Lesson 2 : Studies , Work , Education
PART 1 :
I’m a student at “(name of the institution)” in “(name of the country)” right now. I am in my final semester of Civil Engineering. Recently, I have got a job offer through the campus hiring at “name of company”.
Well, I’m majoring in Accountancy, so as you can guess, I deal a lot with numbers and figures day in, day out. It can be overwhelming at times, but I think that I have a knack for mathematics and calculations, so it’s okay.
There are many reasons for my choice. Primarily, I have an interest in Accountancy. Another reason could be because of Accountancy itself since I’ve found that my personality has changed positively. I’ve become more patient and skillful.
Well, for the most part, I’d say it’s the workload. I mean there are so many assignments, and students are always under a lot of pressure to meet deadlines. But on the other hand, exams are a piece of cake. They are entirely predictable, and I can pretty much breeze through them with a bit of revision.
I guess the aspect I find most enjoyable is the environment. I mean, I get to study in English-speaking classrooms, and the facilities are top-notch; I mean, all the classrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with projectors. My friends and teachers are all adorable, so, all in all, it’s a great place to study.
I prefer studying in the morning when I tend to be more alert and focused. There is less noise compared to the rest of the day and after the morning yoga session, which is part of my daily routine, I feel energized to handle any difficulty with patience.
Due to the variety of educational tools, I have no dearth of options. So, I mostly rely on online research databases, digital textbooks, and productivity tools like note-taking apps. Additionally, video conferencing platforms and collaborative online spaces facilitate group discussions and project work, enhancing my overall learning experience.
Thank you for asking this question. Elementary education in our country is compulsory for all children below 14 and is supported by the government. Government and commercial groups are also in charge of managing and overseeing the secondary and postsecondary education systems. Private educational institutions, on the other hand, are required to use a portion of the national curricula and typically adhere to their own syllabus. Higher education is provided in English in many colleges and all universities. In our nation, technical and vocational schools and universities are well-liked, and they mostly provide degrees and certification
As a science student, my future study plans involve pursuing an advanced degree in a specific scientific discipline to deepen my understanding of fundamental principles and engage in cutting-edge research. Also, I aspire to contribute to the scientific community by exploring innovative solutions to real-world problems and participating in collaborative projects.
I am taking the IELTS test as an English literature student to fulfill the language proficiency requirements for potential academic pursuits abroad, such as enrolling in a Master’s program in (name of university). Achieving a high IELTS score is crucial for demonstrating my ability to comprehend complex literary texts, engage in scholarly discussions, and contribute effectively to an English-speaking academic environment. Ultimately, it opens doors to diverse global opportunities in the field of English literature and allows me to connect with a broader community of scholars.

Part 3
Rather than adding more courses, I think most of those we already have will become electives. Students in my country are already studying too many subjects, most of which they have no interest in. When I was in school, I had 13 mandatory subjects, and I can’t recall what I learned in half of them.
Well, I’m majoring in Accountancy, so as you can guess, I deal a lot with numbers and figures day in, day out. It can be overwhelming at times, but I think that I have a knack for mathematics and calculations, so it’s okay.
Students in my country usually take extra classes after school, which are often taught by their own teachers or private tutors. If students do not have classes, many of them hang out with friends in the afternoon before going home to have dinner and do their homework.
Yes, to a certain extent. I think subjects like Maths, and learning at least one foreign language should be compulsory for all. Other courses like Music and art works should be optional because more students are interested in professional jobs these days.
A teacher should be a proper mentor to their students, and create a positive learning environment. This as a result would help them in their personal growth. The teachers by making the classroom a safe space and a welcoming environment, can make the students feel valued and be motivated to learn the lessons.
No. The subjects students learn are all dictated by the Ministry of Education. In my experience, all students have at least one subject they detest. Many subjects students want to learn aren’t even available.
I think the schools in the future will focus more on application of fundamental concepts to real-world problems instead of plain rote learning. I also think – and hope – that there will be a greater emphasis on the all-round development of the student as an individual.
Teaching has changed in my country, India over the past few years. This is because the teachers and the institutions have started giving much importance for personal development as well as academics. These days teachers are very much expected to be encouraging and help the students with personal growth than just concentrating on the books.
