ZUBAIDA NOOR KHAN
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN ENGLISH
COMILLA VICTORIA GOVT. COLLEGE
HELLO!
My beloved ,most affectionate students. How are you? Unfortunately, for many days, we are detached with each other. All of you are aware of the fact that we are passing a very critical time. The whole world is hardly hit by the attack of the pandemic – Covid -19. As a
preventive measure, like all other educational institutions across the country, the academic activities of our college are also suspended now. Actually, it has to be closed in compliance with the Govt. order --- that is, stay home and prevent the spreading of the Corona Virus . College authority specially our Honorable Principal Professor Md. Ruhul Amin Bhuiyan &
Vice Principal Professor Dr. Abu Zafor Khan are concerned about your study in this adverse situation.
Though, you have to be at your home now for your own safety, you can’t be away from your regular studies. Being a student, your first and foremost duty is to study. Otherwise, it will have a bad impact on your upcoming exams. You were already supposed to attend your first year final exam which was scheduled to be started from 25 March. Keeping that exam date in our concern, we had already finished our assigned syllabus. But, you must agree that lack of practice , that completion will be out of your memory very soon. So, what you will have to do now ? You will have to be regular with your studies. With a view to accelerating your practice regularly, I’ve given you some syllabus included items to be studied and after finishing the
studying, you are asked to finish the homework and submit it to my mail by 08 April.
