Bangla Meaning of Important Words

1. Dhaka Board-2020

An ideal (আদর্শ) teacher is often (প্রায়শই) compared (তুলনা করা হয়) with an architect (স্থপতি). He is called the architect of a nation (জাতি). He is the light (আলো) of learning (শিক্ষা) and makes the illiterate (নিরক্ষর) people worthy (যোগ্য) citizens (নাগরিক) of our country. But it is a matter of regret (দুঃখ/পরিতাপ) that the teachers are not held in due respect (যথার্থ সম্মান) in our society (সমাজ). They lead a humble (সাধারণ/বিনয়ী) life in the midst (মাঝে) of want (অভাব). Still they keep the light of education burning (জ্বলন্ত) in order to remove (দূর করা) the dark (অন্ধকার) of illiteracy (নিরক্ষরতা) and superstitions (কুসংস্কার) from the society.

2. Mymensingh Board-2020

Festivals (উৎসব) have always been integral (অবিচ্ছেদ্য) parts (অংশ) of our tradition (ঐতিহ্য) and culture (সংস্কৃতি). We have a number (সংখ্যা/পরিমাণ) of festivals which we celebrate (উদযাপন করি) throughout (সারা বছর ধরে) the year. Some of our the festivals are related (সম্পর্কিত) to our history (ইতিহাস) of Independence (স্বাধীনতা) and Language Movement (আন্দোলন). Some are related to our religions (ধর্ম) and the rests (অবশিষ্ট) are related to our art (শিল্প) and culture. Whatever may be the occasion (অনুষ্ঠান), people from all walks (স্তর/ক্ষেত্র) of the society take part (অংশগ্রহণ করে) in these festivals spontaneously (স্বতঃস্ফূর্তভাবে). We should continue (অব্যাহত রাখা) the tradition of our festivals.

3. Cumilla Board-2020

Without effort (প্রচেষ্টা) there can be no success (সাফল্য) in life. Life loses (হারায়) its interest (আগ্রহ) if there is no struggle (সংগ্রাম/লড়াই). Games become dull (নীরস/বিরক্তিকর) if there is no competition (প্রতিযোগিতা) in them and if the result (ফলাফল) can be easily (সহজে) foreseen (পূর্বাভাস দেওয়া). No matter we win the game or lose (হারি) it, the keen (তীব্র) the contest (প্রতিযোগিতা), the greater (বেশি) the interest. A victory (বিজয়) is not a real triumph (জয়/বিজয়) unless both the sides (পক্ষ) are equally (সমানভাবে) strong (শক্তিশালী). Whether we like it or not, life is a continuous (ধারাবাহিক) competitive (প্রতিযোগিতামূলক) examination (পরীক্ষা).

4. Rajshahi Board-2020

Nowadays (আজকাল), parents are very conscious (সচেতন) of the harmful (ক্ষতিকর) effect (প্রভাব) of punishment (শাস্তি) on children. Child psychologists (মনোবিজ্ঞানী) think that both physical (শারীরিক) and mental (মানসিক) punishments can be disastrous (ভয়াবহ) for a child's growth (বৃদ্ধি) and development (বিকাশ). It may lead to (পরিণত হতে পারে) fear (ভয়) and hatred (ঘৃণা) of the person who punishes (শাস্তি দেয়) the child. Again, if a child is punished, he may lack (অভাব) initiative (উদ্যোগ). He may also feel hostile (শত্রুভাবাপন্ন) to others. So, rude (রূঢ়/অশিষ্ট) behaviour (আচরণ) gradually (ধীরে ধীরে) develops (বিকাশ লাভ করে) in him.

5. Dinajpur Board-2020

Travelling (ভ্রমণ) has a great influence (প্রভাব) on our minds. The human mind always craves (তীব্র আকাঙ্ক্ষা করে) for change (পরিবর্তন). There is none who does not feel a thrill (উত্তেজনা) of joy (আনন্দ) at the new sight (দৃশ্য) and experience (অভিজ্ঞতা). The traveller comes in contact (যোগাযোগ) with various (বিভিন্ন) types (ধরনের) of people. If he moves about with observant (মনোযোগী/পর্যবেক্ষণকারী) eyes (চোখ), he can acquire (অর্জন করা) a lot of practical (ব্যবহারিক) knowledge (জ্ঞান) about men and things of the world which books alone cannot provide (সরবরাহ করা). Travelling gives us an opportunity (সুযোগ) to enjoy (উপভোগ করা) the most enchanting (সবচেয়ে মন্ত্রমুগ্ধকর) sights of nature (প্রকৃতি). It helps one enrich (সমৃদ্ধ করা) his knowledge and makes him a complete (পূর্ণাঙ্গ) perfect (নিখুঁত) man.

