Journeys are always a pleasure to me. Whenever I go on a journey my heart leaps up with joy. I got an opportunity to make a journey by bus. My friend, Sohel, serves in Khulna. He invited me to pay a visit to Khulna.On the 4th September, I got upon Dhaka-Khulna coach at Gabtali bus stand. I procured a ticket the day before. The bus was to start at 7 a.m. So, I reached the Gabtali bus stand at 6 a.m. The seats of the coach were comfortable. Luckily, I had my seat by the window. It was a sunny morning. The bus left at 7 a.m. The bus started running at a good speed and soon we were far from the din and bustle of the city. We enjoyed beautiful green fields, orchards, and trees on both sides of the highway. I also enjoyed beautiful campus of the Jahangir Nagar University, the Savar Dairy Farm, and Savar Cantonment. The bus was moving ahead leaving behind the trees, houses and small shops on either side of the road. It was really very delightful to watch the green beauties of nature. An interesting part of the journey was crossing the mighty river, the Padma, by ferry. We reached at Aricha within an hour and a half. The driver told us to get down from the bus. When I got down from the bus and got on the ferry, I felt a good relief and saw the boats plying on the placid water of the mighty river. At the ferry ghat, there were some hawkers and vendors who were selling fruits, chanachur, muri, betel leaf, and the cigarette. Some passengers bought muri and chanachur. Crossing by ferry in the gentle breeze was very pleasant. Our bus reached Daulatdia ghat. Again I took my seat. The bus began to run at a high speed. We crossed Rajbari and Faridpur on the way. We also crossed Magura and Jhenaidah on the way and reached Jessore town at about 2 p.m. I enjoyed the natural beautiful scenery on the other side of the highway. When our bus stopped at Jessore, some passengers got down. Our bus reached Khulna at 3:30 p.m. Sohel received me at the bus stand.The journey gave me much pleasure. It was one of the most memorable days in my life. The memory of this journey always hurts me in a great deal

Man gets tired of the monotonous works. He wants relief. It is tea which removes his tiredness, refreshes his mind and gives energy. Now a day, tea is the most popular drink all over the world. Almost all people take tea daily. Tea was first grown in China. Now it grows in Bangladesh, India, Japan, Indonesia, and Ceylon. Tea grows in hot and moist climate. It grows on the slope of hills or hilly regions. It requires excessive rain, but the rain water must not stay at the root. So, hilly countries are the best place for tea cultivation. In Bangladesh, there are many tea gardens in Sylhet and Chittagong. Tea plants need moist climate for their growth. Tea seeds are sown in the nursery during the rainy season. The seedlings are transplanted over areas in rows from four to six feet apart. The plants are watered and weeds are removed timely for the smooth growth of the plants. It grows twenty to thirty feet high in its wild state. But they are not allowed to grow so high in the garden. They were pruned and allowed to grow for three to four feet high.There are four crops a year. The first plucking gives the best tea. The leaves are picked up four times a year. The first plucking is done in spring, the second in May, the third in June, and the fourth in August. The second plucking gives larger leaves of dull green color, but they have less flavor. The leaves of the third and fourth picking are of inferior quality. A large number of coolies of both sexes go out in the morning, each with a basket behind their back and gather buds and leaves. After the picking has been done, the buds and leaves are taken to a house. There the leaves and buds are dried in the sun. Then they are rolled by a machine to press out the tea. The leaves are then spread out on the floor of a moist room where they dry up completely and become black and brittle. Thus, they are made ready to be used for drink. Tea is a good drink. It makes us feel fresh and strong when we get tired after hard labor. It is cheap too. When a visitor comes to our house, we can easily entertain him with a cup of tea. Tea is termed as the refreshing drink, but it is not always good for health. In hot countries, it does more harm than good. Too much of it is bad for health. It kills hunger. So, we should be careful about it.The demand of our tea is worldwide spreading. The importance of tea in our national economy can hardly be over emphasized in the true sense of the term. It strengthens our dilapidated economy by bringing many foreign coins. It is the responsibility of all and government to be more attentive.

The banana is also my favorite fruit. I like litchi too. Fruits are a source of vitamins. So, we should try to grow more fruits Bangladesh. At present, our Government has taken various steps to grow more fruits in all the district of Bangladesh. Fruits are useful in many ways. Fruits meet up our demands for different vitamins. Many families in Bangladesh earn a lot by growing and selling different kinds of fruits. Fruits grow largely in Bangladesh, but many fruits are rotten for want of proper care. So, our Government should take care of this matter.

The name of my hometown is Kishoreganj. It is a district headquarters and is only 145 kilometers north-east of Dhaka.

The time when we are free from our regular work is called leisure time. We spend our leisure time in different ways.Leisure activities vary from person to person, place to place and time to time. The leisure activities in the town and village are not same. In the village, children spend their leisure time by playing football, cricket, Ha-du-du. They also play hide and seek. Many spend their leisure by Swimming in the river or pond. In the town area, there is no open field. So, children cannot play in the field. They spend their leisure time drawing and painting and reading story books. The most common leisure activity in the town is watching TV. Playing computer is also common here. Leisure activities are good for our physical and mental health. It develops our health. It also refreshes our mind. It is very necessary for the students. So, we should make the best use of our leisure time.

The food pyramid is a chart. It shows the different groups of foods. This chart also tells us how much of each group of food we should eat.The first group is the base or the bottom of the pyramid. There are bread, cereals, noodles, potatoes etc. in this group. We should eat plenty of these foods. The next group shows the foods which we should eat regularly. There are fresh fruits and vegetables in this group. As we go up the pyramid, we find dairy products (milk, cheese, and yoghurt), meat, fish, beans, nuts and eggs. These foods are important for health, but we do not need too much of them. So, we should eat them moderately. There are some foods which we should eat very little. These foods are at the top of the food pyramids. These foods are fats, oils, sweets, etc. Foods are very important for our life. All types of foods are not equally necessary for us. So, we should follow the food pyramid for a good health.
