Model Composition (305 words)
Introduction: Nearly every family in this country has one foot in each. A grandfather stayed, a father moved, and a student now travels between the two three times a year — which makes the comparison less an argument than a description of one household. Where the village is better: The air is breathable and the food is nearer to where it grew. A neighbour is a person you know rather than a door you pass. Illness, marriage and death are all handled by a community that arrives without being asked, and a child can walk to a field. The cost of living is a fraction of the city's, and nobody spends two hours a day sitting in traffic. Where the city is better: This is where the schools and colleges are, where a specialist doctor can be seen the same week, and where work exists that is not dependent on one harvest. A city is anonymous, and anonymity has its uses — a young person can choose a life their village would have argued about. Electricity, internet, libraries and hospitals are simply better. What each pays for it: The village pays in opportunity. A bright student may find no college within reach, and one bad flood can undo ten years of saving. The city pays in air, in time, in rent, and in the strange loneliness of living among a million people and knowing four. Why people move: Not because they prefer the city, but because the work is there. Migration in this country is mostly an economic decision made under pressure, not a preference expressed freely. Conclusion: The useful question is not which life is better. It is why anyone should have to choose — and the answer to that is schools, clinics, electricity and work in the places people would rather not leave.

Nearly every family here has one foot in each: a grandfather stayed, a father moved, a student travels between them. The village has breathable air, food near where it grew, and neighbours who arrive without being asked. Living costs a fraction of the city's, and nobody spends two hours a day in traffic. The city has the schools and colleges, specialist doctors, and work that does not depend on one harvest. It is anonymous, and anonymity lets a young person choose a life their village would have argued about. Each pays for it. The village pays in opportunity; one flood can undo ten years of saving. The city pays in air, time, rent and loneliness. People move because the work is there, not because they prefer it. The real question is why anyone should have to choose.
বাংলা অর্থ
রচনাটি ছয় অংশে: ভূমিকা, গ্রামের সুবিধা, শহরের সুবিধা, প্রত্যেকের মূল্য, মানুষ কেন শহরে যায়, উপসংহার। ভূমিকার ভাবনা — প্রায় প্রতিটি পরিবারেরই এক পা গ্রামে, এক পা শহরে; তাই তুলনাটা তর্ক নয়, একটি পরিবারের বর্ণনা। গ্রামের দিকে বাতাস, খাবার, প্রতিবেশী, কম খরচ, যানজটহীনতা। শহরের দিকে শিক্ষা, বিশেষজ্ঞ চিকিৎসা, ফসলনির্ভর নয় এমন কাজ, এবং **নাম-পরিচয়হীনতার স্বাধীনতা**। মূল্যের অংশে — গ্রাম দেয় সুযোগের দাম, শহর দেয় বাতাস, সময়, ভাড়া ও একাকিত্বের দাম। শেষে যুক্তি — কোনটা ভালো সেটা আসল প্রশ্ন নয়; আসল প্রশ্ন, বেছে নিতে হবে কেন।
কীভাবে লিখবেন — structure
এই রচনার সবচেয়ে বড় ফাঁদ — **এক পক্ষ নিয়ে ফেলা**। 'গ্রামজীবনই ভালো' লিখে পুরোটা গেলে অর্ধেক প্রশ্নের উত্তর হয় না। দুই দিককে **সমান জায়গা** দিন, তারপর একটা তৃতীয় অনুচ্ছেদ যোগ করুন — 'প্রত্যেকে কী মূল্য দেয়'। এতে তুলনাটা তালিকা না হয়ে বিশ্লেষণ হয়। **'মানুষ কেন শহরে যায়'** অনুচ্ছেদটি প্রায় কোনো খাতায় থাকে না, অথচ এটিই সবচেয়ে সত্য কথা: পছন্দ নয়, কাজ ওখানে বলেই যায়। উপসংহারে কোনটা ভালো তা ঘোষণা না করে প্রশ্নটা বদলে দিন — বেছে নিতে হবে কেন? মোট ৩৫০–৪০০ শব্দ।

যে ভুলে নম্বর কাটা যায়
Village life is always better than city life in every way.
The village has the air and the neighbours; the city has the colleges, the hospitals and the work.
A comparison question is marked on balance, and declaring a winner in the first line abandons half the answer.
There is no problem in village life.
A bright student may find no college within reach, and one flood can undo ten years of saving.
Romanticising the village is the commonest failing in this topic and shows no real observation.
People move to cities because they like buildings and lights.
People move because the work is there, usually under economic pressure.
Misreading the reason for migration turns a serious social point into a shallow one the examiner will mark down.
Writing two separate essays, one on each, with nothing joining them.
Comparing them point by point and then explaining what each side pays.
The word 'and' in the title asks for a comparison, so two unconnected descriptions have not answered it.
সাধারণ প্রশ্ন
- Should I say which life is better?
- Better not to declare a winner. Show what each offers and what each costs, then close on why anyone should have to choose. That reads as judgement rather than preference.
- How do I keep it a comparison rather than two descriptions?
- Give each paragraph a theme — air and health, education, work, cost, community — and treat both places inside it. The comparison then happens on every line rather than at the end.
- Can I use this for 'City Life' or 'Village Life' alone?
- Yes, with the weight shifted. Keep the other side as a short paragraph of contrast, because a description with nothing to compare against is much harder to make interesting.
