Model Composition (330 words)
Introduction: Bangladesh sits where three great rivers finish their journey, on land that is mostly a few metres above the sea. That geography gave us the richest soil in the region and, with it, a permanent appointment with disaster. What we face: Floods come almost every year, and once in a decade one arrives that covers half the country. Cyclones form in the Bay and strike the coast, and the surge of seawater behind them often destroys more than the wind itself. Erosion is slower and in the end harder: a river removes a household's land altogether, unannounced and uncompensated, leaving nothing underneath to rebuild on. Drought parches the north-west, and earthquake risk sits under our cities largely unprepared for. What they do: A single bad flood destroys the standing crop, drowns cattle, contaminates every tube well it reaches, and puts schools out of use as they become shelters. Waterborne disease follows the water. The economic damage is counted in crores, but the household damage is simpler: a family that had a little is left with nothing, and often borrows at a rate it can never repay. What has genuinely improved: This is worth saying plainly. Bangladesh now loses a small fraction of the lives to a cyclone that it lost fifty years ago. Early warning reaches villages by phone and megaphone, thousands of raised shelters have been built, and trained volunteers move people before the storm rather than after it. The country is studied internationally for this. What still needs doing: Maintain the embankments instead of rebuilding them after each failure. Extend the shelter network to the chars. Enforce building rules before an earthquake tests them. Protect the Sundarbans, which absorbs the force of storms reaching that coast. And plan for the salt that is moving inland year by year. Conclusion: We cannot stop the water. We have already proved we can decide how much it costs us, and that proof is the most useful thing this country knows.

Bangladesh sits where three great rivers finish their journey, on land mostly a few metres above the sea. That geography gave us rich soil and a permanent appointment with disaster. Floods come almost every year. Cyclones strike the coast, and the seawater behind them destroys more than the wind. Erosion removes a household's land altogether, and drought parches the north-west. A bad flood destroys the crop, drowns cattle, contaminates tube wells and closes schools. Disease follows the water, and households borrow at rates they cannot repay. But one thing has genuinely improved: we now lose a small fraction of the lives to a cyclone that we lost fifty years ago, because warnings reach villages early, shelters have been built and volunteers move people before the storm. We cannot stop the water. We have proved we can decide how much it costs us.

যে ভুলে নম্বর কাটা যায়
Bangladesh can do nothing about natural calamities.
We now lose a small fraction of the lives to a cyclone that we lost fifty years ago.
The improvement is real, internationally studied, and the strongest point available, so denying it wastes the best paragraph in the topic.
Writing only about floods.
Covering flood, cyclone, river erosion, drought and earthquake risk.
The title is plural, and a composition on one disaster has answered a narrower question than the one asked.
A cyclone is caused by heavy rain.
A cyclone forms over the Bay and may bring a tidal surge that does more damage than the wind.
A wrong mechanism suggests the writer has no real knowledge, and the surge is the detail that shows they do.
We should pray and wait for help after a disaster.
Maintain embankments, extend the shelter network, enforce building rules and protect the Sundarbans.
The remedies paragraph is marked on practical measures, and passivity earns nothing there.
সাধারণ প্রশ্ন
- Which calamities should I include?
- Flood, cyclone with tidal surge, river erosion, drought and earthquake risk. River erosion is the one most scripts forget and the one whose damage is permanent.
- Should I say anything positive?
- Yes. Bangladesh's cyclone preparedness is genuinely a success story, and one honest paragraph about it lifts the composition above the usual list of suffering.
- Can I use this for 'Flood in Bangladesh'?
- Partly. For that title, expand the flood section into causes, effects and remedies of its own and drop the other disasters to a sentence.
