Paragraphs. – প্রত্যেকটি প্রশ্নের দুটো কি তিনটি অনুচ্ছেদে উত্তর দাও।
1. What are the main features of the mechanical teachers and the schoolrooms that Margie and Tommy have in the story ?
Ans. Margie and Tommy have mechanical teachers and they are not human being.. They need not go to school for learning lesson. The mechanical teacher is placed in one of the rooms of house and they can get knowledge of various subjects individually. They don’t have classrooms where students sit together. Their teacher has many telebooks. So they don’t require books and exercise books. The examination system is very different. Margie has to write them out in a punch code they made her learn when she was six years old, and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks in no time. So the system of Margie’s education is technologically advanced and not based on printed books. The whole system is done by Machanically. – গল্পে মাগী ও টমির যান্ত্রিক শিক্ষক ও বিদ্যালয় – ঘরের কী প্রধান বৈশিষ্ট্য ছিল?
2. Why did Margie hate school? Why did she think the old kind of school must have been fun? – মার্গী কেন বিদ্যালয়কে যৃণা করত ? কেন সে মনে করত পুরোনো দিনের বিদ্যালয় খুব মজার ছিল ?
Ans. Margie hated school because she had a mechanical teacher. It was in her house. She was supposed to sit in that room alone to complete her hometask or assignments. The part Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers. The mechanical teacher gave the best after test in Geography and she had been doing worse. So she hated it more than ever.
She thought that the old schools must have been fun because the students used to sit together in the classroom. They enjoyed, laughed and shouted in the schoolyard. Children need company to home their skills. So she thinks that the old kind of school must have been fun.
3. Do you agree with Margie that schools today are more. fun than the school in the story ? Give reasons for your answer. – তুমি কি মাগীকে সমর্থন করো যে আজকের বিদ্যালয় গল্পের সময়ের বিদ্যালয়ের চেয়ে খুব মজার ছিল? তোমার উত্তরে কারণ দেখাও।
Ans. Yes, schools today are more fun than the school discussed in the story. This school has nothing but a mechanical teacher that has no emotions and sentiments. It does not have the ability to understand the psychology of a child. Moreover it guides a pupil according to its adjusted modes. But today’s schools work for the overall development of a child. They are given training in leadership, sports, politics and science. They learn how to adept to the new surroundings and how to cope with strangers. The students sit and learn together forgetting their caste, colour and creed. They play together and enjoy the fun of beins together. Thus they do not feel lonely and bored.

II. If not and Unless
• Imagine that Margie’s mother told her, ‘You’ll feel awful if you don’t finish your history lesson.”
• She could also say: ‘You’ 11 feel awful unless you finish your history lesson.”
Unless means if not. Sentences with unless or if not are negative conditional sentences.
Notice that these sentences have two parts. The part that begins with if not or unless tells us the condition. This part has a verb in the present tense (look at the verbs don’t finish, finish in the sentences above).
The other part of the sentence tells us about a possible result. It tells us what will happen (if something else doesn’t
happen). The verb in this part of the sentence is in the future tense (you ‘II feel/you will fee]).
Notice these two tenses again in the following examples:
| Future Tense | Present Tense |
| •There won’t be any books left unless | we preserve them. |
| • You won’t learn your lessons if | you don’t study regularly. |
| • Tommy will have an accident unless | he drives more slowly. |
