Listen
to the folowing passage carefully and answer the questions below it.
In
1974 I was six years old. I can remember a very important event that happened
then. My mother said to me, “ Samira you’re going to start school tomorrow.”I
was very happy and excited, “ I’m going to be a student”,I throught. I couldn’t
think of anything else and at night I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about the
school, The teachers and about the other girls and boys because I wanted to go
to school very much. The next morning my father said, “ Come on, Samira, we’re
going to walk to your new school. We’re going to meet the headmaster. He’s a
friend of mine.”
So
that was my first day at school. My father took me there. The primary school is
quite a long way from our village. My
father walked, but I ran all the way. After about half an hour we arrived at
the school. There were many people there, but I didn’t know anyone. I was
afraid of all the new faces, because they didn’t look friendly. “ I’m not going
to enjoy this,” I thought.

Read
the passage carefullyand answer the questions following it.
Farabi
was sitting, bending his head down. He looked sad. His hair was untidy,
ruffled. It was clear he did not brush it at all.“What happened, Farabi? Are
you okay?” asked Flora.“I’m so shocked, Flora. I don’t want to talk,” said
Farabi.“But you have to. Any pain or hurt is like a load in the mind. If you
tell or share it with your parents or friends, it will be lighter. On the other
hand, if you don’t share it, the load will become heavier and more painful. So
please tell me what’s wrong,” Flora insisted.Farabi looked at Flora and said,
“One of my friends Harun is our school football team leader. Yesterday he just
dropped my name from the coming District Interschool Football Tournament. I
wanted to know why, but he didn’t even talk to me about it.”

Read the text
and answer the following questions.
Hamidur Rahman was the man who gave
shape to the concept and design of the Shaheed Minar by combining all the
aspirations of Bengali identity and nationalism. He was the first art student
of Bangladesh who in the 1950s went to Europe and studied at “Ecole de Beaux Art”
in Paris. He was the pioneer to the new painting movement in the then Pakistan.
But he is most remembered for his remarkable design of the central Shaheed
Minar.
When Hamidur Rahman was assigned to
make the design, he was full of enthusiasm focusing on the language movement as
the central concept. He wanted to find a new expression to convey the
aspirations of the people. He experimented with basic horizontal and vertical
forms to bring out the concept of Bengali solidarity and unity for their national
identity. The vertical line’s of his design provided the manifestations
of inner strength. The four columns
of both sides of the central structure reflect the balance and harmony of a united
stand.
The original design had included
stained glass, with hundreds of eyes,
through which the sunlight could pass. The marble floor was to reflect the
moving shadows of the column in an unending process of revolt from dawn to
dusk. In the basement of the Minar he had designed a grand fresco work of 1500
square feet, depicting the language movement. This was to be his masterpiece,
again reflecting the theme of geometric horizontal and vertical motifs of unity
and strength.
In 1989, Hamidur Rahman passed away. He is no more with us
but we remember him with great admiration and pride.
