Theme 1: Identity and culture - Topic 2: Technology in everyday life explained
This topic asks you to communicate about mobile technology in Bengali: the devices people own, what they use them for, how often, and what you think of them.
Read the full explanation
Build sentences around a clear subject and a matching verb ending. When you describe another person, use third-person pronouns such as সে (familiar) or তিনি (honorific) with the verb form that agrees with that choice, and keep the same level throughout. For example, describe a friend with সে and a matching verb, and an older relative with তিনি and a matching verb. Add frequency words, opinions and reasons so the response develops rather than lists. Practise both familiar and honorific third-person description, and check that second-person forms such as তুমি and আপনি appear only when you actually address someone.
Your focus
- Describe mobile technology use in connected Bengali sentences
- Select third-person pronouns and verb endings that agree and stay at one honorific level

Theme 1: Identity and culture - Topic 2: Technology in everyday life exam tips
Marking Points
- Describes a device and its use with a clear subject and a verb ending that agrees with it
- Uses third-person pronouns such as সে or তিনি consistently with matching verb forms when describing another person
- Keeps one honorific level for a described person instead of mixing familiar and honorific forms
- Adds frequency and opinion expressions with reasons to develop the response beyond a list
- Addresses a person with second-person forms only where the response genuinely speaks to someone
Examiner Tips
- 💡Plan two or three points about mobile technology, each with a device, an action and an opinion
- 💡Check every verb ending against its subject before finishing
- 💡Include a frequency word and a reason so the response shows range rather than a list
Common Mistakes
- Mixes familiar and honorific third-person forms for the same person; choose সে or তিনি once and keep the matching verb endings
- Uses second-person forms such as তুমি or আপনি to describe a third person; use সে or তিনি with agreeing verbs instead
- Lists devices without verbs or opinions; attach each device to an action and a view with a reason
