Dialogue writing for SSC examination, Dialogue writing for HSC examination, Dialogue Writing, Dialoues, Important Dialogues Dialogue Writing A Dialogue literally means "talk between two people". Dialogue-writing should introduce students to the colloquial way of talking English, and train him to express his thoughts in easy and natural constructions. The spoken English of the Bangladeshi school-boy is too often rather stilted and bookish, owing to the fact that he has not much chance of talking with English people; and anything that will help him to acquire naturalness and ease in speaking in English is of value. Points to remember To write a dialogue successfully, calls for a little dramatic power; for the writer has not only to see both sides of a question, but has also to put himself, so to speak, inside two imaginary persons so as to make them express their opposite opinions naturally and in keeping with their characters. He has in turn to be each one, and see the point of view of each on the question. A written dialogue should be so composed that it appears to be spontaneous or impromptu. The reader of it should not feel that it is premeditated, stilted and dull. At the same time, careful preparation is necessary for writing a dialogue, though this must not appear. The writer must have the art to conceal his art. It is always advisable to make a plan or outline of the dialogue before beginning to write; otherwise, the dialogue may be rambling and pointless. How to Write Dialogue 1. Carefully think over the subject given, and jot down briefly the arguments or opinions about it which might reasonably be expressed by the imaginary persons who are supposed to be talking. 2. Arrange these ideas in some logical order, so that one will arise naturally from another in the course of the conversation. (It is well to write down these points in the form of an outline, or numbered heads, as a guide to follow in writing the dialogue.) 3. Try to imagine what would be the way in which each character in the dialogue would express his views. To do this, you must have in your mind a clear idea of the imaginary persons taking part in the conversation, so as to make them speak in character. 4. Keep in mind that your dialogue, when completed, should read like a real, spontaneous conversation. So try to make your imaginary characters talk in an easy, familiar and natural manner. Avoid stilted and bookish phrases. Try to remember how real people talk in friendly conversation, and reproduce that conversational style as well as you can. Things to be Careful about (a) Don't let any of your characters monopolize the conversation, as if he were giving a public lecture. Give all a chance, and keep the ball rolling. Let the conversation be brisk and rapid. (b) In real conversation, one person sometimes interrupts the other, or breaks in on what he is saying. A sparing use of such interruptions in written dialogue is quite permissible, and adds to its naturalness. For example :- A -- "I am perfectly certain he would never do such thing. Why, only the other day he told me --" B -- "I don't care what he told you ! I know for a fact that he did it." (c) In real conversation, a speaker often answers a question by asking another; or sometimes, seeing what is coming, he answers a question before it is asked. You may enliven your dialogue by making your characters do the same now and then. For example :- (i) A -- "What will you do if he does not answer your letter?" B -- "Well, what would you do?" (ii) D -- "I heard something about you the other day, John." J -- "I know ! You are going to ask me why I was absent from office last Monday. We]], I will tell you--etc." (d) In real conversation, people often use exclamations, surprise (e.g., "My word !" "Good heavens !" "You don't say so !" "Well" etc.); irritation (e.g., "Bother V "O dear !" "Confound it'."); pleasure ("How nice !" "Splendid !")-and so on. Such interjections may be introduced from time to time, sparingly; but the use of them should not be overdone. (Note.-Slang and profane words should be avoided). 2. The dialogue should begin in an interesting way, so that the reader's attention may be arrested from the very first. And the conversation should lead up to some definite conclusion. It should not end abruptly and in the air, so to speak. Special attention should be paid to the opening sentences and the conclusion. © Copyright Dialogue Collection A dialogue between two friends about merits and demerits of mobile phone Shafiq: You seem very glad today. What’s the reason? Rafiq: Actually my father bought me a new mobile phone yesterday. Here it is. Shafiq: Nice, very nice. What do you think about mobile phone? Rafiq: Mobile phone is a very essential device. It has made our communication easy. It adds speed in our life. We can take photo; video and we can enjoy music from a mobile. Shafiq: Recently introduced android and windows phone work like computers. Rafiq: Yes. By using it, we can send e-mail and make video call. It has made our life easy and comfortable. Shafiq: Right. It has reduced uncertainly doubt, anxious waiting and painful suspense. In fact, it has made our life easy and comfortable. Rafiq: I can’t do without it for a single day Shafiq: Yes, you’re right. But there’re some demerits of mobile. Rafiq: What are you talking about? Shafiq: Now a day mobile has become an easy way of teasing girl. Some people commit crime using mobile. Rafiq: Not these are only. Much use of mobile is harmful for health. It harms our hearing power, causes brain tumor, genetic damage and many other incurable diseases. Shafiq: During conversation, the blood brain barrier may get damaged, the blood pressure may get high and the red blood cells may get affected. Rafiq: Even some students cannot concentrate in study because they talk over mobile the whole night. Shafiq: Besides, it causes a lot of harm to the teenagers. They can easily contact with their so called lovers in season and out of season. Rafiq: This point is also correct. Because the operators provide facilities at night. Shafiq: But it is not the fault of mobile. It is our fault. Rafiq: Of course. Though we are getting immense benefits from it, we should use it with care and caution to avoid its demerits. Shafiq: I’ve to go now. It’s time for my private tutor. Rafiq: Ok. See you later. Bye. Shafiq: Bye. A dialogue about how to learn English well. Amin : Hi Shakib! What’s the matter?

