Sample Answer:
- Well, English has always been my favorite subject and I have enjoyed English classes since my school days.
- Here I would like to mention an English class which I attended three years ago and really enjoyed.
- This class was related to IELTS essay writing.
- Actually, 3 years back, when I was planning to move abroad for higher studies, I had joined an IELTS coaching institute in Ludhiana.
- They invited the best teacher in the town to deliver the lecture on the valuable techniques of essay writing.
- I liked this class because it was quite different from an ordinary essay writing class in any institute.
- As it was a very interactive class where the instructor took the views of all the students regarding the statement of essay written on the whiteboard.
- Then she directed us to focus on ‘what the question is actually asking from us’.
- She mentioned that 80% of the times students fail to achieve the target score in writing is that students usually do not pay attention to the ‘what is asked’ in the question.
- Rather than doing this, they focus on other things like fancy vocabulary or more ideas which results in deviation from the question’s demand and lesser score.
- She also showed her essay samples in the class.
- At the end, she dictated the whole essay in the class which helped us significantly in improving our essay writing skills.
- So, it was something we can call ‘a live writing class’ in the most interactive way possible, which made me enjoy it a lot.
