ইংরেজী ১ম পত্র প্রশ্ন

Read the following passage and answer the questions below it:Before the invention of reading and writing, people lived in an environment in which they struggled to survive against natural forces, animals and other humans. To survive, preliterate people developed skills that grew into cultural and educational patterns. For a particular group's culture to continue into the future, people had to transmit it, or pass it on, from adults to children. The earliest educational processes involved sharing information about gathering food and providing shelter, making weapons and other tools, learning language and acquiring the values, behaviour and religious rites or practices of a given culture.Through direct informal education, parents and elders taught children the skills and roles they would need as adults. These lessons eventually formed the moral codes that governed behaviour. Since they lived before the invention of writing, preliterate people used an oral tradition or storytelling to pass on their culture and history from one generation to the next. By using language, people learned to create and use symbols, words or signs to express their ideas. When these symbols grew into pictographs and letters, human beings created a written language and made a great cultural leap to literacy.

উত্তর ও ব্যাখ্যা

(1.1) According to the passage, education has been the means by which a group's culture is passed on from adults to children so that it can continue into the future. It taught people the skills needed to survive, such as gathering food, building shelters and making tools, and also language, values, behaviour and religious practices. Through education, parents and elders prepared children for their adult roles, and it formed the moral codes governing behaviour.

(1.2) Before reading and writing, people had to struggle for survival against natural forces, animals and other humans. This environment determined what they needed to learn. So the earliest educational processes focused on practical survival matters: gathering food, providing shelter, making weapons and other tools, learning language and acquiring the values and religious rites of their culture.

(1.3) Preliterate people passed on their culture and history through an oral tradition or storytelling. In doing so they used language and learned to create and use symbols, words or signs to express their ideas.