Amin: You should read English books and newspapers, you should watch English movie and news on TV and the radio and above all, you should write your thought in English. Shakib: Has there any fixed skill to develop English? What is most essential for me now? Amin: It is practice and practice. You should talk to your friends in English.

Amin: Sure, you’ve to learn word, number, gender, sentence, tense, sentence patterns and others. Shakib: Why do we need to read grammar?

Amin: You can watch BBC, CNN, National Geographic Channel or English news on television to develop your pronunciation skill. Shakib: What should be the best process of writing skills?

Rani: I’m fine and what about you? Rana: I’m also quite fine. Did you enjoy the cricket match yesterday between Bangladesh and India? Rani: Certainly. It’s the first time that Bangladesh defeated India in a befitting manner. I’m lucky that I enjoyed the match live. Rana: What’s your impression about the match? Rani: I was deeply impressed by the performance of Bangladeshi players particularly Sakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal. Rana: Actually it was a great surprize that we successfully beat the Ex-World Champion. Rani: India is undoubtedly better in the three sides- bowling, batting and fielding than ours. And it’s interesting that we could dominate them in the three sides. Rana: It’s true that the performance showed by the Bangladeshi players was awesome in a word. They played like a top class team. Rani: In fact, India failed to get high score and it was a very easy target for our team. Rana: But our team is so unpredictable that we couldn’t be surprized if they couldn’t have achieved that. Rani: It’s a great achievement for our country. Let’s hope they keep playing like this in future too. Rana: I think Bangladesh will shine in next matches and will bring name and fame for the country. Rani: Of course. Our hope is not unreasonable. Rana: Yes, indeed. Thank you very much and let’s wait for the next match. Rani: You’re most welcome. Rana: Now I’m going to my house. Goodbye. Rani: Goodbye. Thank you. A dialogue about the problem of load-shedding Sumi: Why do you look drowsy? Rumi: I couldn’t sleep well last night. Sumi: In fact, we’re facing the same problem—that’s load shedding. There was no electricity in our locality last night. Rumi: The insufficient production of electricity, misuse and illegal connection of electricity are the main reasons of it. Sumi: Yes, we’ve no option but to live with pitch-black darkness and sweltering heat. Rumi: Exactly! But can you imagine what type of problem it creates to a student whose exam is knocking at the door and the patients who are under the knife of a surgeon? Sumi: The terrible sufferings caused to the examinees and patients cannot be described in words at this moment. Rumi: Last night I couldn’t read at all. You know tomorrow is my English exam. Sumi: Besides, the foods we preserve in refrigerators turn rotten and become unfit for consumption. Housewives are suffering much. Rumi: But the more deplorable damage occurs in refrigerators in laboratories and cold storage. It causes a heavy economic loss. Sumi: The running productive machines come to a standstill in mills and factories. A tremendous loss of production! Rumi: Problems are everywhere. What is the solution? Sumi: The government should take necessary measures on emergency basis to ensure adequate production of electricity to remove the curse of load shedding. Rumi: I think that more power plants should be set up and system loss should be reduced. Sumi: Not only that, illegal connections should be banned. I think that consciousness can play a vital role in this regard. Rumi: The wastage of electricity should be stopped and strict laws should be introduced. Sumi: Electricity being the driving force of a country, it should be ensured at any cost. Rumi: Lack of electricity means lack of production and hampering the study of the students is very harmful for a country. Sumi: Thanks for sharing your valuable ideas. Rumi: You’re most welcome. See you again. A dialogue about the bad effect of smoking Rana: What about you? You aren’t going to school for a few days. Rumi: Just wait. Let me buy a cigarette from that shop. Rana: What!

