Read the passage carefully and answer the question following it (1-3)

The word ‘hygiene’ means the practice of keeping ourselves clean. It also means to keep our home and work places
clean. It is important for our good health.

Hygiene is thought to be next to godliness. It is because we cannot achieve anything physically, mentally or
spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind and soul. Nobody likes an unclean person either. So we must follow
the rules of hygiene.

First, we must keep our body clean. We should have a bath every day and wash our hair regularly. This will keep the
body and hair free from dirt and bacteria.

Secondly, we should wash our clothes regularly. Dirty clothes give off bad smell and invite germs. We should wear
socks and shoes when we go out to protect our feet from dust and germs. It is also important to wash our hands
before meals and after using the toilet. We should brush our teeth twice a day, after breakfast and supper. We must
also cut our nails regularly. Our drinking water must be safe. We can get safe water by boiling and filtering.

Finally, we should keep our surroundings and environment clean. If we do and follow all the above things properly,
we will be able to lead a healthy and happy life.

23rd April, 1564 when he was born at Stratford on. This is why he is called the bird of Avon. He wrote 37 plays and
154 Sonnets. They spread fame to his unrivaled knowledge of human nature and the sympathy and understanding

1×10=10                 

A Street Hawker

"A street hawker is a familiar figure in towns, who sells various things while moving from street to street. They
usually live in a hut or slum and are vendors of a variety of goods. They carry their products sometimes on their
heads, sometimes in their hands, and at other times in a small handcart. They sell toys, bangles, ribbons, clothing,
sweets, fruits, utensils, newspapers, fancy goods, and household items by bringing them up to people's doors. They
are clever individuals who know how to run their businesses. They choose different products for children, women,
and men that will attract their respective target markets. Thus, they earn their living by selling different things to
their customers. As they pass along the street, they make a peculiar cry to attract the attention of their customers.
Children gather around them here and there and stop them. The hawkers generally choose an hour when the head of
the household is away, and the women are free from their household duties, hoping thereby to make a good bargain.
In towns everywhere, we see hawkers, and many of them are good businessmen. On the other hand, there is another
kind of hawker who buys newspapers, empty pots, old books, and worn-out clothes from the houses. While children
are fond of street hawkers, men do not usually like them. By carrying the products for sale in their hands or on their
shoulders, they move from door to door. Sometimes, they go from one street to another with their moving shop. A
street hawker's life is not easy and comfortable but rather difficult and full of hardship."

40, Pragati Soroni

Baridhara, Dhaka

10 July 2017
Dear Russel,

"I received your letter yesterday, and you wanted to know about my last visit. I am going to describe my new
experience. Last week, I, along with my family members, went to visit Bagerhat. We left for Bagerhat at 9 pm on 2
July 2014 and reached there the next morning. After having breakfast, we visited the mausoleum of Pir Khan Jahan
Ali, the founder of the city. Then, I saw a large lake next to the mausoleum, where some old and exceptional
crocodiles were found. People were feeding the crocodiles hens and other foods, and the crocodiles were responding
to the people's calls. It was really surprising. After a while, we reached the famous Shatgombuj Mosque, and the
architecture of the mosque charmed me. We left the place in the evening and went to our uncle's house in Khulna.
The next morning, we left for Dhaka.

That's all for today. Please convey my best regards to your parents."

Yours ever,

Masum
