    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.

    Long time ago, when I was in the 3rd standard, a particular English class I remember... ...very well because it was not a regular English class lesson. One day before, one of our teachers handed her the responsibility to bring a movie CD... ...that was a movie CD of the Ramayana that was dubbed in English for our English class. The very next day, we all lined up in a queue and went to the audio-visual room of our school... ...and there it was, the big screen where the Ramayana was displayed. Obviously, I saw it with friends and I absolutely loved it... ...because it was one of my first times to ever enjoy a movie with my friends. It was memorable and yes, I would absolutely love to do it again.

    In my English class, it was taught about the history of India. It had happened before couple of years before when I was in the university. The teacher enhanced the beauty of lesson was the history, the timeline as well as about the kings, those who were ruling the area. The history really it was a marvelous and adorable. Due to the war, the places and palaces, the fields and moreover the buildings of the people were destroyed by the enemies, but the kind king along with the help of local people constructed a new city for the people. When I saw and heard the history of the people, really I wondered. People and the king worked together for the betterment of the society. Specially, through the history of the particular place, we learned how much the people had interest on education. Through the education, they cultivated and learned the construction skill for constructing the new buildings, bridges and between rivers and they learned so many new techniques to cultivate. Thus, they brought huge differences in the society. When I heard this news through the English lesson, really it was a great inspiration as well as impression to me.

    I was in my 10th class and we were reading a very big drama, Julius and Caesar. My English teacher was Frank Cummer. In the class, I thought since it's a big drama, some people would be playing some characters and therefore it would be interesting to see how the drama proceeds. But surprisingly, no one was playing any role, yet the description given by a ma'am was fabulous. The voice modulation, the poses, the breaks, the expressions which our ma'am uses to describe the scene, they caught attention of everyone and kept the whole drama very interesting. I was really fascinated by her voice modulation, by her use of grammar and phrases which kept me so interested in the subject that I even didn't need to revisit the chapter, it was as if it was printed on my mind as a whole. Every day when we will come to class, we will hope and try to figure out what will happen next in the drama. All my friends will discuss among each other that how this character is good, how the other character is bad.

    The English class lesson which I enjoyed the most in my childhood was about national symbols. It was undertaken when I was in 4th grade and the teacher who undertook her name was Mrs. Sangeeta Katoch. So the lesson mainly focused on Indian national symbols which included national flag, national bird, national animal. So all these things were known to us by then but then the manner in which the teacher presented them were lot different and were very very good. So she used pictorial representations along with a handcrafted image of each of the symbol for us and students found it very very interesting. So by the end of class we were able to relate and it is now etched in our memory forever.

    I would like to talk about an English class lesson that I enjoyed recently. It was on YouTube and she was a child. Moreover, she is amazing. She teaches in a very good way, more understandable and more flexible. She just teaches variety of vocabularies in a very short time and she also says differences between words like staircases or steps, when to use staircases, when to use steps likewise. So I enjoy watching her videos and I learn a lot from her videos. She is not only an English teacher at a very small age, she is also a very good influencer. Her speeches are remarkable and noteworthy. So I like enjoying her classes.

    So, an English lesson which I enjoyed is during my 11th grade when my English teacher was a principal. So, she taught us a lecture on the business communication and how we have to present ourselves in front of the organization, how we have to dress up ourselves and it is about, she taught us about the confidence and attitude which we should carry in an interview or any working speaking test or something. Further, I would like to say that she was very friendly and in every class, if somebody comes in late, she would say that, come on sing a Hollywood song for us. In that very class, there was one person who came late and he sung a song for us and that I would never forget in my life. It was a very interesting class. Further, more in that class, she also narrated a story of her own personal life which included a very motivational speech about how she had come in that school from a normal teacher and how she became a principal. It was her first lecture when she was promoted to the principal role and we were lucky enough to have a teacher like that. She has shared many experiences from her.

    An English class system that I recently took which I enjoyed was the Leap Scholars class. It was for the IELTS preparation. The main aspect of that which was great was that it was just 99 rupees. They cover almost 15 classes for listening, speaking, writing and reading. However it's an online recording so it's not an interactive class. Despite that the lecturer managed to cover a lot of aspects and she understood the way students think to clarify their doubts on spot despite the fact that they didn't have the ability to ask those doubts. There were a lot of examples, practices, scenarios that could take place during the exams were considered. Additionally I joined the class last minute. So I had a lot to cover during a short period of time. When I did start the class everything felt like Greek and Latin. However over time while watching the videos and going through all the practice sessions I was able to improve myself to a better state compared to where I was when I began. Moreover the number of sample exercises they provide are quite beneficial. They show you where you stand, the kind of mistakes you make, what I can do to improve. Despite this I had to take the help of AI resources.

    So, I vividly remember a class that my English teacher took for the purpose of Ruskin Bond, his stories. Mr Ruskin Bond is famously known for his short stories and I thoroughly enjoyed that class because there was a role play that was being performed on that particular day with regards to that story. The visual effects and the story narration clearly appealed me and it not only made me understand the story but also made me to take moral lessons out of it and apply it in my daily life. This was very inspiring for me and post which I started reading a lot of books which was not initially there in my practice. This lesson has also taught me to how to be patient, to be calm and deal with the situation in a calmful manner.

    So, if I have, so one English class lesson that I really enjoyed was on conditionals and filler words. So, if you notice very closely that I sometimes use a variety of filler words while talking for like, you know, or write. So, it was a class lesson on how to replace filler words with pauses or something, some other phrases like, to be honest, if I have to say it to my mind, in my opinion, the class was really intriguing and it, it really helped me and boost my communication skills which eventually gave me a better edge in my corporate job. So, the teacher, so I took this class around five to six months ago and my teacher in the class was a really enthusiastic one. He not only taught us using a whiteboard and a pen and, you know, but he also showed us how to use different kind of phrases and different kind of sentences and with expressions. He not only gave us the bookish knowledge but also divided our class into different groups and made us speak in front of everybody so that our hesitation would go away and we talk more naturally, more comfortably and all in all it was a really great class. It, it was a class that really helped me out.