Rana: But it may cause you serious diseases like cancer, heart attack, bronchitis etc. It also damages your lung and causes lung cancer. Rumi: I tried to give it up, but I could not. I cannot even concentrate on my study without smoking. Rana : If you had thought seriously about its bad effect, you would not have taken it anymore. Rumi: That’s heard, friend but nobody dies from smoking. Rana: According to WHO, 5 million people die every year from tobacco related illness. That is about one person is dying in every 6 second. Smokers are likely to die at least 10 years earlier than the non-smokers. Rumi: I never thought so much about the dangerous effect of smoking. I just started to smoke out of curiosity. Rana: And this curiosity is spoiling your character and gradually leading you to death. Rumi: I promise I’ll give up smoking from this very day. You have saved me from a great danger. Rana: Never indulge such a bad habit rather you should persuade people not to smoke. Rumi: Thank you very much for you valuable advice. Rana: You’re most welcome. I’ve to go now. Rumi: Ok bye.

Nora: Punctuality is a great virtue and it helps to breed all other virtues. Neela: In fact, punctuality’s the quality of doing things at the right time. Its importance’s very great. Nora: A punctual boy prepares his lessons timely and he never lags behind the class. Neela: When the exam comes, he finds himself well prepared. Nora: On the contrary, an unpunctual boy attends his school late and misses a part of his lesson. Neela: Besides he doesn’t learn his lessons at the right time. Nora: When the exam comes, he finds a huge load of arrear lessons. Neela: He can’t prepare himself and fails or he adopts copying which is very bad. Nora: Right you are. Neel: So he can make little progress in his studies and in the long run he has to repent of his bad habit. Nora: Exactly, we’ve to realise that punctuality is important in every sphere of life. Neela: If a man who is to address a public meeting comes late, he keeps so many people waiting and wastes their time. Nora: In fact, no excuse’s good enough for this want of good sense. Neela: Moreover, unpunctual attendance in an office or a workshop causes disorder and sometimes dislocation of work. Nora: This may give rise to a lot of harm and cause even disaster. Neela: Correct, lack of punctuality hampers orderly progress. You know, Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo, because one of his generals failed to come to his help in time. Nora: So we should maintain punctuality at every step. Neela: We should make it clear to our friends about its importance. Nora: I thank you very much, Neela. Neela: You’re welcome. See you.

Have you seen the recent raid of mobile courts on food production houses? Nitu: Yes, I think the mobile court is doing the right task to stop food adulteration. Raha: Exactly! The adulteration of food is increasing beyond any limit. They are using chemicals to preserve food. Nitu: Yes, and these chemicals are mainly used for industrial purposes. These chemicals can cause kidney damage, heart failure and various other diseases. Raha: Yes, and it seems to me that the unscrupulous traders of our country don’t care even to kill innocent people to earn extra profit. Nitu: You’re right. However, this is not the only case of food adulteration of adult people. They are also mixing chemicals with baby foods. Raha: Oh, my God! I see the situation is very terrible! They have become so heartless that they don’t even care about babies. Nitu: Yes, nowadays fishes are adulterated with formalin, fruits are adulterated with carbide and edible oils are adulterated with cyanide. Raha: But why these traders are adopting such malpractices in spite of knowing the worst consequences of massive food adulteration? Nitu: It’s very simple. They are dishonest and they can do everything for money. Raha: They are very nasty and they have no moral character. They are enemies to humanity. However, this crime must be stopped at any cost. Nitu: And we’re helpless at the point of their clutch. Raha: You’re mostly right. Our government is taking steps time to time but they are producing no result. Isn’t there any light of hope? Nitu: Yes, there is. It is we who should be careful to choosing right foods as far as possible. The criminals have to be punished by law. Raha: Your valuable words may make me wise. Nitu: Absolutely! You’re most welcome. See you again. Dialogue between two friends on how to make good result in examination Raha: Why do you look so dejected? Anything wrong? Nusa: Nothing wrong, friend.

Sumon: What is the matter? Rakib: The matter is about the weakness of the students in English. Sumon: Why are you thinking about this matter? Rakib: You know that thousands of students fail in this subject every year. Sumon: You have said right. I think that these students have never thought this subject to be their friend. The unpleasant truth is that they consider this subject as their enemy. What do you think? Rakib: Right you are? I think that they even do not know that this language can be learnt and spoken. They only know how to memorize. Sumon: Exactly so. When they see any uncommon question in the exam, they become senseless, perplexed and finally blame their lot. Rakib: By suggesting them to memorize, a lot many teachers and lecturers are misleading misguiding them. Do you know any solution to this?

