The reason for which the students of Bangladesh are much too afraid of English, is vocabulary. With a view to brushing away this problem, I have prepared this sheet on synonyms and antonyms, pairs of words and compression of words. Some words are not fully synonymous but they have been included. Conspicuously, I can say that  these words must make the students competent for any kind of exam.
