Bangabandhu Satelite 1

By
It is a matter of pride that Bangladesh is now one of the countries who has launched their own satellite on orbit. Today almost all developed countries have their own satellite in the orbit. The Bangabandhu Satelite-1 was launched on 11th May 2018. The satellite was manufactured by Thales Alenia Space and Space X, a commercial space delivery organization made the launching possible. The satellite was sent to the orbit using the rocket Falcon-9. Now Bangladesh is the 57th nation of the world and 4th nation of South Asia who has their own satellite. Bangabandhu Satellite has launched in the orbit slot at longitude 119.1 degrees east. The satellite will be managed by Bangladesh Communications Satellite Company Limited. (BCSCL). It has 40 transponders. Among them, 14 are of C-band and 26 are of KU band. The country will lease 20 of it's transponders to other countries who do not have their own satellite. The satellite has two ground stations. One is located at Talibabad, Gazipur and the other is located at Betbunia, Rangamati. The launching of  Bangabandhu Satelite-1 is a historic event for our country and it will also bring many benefits. At the past, Bangladesh has to spend  $14million per year as satellite rent to ensure uninterrupted connectivity of Television, Radio, Telephone, and the Internet. So now we can save a huge amount of money and can also earn up to $50 million by rendering broadcasting service. Now seven private TV station and three channels are currently using BS-1. The country's first ever satellite also delivered the live coverage of the SAFF Championship on 4th September 2018 as Bangladesh was the host country. It is expected that the life span of the satellite is 15 years. We strongly believe that now the communication sector of Bangladesh will progress in several fields like- e-learning, video learning, e medicine, disaster management and helping the people of coastal areas during different natural calamities.

My Visit to Sylhet

By
 Sylhet is one of the most beautiful places in Bangladesh. It's a place of natural beauty. Sylhet is widely known for having tea gardens and hills. It is also a holy place as it is known as the place of 360 awlias(saints). Last year I got the opportunity to go to Sylhet. I visited Sylhet with my family. We went there by train. I sat beside the window and enjoy the scenes through the window. I was overwhelmed by the natural scenes. After seven hours long journey, we reached Sylhet. We visited all the places of tourist attractions like- Jaflong which is near the Indian border, Ratargul swamp forest, Lauachara forest, and Tangua Haor. We spent five days in Sylhet. I enjoyed each and every moments of my Sylhet tour.

My country-Bangladesh

The name of our country is the People's Republic of Bangladesh. It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Our country was a part of Pakistan before 1971. Then we freed our country and achieved victory after nine month's liberation war. 3 million people sacrificed their lives in the liberation war in 1971. Our independence day is 26th March and Victory day is 16th December. The national language of our country is Bangla. It is also a matter of great pride for us that we are the only nation that sacrificed their lives for the sake of their mother tongue on  21st February of 1952. In order to show respect to them, UNESCO has declared 21st February as International Mother Language Day. The name of the capital of Bangladesh is Dhaka.

My Pet (Bird)

By
Birds are the beautiful creature of almighty. I love birds. That's why on my last birthday my brother presented me a parrot. I call it Mithu. It is very beautiful. It has a red beak, long tail, and green feather. I give it foods and water. It loves to eat seeds, rice, chilies, and fruits like mango, guava. Mithu is very intelligent. She can imitate people's voice. She says almost anything that we talk. When I go to school, I put her on a cage. When I come back from school, she becomes very happy and starts shouting. She always prefers to be among us and get pampered by us.  Mithu is not only a bird but also a very good friend of mine. I love her company more than anything else. She is loved by all of my family members. We are really grateful to have her in our life.
