1.Read the following text and make a flowchart showing the situation of adolescent girls in
Bangladesh. (One is done for you)
In Bangladesh, the legal age of marriage for girls is 18. However, 33% of our girls get married before they
are 15 and 60% of them become mothers by the time they reach 19. When an adolescent girl gets
married, she usually drops out of school and thus loses her mobility. She gets confined to full-time work in
her in-law’s household. She loses social status and all the opportunities of economic independence.

In her in-law’s house, she gets marginalized. She becomes vulnerable to all sorts of abuse, including
dowry-related violence. In our country, it is still a common practice for the bride’s family to pay dowry.
Dowry demands can continue even after marriage. An adolescent bride, even if her in-laws are
supportive, faces enormous health risk during pregnancy and child birth. Majority of our people are
uninformed or insufficiently informed about contraception and reproductive health. This leads to increased
mortality rates among adolescent brides during childbirth.

2. Read the following text and make a flowchart showing important aspects of craftwork. (One is done
for you)
A craftwork is an applied form of art, a social and cultural product reflecting the inclusive nature of folk
imagination. A craftwork, which usually doesn’t bear the signature of its maker, retains a personal touch.
When we look at a thirty-year old nakshikantha we wonder at its motifs and designs that point to the
artistic ingenuity and the presence of the maker in it. The fact that we don’t know her name or any other
details about her doesn’t take anything away from our appreciation of the artist.

Indeed, the intimate nature of the kantha and the tactile feeling it generates animate the work and make it
very inviting. A craftwork is shaped by the interaction of individual creativity and community aesthetics,
utility functions and human values. It is distinguished by its maker’s desire to locate himself or herself in
the wider and ever-changing cultural aspirations of the community, and subsequently of the market.

3. Read the following text and make a flowchart showing the painful experiences a street child has to
suffer to survive. (One is done for you)
The streets are now my home. Sometimes I find work. I used to collect trash and sell it to a vendor. I
stopped doing that after I had a serious infection and a doctor told me to stay away from the trash dump.
Once I worked for an ice cream shop owner and sold ice cream on the beach. But I got no money in
return. The owner of the shop gave me something to eat, and let me sleep in his hut at night. The work
was difficult and painful. The ice cream box is quite heavy when it is full. I had to walk for hours, offering
my ice cream to whoever wanted to buy. There were days when I could not even sell one ice cream.

4. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the major characteristics of adolescence.
(one is done for you)
The time of adolescence is a period of preparation for adulthood during which one experiences several
key developments. Besides physical and sexual maturation, these experiences include movement toward
social and economic independence, development of identity, the acquisition of skills needed to carry out
adult relationships and roles and the capacity for abstract reasoning. While adolescence is a time of
tremendous growth and potential, it is also a time of considerable risks during which social contexts exert
powerful influences.

Many adolescents face pressure to use alcohol, cigarettes, or other drugs and to initiate sexual
relationships putting themselves at high risk for intentional and unintentional injuries, unintended
pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). Many also experience a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems.

5. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the activities of peace movement. (one is
done for you)
A peace movement is a social movement that seeks to achieve ideals such as the ending of a particular
war (or all wars), minimize inter-human violence in a particular place or type of situation, including ban of
guns, and is often linked to the goal of achieving world peace.

Means to achieve these ends include advocacy of pacifism, non-violent resistance, diplomacy, boycotts,
demonstrations, peace camps; supporting anti-war political candidates and banning guns, creating open
government, direct democracy; supporting people who expose war-crimes or conspiracies to create wars,
and making laws. Different organizations involved in peace movements may have some diverse goals,
but one common goal is sustainability of peace.

 5. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the causes and aspects of conflict. (No. 1 has
been done for you)
Conflict can be described as a disagreement among groups or individuals characterized by antagonism
and hostility. This is usually fueled by the opposition of one party to another in an attempt to reach an
objective different from that of the other party. The elements involved in the conflict have varied sets of
principles and values, thus allowing a conflict to arise. Conflict can be defined in many ways but one of
the simplest is that it pertains to the opposing ideas and actions of different entities, resulting in an
antagonistic state.

