate of density is about 2,698 per square
miles which is absolutely surprising and every day the rate is increasing. So, It becomes very difficult for
Bangladesh to provide her citizens food, clothing, housing, communication, medical service, employment,
education and all other fundamental demands.

Bangladesh mostly depends on agriculture for her economy. She has very few mineral products. She is not
self-sufficient in food. She is not industrially developed. So, she is not able to export her industrial or
agricultural products. Besides she is to face natural calamities every now and then. So, Bangladesh is to
import many necessary things every year. Increasing population keeps so much pressure on the economic
development of Bangladesh.

Over population is creating so many problems. Poverty, hunger, malnutrition , diseases, restlessness ,
disorder, illiteracy, backwardness , unemployment, frustrations are on the increase for over population. In
brief, over population has become a national problem of Bangladesh. So, it is high time we took necessary
steps for population control.

To control population, we have to go to our villages at first. About eighty percent people live in villages.
Most of them are illiterate. They do not realize the importance of family planning . They do not know how
to control population. Religious misinterpretations interrupt them to adopt Family planning. So, we have
to raise consciousness among the village people.

Recently, Bangladesh Government has taken some necessary steps to control population. Besides,
different electronic media are presenting cautionary programmes regarding the solution of the population
problem of Bangladesh. We can hope that we will be successful in population control in near future.
 3.A journey I have enjoyed

A journey is a source of pleasure to me. A journey by boat is more interesting to me than any other journey.
Bangladesh is a land of rivers. So, it is easy to enjoy a journey by boat here.

During the last autumn our school was closed. It was a suitable time for me to have a journey. That time
my friend invited me. It was much easier to reach my friend’s house by boat. So, I decided to make the
journey by boat. I proposed some of my cousin to join me to make the journey more interesting. Two of
my cousin accepted my proposal and accompanied me.

It was a five-kilometre journey. We had hired a boat. We started at 3 pm. Two boatmen steered the boat
smoothly. They were very expert. The weather was calm and quiet. Gentle breeze was pushing the soil. So
the journey was very nice. It took one hour to reach our destination. During the journey we had a lot of
enjoyment. The boat was dancing on the small waves and it thrilled me much. We also enjoyed a ‘Bhatiali’
song sung by the boatmen.

We were delighted at the sight on both the banks of the river. Some fishermen were catching fish. Many
children were bathing and swimming in the river. I saw some young girls and women taking water from
the river. When the sun was setting in the western horizon, the scene gave us a nice view and it increased
our joy.

It was really a nice journey and I will ever remember this journey. I wish I could make a journey like this in
the following year.

[Link] Addiction

Drug addiction means excessive attraction to illegal hard substance or drug such as heroin, cocaine,
marijuana etc. is called drug addiction. Drug addiction is curse of modern civilization. It is now a global
problem. Frustration, family conflict, rejection of love are the causes of this addiction. When there is no
hope left for the young people, they become addicted to drug. The drugs are very expensive. Young boys
cannot afford to buy them. In order to arrange money, they have to commit many kinds of social crimes
like hijacking, looting, plundering, killing etc. Drug addiction has a terrible effect on human body. People
feel drowsy and lose appetite. The poisonous effect of drug is dangerous. It may damage the brain and all
internal functions of the body. The treatment of the drug addicts is expensive and difficult. In Bangladesh
the drug problem has become so acute. Thousands of families in cities, towns and even rural areas are
directly or indirectly affected by it. Recently, Bangladesh is often used by the international drug smugglers
as transit of transmission of drug from one country to another. The remedy for drug addiction is not very
easy. All concerned must create awareness at personal and family levels against the dangerous impact of
drug addiction among the youth. When each and every person is sincere to drive this curse of drug
addiction from the society, the human beings can get rid of it.

The importance of afforestation beggars description while deforestation is a curse. Deforestation

means indiscriminate cutting down of trees. People are filling trees to meet up their needs of
food and housing. To get more space for cultivation, people are clearing forests. The lucrative
price of wood also allures people to cut down trees. Deforestation is a great problem in the
developing countries. Trees play an important role in maintaining ecological balance by producing
oxygen and taking up carbon dioxide. Due to deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing in the
atmosphere. As a result, the world is becoming warmer. The sea level is rising and many parts
of the world is going to be engulfed by the sea in near future. On the other hand, new areas
of the world are turning into deserts as an immediate effect of deforestation. Flood, soil erosion
and drought etc. are occurring frequently because of deforestation. We can take some measures
to prevent deforestation. Tree plantation programme should be expanded to the remote corner
of the country. Each man and each woman should plant at least a tree. The government should
make T.V. and radio programme on the subject of afforestation. The common people should be
informed of the danger of deforestation. In a word, our consciousness about the risk of
deforestation and importance of afforestation can save country from disaster.
