A rolling stone no moss

Hard work is the key to success in anyone’s life. We cannot gain success by just doing a task; we have to put our 100% in any task so that we gain a great place in life.If we are unstable and lose our heart easily we cannot reach the place we desire in life. No matter how bad the obstacles are, we should not give up. Staying unmoved despite of so many problems will give a great courage to us. We should be well planned and organized in performing our tasks and we should not be deviated from our aim.We would have heard the great proverb:“A rolling stone gathers no moss”. A stone that keeps moving doesn’t gather any moss. At the same time, one that stays in a fixed place will gather green moss. This also means that we should be focused and stable about what we have to achieve in our life. Patience and perseverance matters a lot. It is good to be patient though failures hit continuously.When we see failure in life, we should not be demotivated. We should always remember “Failures are the stepping stones to success.” So, before getting into any task we should analyze the positives and negatives; later, we should not hesitate to proceed further. Being stable and determined is very important in life. If we keep moving from one place to another, we would be “Jack of All Trades; but master of none!”

A stitch in time saves nine, (Amplify the idea)

BCS 11th BCS Written English Proverbs

উত্তরঃ

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

The literal meaning of this saying is that a timely stitch to a rent in our garment will mend it quickly and easily. But if we delay mending it, the rent will be bigger and then to mend it with a stitch will take much more time. Procrastination in dealing with that rent, or an attitude of dealing with that tomorrow, will worsen it, will make it bigger and bigger every day, and it will take much more time and effort than was necessary if we took it up immediately. Metaphorically, it means that if any problem in our life starts off, we should try to address the problem immediately. But if we put off or procrastinate, the problem will grow bigger and more and more complex. A timely attempt to solve the problem in the very beginning might have taken a very small amount of time and effort; the problem might have been solved easily. But if we put it off for tomorrow, the tomorrow might never come, and many days would pass. The nature of things, especially of bad things, is to grow worse and worse every day. Even if we put off dealing with a problem, the problem would not remain static; it would grow bigger and bigger, and more and more complex. And solving it, when it has already grown unwieldy in size and complexity, would require much more time, energy, and effort than would have been necessary, had we taken it up in the very beginning. Or, even it is possible that the problem cannot be solved at all; it will then engulf our life, and we may be ruined'. As the proverb is true of the individual, it is also true of a nation. If any evil thing creeps into it, it should be removed immediately. If we fail to do that, it will develop into a festering sore and eat into the vitals of our people. The proverb is a call to immediate action in case of any problem. It is a call for the individual as well as for the nation.

We spent the evening like in the old days. (correct the sentence)

BCS 11th BCS Written English Appropriate Preposition

736

উত্তরঃ We spent the evening as in the old days.

In formal English, the conjunction "as" is used to introduce a clause or a phrase that indicates a comparison or the manner in which something is done. In this sentence, "as in the old days" describes how the evening was spent, implying "in the way it was done in the old days."

Conversely, "like" is primarily used as a preposition to mean "similar to" or "in the manner of," and is typically followed by a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. While "like" is often used informally in place of "as" or "as if," it is generally considered incorrect in standard written English when introducing a clause or an adverbial phrase of comparison.

For example:

Incorrect: She sings like she is a professional.
Correct: She sings as if she is a professional.
Correct: She sings like a professional. (Here, 'like' is a preposition followed by a noun phrase 'a professional'.)

Therefore, "as in the old days" is the grammatically correct and more formal choice for this context.