Rakib: I think that they should speak English, read English newspaper and listen to English news. Sumon: I think that if speaking English is compulsory, they will be able to learn this language. Otherwise, they will be failing in this subject ironically. Rakib: Thanks for sharing your valuable thinking. Sumon: Thank you too. A dialogue about importance of time Nora: I’m very glad that you are in time and have kept your promise. Neela: As I’m punctual, I always try to maintain time. Nora: Punctuality is a great virtue and it helps to breed all other virtues. Neela: In fact, punctuality’s the quality of doing things at the right time. Its importance’s very great. Nora: A punctual boy prepares his lessons timely and he never lags behind the class. Neela: When the exam comes, he finds himself well prepared. Nora: On the contrary, an unpunctual boy attends his school late and misses a part of his lesson. Neela: Besides he does not learn his lessons at the right time. Nora: When the exam comes, he finds a huge load of arrear lessons. Neela: He can’t prepare himself and fails or he adopts copying which is very bad. Nora: Right you are. Neela: So he can make little progress in his studies and in the long run he has to repent of his bad habit. Nora: Exactly, we’ve to realise that punctuality is important in every sphere of life. Neela: If a man who is to address a public meeting comes late, he keeps so many people waiting and wastes their time. Nora: In fact, no excuse’s good enough for this want of good sense. Neela: Moreover, unpunctual attendance in an office or a workshop causes disorder and sometimes dislocation of work. Nora: This may give rise to a lot of harm and cause even disaster. Neela: Correct, lack of punctuality hampers orderly progress. You know, Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo, because one of his generals failed to come to his help in time. Nora: So we should maintain punctuality at every step. Neela: We should make it clear to our friends about its importance. Nora: Thank you very much Neela. Neela: You’re welcome. See you.

Mina: But villages are the producer of food. Rina: Village environment is fresh but if you are ill, you will have to go to town to meet doctor. Mina: It’s true. But, environment of village will keep you fit. Rina: Can you deny the advantages of modernism? Mina: I don’t mean that. I just want to say that village life is much better than city life. Rina: What are your other points? Mina: People of city are much busy and almost emotionless. Day by day they are becoming much disintegrated. Rina: City people possess all educational institution and administration. Rina: Yes, but how can we improve the village? Mina: Educated men should go and mix with the people of the village, and spread education among them and teach them how to raise their standard of life. Beside, Government should ensure all the amenities of the town. Rina: Now I understand why you go to your native village during every long vacation. Mina: Actually both of them have some advantages and disadvantages. Rina: Exactly, but village life is better to live a healthy life. Mina: Thank you very much for your nice company.

Myself: Fine. How are your online classes going on? Siam: Quite good. It has been a different experience for us, isn’t it? Myself: Certainly. What are your views about it? Siam: I feel there are always two sides of a coin. However, it’s lots to offer. Myself: I don’t really like the concept of online classes though. Siam: I think the teachers are doing a commendable job trying to put up virtual classes so that we don’t miss things out. Myself: I agree but such classes require active learning, either we concentrate or we’re lost. Siam: Just look at the list of advantages that it has. It’s convenient, flexible, provides more individual attention, and also makes us more independent and self-disciplined. Myself: I don’t agree with the last point. There’s no clue as to what a student is doing, maybe he’s busy with other stuff. Siam: That’s how it makes the students more independent and they are self-directed. Myself: Maybe it’s too early to comment on it. Let’s see what it’s to offer in the future. Siam: Yes, my online classes are also going on but it does not make me much busy. Myself: But there are so much homework that it takes the whole day to complete. Siam: No, it doesn’t take the whole you just solve it during the period when there’s nothing going on, and it’ll be much easier for you. Myself: Yes, you’re right. I’ll follow it thank you. Bye Siam: Bye and have a nice day.

