It Was a Great Day!       Lessons 1-2

A. Listen and read (āĻļোāύ āφāϰ āĻĒ⧜).

Last January I went to a cub camporee (āĻ—āϤ āϜাāύু⧟াāϰি āĻŽাāϏে āφāĻŽি āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰিāϤে āĻ—ি⧟েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). It was my first visit to a cub camporee and it was my first time away from home (āĻāϟি āĻ›িāϞ āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰিāϤে  āφāĻŽাāϰ āĻĒ্āϰāĻĨāĻŽ āĻ­্āϰāĻŽāύ āĻāĻŦং āĻāϟি āφāĻŽাāϰ āĻĒ্āϰāĻĨāĻŽ āĻŦাāĻĄ়ি āĻĨেāĻ•ে āĻĻূāϰে āϝাāĻ“ā§Ÿা)! A camporee is a gathering of cubs from different parts of Bangladesh (āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰি āĻŦাংāϞাāĻĻেāĻļেāϰ āĻŦিāĻ­িāύ্āύ āĻ…ংāĻļ āĻĨেāĻ•ে āφāϏা āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āĻāĻ•āϟি āϏāĻŽাāĻŦেāĻļ). Cubs all over the world have their own camporees (āϏাāϰা āĻŦিāĻļ্āĻŦ āϜুāĻĄ়ে āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āύিāϜāϏ্āĻŦ āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰি āϰāϝ়েāĻ›ে).

The cub camporee took place in Sreemangal under Moulvibazar district (āĻŽৌāϞāĻ­ীāĻŦাāϜাāϰ āϜেāϞাāϰ āĻ…āύ্āϤāϰ্āĻ—āϤ āĻļ্āϰীāĻŽāĻ™্āĻ—āϞে āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰীāϟি āĻ…āύুāώ্āĻ িāϤ āĻšā§ŸেāĻ›িāϞ). To get there, we travelled from Dhaka to Sreemangal by train (āϏেāĻ–াāύে āϝাāĻ“āϝ়াāϰ āϜāύ্āϝāφāĻŽāϰা āϟ্āϰেāύে āĻ•āϰে āĻĸাāĻ•া āĻĨেāĻ•ে āĻļ্āϰীāĻŽāĻ™্āĻ—āϞে āĻ—িāϝ়েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). We arrived in the morning, so the weather was nice (āφāĻŽāϰা āϏāĻ•াāϞে āĻĒৌঁāĻ›েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽāϤাāχ āφāĻŦāĻšাāĻ“āϝ়া āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻ›িāϞ). We walked to our camp from the train station (āφāĻŽāϰা āϟ্āϰেāύ āϏ্āϟেāĻļāύ āĻĨেāĻ•ে āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒেāϰ āĻĻিāĻ•ে āĻšাঁāϟāϞাāĻŽ).

There were 10 of us and two leaders (āϏেāĻ–াāύে āφāĻŽāϰা ā§§ā§Ļ āϜāύ āĻāĻŦং āĻĻুāχ āϜāύ āύেāϤা āĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). We were a big group, so we didn't take any rickshaws (āφāĻŽāϰা āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻŦāĻĄ় āĻĻāϞ āĻ›িāϞাāĻŽāϤাāχ āφāĻŽāϰা āĻ•োāύāĻ“ āϰিāĻ•্āϏা āύিāχāύি). We walked together in our group (āφāĻŽāϰা āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻĻāϞে āĻāĻ•āϏাāĻĨে āĻšাঁāϟāϞাāĻŽ). It wasn't very far (āĻāϟা āĻ–ুāĻŦ āĻŦেāĻļি āĻĻূāϰে āĻ›িāϞ āύা). At the camp, we cleaned up the area, set up our tents and prepared our breakfast (āĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒেāφāĻŽāϰা āĻāϞাāĻ•াāϟি āĻĒāϰিāώ্āĻ•াāϰ āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽāφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āϤাঁāĻŦু āϏ্āĻĨাāĻĒāύ āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ āĻāĻŦং āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻĒ্āϰাāϤঃāϰাāĻļ āĻĒ্āϰāϏ্āϤুāϤ āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). After breakfast, we played games with cubs from other parts of Bangladesh (āĻĒ্āϰাāϤঃāϰাāĻļেāϰ āĻĒāϰāφāĻŽāϰা āĻŦাংāϞাāĻĻেāĻļেāϰ āĻ…āύ্āϝাāύ্āϝ āĻ…ংāĻļ āĻĨেāĻ•ে āφāϏা āϤāϰুāύ āϏ্āĻ•াāωāϟāĻĻেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āĻ–েāϞাāϧুāϞা āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). Then we had lunch (āϤাāϰāĻĒāϰ āφāĻŽāϰা āĻĻুāĻĒুāϰেāϰ āĻ–াāĻŦাāϰ āĻ–েāϞাāĻŽ). We cooked rice and chicken (āφāĻŽāϰা āĻ­াāϤ āĻāĻŦং āĻŽুāϰāĻ—িāϰ āĻŽাংāϏ āϰাāύ্āύা āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). In the afternoon and evening, we sang songs and recited poems (āĻŦিāĻ•েāϞে āĻāĻŦং āϏāύ্āϧ্āϝাāϝ়āφāĻŽāϰা āĻ—াāύ āĻ—েāϝ়েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ āĻāĻŦং āĻ•āĻŦিāϤা āφāĻŦৃāϤ্āϤি āĻ•āϰেāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). It was fun (āĻāϟা āĻ›িāϞ āĻŽāϜাāϰ āĻŦ্āϝাāĻĒাāϰ)! At night, we slept in our tents (āϰাāϤেāφāĻŽāϰা āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āϤাঁāĻŦুāϤে āϘুāĻŽাāϞাāĻŽ).


