    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    I'd like to talk about an area of science that I am interested in and what I would like to do and what I'd like to do more to learn about it. So a branch in science that I'm really interested in is biology. It has really profoundly impacted my life since when I was small. I have seen my parents working in a hospital for the longest time. And moreover they have impacted my life because they have brought the science of the human body, how it works, the pharmacology and the pathology back home. I always listen to them speaking to others about the same so it has always intrigued me to learn more about the human body. And when I first came across the subject biology, human biology in 6th grade, it was my teacher who first introduced me to biology. And she was an amazing teacher with so much grace and so much passion. She used to teach biology that made me too interested into the same subject. And what I would like to do more to learn about it is, I am presently pursuing my MBBS and my whole life is involved with learning. I am a lifelong learner. So I'd like to study more, that is do my postgraduate and study more about the human body, do more researches on the human body. Involve myself more into researches, into what other new medications and what other new innovations could be done to free ourselves from diseases. It's something that I would like to invest myself in. Biology for me has been a passion since I was a child. So I'd like to invest more time into it and it has created a great impact on me.

    There are plethora of interest I have right now in the world of science but today I would like to share about one specific interest which is the pharmacology subject. Actually I have recently passed my bachelors in pharmacy from Aryan school of pharmacy and bio research institute and at that time I decided to study more in the pharmacology subject because it has some kind of different deep knowledge about the drugs work on the body. This subject includes some kind of mechanisms like absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drug throughout the body. So I have that kind of interest to know about every stage of the drug in our body. In addition there is some kind of disease which are curable and which are not curable like cancer which is in the pharmacological subject and I want to research about it more and more because right now our society don't have any kind of medicine to cure the cancer. Apart from that the scope of the pharmacology subject is very high and after the all kind of education about the pharmacological subject you can apply for the clinical research associate in any CRO clinical research organization and it is the very big opportunity for any person. So from the subject of pharmacology you can make that kind of knowledge towards the health sciences.

    Band 6-7

    The area of science which I am interested in and would like to learn more about is robotics. Actually I came to know about robotics from my high school. Once there was an exhibition going on and there was a robotics exhibition going on in my college. There were top rated companies which came to enhance their skill and development studies in our college. It was really good to know about robotics and I gained an interest from that. I got information about robotics from the people who came for their exhibition in my college. They gave us a brief idea about robotics and how all these things work. How the robotics have changed the life of a person and the life of an individual. How efficient it can be and how it can help in our future. The interest I have in this is that I wanted to build a really good robotics which in future would help in many forms. Which makes the life easier of the individual and even of the company.

    well I'm interested in the robotics surgery nowadays because it's trending the illusion of AI and robotics in medical field is trending nowadays when I meet recently to my friend he's a general surgeon working as a general surgeon in hospital he informed or gave me the information about this robotic surgery and he also told me that how important and how precisely the robotic surgeries are done and it was very superb so that way I got to know about the robotic surgery and I also watched some videos about the robotic surgery on YouTube and it was so awesome that they how they work how they are designed to do the surgeries and also their participation of human doctors is also needed in the robotic surgery and I like it because it can help the recent health issues where common mistakes could be done by humans so it is possible that even a doctor can do a mistake but robots are programmed in that way that the silly mistakes can be ignored or can be overcome over there and hence it is very helpful tool nowadays in medical field and many kind of surgeries are done like minor surgeries of lipotomy

    Band 6-7

    an area of science biology which is my favorite area I like this area very the most because biology has many things like human evolution of humans many living creatures species and when I was in 8th standard I came to know I was good at this area area of biology because biology helps how human body functions not only human body but animals insects and plants how the mechanism works in a human body how brain nervous system performs and and it is a magical thing that how the digestion and respiratory system performs works and we cannot even imagine how all these things are created it is I feel like this is the thing which is done very practically sometimes I do believe in God because seeing such a mechanism in human body I feel wondered

    Band 6-7

    I always loved biology from this area of science. I fell in love with biology in class 11. I love biology because there is so much to learn about humans, plants, trees, orgasms and so many things. In biology we learn about how human beings are born to death and how their organs work and many things. We study about human beings as well as plants. We learn about plants, how they respire, what are their roots, how they reproduce and many things. Biology is so interesting and always fascinated me so I always love to learn biology more and more. That's why I am doing my Bachelors in MSBSC Biology.

    Band 6-7

    The stream of that I have an interest in would be biology, specifically marine biology. Although I have not taken anything to do with science or biology, I have been studying media and communication for the past three years in my degree and that's what I'm going to be pursuing in the future, but it is something that has always interested me and is something that I'm fascinated about. So if I did have a chance to go back and take something else, if I had to take something else, I would probably like to learn more about marine biology and the underwater life and the aspects that created what it is and the super diverse ecosystem that lives underwater.

    Band 6-7

    I am very interested in robotics. When I was 10, I watched a film called Robo. In that film, that film is basically based on Android Humanoid Robo, which does all the work of what can human do. From that time onwards, I started doing research in robotics. Anyhow, I didn't took a course in my B.Tech, but still one of my friend is doing the course. In my free time, I usually go to my friend and ask her related robotics.

    From the childhood, I had a great passion for science and technology, but I am more interested in doing biotechnology, but due to some reasons I couldn't pursue my bachelors there, and I opted for electronics and communication. Even though it is a bold technology with the antenna and the signals, it was not a problem for me. Somehow I completed my bachelors in getting up and down marks. And I came through this source called AI, which explores as artificial intelligence. I came to know about this recently because of the blooming of the AI text videos in the social media. We can see many of the people are creating videos in AI and I find it attractive because it makes people to combine or it makes the people together even if they are far. I wanted to know about the technology particularly, and then after a few months my college opened a new blog for that, but I was really sad, but I was really sad because I couldn't get joined to that blog as I was pursuing electronics. Then I started to explore more about that feature. Then I got to know it has a pros and cons because AI is not only good, but even it's showing a negative effect or impact on society. People are not using it in a proper way and there is more disadvantages

    Yeah, the science, biology, the area of science where some kind of things will be held, some kind of programs regarding science will be held, that is near my friend's house. One fine day when I, my friends started, all of my friends were speaking about that particular science area. Till then I didn't know about that, after that I came to know the importance and the programs they will conduct and all the activities they will do in that particular science area. I literally fell in love with that and since then I wanted to go meet the people who make all the activities, experiments in the science lab, science area and all, the robotics and all stuff. That's where I'm interested in, yeah, since childhood I'm very much fond of learning Also there's one speciality for that science area, there was, yeah, it was only used to hold on weekends till 6 o'clock to 9 am, so I used to trouble my father a lot and I used to go there, spend a lot of my time. I really felt very interesting.
