(ନିମ୍ନଲିଖ୍ ବାକ୍ୟରେ କଳା ଅକ୍ଷରରେ ଥ‌ିବା ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର ।)

According to the statistics of the World Health Organisation, most cases of hospitalisation and leading causes of death are due to lack of awareness.
We can break the words in the following way and know how they are formed.
1. hospitalistion = hospitalise + tion
2. organisation = organize + tion
Here ‘hospitalise’ and ‘organise’ are verbs, and ‘hospitalisation’ and ‘organisation’ are nouns.
Now break the following words and find the verbs. You may use a dictionary to get the ‘verb forms’. (Question with Answer).
(ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ନିମ୍ନଲିଖ ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଦିଅ ଏବଂ କ୍ରିୟାପଦ ବାହାର କର । ତୁମେ ‘କ୍ରିୟା ରୂପ’ ଦେଖିବାପାଇଁ ଅଭିଧାନ ବ୍ୟବାହର କରିପାର । )

(ନିମ୍ନଲିଖତ ଯୋଡ଼ା ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସଂଯୋଗ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର ।)

  • important issue
  • educational banners

Here these pairs of words go together and are used in that way. This habitual combination of words sounds natural in English, e.g. : One says ‘strong coffee’ but not ‘powerful coffee’. This combination is called Collocation in English.
In the above examples, the first word is an ‘Adjective’ and the second word is a ‘Noun’. These combination are collocation of nouns and adjectives. We also use ‘Nouns’ with ‘Nouns’ in collocation, e.g.: safety rules.

Now, match the words under ‘A’ with the words under ‘B’ and write the pairs of words below. One is done for you.
(ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ‘A’ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ତଳେ ଥିବା ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ‘B’ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ତଳେ ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସହ ଯୋଗ କରି ଯୋଡ଼ା ଶବ୍ଦ ଗଠନ କର । ତୁମ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ କରି ଦିଆଯାଇଛି ।)

My dear Asmit,
Your letter of 22nd June was to my hands just now. I was happy to know about your school’s reputation in study. Your previous year’s result was extremely well. I hope you will do well this year too. In this letter, I want to say you something about road safety. Dear Asmit, studies should be given top priority. But for that we should take care of body. Always remember safety first. You have to go to school and other places on your bicycle. While riding a bicycle you have to keep in mind the road safety rules. Because if you don’t follow them there are chances of accidents. This may cause injury or cost your precious life. So I want to give you some tips about how to ride bicycle on road safely. While riding a bicycle always keep to your left. Never be unmindful or in hurry. Don’t speed over your bicycle so that you lose your balance and fall down. Always keep you bicycle in good condition.
Hope you must keep my tips in your mind. I have nothing more to pen you.

Yours lovingly
Asutosh