Variety of Sentence Stucture Sentence Openers Some Samples of Writing Transformation Question These days, it seems that an increasing number of people are leaving rural areas to live in the city. Discuss some of the effects of rural depopulation (migration from the country to the city ) and suggest some ways on which this trend could be reversed. Model answer for achieving around 50% marks Rural depopulation is a very important issue in many parts of the world today. In this essay, I will discuss some of the main effects of this problem and also offer some possible solutions to it. Firstly, it is clear that migration away from the country negatively affects life in the city. Serious environmental and social problems often occur when cities become overcrowded. Problems such as air, water and noise pollution are increasing common in urban areas around the world because there are simply too many people living there. Pollution can make city life very uncomfortable indeed and can even cause illness. Beijing is a very good example of this. Overcrowding in cities can also lead high unemployment (especially in poorer parts of the world) and crime. In order to prevent people from moving away from the country and reduce the size of cities, I feel we make country life more attractive. In my view, the best way of doing this would be to improve services in the country. One of the main reasons that so many people have left the country is that facilities like shopping centres, cinemas, swimming pools, restaurants, libraries, schools and hospitals are generally batter in the city. If such facilities were available in the country, more people would choose to live there. Another effective solution would be for the government to subsidies businesses and workers who move the country. In conclusion, I believe we must all recognise how serious this problem is. For the sake of the environment and our own quality of life it is vital that we preserve rural communities. Model answer for achieving 80% marks While country towns were once vibrant and growing places, these days many appear to be dying as people move to the city in search of work and excitement. In this essay, I intend to discuss the impact of this problem as well as how more people could be encouraged to live in the rural areas. Surprisingly, the most serious consequences of rural depopulation are often felt in urban areas. As a result of overcrowding, cities throughout the word today are increasing prone to environment problems like air, water and noise pollution. Beijing is a particularly good example of this. Further, the uncontrolled growth of cities also gives rise to social problems such as high unemployment, crime and in less affluent countries, the creation of slums. Clearly, there is a limit to how many people can live in one area before living standards are negatively influenced. In order to stem the tide of rural depopulation, I believe we must first address its root causes. At the heart of the matter is the disparity between services and facilities in the country and those in the city. I firmly believe that urban and rural dwellers alike would find the idea of country life far more appealing if high quality shopping centres, cinemas, swimming pools, restaurants, libraries, schools and hospitals were more readily available in the country. One further method of attracting people to the country would be for government to provide financial incentives to business and professional workers who willingly relocate to rural areas. In reality, this problem is unlikely to be resolved in the short term. However, it is by no means insurmountable, and I am convinced that more people will choose the country as city life becomes less comfortable and more expensive. Story Writing The Mouse and the New Cat Basic English A mouse lives under the floorboards of an old house. A family moves in. The Mouse is upset to find the family owns a Cat. The Mouse considers moving to a new place. As he does so, the Cat starts speaking to him. The Cat tells the Mouse that he has no interest in him. He says that his owners feed him very well. Catching the Mouse is too much trouble. If the Mouse stays out of trouble, there will be no problems. The Mouse replies very politely. But because he is cautious, the Mouse sneaks under the floorboards and spies on the Cat. He sees the Cat sharpening his claws. The Cat has a deadly look in his eyes. When the Mouse sees this, he packs up his things to leave. The Mouse tells himself that the Cat may say anything, but this sight says a whole lot more. Intermediate English The Mouse and the New Cat There was a mouse who lived under the floorboards of an old house. When a family moved in, the mouse was concerned to learn they owned a Cat. He was considering moving to a new place, when the Cat appeared near his mousehole and started speaking to him. The Cat told the Mouse that he had no interest in trying to catch him. His owners fed him well enough, and he was too old to be chasing a mouse around. If the Mouse would just stay out of trouble, the Cat explained, they would have no problems. The Mouse politely thanked the Cat for his kind words. But because he was cautious, the Mouse snuck under the floorboards in the kitchen to spy on the Cat a little. While he was there, he saw the Cat sharpening his claws with a deadly look in his eyes. As soon as he saw this, the Mouse started packing his things. The Cat might say anything, the Mouse told himself, but what he just saw said a whole lot more. Advanced English The Mouse and the New Cat There once was a Mouse living under the floorboards of an old house. A family moved in, and the Mouse was chagrined to discover they had a Cat with them. The Mouse was mulling over the idea of moving to a new place when the Cat poked his head near the mousehole and started speaking to him. “I can smell you in there, little mouse,” the Cat told him, “and let me assure you I have no interest in you at all. I’m getting on in years, and my owners feed me so well that catching you would be more trouble than you’re worth. Just keep yourself out of the way down there and we’ll get along famously.” “Very well,” the Mouse replied courteously. But the Mouse was a cautious fellow, and he snuck under one of the floorboards in the kitchen where he could spy on the Cat through a little hole that he had made. Sure enough, he found the Cat carefully sharpening his claws with a murderous glint in his eyes. As soon as the Mouse saw this, he started packing his things to leave. “Let him say what he will,” the Mouse said to himself, “but what I just saw said a whole lot more!” Moral: Actions speak louder than words. The Two Hunters Basic English Two hunters are out looking for quail one day. One of them finds one and chases after it. It flies into a thick bush near a pond. He finds a second quail, but it also flies into the bush. He sits by the bush and waits. Sooner or later the birds have to leave their hiding place. An hour later, his friend comes by and finds him waiting there. The friend has a caught bird and shows it to him. The first hunter says he has two birds. He points to the bush and explains he will get the birds when they try to fly out. The friend offers to take a look in the bush. When they do, they do not find any birds. Instead, there is only a space where the two birds used to be. Intermediate English Two hunters were out looking for quail one day. The first hunter found one and chased after it, but it flew into a thick bush by a pond. Then he found a second quail, but it also flew into the bush. He sat by the bush and waited for a while. He thought to himself that sooner or later the birds would leave their hiding place and he could catch them. An hour or so later, the hunter’s friend came by and found him waiting. The friend showed the quail he’d caught and asked how the first hunter was doing. The first hunter said he’d caught two birds. He pointed to the bush and explained how he would catch them when they tried to fly out. The friend suggested they take a look inside to see whether the two birds were still in the bush. But when they did, they found no birds. They only found the place where the birds had hopped through the bush and flown off. Advanced English Two hunters were out trying to bag quail one day. The first hunter found one and chased after it, only to have it fly into a thick bush by a pond. Soon afterward he found a second quail, but it too fled into the bush. He sat by the bush for a while thinking that sooner or later the birds would have to leave, and he’d get them when they did. An hour or so later, the hunter’s friend came by and found him still waiting there for the birds. “I’ve bagged a good one,” the friend said, holding up a plump quail he’d caught, “How about you?” “I’ve got two,” the first hunter said. “Where?” his friend asked, looking around. “Right over there in that bush. I drove them in there a couple hours ago, and it’s just a matter of time before I get them both when they try to get away.” “Oh, you think you’ve got them both, do you?” the friend taunted him. “Let’s take a look.” When they checked the bush, however, they found nothing but a little space in the back where the two quails had long since hopped through the bush and flown away. Moral: A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

