Tips
এ ধরনের প্রশ্নের শিক্ষার্থীরা যে বড় ভুলগুলো করে থাকে তা হল:
- উভয় প্রশ্নের পুরোপুরি উত্তর না দেওয়া।
- উত্তর গুলোকে সংক্ষিপ্ত রূপে এক বাক্যে ইন্ট্রোডাকশন এর শেষে উল্লেখ করতে ব্যর্থ হওয়া।
- Body Paragraph এ Topic Sentence এ উত্তর লেখার পর সেই উত্তর এর জন্য Supporting Sentence না লেখা এবং উদাহরণ না দেয়া।
- এই টাইপের প্রশ্নের সাথে অন্য টাইপের প্রশ্ন গুলিয়ে ফেলা।
তাই যা করতে হবেঃ
প্রতিটি প্রশ্নের উত্তর অবশ্যই স্পষ্টভাবে উল্লেখ করতে হবে এবং ইন্ট্রোডাকশন এর শেষের লাইনে (outline sentence) সেই উত্তর গুলোকে এক বাক্যে সংক্ষেপে লিখে ফেলতে হবে। যদি এই প্রশ্নগুলোর উত্তর এক Sentence এ সংক্ষেপে দিতে না পারেন তবে অন্তত এটা বলুন যে এই Essay তে এই উত্তর গুলোর ব্যাপারে কথা বলা হবে। উপরের ভুলগুলো না করলে এবং আমাদের দেয়া স্ট্রাকচারটি follow করলে অনেক সহজে ভালো স্কোর পাওয়া যাবে।

Question:
Fossil fuels are essential for producing electricity, powering industry, and fueling transportation. However, one day we will reach a point when all the world’s fossil fuels have been depleted.
How can we conserve these resources?
What are some alternatives to fossil fuels?
Sample Answer:
The world is currently reliant on oil, coal, and natural gas for the majority of its energy requirements but there will come a time when these run out. This essay will explore how we can help to prevent our non-renewable resources from becoming depleted by using our cars less frequently and it will name some natural forces that can be harnessed to generate power.
Conserving energy is a responsibility of every individual and an important way in which we can all do our bit is to use more energy-efficient means of transport. The easiest way to do this is to leave the car at home and walk or cycle to our destination if it isn’t too far away, or take public transport for longer journeys. Another way to reduce our fuel consumption is to car share. Whenever my friends and I get together for coffee, we agree to meet up at a café that we can each get to without having to drive our cars there. We usually go on foot or ride our bikes. If everyone made small decisions like this, it would make a real difference.
The most sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels are the generation of power from natural forces such as the sun, wind, and oceans. Solar and wind power are already widely used across the world but it is wave power and tidal energy that have the greatest untapped potential to provide for our energy needs in the future. A report recently commissioned in the United Kingdom estimates that tidal energy could meet as much as 20% of the UK’s current electricity demands once the technology being developed is operational. Wave energy converters are expected to prove equally successful in the long term.
In conclusion, our earth’s reserves of fossil fuels will not last forever and we need to be continually developing new technologies to enable us to produce energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, and water. In the meantime, we can help to slow the rate of depletion by leaving the car at home and using more energy-efficient forms of transport whenever possible.