6. Jashore Board-2020

A teacher is often (প্রায়শই) compared (তুলনা করা হয়) with an architect (স্থপতি). He is called the architect of a nation (জাতি). He is the light (আলো) of learning (শিক্ষা) and makes the illiterate (নিরক্ষর) people worthy (যোগ্য) citizens (নাগরিক) of our country. But it is a matter of regret (দুঃখ/পরিতাপ) that the teachers are not held in due respect (যথার্থ সম্মান) in our society (সমাজ). They lead a humble (সাধারণ/বিনয়ী) life in the midst (মাঝে) of want (অভাব). Still they keep the light of education burning (জ্বলন্ত) in order to remove (দূর করা) the dark (অন্ধকার) of illiteracy (নিরক্ষরতা) and superstitions (কুসংস্কার) from the society.

7. Chattogram Board-2020

Student politics hampers (বাধাগ্রস্ত করে) the normal (স্বাভাবিক) progress (অগ্রগতি) of a student. It brings prosperity (সমৃদ্ধি) to a few but causes (কারণ হয়) harm (ক্ষতি) to many. Because of student politics the administration (প্রশাসন) of a college or university is hinderd (বাধাগ্রস্ত/প্রতিহত). As a result (ফলস্বরূপ), there arises (সৃষ্টি হয়/দেখা দেয়) session jam (শিক্ষাবর্ষের জট). For this problem (সমস্যা) of the campus (শিক্ষাঙ্গন), student politics is mainly (প্রধানত) responsible (দায়ী). So, we should think (চিন্তা করা) about the necessity (প্রয়োজনীয়তা) of student politics. Either we should avoid (এড়িয়ে চলা) student politics or we should bring about a positive (ইতিবাচক) change (পরিবর্তন) in this sector (খাত).

8. Sylhet Board-2020

Education (শিক্ষা) removes (দূর করে) our ignorance (অজ্ঞানতা) and gives us the light (আলো) of knowledge (জ্ঞান). In respect (ক্ষেত্রে) of imparting (প্রদান করা) education, there should be no discrimination (বৈষম্য) between man and woman. Education is one of the basic (মৌলিক) human (মানবিক) rights (অধিকার). If we deprive (বঞ্চিত করি) woman of the right (অধিকার) of education, almost (প্রায়) half of our population (জনসংখ্যা) will remain (থেকে যাবে) in darkness. No development (উন্নয়ন) can be brought about (সৃষ্টি করা) without the participation (অংশগ্রহণ) of woman. So, the government (সরকার) is doing everything to educate (শিক্ষিত করা) the womenfolk (নারী সমাজ).

9. Barishal Board-2020

Child labour (শিশুশ্রম) is one of the biggest curses (অভিসম্পাত) of the 21st century. It is unfortunate (দুর্ভাগ্যজনক) that this has become very accepted (গৃহীত) in our society. Only poverty (দারিদ্র্য) is responsible (দায়ী) for this. In a family (পরিবার) of five or six children, the parents have to send (পাঠাতে হয়) their kids to work (কাজ) so that they can fill (পূরণ করতে পারে) their empty (খালি) stomach (পেট). These poor (গরিব) and helpless (অসহায়) children are rewarded (পুরস্কৃত) with all kinds of abuse (অত্যাচার/দুর্ব্যবহার) though (যদিও) they work hard (কঠোর) all day long. No other thing is as disgraceful (লজ্জাজনক/অপমানজনক) as child abuse (শিশু নির্যাতন) for a nation. The government has taken necessary measures (পদক্ষেপ) to check (রোধ করা/নিয়ন্ত্রণ করা) it.

10. Dhaka Board-2023

Bangladesh is a south Asian (এশীয়) country. It is blessed (ধন্য) with natural (প্রাকৃতিক) beauty (সৌন্দর্য). Natural resources (সম্পদ) abound (প্রচুর পরিমাণে আছে) in this country. Bangladesh shares (ভাগ করে) boundary (সীমানা) with India and Myanmar. The three sides (দিক) of the country are surrounded (পরিবেষ্টিত) by these two neighbours (প্রতিবেশী). The Bay of Bengal is to the south of Bangladesh. The majority (অধিকাংশ) of the large (বিশাল) mangrove forest (ম্যানগ্রোভ বন) Sundarbans lies (অবস্থিত) in this country. This forest is the abode (আবাসস্থল/নিবাস) of the world famous (বিখ্যাত) Rayal Bengal Tiger. A number (সংখ্যা) of rivers have crisscrossed (জালের মতো ছেয়ে আছে) this forest. It is also a great source (উৎস) of natural wealth (সম্পদ). Bangladesh got her independence (স্বাধীনতা) through a nine month long freedom war (মুক্তিযুদ্ধ).