E.g. : Amsterdam, Anita, Blackberry, Honesty, Waiter, etc. The names given to a group of noun to identify them as a whole are called Collective Nouns. E.g.: pride of lions, gaggle of geese etc. Nouns or pronouns can also modify themselves to show possession of another noun, usually by attaching‘s to the end of the noun. These nouns that show possession are called Possessive Nouns. Sometimes nouns have different forms for different genders, although this practice has been largely abandoned by the people who prefer to use the same noun for both genders. For example - Actor (male) - Actress (female), but people nowadays refer to women who act as female actors rather than actresses. Most nouns can be converted into plural forms by adding ‘-s’ or ‘-es’ at the end of the word. E.g.: box-boxes, cat-cats, echo-echoes , etc. But some nouns require the last consonant to be modified before adding ‘-es’. For e.g.: the ‘Y’ in ‘city’ changes to ‘I’ to form cities, kitty to kitties and ‘f’ to ‘v’ in dwarf to dwarves, wharf to wharves, etc. Some nouns become plurals irregularly by changing the entire word: mouse- mice, ox - oxen, etc. You can learn more about Plurals here: How to make Plurals : Making Plurals-Easy Guide Grammarians have divided nouns into different categories based on their use and purpose. Learning these divisions within the nouns will help in sentence construction and vocabulary. The different types of Nouns are - PROPER NOUNS These nouns are the names of specific people and places. These nouns also refer to the names of the days of weeks and months, and also the various names for religions, organizations, institutions, etc. Proper nouns basically refer to the names that are specific to that particular noun. These nouns are always capitalised as they need to be distinct from other nouns. William Shakespeare was a playwright. - Proper noun that is the name of a specific person. I will be visiting New York next month. - Proper noun that is the name of a specific place. Everyone dislikes Monday mornings. - The names of days are proper nouns. The holy book of Islam is the Koran. - Name of a religion and religious text. COMMON NOUNS These are the nouns that are used to denote a general category of people, places or things. They are capitalized only when they are at the beginning of a sentence. Common Nouns don’t refer to something specific rather they are a general term used for every noun of a particular kind or type. The boys went to play cricket. - Both boys and cricket are common nouns as they can refer to any boy or any cricket match. There is nothing specified by these nouns. This neighbourhood is one of the best in the area. - Here neighbourhood is the common noun as there are innumerable neighbourhoods all over the world. She was trying to answer her phone while buying coffee. - Here we see phone and coffee that both are general indicators of the object and the drink. ABSTRACT NOUNS These nouns are the names of things that we cannot perceive through our five senses of touching, smelling, seeing, hearing and tasting. These nouns can also refer to medical conditions related to the mind and are also used to express thoughts. She screamed with great delight. - Delight is an abstract noun as it tells about the state of a person’s mind and any actual physical thing. His bravery in the war won him a medal. - The abstract noun bravery is used to name the motivation behind certain actions made by people. One should learn to be as independent as possible. – Here, independent describes a state or a way of being, hence it is an abstract noun. COUNTABLE NOUNS The nouns that fall under this category are the ones that have both singular and plural forms. They can be counted either relatively or completely, and form plurals to associate with plural verbs in a sentence. They can also be expressed in numerical terms I need to buy four new suitcases for my trip. - Suitcase (s) is a countable noun as adding ‘s’ to it makes it plural. Does anyone want some oranges? - Here some is being used to count the noun orange(s). She had a pet dog. - Dog is also a countable noun as its plural is dogs. UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS These nouns are the exact opposite of Countable Nouns. These nouns are the names of things that cannot be counted and have only a singular form. These nouns use singular verbs in a sentence. The furniture was damaged in moving out. - Furniture is an uncountable noun and therefore, we use the singular ‘was’ in referring to it. Is 250gms of sugar enough? - Here, sugar is an uncountable noun as sugar itself cannot be counted. It can only be weighed. He always answers questions with honesty. - Honesty is an uncountable noun as it has no plural and cannot be counted in physical terms either.

