Hi, I'm Shyam. I'm from Magura. Although it's the district headquarters, it's a small town. I'm in grade I now in Chander Haat Bidyaloya. I love games and sports very much. My father was an athlete in his student life. He inspires me $\to follow in his footsteps and take part in games and sports or do some exercise besides my$ studies. So, I get up early in the morning and take a walk with my father almost every day. We walk for about an hour. At school, during break Fplay kabadi, gollaehhut, badminton, table tennis and carom. Sometimes I practice the high jump and the long jump outside the school campus, Playing-football is a passion for me. I like watching television too. I watch sports programmes on different TV channels during my free time: I'm a fan of National Geographic, Discovery and Animal Planet for their documentaries as they are quite interesting as well as educative. Recently my father has presented me with a camera as he was very happy with the result of my Junior School Certificate exam. (When I hold the camera, I feel so excited! I wish I could be an amateur photographer r$\in in$ future- future-not $\to take only personal photographs at different parties but \to shoot our beautiful$ Bangladesh. I'm sure that soon photography will be my most favourite pastime. Choose the correct answer from the following alternatives : Q.

7.Read the following text carefully. Then answer the questions A: Meherjan lives in a slum on the Sirajgonj Town Protection Embankment. The whispering wind from the river Jamuna makes the fire unsteady. The dancing flames remind Meherjan of the turmoil in her life. Not long ago Meherjan had everything-a family, arable land and cattle. The erosion of the Jamuna gradually consumed all her land properly. It finally claimed her only shelter during the last monsoon. It took the river only a day to devou Meher's house, trees, vegetable garden and the bamboo bush. She had a happy family once. Over the years, she lost her husband and her family to diseases that cruel hunger and poverty brought to the family. Now she is the only one left to live on with the loss and the pain. The greedy Jamuna has shattered her dreams and happiness. There are thousand others waiting to share the same fate like Meherjan. Bangladesh is a land of rivers, some of whose banks overflow or erode during monsoon. Erosion is a harsh reality for the people living along the river banks. During each monsoon many more villages are threatened by the mighty rivers like the Jamuna, the Padma and the Meghna. It is estimated that river crosion makes at least 100,000 people homeless every year in Bangladesh. In fact, river erosion is one of the main dangers caused by climate change. If we can't take prompt. actions to adapt to climate change, there will be thousands of more Meherjans in our towns and villages every year. A. Choose the correct answer from the alternatives : Q.
