    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.

    An English class that I really enjoyed was the class that I took in my 11th grade. My teacher was Bina ma'am. She is always really cheerful and I have always found her very interesting. She would waddle into our class all happy just to teach her boring English lessons. But the chapter that day I found interesting was a poem called Quiet Places. This took place last year when I was in 12th grade. It was a very interesting idab but the way everyone spoke in our class made it seem so fun because I'd look back to this and hope that I was back there. This occurred in my schooling time and I really liked it.

    The best English class I ever had and taught me a lot of lesson was a lesson class in my 10th standard. Actually, it was a lesson named called Music that Changed the People's Lives. When I thought, when I first heard the name of the lesson, I thought, why does like music change the people's life, what can music can do changes to people like, because I think music is one of the art form, more than that I don't know anything about music. But after listen to that lesson, my way, my view of music was completely changed. Actually, the lesson was about a twin tower incident, when in 2001, the twin tower was collapsed and attacked by the terrorists. During that time, many people in the USA lost their jobs, lost their life, and many of them, many of them lose their strength, but after that, the only thing that encouraged them and make more confidence and give strength to them is the music. Actually, the music was the one which gave them more energy and confidence and the strength to regain their, restart their life with more energetic and positive vibes. And during that time, the government arranged a musical concert like an anthem to the people who have lost their lives and jobs in that incident and after that musical concert, everyone gained the confidence. Moreover, it is the best thing that the government has done, even though the government have provided many people with like subsidies and many amount as a fund, but the music gave them more confidence to restart their life with more positivity and energy.

    I enjoyed the English class that has Describe an English class lesson that you enjoyed poems of nature And I usually used to enjoy the English class that has the lessons of poems of some nature where it has multiple kinds of poems that gives complete meaning of the different types of natures in this world. These poems I used to hear when I am in my schooling which is located in my hometown, Nellore. My school name is called Sadhana High School and we had lots of English classes going on every day in the morning and also the thing that most attractive towards this English class that has poems is the teacher used to call the students to make the character in the poems representative in the action way that gives us more clarity towards the poem. So, she used to make the author in the one of the student, she used to call one student as the representer of the poem, she used to call one person as the poet describing the nature and there used to be some drama where the student can get more knowledge on that. So, the way I used to enjoy this is like I used to see some movie going on in front of me that gives me lots of joy and also I used to learn the poem as soon as possible whenever they express their feelings that gives me clarity on the each word vocabulary. I feel that time that is very much and joyful for us.

    Yeah, this is me, Alex Agustin Chose, who learned English to speak from my college life. As a local boy who has studied in Malayalam medium in his entire school life, it was very difficult to speak in English. But when I reached my college, there was a teacher, her name is Miss Anu, she taught me that English is very easy, but you have to remember the things or analyze the things what you are going to say. Yeah, it was very good. She taught me how to pronounce the things. I was enjoying that class, that was the only time I was enjoying English. But after that, when I passed out from my college, it was very difficult.

    So, an English lesson that I really enjoyed was in class 12th. My English teacher was Miss Sarika and she was a fabulous teacher. She was very enthusiastic whenever she taught. Moreover, she always tried to push a child's limits so that he can grow and flourish among the other students. She always encourages the students to participate in the activities that she organized in her class. So, it was a bright sunny day, which started with syllabus completion of English subject and the chapter we were studying was Tenali Rama. It is a great chapter, funny and mindy, it gives a lot of knowledge. After completing that chapter, because only the last part was left, the teacher moved towards her life's experiences and taught us values about how struggle is important in life and how irreplaceable hard work is. We had some funny and even deep conversations with each other. It was a very fruitful class, we learnt a lot about our journeys in life and how the competition has increased in the world. I really want to live that class again and it was so inspiring and enthusiastic.

    I enjoyed English class is the story of an axe man on the river. In that story there is a man who is a hard worker and he works by cutting the trees. One day he just dropped his iron axe into the water and he asked the river to return it and he prays for that. So it's the story of the axe and the man. The river presents him the golden axe. I listened this story when I was in 4th standard and I was pretty excited about this story when I looked at the text book and the pictures. It was a story telling teacher and she is beautiful, she is dark, tall, brown eyes woman. She is very beautiful and she teaches amazing. We used to understand every topic whatever she says we used to understand and we used to love the teacher and the subject as well. We pretty sure that this teacher not only teaches the lesson and also she teaches us the life, about the life and about the career whatever it is. We usually love the teacher and the subject also. Furthermore we don't need to take the PT class instead we take English class in our school and we love the school stories, English stories, work books, homework and so on.

    So I did my English studies in lots of school, but if I had to pinpoint any one instance where I have really enjoyed my English classes, it would be when I was in grade 5 and in Don Bosco School. So I had a madam there who taught us English grammar and I found it very funny about her teaching style because whenever she used to give us some kind of quiz or exercises, at the end of the exercise, she used to tell us, okay, most of you have got the answers correct and let's celebrate, but without clapping. She used to just take two fingers and told to like strike the palm of the other hand and that way we could celebrate without making any noise. So obviously it was very funny for me and I still remember because this has been like the other teachers with whom I had the opportunity to learn English. They were very strict and didn't make the class come out to be that much fun.

    Actually, I am not a person who listen the classes and bring the environmental like comfortable, but I do listen English classes in my school life. The class which I most loved in my school life is a story which my teacher told to the classes which is about socializing a topic, engaged all the students very well, they motivate the people to socialize in the society, like giving chance to tell what they thought, what they experience in the society like that, it's very interactive and fun loaded class that I ever had in my entire English class in my school journey. It's very memorable day or memorable class that I have in my school life because most of the people open up in that classes, they share their worst and good experience in the society they had made, also some are open up their very high secret that they experienced in the society and all, so it's very good to know that all the students who are being like happy, they have also some sort of sadness and that kind of thing. I also enjoyed a lot by attending that class.

    Well, when I joined my intermediate, there used to be an English class and initially just my teacher came to my class and started the topic about phonetics, where the topic is very new for all others in my class, but except me, yes, just I know the phonetics before. Well, I learned the phonetics in my school, where my English teacher, my principal has told me what are the phonetics, how we should pronounce them and how they are useful to us. I have more knowledge about phonetics, I thought it will be more easier than compared to all. When my English teacher has started the topic of phonetics in the class, all are just seeing, just look up, look at each other, they are so confused, they even they don't know what are these phonetics about and how many phonetics bubbles we have. They didn't have any basic knowledge of them, but when the sir asked me, has asked the doubts and asking the questions in the class, I always raise my hand to say the answers that excites me more and feels me more special in the class that everyone know have, doesn't have any knowledge except me and I'm very much excited and doing more tasks and depends upon the phonetics. So, everyone looks up at me and some few people approach me and ask what about these phonetics, how we should learn them.

    The most English, the English lesson I enjoyed a lot in my whole life is in my 10th academics during the grammar class which was held by our principal, Father Victor. I will not forget his name and his personality all over my life. As I am a product of missionary school, we used to call our principal Father and he taught the lesson of clauses. What are the clauses and how we can make use of clauses in our day to day life. However, the lesson was extremely good and so enthusiastic that father pointed at me and allowed me to and questioned me about the clauses and how it works and I gave a wonderful answer and he was so impressed to see that on the first of his class students are well answering and so he admired me in front of whole class and so it's memorable memory for me and apart from this he used to teach every Sunday, he used to teach extracurricular activities such as how to interact with people. Although he was a diplomatic person in my point of view and this was the lesson he taught