11. Mymensingh Board-2023

A student must have the habit (অভ্যাস) of reading (পড়া) newspaper every day. Mere (কেবল/শুধু) bookish (কেতাবি/পুঁথিগত) knowledge (জ্ঞান) is not enough (পর্যাপ্ত) in this competitive (প্রতিযোগিতামূলক) world. Newspapers help him enrich (সমৃদ্ধ করা) his general knowledge (সাধারণ জ্ঞান) and make him aware (সচেতন) of the current issues (সাম্প্রতিক ঘটনাবলী) both inside and outside the country. A man who doesn’t read newspaper is like a frog in a narrow well (কূপ/গর্ত). Being ignorant (অজ্ঞ) of the current affairs (সাম্প্রতিক বিষয়াদি), he cannot take part (অংশগ্রহণ করতে) in the talks (আলোচনা) and discussions (বিতর্ক) in an enlightened (আলোকিত/জ্ঞানী) society and feels (অনুভব করে) like a fish out of water (জল থেকে তুলে আনা মাছের মতো). By reading newspapers one can widen (বিস্তৃত করা) one’s range (ব্যাপ্তি) of knowledge in the field (ক্ষেত্র) of science, history, geography, literature etc.

12. Cumilla Board-2023

The development (উন্নয়ন) of a nation is not an easy (সহজ) task (কাজ). It depends (নির্ভর করে) on the willingness (ইচ্ছা) and sacrificing attitude (ত্যাগ করার মনোভাব) of the valiant (সাহসী) sons and daughters (কন্যা) of the soil. They don’t work for any appreciation (প্রশংসা) or reward (পুরস্কার) for themselves. Their vision (লক্ষ্য/দৃষ্টি) is to make the world a better place (স্থান) to live (বাস করা) in. They are always proud (গর্বিত) of such selfless (নিঃস্বার্থ) ventures (উদ্যোগ). Their mission (উদ্দেশ্য/অভিযান) is to serve (সেবা করা) the greater (মহত্তর) interest (স্বার্থ) of humanity (মানবতা). They spend (ব্যয় করে) their lives (জীবন) for the welfare (কল্যাণ) of people, the society and the country as a whole (পুরোটা মিলিয়ে).

13. Rajshahi Board-2023

The Padma multi-purpose bridge has opened a new era (যুগ) in the history (ইতিহাস) of Bangladesh. This mega project (বিশাল প্রকল্প) has been implemented (বাস্তবায়িত) without (ছাড়া) any foreign aid (বিদেশি সাহায্য). The southern 21 districts were cut off (বিচ্ছিন্ন) from the mainland (মূল ভূখণ্ড) by the mighty (শক্তিশালী/প্রবল) Padma river. So, this vast (বিশাল) area could not keep pace with (তাল মিলিয়ে চলতে) the other parts (অংশ) in economic (অর্থনৈতিক) development. But, direct connection (সরাসরি সংযোগ) with the capital (রাজধানী) by this bridge is going to expand (প্রসারিত করা) trade and commerce (বাণিজ্য). Besides tour (পর্যটন) is also going to speed up (দ্রুত করা). All these are contributing (অবদান রাখছে) a lot to our economic growth (বৃদ্ধি) and surely (নিশ্চিতভাবে) reduce (হ্রাস করা) the poverty (দারিদ্র্য) of those regions (অঞ্চল). The construction (নির্মাণ) of the bridge which was our long-cherished (দীর্ঘ-লালিত) dream (স্বপ্ন) at last came true (সত্য).

14. Dinajpur Board-2023

All we know that mobile phone is the most essential (অপরিহার্য) invention (আবিষ্কার) of modern science. Nowadays, it is very needless (অপ্রয়োজনীয়) for us. At present (বর্তমান), it is very small (ছোট) and light (হালকা). Revolutionary (বিপ্লবী) changes (পরিবর্তন) have been brought about (এনেছে) in social communication (সামাজিক যোগাযোগ) by mobile phone. The whole world (বিশ্ব) has now become smaller (ছোট) and closer (কাছাকাছি) unbelievably (অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে) in respect (ক্ষেত্রে) of communicating (যোগাযোগ করা) information (তথ্য). But it is needless to say that mobile phone has some demerits (খারাপ দিক) too. Over all, it is a great blessing (আশীর্বাদ) for mankind (মানবজাতি).

