Coleridge's poem, a ballad, narrates the harrowing sea-voyage about an old mariner who at one point on his journey didn't have any water to drink because of a curse. Not only the cursed mariner, we also know how important drinking water is in our life. We know we cannot survive without it. In fact, two-thirds of our body is made up of water.

Education aims at bringing about positive changes in our behaviour. It helps us try to change our lives as well as the society we live in. Education that does not illuminate our minds or does not inspire us to work for the community is not complete at all. Education is not all about getting grades or receiving certificates—we use education to make life better. We expect to apply the knowledge, skills and values that we have learned in a classroom in our engagement with the world that lies outside.

৮. Unclear Pronoun References
সংশোধিত paragraph:
Women are nowadays as important as men in society. They constitute nearly half of the total population. We cannot make real progress by keeping half of our population in darkness. Without the uplift of women, real progress is not at all possible. Again, without education, women cannot be uplifted. So, proper education should be given to women so that they can work hand in hand with men in all development programmes.
প্রধান ভুল pronoun:
She → They
half of it → half of our population
it is not at all possible → real progress is not at all possible
her → women

Beauty, a beautiful thing, is easy to say but difficult to define. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. A man, who is always in quest of beauty, is always in quest of beauty. We often fail to find beauty. There are many objects which easily catch our attention. They are very common. The sweet smile of a child sitting in the lap of its mother is very beautiful. A butterfly flying in the sky also attracts our attention.
