    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.

    In my school days, I had a teacher named Linka Raja. He was a teacher to teach English and he told me a little story on money. How to use the money and how the money is working on our lives. I think that first changed my mindset about money and I'm more on to investment after that. So still today, I was very happy with what the decision he had taken. Because the story really insisted me to invest and do some kind of investment in gold, silver, everything that I had invested. So he really told it clear that if you are planning to buy any asset, we should see that asset should make us some money or not. Always our people are thinking that they buy asset for their future goal. But what is asset is that asset should work on present and which should make some money for us. That is what called asset. He was manifestation, the clear statement and still I didn't see anywhere that anyone teach about money. He is the only one who taught me about money.

    Well, there are a plethora of class lessons which I remember, or I can say I enjoy it. But one such class lesson which I can reminisce is of 10th standard in my school time. There was a teacher named Ruchi. She was loved by everyone in our school. She was telling us about a lesson. There was a chapter in our book called Mother turned 60. So she was reading out the chapter and making us understand the story. It was an emotional lesson and she used real world examples to make us students understand about the storyline. The story was about the mother turning 60 and she was giving examples about our grandmothers. The story was telling how our mothers change in physical appearance also. She made all of us very emotional because she was talking about remembering our grandmothers. She also told us that our mother will also turn 60 at some point and how they will change in terms of appearance and psychological.

    I took an English class where we learned how to, how to learn comprehension, that is reading a paragraph and answering questions. It was just a few weeks. I took this class and the best thing was it was from home, it was an online note which I left about the class and it was scheduled prior to a month, prior to a month and the teacher did a great thing. She actually asked each and every one of us different questions about what she had asked which made the class much more interesting and additionally she took small tests where she gave us small paragraphs to read and answer the questions that were on the screen one by one which made it easier for us to understand what the lecture was about and we could take away a lot of important things from the lecture. I took a lot of notes during this which helped me for the elephant test that I was going to take and the overall demeanour of the teacher was really good. She was very joyful and happy and she made everyone feel included. She cleared everyone's doubts which was amusing and we had a great time in the class.

    Well, in this contemporary epoch, correct knowledge of the English language is a must. Have to lead our careers toward an impressive growth trajectory. Being a career-oriented person, I always try my best to improve my English. Due to this reason, I have attended numerous English improvement classes, however, one is unique and worth mentioning here. This class was about uses of adjectives in English. Reasonable uses of adjectives is a prudent approach to enhancing your English and writing skills. The uses of adjectives help us to make our sentences look alluring. Apart from this, it assists us in creating good impressions regarding us in a listener's mind during day-to-day conversation in English. For example, a simple sentence like, Due to our sport, I have achieved so much in my life, become better when we use the adjectives unabated. Due to your unabated sport, I have achieved so much in my life. The second sentence looks and sounds more appealing than the first one. This is how the uses of adjectives can bring a paradigm shift. I took classes last month, an institute near to my home arranged the lecture and a seasoned trainer from England, Mr. Gordon gave it.

    One of the English lessons that I had been through in my school times was something that I remember till date that was a poem. So the poem described how the poet tries to give an example and describe the way that the children are not the responsibilities of the parents but the children are meant to be what they want to be. So here we could see that the parents should not force their opinions on their children because they are just a gateway through which the children have been brought into the world. Whatever dreams that the parents could not fulfill should not be forced onto them and instead any child who wants to pursue in any of the streams of academics, sports has to be encouraged because children can excel in what they want in a much better rate than pursuing anything that they are not much interested in. So the poet has put it in a very beautiful way telling that the parents are just there to guide the child till he or she reaches their goal. So this poem, the way my teacher had explained us made us realize that we should never be always under the influence of what we are being told. Instead we should be able to understand what we want and stand up to that and also talk to our parents for their guidance on the same.

    English is a subject that is being taught to me since I was a kid and till now it is a part of my curriculum. When I was in grade 12, I was taught a summary, actually it was a chapter which was known as Around the World in 80 Days, it was all about a story, basically a novel which was summarized and this lecture was conducted online as it was during the Covid era. So we were told that we'll have to attend classes at our home and the teacher would explain it through room app, so one thing that made it really good for me was the way my teacher explained that chapter to me because she not only explained the chapter but also just immersed us in the story, usually what many teachers do is they just explain what is written in the textbook but she gave a true idea about what the chapter was all about and she conducted the lecture in such a compelling way that it became really interesting and moreover me and my friends were really attracted towards it.
