A day at Gazipur Safari Park Today was a wonderful day. According to my plan, me and my colleague visited to Gazipur Safari Park. We started our journey at 9:00 in morning and reached there at mid noon. There after we took a rickshaw to go to the park. The park was not that much attractive, but at 1st view we did not understand that. We was too tired and hungry. So first we decided to take our lunch. There were two restaurants, one is TIGER restaurant another is LION restaurant. We was not able to decided which one should we go. Then she find out a nice way to select a restaurant. She started counting and selected the TIGER Restaurant. At the time of taking our lunch, we saw a Royal Bengal Tiger. It was very cute. 1st I saw it from a long distance, but after few minutes we found the tiger started modeling. It stopped a bus (core ride of this park), and next the tiger sit down in a high floor, and next it started walking in front of our restaurant. We were very excited to see it, and I thought if this is the starting of the park, then there must be more exciting thing when we will ride in the bus. But unfortunately the core ride disappointed me. We saw a very large cow, white lions, black bear and human at the time of riding. There is also a zoo inside of this park. For each animal we need to cut separate ticket. But it was another foolish decision to cut ticket for those. For example, we could easily see fishes without ticket from outside. Once you have a ticket, you can give food to fish. and there was a large fish aquarium, which also was not interesting to me. Except the peacock section, I do not thing there is anything to pay. We spent more time at peacock section. There was a very beautiful sitting place and we site there for sometime. May be the voice of peacock is not so sweet, but we enjoyed it. I have not seen the jurassic park cinema, but she did and she discovered the director of jurassic park, copied the voice of peacock for the voice of dinosaur. At the time of return, we saw a large number birds, kangaroo and a very gentle and innocent monkey (who was as intelligent that was able to escape from it's cage). After more three hours of traveling, we reached home safely. Overall I enjoyed the day. I think traveling is good for both physical and mental refreshment. It also enrich our knowledge and ability to cope up with new environment. Though I have not traveled in my life but I love traveling a lot. I wish to travel in another new place in next month.

My preparation technique for IELTS speaking section I am looking forward to sit my IELTS soon. I need to practice a lot. But it is hard to take a good native English language partner. And most of the time, people do not love to speak on educational topics. I tried to find a solution. I speak with me. I will describe you how I do it. You know there is three section at Speaking test. At first section, this is common for all. I just prepare answer for myself. Who am I, what am I doing, what I want to be, etc. All are about myself, my personal interest. At second section, I need to speak on a specific topic. At this section, what I do is - I take a topic everyday, and speak myself, and then record it. I listen it again, and try to find mistakes from the recorded audio. Usually I do it before sleep. For the last section, I just try to find question, comparison etc from the same topic. For example, when i come back to home, say I face a huge traffic. Then I start talking about traffic. How to solve traffic problem, is it same for part and present, what does people do at traffic jam etc. Thank you for reading my notebook.

Selling is art and not the only important part for a successful company. "We bring the bread and butter for the entire company" - this is a common word used by some sales person. I strongly disagree on it. Because by listening these words, no one will be happy except salesman. Those who can not win peoples heart are not a good salesman. Because selling is art, a good salesman can read his/her customers mind, and can sale anything, whether it is necessary. We should respect to those who are working in production or othres section. Because without other section's help, a salesman can not be successfull. So if a company is successfull, it is successfull for all of it's employess hard work, not only for salesman. I personally love this occupation, if I would not be a Software Engineer, may be I would become a salesman or tailor.

Poor customer service experience I forgot my teletalk routers password may be 1.5 years before. Then I was unable to retrieve my password. I visited teletalk office. They told me, they can not give any support for device. I need to go to ZTE supporting center, as they are the manufacturers for this device. Then I visited that supporting center, which is situated at banani. But alas! I did not took my guaranty card with me that time. So they said, it will take 2 days to fix this issue, I can keep this device to them and after two days, I can take it back by showing my guarantee card. Or if I can not show the guarantee card, than I have to pay 300 taka to just reset my password. My mind did not say "YES" to proceed. 1st of all, their supporting center looks poor to me according to its decoration. Another reason was, I did not think to reset a password should took 2 days, so I was confused about their skill. And the final reason was recharged my internet balance a day before, and my device was new, and it was not possible for me to stay at home for tow days without internet. So I came back, without resenting my password. Today I found the solution at http://techvolatile.blogspot.com/, which is just a 8 seconds solution. I can not express that how much happy I am now

Little experience - 1 Yesterday I met with a client at skype. He described me about his project, and at the end of the conversation, he asked me to tell something about my most recent projects. Though my most recent project is a Dot net project, but I did not spoke about it. Because, it is not related with his project. Instead of talking about this Dot Net Project, I talked about a 'Symphony' project and some Zend Project which were much related to his described projects, not in terms of business perspective, but in terms of technology. Let me share my feeling before this conversation. I knew that he is from USA. I was a little afraid for that, because most of the time, I can not understand properly what native US or UK people speak. They speak too fast and at very beginning of all conversation, I always have to request them, "Please speak a little slowly". I do not like to say this anymore. But surprising, I did not need to tell him this words as well. He was very good to speak, he spoke very clearly. When he was pronouncing each word, he pronounced separately and perfectly. It was an awesome experience to spoke with him. Now I am looking forward to get some native US friends to improve my listening power for English. :)

Introducting Italki I have found a very good website to learn a new language. This is a very good website, where you can find a lot of language partner and professional teacher. Learning something new is always interesting to me, whether it is a real language or a programming language. Now I have language partner from Afghanistan, China, India, Finland and many more. Language partners are very helpful to improve listening and speaking skill. Most of the time I use skype to practice my English language with my learning partners. But to improve reading and writing skill, there is no other way to read articles, books and practice writing on italki. I love to use italki's notebook option, because in this section, I can not only get the opportunity to write, but also I get help to verify my notes by native speakers or professionals teachers. Thank you all for reading my note and using italki.

Tell me something about yourself - 1 I think the only question what I need to face in our daily life most is - 'Tell me something about yourself'. So that, as a part of my daily English writing practice, today I have decided to write something about it. Before answering this question, I would also like to mention that, though question is same, but the answer should be different based on situation. For example, I can face this question in following situation: - In a Job Interview - Become friend with new people at facebook, italki, skype etc. - When meeting with new client - Meeting new people at restaurant or official party - Events and so on. All the situations are different, so based on situation my answer should be different. When I face this question at job interview, I think I should say more about my works which are related to job, for what I applied or for what they are looking for. At online, when I meet new people, most of the time they are interested to know about personal things, like about my country, religion, hobby, family, relationship etc. Even when I attend any educational program, either a teacher or a student, I always face this question. Students ask me to know about my self. And of-course, the want to know about my experience on related subject. Similarly, when I participate any educational program, I face this question always. When I face this question in-front of a large crowed, I always feel afraid. I think only practice and only practice can help me to improve from this situation. That is all for today. Tomorrow I will write more about my answer on this question. Thank you.
