My Favourite Season

There are six seasons in the garland of Bengali year. Every season has its beauty and utility. Among six seasons  I like winter season the most which is called, by many, a dead season. It generally starts from December and lasts up to mid February. This season is characterized by coldness in the weather, fog and mist, dew-drops on the grass, falling of leaves and chilling northern wind. The days remain gloomy as the sun loses its brightness. Generally nights of winter are bigger than the day-time. People use woollens, shawls, rugs, quilt etc. to fight against coldness. I like the season the most because I can enjoy various kinds of vegetables and fruits like cauliflower, cabbages, carrots, peas, oranges, grapes, banana etc. Moreover, the pleasant sun and coldness in weather enable us to enjoy picnics, fairs, book fairs and different games like cricket, badminton etc. Every student like me awaits the season as the greatest festival of students, Saraswati Puja takes place. For all these, this season does not appear dead season to me and moreover I enjoy the season the most as I can lie and sleep under the quilt.

My Hobby

A hobby is an activity, done at a regular basis, especially in our leisure. Almost everyone has his own hobby. A hobby is not only a pastime but also has a utility. I have also a hobby and it is reading books. I grew this interest in this hobby when I was five years old. My father had given me a story book then on my birthday. The completion of the book grows my appetite for reading more books. Books give me pleasure, relaxation and moreover knowledge. By reading books I enrich my vocabulary, grammar, language and imagination. Thus my hobby does not kill my time only. It also helps to better my future.

Television: Its Uses and Abuses

Television is a wonder of science. It is one of the most powerful mass media of modern times. Apart from being an effective medium of communication and entertainment, it influences and shapes our opinion. It gives us direct knowledge of things, places and events of various types. It gives us interesting and important information about things happening in far-off places. But televisions have some bad influences. It makes people idle, particularly students and young people. Some programmes, telecast on the TV, have baneful effects on the tender and young minds. Long hours of watching TV also affects our vision. It makes students neglect their studies and people neglect their duties. Thus TV has its deleterious and beneficial effects, and these depend upon how we use it.