The most common method of doing this is by using words like group or bunch that can be applicable to most of the nouns in the language today. But there are some specific names given for certain groups of nouns to make things more interesting and funny. Now, these collective nouns are not based in scientific thought or fact. Most of them come from the poetry and imagination of early to late Medieval English times e.g. - an eloquence of lawyers – Eloquence itself is defined as fine persuasion in speaking or writing, so this particular collective noun is a comment on the profession of lawyers while being their collective noun as well. The same goes for the collective nouns we find for animals; the names arose from 15th century French and English hunting traditions, where hunting was common and names and terms were given to all aspects of the sport. These names were called Terms of Venery and it had become a tradition of the court to keep extending the list and by the 1500s the list was up-to 165 items long. Here we have listed some of the more commonly used collective nouns for humans, animals and objects. These collective nouns are commonly used under the category of people. A class of students. An army of soldiers. A choir of singers. A crew of sailors. A band of musicians. A bunch of crooks. A crowd of people/spectators. A gang of thieves. A group of dancers. A team of players. A troupe of artists/dancers. A pack of thieves. A staff of employees. A regiment of soldiers. A tribe of natives. An audience of listeners. A panel of experts. A gang of labourers. A flock of tourists. A board of directors. Collective Nouns Exercise 1 Collective Nouns Exercise 2 The following collective nouns are used for animals. A catch of fish. An army of ants. A flight of birds. A flock of birds. A haul of fish. A flock of sheep. A herd of deer/cattle/elephants/goats/buffaloes. A hive of bees. A litter of cubs. A host of sparrows. A team of horses. A troop of lions. A zoo of wild animals. A pack of wolves. A litter of puppies/kittens. A swarm of bees/ants/rats/flies. A team of horses/ducks/oxen. A murder of crows. A kennel of dogs. A pack of hounds. The following collective nouns are used for things. A group of islands. A galaxy of stars. A wad of notes. A forest of trees. A stack of wood. A fleet of ships. A string of pearls. An album of stamps/autographs/photographs. A hedge of bushes. A library of books. A basket of fruit. A bowl of rice. A pack of cards. A pair of shoes. A bouquet of flowers. A bunch of keys. A chest of drawers. A pack of lies. A range of mountains. A cloud of dust. Collective nouns are endless and these are just a list of those used more often. As you continue to work on improving your English, you will stumble across many more. Be sure to add them to your list and use them as frequently as you can. Using Nouns to Show Possession Possessive nouns are those nouns that show possession. Possessive Nouns are used to show ownership. A noun is possessive only when a phrase can be modified to say that an idea or commodity belongs to something or someone. Possessive nouns are an integral part of learning English, use them as often as you can to gain confidence. In the singular form, the possessive case is formed by adding 's to the noun. The clothes of the girl. The girl’s clothes. The toys of the boy. The boy’s toys. Mary goes to this school. This is Mary’s school. King’s castle, grandfather’s stick, my dog’s bowl and all of the above are formed by adding the 's. Modify the following sentences by using the apostrophe (') to show possession: The king’s servants. The computer’s cover. My phone’s charger. The servants of the king. Cover of the computer. The charger of my phone. For certain words, instead of 's, only ' is used to avoid a hissing noise. Keep this is mind when using possessive nouns. Some examples would be: Boss’ office. Dr.Briuss’ house. For goodness’ sake. There are two rules to follow in case the noun is in plural form. If the noun ends in s then the possessive case is formed by adding the apostrophe E.g. the donkeys’ tail, the boys’ hostel, the cousins’ aunt. If the noun does not end in s then the possessive case is formed by adding 's. E.g. the children’s park, the men’s room. It’s simple as long as you know the plural form of the noun. The plural form of ‘god’ will be ‘gods’ and so the apostrophe will be used after 's' (gods’). In case of nouns like ‘woman’, the plural form is ‘women’ and so the apostrophe followed by 's' will be used (women’s). Add the apostrophe in the following sentences. Our cousins short uncle. (Apostrophe can be before or after 's') Businessmens briefcase. (Businessmen’s) The ladies washroom. (Ladies’) Here are some more examples to show you other possible cases. Alex and Philip’s shop. (Two nouns are used closely and showing joint possession; here, the apostrophe will be used with the second noun) Shakespeare’s and Wordsworth’s works. (Two nouns are used together yet separate possession is implied thus the apostrophe is used with both nouns) Nouns as Adjective Sometimes in the English language, a noun is used to describe another noun; in other words, the first noun performs the function of an adjective. Look at the following examples: Basketball coach – here the noun basketball is being used to describe the noun coach Garment shop – here the noun garment is being used to describe the noun shop Painting exhibition – here the noun painting is being used to describe the noun exhibition In all the above examples, the first noun acts as an adjective. Rules related to Nouns as Adjective 1. The ‘nouns as adjective’ always come first or before the second or main noun. Let’s see a few more examples: A cricket bat A soccer ball A car race A love story 2. In general, like adjectives, nouns being used as adjectives are used in the singular form, although in the case of certain words, like clothes, customs, sports, etc, an exception is made. For example: Bathroom or bathrooms, and not bathsroom or bathsrooms Badminton racket or badminton rackets, and not badmintons racket or badmintons rackets In short, the plural form will always appear on the second noun only. Some nouns are always written or spoken in the plural forms, but we generally treat them as a singular form. For example: A billiards player A news editor Some nouns are always treated in the plural forms when used as an adjective. For example: Sports museum Clothes outlet Accounts manager 3. Multiple nouns can also be used as adjectives. For example: School cricket team coach Motor production cost Child health care research centre 4. We can also use a true adjective before nouns as adjective. For example:: Famous Indian cricket player Cute coffee mug Delectable Chinese cuisine Honest school teacher Increasing air pollution