It Was a Great Day!       Lessons3-4

The next day, after the camporee, we went to Lowachara National Park (āĻĒāϰেāϰ āĻĻিāύāĻ•্āϝাāĻŽ্āĻĒোāϰেāϰ āĻĒāϰেāφāĻŽāϰা āϞোāϝ়াāĻ›āĻĄ়া āϜাāϤীāϝ় āωāĻĻ্āϝাāύে āĻ—িāϝ়েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). It was very interesting (āĻāϟা āĻ–ুāĻŦ āφāĻ•āϰ্āώāĻŖীāϝ় āĻ›িāϞ). We took a walk beside a small stream in the forest (āφāĻŽāϰা āĻŦāύেāϰ āĻŽāϧ্āϝে āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻ›োāϟ āϜāϞāĻĒ্āϰāĻĒাāϤেāϰ āĻĒাāĻļে āĻšাঁāϟāϤে āϞাāĻ—āϞাāĻŽ). Our leaders told us to be very quiet because the animals are frightened by noise (āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āύেāϤাāϰা āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻ–ুāĻŦ āĻļাāύ্āϤ āĻĨাāĻ•āϤে āĻŦāϞেāĻ›িāϞেāύ āĻ•াāϰāĻŖ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻে āĻ­āϝ় āĻĒাāϝ়). We walked quietly up a small hill, and suddenly we heard something in the trees above our heads (āφāĻŽāϰা āĻļাāύ্āϤāĻ­াāĻŦে āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻ›োāϟ āĻĒাāĻšাāĻĄ়েāϰ āωāĻĒāϰে āĻšাঁāϟāϞাāĻŽāĻāĻŦং āĻšāĻ াā§Ž āφāĻŽāϰা āφāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻŽাāĻĨাāϰ āωāĻĒāϰে āĻ—াāĻ›āĻ—ুāϞিāϤে āĻ•িāĻ›ু āĻļুāύāϤে āĻĒেāϞাāĻŽ।). We looked up and saw a gibbon (āφāĻŽāϰা āωāĻĒāϰেāϰ āĻĻিāĻ•ে āϤাāĻ•াāϞাāĻŽ āĻāĻŦং āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻšāύুāĻŽাāύ āĻĻেāĻ–āϤে āĻĒেāϞাāĻŽ). It was moving quickly through the trees (āĻāϟা āĻ—াāĻ›েāϰ āĻŽāϧ্āϝ āĻĻিāϝ়ে āĻĻ্āϰুāϤ āϚāϞে āϝাāϚ্āĻ›িāϞ).

After our visit to Lowachara National Park, we went to the Nilkantha Tea Cabin (āϞোāϝ়াāĻ›āĻĄ়া āϜাāϤীāϝ় āωāĻĻ্āϝাāύ āĻĒāϰিāĻĻāϰ্āĻļāύেāϰ āĻĒāϰāφāĻŽāϰা āύীāϞāĻ•āĻŖ্āĻ  āϚা āĻ•েāĻŦিāύে āĻ—িāϝ়েāĻ›িāϞাāĻŽ). This is a famous place to drink tea in Sreeroongal (āĻļ্āϰীāϰুāĻ™্āĻ—āϞে āϚা āĻĒাāύ āĻ•āϰাāϰ āϜāύ্āϝ āĻāϟি āĻāĻ•āϟি āĻŦিāĻ–্āϝাāϤ āϜাāϝ়āĻ—া). The Nilkantha Tea Cabin sells a glass of tea of different colours and flavours (āύীāϞāĻ•āĻŖ্āĻ া āϟি āĻ•েāĻŦিāύ āĻŦিāĻ­িāύ্āύ āϰāĻ™ āĻāĻŦং āϏ্āĻŦাāĻĻেāϰ āĻāĻ• āĻ—্āϞাāϏ āϚা āĻŦিāĻ•্āϰি āĻ•āϰে). It was amazing (āĻāϟা āĻŦিāϏ্āĻŽāϝ়āĻ•āϰ āĻ›িāϞ)! I will never forget my visit to Lowachara National Park (āϞোāϝ়াāĻ›āĻĄ়া āϜাāϤীāϝ় āωāĻĻ্āϝাāύে āφāĻŽাāϰ āϏāĻĢāϰ āφāĻŽি āĻ•āĻ–āύāχ āĻ­ুāϞāĻŦ āύা). It was a great day (āĻāϟা āĻāĻ•āϟা āĻĻুāϰ্āĻĻাāύ্āϤ āĻĻিāύ āĻ›িāϞ)!
