Theme 2: Local, national, international and global areas of - Topic 3: Global issues explained
This topic asks you to discuss poverty and homelessness in Bengali, within Theme 2, Topic 3 (global issues).
Read the full explanation
Build vocabulary for the causes and effects of poverty (দারিদ্র্য) and homelessness (গৃহহীনতা), and for help such as charity (দান), shelters and government support. Practise sentences that name a problem, explain a cause and suggest a solution, for example গৃহহীন মানুষদের সাহায্য করার জন্য আশ্রয়কেন্দ্র দরকার. Learn to use connectors such as কারণ (because) and তাই (therefore) to link ideas. In a multiple-choice question, read the prompt carefully, decide whether it asks about a cause, an effect or a solution, then choose the option that fits both meaning and grammar.
Your focus
- Recognise and understand Bengali vocabulary for poverty, homelessness and support.
- Select the option that matches the meaning and grammar of a Bengali prompt.
- Use connectors such as কারণ and তাই to link causes and solutions.

Marking Points
- Selects the option that matches the meaning about poverty or homelessness in the Bengali prompt.
- Identifies the correct grammatical form, such as verb ending or connector, in the chosen option.
- Distinguishes a cause word such as দারিদ্র্য from a solution word such as দান.
- Rejects distractors that fit grammatically but not the context of the prompt.
Examiner Tips
- 💡Underline the key word in the Bengali prompt, such as কারণ or সমাধান, before choosing.
- 💡Eliminate options that are wrong in meaning, then check grammar in the remaining ones.
- 💡Learn poverty and homelessness vocabulary in cause-and-effect pairs to recognise them quickly.
Common Mistakes
- Mixes up cause and solution vocabulary; check whether the prompt asks why something happens or what can be done.
- Overlooks connectors such as কারণ and তাই and so misreads the logic of the sentence; identify the connector first.
- Picks an option on one familiar word alone; read the full option and confirm it fits the whole prompt.
