[PART 3] How to excel in English Writing when you are weak in Writing Skill - বাংলায়

 

How to Improve Writing Skills in English?

Part 3 - Writing Story

অনেকেরই English Writing Skill করতে গেলে একটু সমস্যায় পড়তে হয়। অনেকে English-এ ভালো, বা English-এ কথা বলতে বা text/chat করতে ভালো পারে, কিন্তু বড়ো Writing ভেবে লিখতে অসুবিধা হয়। কিন্তু Writing Skill-এ অনেক নম্বর থাকে, তাই বাদ দিলে মুশকিলে পড়তে হবে। তো, কী করা যায় ? Here, Simple Tips to improve your written English.

Part 1 - এ general paragraph লেখা শিখেছি।

Part 2 - তে Process Writing শিখেছি। 

Part 3 - তে শিখব Story Writing. 

Story লিখতে হয় past tense-এ। বেশিরভাগ ক্ষেত্রেই Story শুরু করা যায় "Once upon a time" দিয়ে, যার মানে হল : "একদা কোনও এক সময়..." . Story তে একটা title অবশ্যই দিতে হয়। আর যদি প্রশ্নে বলা থাকে তাহলে Moral অবশ্যই লিখতে হবে। 

Story Writing-এ hints বা points দেওয়া থাকবেই। সবার প্রথম কাজ হল, সব কটা points পর পর পড়ে গল্পটার মানে বা কী ঘটনা বোঝাতে চাইছে সেটা বোঝা। 

একটা করে দেখা যাক :

Write a story within hundred words based on the following points:

a crow lived on a tree - snake lived in a hole at the foot of the same tree - the snake ate up the crow's young ones - crow stole a necklace of the prince - dropped it onto the snake's hole - the King's men traced it - dug into the hole - snake killed

এবারে points গুলোর মানে বোঝার চেষ্টা করা যাক। 

a crow lived on a tree - একটা গাছে একটা কাক বাস করত 

snake lived in a hole at the foot of the same tree - একটা সাপ ওই একই গাছের তোলার এক কোটরে বাস করত 

the snake ate up the crow's young ones - সেই সাপ কাকটার সব শাবকদের খেয়ে ফেলত 

crow stole a necklace of the prince - কাক এক রাজকুমারের গলার হার চুরি করে আনলো 

dropped it onto the snake's hole - সাপের গর্তে ফেলে দিল 

the King's men traced it - রাজার লোকেরা সেটা খুঁজতে খুঁজতে এসে পৌঁছাল 

dug into the hole - গর্তটা খুঁড়ল 

snake killed - সাপটা মারা পড়ল 

এতেই আমাদের কাছে গল্পটা পরিষ্কার, যে কী আসলে ঘটেছে। এবার এই টুকরো গুলোকে সঠিকভাবে sentence বানিয়ে বসাতে হবে যাতে পুরো মানেটা বেরিয়ে আসে। 

এখানে blue তে লেখা অংশটা বানানো বা বাইরে থেকে add করা, কারণ সেটুকু না করলেই নয়। আর black অংশ গুলো একদম points গুলোই বসানো। 

Once upon a time, a crow lived on a tree. A snake lived in a hole at the foot of the same tree. One day, the snake ate up the crow's young ones. The crow was very sad and thought of taking revenge. So, the crow stole a necklace of the prince and dropped it onto the snake's hole. The King's men traced it and found the necklace in the whole of the snake. They dug into the hole to get the necklace. They also killed the snake inside. The crow got his revenge on the snake for eating his young ones.

Once a sailor went to sea and lost his way in a big storm. His ship broke and he fell into the water. He struggled hard in the water and then somehow reached to an island. He became very hungry and thirsty. He got nothing to eat or drink with him. Then he saw big coconut trees near the shore but, he could not climb the trees. He noticed some monkeys on tree tops. The sailor got an idea and threw stones at them. The monkeys imitated the sailor and threw coconuts at him. The sailor drank and ate the coconut. (102 words)

The Real Mother

Once two women had a quarrel over a child. Each claimed that she was the mother of the child. They were brought before the count. The judge in the count listened to both. He was sure that one of them was lying but it was hard to tell who is the real mother of the child. After thinking deeply, the judge found a solution. He said, "If you two were his mother, then let's cut the child into two, each of you will have one part."

On hearing the judge's words, one of the women screamed out loudly and said, "Mercy, your lord. Let the woman have the baby. Please don't cut the child." On the other hand. The other woman remained quite. The wise judge recognized the real mother. He gave the baby to the woman who was ready to give up her claim. The judge said. "She is the real mother of the child, as she cares about the child's life." He sent the other woman to jail.

Moral: Truth always Triumphs.

Some points to remember to write a story :

i. Story-writing is a task-dependent type of writing in which a student has to narrate a story based on the outline given in the question paper.

Story Writing-এর জন্য কিছু points বা hints দিয়ে দেওয়া হয়, আর তার ভিত্তিতে একটা গল্প বানাতে হয়। Story Writing-এ points অবশ্যই দেওয়া থাকবে, আর সেগুলো পর পর জুড়ে sentence বানাতে হবে। 

ii. After writing the main story a title or heading is provided. Remember 'title' is seldom written in complete sentence. It contains a few words and tells about the theme or the subject matter. 

মূল গল্প লেখার পর একটি শিরোনাম বা Title দেওয়া হয় Story-র প্রথমে। মনে রাখা দরকার, 'title' সাধারণত সম্পূর্ণ বাক্যে লেখা হয় না। এটি কয়েকটি শব্দের মাধ্যমে গল্পের মূল ভাব বা বিষয়বস্তু প্রকাশ করে। যেমন- The Clever Crow, The Crane and the Wolf 

iii. Story is generally written in past tense. But when dialogues are inserted present tense is used.

গল্প সাধারণত অতীত কালে লেখা হয়। তবে সংলাপ যুক্ত করা হলে বর্তমান কাল ব্যবহৃত হয়।

iv Some stories contain moral. It is written at the end of the story. Usually proverbs are used as morals but you may use a sentence of your own. Here is a list of proverbs:

কিছু গল্পের মধ্যে নৈতিক শিক্ষা (নৈতিকতা/moral) থাকে। এটি গল্পের শেষে লেখা হয়। সাধারণত প্রবাদ বাক্য নৈতিকতা হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয়, এটি নিজের মতো লেখা যেতে পারে। এখানে কিছু প্রবাদ দেওয়া হলো:
