(282 words, 5 paragraphs, 23 lines)

Introduction: When I was a child my elder brother was a student. He was senior to me by three years. He went to school everyday. I pressed him to take me with him. Mother prevented him from doing it.

A sense of joy and happiness: When I attained the age of five, father proposed that I should be admitted in a school. I heard of it and was very glad. It was a Monday. Mother washed me well, combed my hair and dressed me in new, costly clothes. Father also dressed himself in fine clothes and became ready. Then he went to the village primary school. I accompanied him there.

At Headmaster room: My father went to the head teacher and requested him to admit me in class one. I felt shy and stood with my eyes fixed upon the ground. But his loving and affectionate words rid me of the shyness. I looked at him and he, with a smile, asked me what my name was. I told him my name. He was glad and admitted me in class one.

At classroom: There were twenty-five boys of my age in the class. I felt a kind of shyness when I was led there. My class teacher spoke to me tenderly. My classmates welcomed me with smiling faces. My class teacher also asked me what my name was. I answered him promptly but politely. He was glad at this. I was then given the first lesson in Bengali. I read it with my classmates for one hour. Then my class was dismissed and I went home.

Conclusion: My first day at school was very pleasant. I shall never forget the happy day.
