    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.

    Today I would like to describe an English lesson that I have enjoyed a lot. So this is the lesson which I enjoyed when I was in my college doing my graduation degree. There was a company named Mahindra Mindra and the teacher who gave this lesson is the Rubina Daniel. She was very sweet and she is sweet and calm. So one day when she was giving the lecture she told us how to communicate with the people confidently. And I loved the way she taught us because after the lecture I feel very confident because I gained confidence with the help of the skills they tell us and how to generate it in the daily life. And I feel very good. Moreover, in the lesson she taught us to be frankly speak with the people and be polite and use the polite manner also. Furthermore, he told the verbs and different vocabulary which we use on the daily basis. And I think this is the best part that he described us because English language is very good. And even if someone knows how to speak the confidence which he gave in this lecture is more important because I feel very good after the lecture.

    When I was in 10th grade, my teacher taught me a good English lesson i.e Anne Frank which we all know about her. She is a teenager who wrote a very good diary routine about her classmates, what the struggle she had came from and how her life went when the world war had happened. And in this lesson, there is a very meaningful and a very thought-provoking and heart-touching meaning where I felt that every teenager must have a ideological thinking like Anne Frank. She is a very good supporter for her father and she loved her father.

    The English lesson I enjoyed the most The English class lesson that I enjoyed the most will be from my 12th grade English textbook. The story name is Hore Gallu. It was explained by one of my favorite teacher Asha ma'am. The reason why I love this story is because of its genre. It was a folklore and the message the story gave was very nice. In addition to that, I found the story very engaging and catchy. At the end of the class, I was asked to manage a team to make that story into a play which was my favorite part about that class. The story happened in a village. It was about the stone bench under the big mango tree. I still remember every character of that story. I felt very close to each of that characters and I felt very relatable. I also came to know how greatly the story is portrayed. Every bit of the scene is explained to perfection. The story line is also very nice because it is a story that a grandfather is telling to their little grandchildren and the children are very enthusiastic minds. I really enjoyed playing as the grandpa who I played in the play.

    On 12th of October, 2024, our English teacher walked into class right after the investiture ceremony of our batch. Everyone had gotten positions, portfolios, some were crying, some were happy, overjoyed, and well, no one was in the mood for studying. So we all brainstormed and thought it's time for a discussion class, which I did not know ended up being one of my favourite classes in school. The discussion was about how to feel happy for someone who has gotten what you wanted. The discussion took place in many platforms. On one side, people argued that this discussion has to be divided into two parts, that being that whether the person who has gotten it deserved it or not, and whether the person who has gotten it has gotten it only due to what people can only call sticking up to the teacher, which is obviously not fair. So while taking the discussion, I had just gotten the position of the table tennis captain, and I really thought it was fair. However, there was this one magazine called News and Views that I had been working for for a long time. And it had been given to another girl saying that one person cannot be held responsible for so many posts. It truly broke my heart. But I knew that if I take it personally, then the magazine will truly suffer. And it wasn't the magazine's fault after all. So the person who had actually gotten the magazine, I had given my research of the next issue to that person. And while discussing this in the class, the teacher was quite impressed by this, and we discussed quite a lot of values that were involved.