15. Jashore Board-2023

Examination (পরীক্ষা) is the process (প্রক্রিয়া) of assessing (মূল্যায়ন করা) the academic (শিক্ষাগত) knowledge of the learners (শিক্ষার্থী). So, it should be absolutely (সম্পূর্ণরূপে) fair (ন্যায়সঙ্গত/পক্ষপাতহীন). The authority (কর্তৃপক্ষ) should conduct (পরিচালনা করা) and supervise (তত্ত্বাবধান করা) it in the best possible way (সর্বোত্তম সম্ভাব্য উপায়ে). Adopting (গ্রহণ করা) unethical (নীতিবিরুদ্ধ) activities (কার্যকলাপ) in the examination is a great offence (অপরাধ). It degrades (মান হ্রাস করে) the standard (মান) of education. In case (ক্ষেত্রে) of the students’ failure (ব্যর্থতা) to acquire (অর্জন করা) true (প্রকৃত) education, the nation will suffer (কষ্ট পাবে) greatly (খুব বেশি). So all students should make the best use (সঠিক ব্যবহার) of time in order to be truly (সত্যিই) educated (শিক্ষিত).

About one thousand years ago, chocolate, was so valuable (মূল্যবান) that it was used (ব্যবহৃত হতো) as money (টাকা)! Chocolate comes (আসে) from the Cacao tree (গাছ) that grows (জন্মায়) near the equator (বিষুবরেখা). When (যখন) the trees are seen (দেখা যায়) to produce (উৎপন্ন করা) pods (ফল/বীজকোষ), the farmers collect (সংগ্রহ করে) the seeds (বীজ) from them. Then sugar, cinnamon (দারুচিনি), vanilla (ভ্যানিলা), milk and other spices (মশলা) are added (যোগ করা) to the matured (পরিপক্ক) seeds. The origin (উৎস) of chocolate is interesting (মজাদার). Colombus brought (এনেছিলেন) Cacao beans to Spain first. Later (পরে), people learned (শিখেছিল) how to change (পরিবর্তন করা) chocolate from liquid (তরল) to solid (কঠিন). And by 1847, they started enjoying (উপভোগ করা) chocolate candy bars!

English language has a world wide importance (ব্যাপক গুরুত্ব). It is the second (দ্বিতীয়) language in our country. We study it as a compulsory (বাধ্যতামূলক) subject (বিষয়) from class I to class XII. Even then, we are not able (সক্ষম) to write (লিখতে) well. There are so many reasons (কারণ) behind it. Firstly, there is no continuous (ধারাবাহিক) development (উন্নয়ন) of the syllabus (পাঠ্যসূচি) according (অনুসারে) to the class standard (মান). Secondly, the examinations are taken only based (ভিত্তিক) on writing skill (লেখার দক্ষতা). Thirdly, lack (অভাব) of vocabulary (শব্দভান্ডার) is responsible (দায়ী) for it. Another problem is the lack of English speaking environment (পরিবেশ). Finally, there is a shortage (ঘাটতি) of English teachers across (সারা) the country.

18. Barishal Board-2023

Language (ভাষা) is a way (উপায়) of human (মানবিক) communication (যোগাযোগ). And the ability (ক্ষমতা/যোগ্যতা) to use (ব্যবহার করা) any language is called the language skill (দক্ষতা). All human beings (প্রাণী/মানুষ) acquire (অর্জন করে) this skill from their respective (নিজ নিজ) environment (পরিবেশ). That is, human babies begin (শুরু করে) to acquire this language skill from just after (পরে) their birth (জন্ম). If this process continues (অব্যাহত থাকে) without (ছাড়া) any obstruction (বাধা), a baby can communicate (যোগাযোগ করতে) with the people of the same language smoothly (সহজে/সাবলীলভাবে) within 3 to 4 years. During this period (সময়কাল), the baby does not need (দরকার) to read (পড়া) or write (লেখা) for acquiring the language skill. The baby only goes on (চালিয়ে যায়) listening (শোনা), speaking (বলা), picking up (গ্রহণ করা/শেখা) words. This process is called acquisition (অর্জন) of language and this acquisition mostly (অধিকাংশ ক্ষেত্রে) takes place (ঘটে) while learning (শেখা) one’s first language (প্রথম ভাষা). We acquire the language skill of Bangla in this process. This is why, Bangla is called our first language.
