July Revolution

The July Revolution was a student protest in Bangladesh. It caused the fall of the government in August 2024. The protest started in June because students did not like the 30% job quota for freedom fighters' children. Students had protested about this in 2013 and 2018 too. In July 2024, they blocked roads and stopped going to classes. On July 15, armed people attacked the students and hurt many. The protests became violent, with fights and deaths. The government tried to stop it by setting a curfew from July 20. But the students did not leave. They wanted the government to resign. On August 3, they gave a one-point demand: the Prime Minister must step down. Finally, on August 5, the then Prime Minister resigned and left the country. The students' unity and hard work ended the dictatorship and brought hope for a better Bangladesh.

Our National Flag
A national flag carries the identity of a nation. It is the token of freedom and sovereignty of the country. Just like other countries, we have our national flag too. We have earned it in 1971 through a long struggle for freedom against the oppressors. Our national flag has two colours: bright red in the middle and dark green around it. The red circle represents the sun of freedom and the green colour symbolizes the peaceful youthfulness of this green country. The proportion of the length and breadth of our flag is 10:6 and the radius of the red sun is one fifth of its length. Famous artist Quamrul Hassan designed our national flag. It is generally made from cotton or silk cloths. It is hoisted in all the government office buildings. On national days and mourning days, it is kept half-mast. Our national flag is our pride. It has made the world recognise us as a free and sovereign country. We must take a vow to uphold the glory of our national flag and protect its honour with our lives.

A Railway Station
A railway station is a common place where trains stop and take passengers for the next destination. It is a very busy and crowded place. In a regular sized railway station, usually there are one or two buildings. In those buildings, there are the station master's office, ticket counter, booking office for goods, and waiting rooms for the male and female passengers. There are also tea stalls along with various other stalls where the passengers can buy food stuff and other necessary articles. There is a point's man who maintains the signals. He moves along the railway platform with red and green flags in his hand. There are hawkers and coolies for whom the station looks lively. When a train arrives, the station becomes busy and noisy. Many passengers get into the train and many get down from it. When trains leave the station, it becomes calm and quiet momentarily. Sometimes, it looks like a desolate place, especially in the midnight. However, when a train arrives, the station gets rejuvenated with life.

City Life
Many people think that cities are the best places to live in. City life has some advantages. The city has good communication network and easy means of transport. There are good schools, colleges and hospitals. Also, one can find work more easily. In spite of all these things, city life has a number of disadvantages. disadvantages. The people here always remain busy with themselves. Besides, air in cities is terribly polluted. There is scarcity of pure drinking water. Free movement on the city streets is not possible as the footpaths are always occupied by vendors and hawkers. There are also piles of garbage found here and there. Traffic jam is another serious problem in cities and it often paralyses the city life. Life in cities is also insecure. A person may be mugged or attacked by terrorists at any place or time. So, cities are not the best places to live in.