Conflict is an inevitable part of life. All of us possess our own opinions, ideas and sets of beliefs. We have
our own ways of looking at things and we act according to what we think is proper. Hence, we often find
ourselves in conflict in different scenarios; it may involve other individuals, groups of people, or a struggle
within our own selves. Consequently, conflict influences our actions and decisions in one way or other.

6. Read the following text and make a flow-chart highlighting the different aspects of socio-cultural
life as reflected in folk music. (No. 1 has been done for you)
In Bangladesh folk music has great variety, with songs being composed on culture, festivals, views of life,
natural beauty, rivers and rural and riverine life. These songs are also about social inequality and poverty,
about the material world and the supernatural. Mystical songs have been composed using the metaphors
of rivers and boats. Since the country is basically riverine, the Bhatiyali forms an important genre of folk
music.

Folk music is formed and develops according to the environment. Differences in the natural environment
are reflected in the people of the different regions. The dialects too vary across the different regions.
Bangladeshi folk music therefore varies from region to region. Thus there are the northern Bhawaiya, the
eastern Bhatiyali and the southwestern Baul songs.

7. Read the following text and make a flow-chart showing the names of some significant diasporas and
causes mentioned in the passage. (No. 1 has been done for you)
The term ‘diaspora’ is used to refer to people who have left their homelands 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. The
word is increasingly used for such people as a collective group and/or a community. The world has seen
many diasporas but scholars have been studying the phenomenon with great interest only in recent
decades. Among the great diasporas of history is that of the Jewish people, who were forced to leave
their lands in ancient times.

The movement of Aryans from Central Europe to the Indian sub-continent thousands of years ago is also
a noteworthy diaspora, although the causes of this diaspora are unclear. 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 the Palestinians. There have been massive diasporas in Africa, too, over the
centuries, either because of war or because of the ravages of nature. But the chief reason why the
phenomenon of diaspora is attracting so much attention now is globalization.

8. Read the following text and make a flow-chart showing the factors causing the disappearance of the
mangrove forest. (One is done for you)
A vast mangrove forest shared by Bangladesh and India that is home to possibly 500 Bengal tigers is being
rapidly destroyed by erosion, rising sea levels and storm surges, according to a major study by researchers at
the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and others. Natalie Pettorelli, one of the report’s authors, said :
“Coastline retreat is evident everywhere. A continuing rate of retreat would see these parts of the mangrove
disappear within 50 years.

On the Indian side of the Sundarbans, the island which extends most into the Bay of Bengal has receded by an
average of 150 metres a year, with a maximum of just over 200 metres; this would see the disappearance of
the island in about 20 years.” The Sundarbans is known for vanishing islands but the scientists said the current
retreat of the mangrove forests on the southern coastline is not normal. “The causes for increasing coastline
retreat, other than anthropogenic ones, include increased frequency of storm surges and other extreme natural
events, rises in sea-level and increased salinity which increases the vulnerability of mangroves,” said Pettorelli.

9. Read the following text and make a flow chart showing the specialities of Gazi Pir. (One is done for you)
According to some myths and legends, Gazi Pir was a Muslim saint who is said to have spread Islam in the
parts of Bengal close to the Sunderbans. He was credited with many miracles. For example, he could
supposedly calm dangerous animals and make them docile. He is usually depicted in paats or scroll paintings
riding a fierce-looking Bengal tiger, a snake in his hand, but in no apparent danger. According to some stories,
he also fought crocodiles who threatened the people of a region full of canals and creeks, indeed, a kind of
watery jungle bordering the Bay of Bengal. Because of his alert and vigilant presence, all predatory animals
were said to have been kept within bounds. It was also believed that he enabled villagers to live close to
forests and jungles and cultivate their lands.

Consequently, people of these regions would pray to him for protection. The story of Gazi Pir has been
preserved in folk literature as well as art and has been performed in indigenous theatre. In fact, some Gazi’s
paat scrolls are part of the collection of the British Museum.