CHATTOGRAM BOARD ― 2017 ENGLISH (COMPULSORY) FIRST PAPER Read the passage and answer the questions A and B. The term ‘diaspora' is used to refer to people who have left their home lands and settled in other parts of the world, either because they were forced to do so or because they wanted to leave on their own.

Among the great diasporas of history is that of the Jewish people, who were forced to leave their lands in ancient times.

In twentieth century history, the Palestinian diaspora has attracted a lot of attention and been a cause of concern for world leaders because of the plight of Palestinians.

DINAJPUR BOARD ― 2017 ENGLISH (COMPULSORY) FIRST PAPER 1. Read the following text and answer the questions A and B. Adolescents constitute a nation's core resource for national renewal and growth. Adolescence is a period in life when transition from childhood to adulthood takes place and behaviours and lifestyles are shaped. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adolescence is the period which shapes the future of million adolescents in Bangladesh; 13.7 million of them are girls and 14.3 millions boys. The situation of adolescent girls in Bangladesh is characterised by inequality and subordination within the family and society. This inequality leads to widespread practice of child marriage, marginalisation or exclusion from health, education and economic opportunities, and vulnerability to violence and sexual abuse. In Bangladesh, the legal age of marriage is 18 for girls and 21 for boys. However, 33 percent of adolescent girls are married before the age of 15 and 60 percent become mothers by the age of 19. Research finds that adolescents with higher level of education and from more affluent families tend to marry at a later age. Boys, however, become ready for marriage only after several years of adolescence and young adulthood. A.

But are the rivers in good shape? Unfortunately, they are not. A fer are already dead and several are going through the pangs of death. The river Buriganga is an example of a dying river. A report published in the Daily Sun describes what has happened to the river Buriganga and why. Its water is polluted and a perpetual strench fills the air around it. But that is not what it was like before. The report says that the river has a glorious past. Once it was a tributary of the mighty Ganges and flowed into the Bay of Bengal through the river Dhaleswari. Gradually, it lost its link with the Ganges and got the name Buriganga. The Mughals marveled at the tide level of the Buriganga and founded their capital Jahangirnagar on its banks in 1610. The river supplied drinking water and supported trade and commerce. Jahangirnagar was renamed Dhaka which grew into a heavily populated city with a chronic shortage of space. The city paid back the bounty of the river by sucking life out of it! According to newspaper report, the Buriganga is dying because of pollution. Huge quantities of toxic chemicals and wastes from mills and factories, hospitals and clinics and households and other establishments are dumped into the river everyday. The city of Dhaka discharges about 4500 tons of solid waste everyday and most of it is directly released into the Buriganga. According to the department of the Environment (DoE) 20,000 tons of tannery waste, including some highly toxic materials are released into the river everyday. Experts identified nine industrial areas in and around the capital city as the primary sources of river pollution: Tongi, Tejgaon, Hazaribagh, Tarabo, Narayanganj, Savar, Gazipur, Dhaka Export Processing Zone and Ghorashal.
