Describe a subject taught in your school. v.1

Describe a subject taught in your school. You should Say: what subject it was and who taught it how the teacher taught it what you learned from the class and explain how it helped you. Follow-up Questions: • Is there any difference between the traditional and modern educational systems? • What are the pros and cons of the current education system in your country? • Do you think it is necessary to give comment or criticism to teachers? • How can a teacher make learning more interesting? • Are there any subjects that shouldn’t be taught in school? Why? • How can the school help students overcome a problem with a certain subject? • Do you think that visiting different websites has benefits for a student?     Model Answer 1: As a student of business administration, I had to study all the subjects of business faculty, but one subject, which I found to be unique and interesting during my university, was “Marketing”. But, it became even more interesting when I decided to study the subject with one of the most accomplished academics called Mr Chun Lee. Mr Chun had a unique way of teaching whether he was teaching the basic principles of marketing, consumer behaviour, principle of retailing, new product management, advertising management, pricing policy, new product development or any other marketing concepts, In fact, Mr Lee would assume that, as surprising as it may sound, all of the students in his marketing class was “expert marketeer” and that his students would teach him how to become an expert marketing professional. Besides, he would advise us to consider “marketing” always as a way to “help” consumers instead of aiming at “profiteering” because such practice would help ensure “goodwill” among the prospective consumers in the long run. However, the best aspect, in my opinion, of the teaching methods of Mr Lee was that he didn’t really have any formal test or examination in order to test how much we had learned in his class, and instead all he had for us was some random “case studies”. So, how much exactly did the class of Mr Lee help me? Well, whatever I learned from Mr Lee has helped me a lot in real and professional world as it has taught me the art of “listening” (yes, one has to be a really good “listener” if he/she wants to be an expert “Marketeer”) because listening is probably is the most important part of learning how to be an “effective communicator”. Besides, it has also helped me to become habitually aware of the “trends” in different kinds of industries so that I can adjust and adapt accordingly in order to become a successful professional. Finally, it has also helped me to understand the needs of another human being (a “customer” in marketing “term”), not only in the professional sphere but also in personal space, and thus improving the relationship with others in the real world.   Sample Answer 2: Thank you very much for this great cue card topic. The subject I would like to talk about is physics and it was taught in our high school as a compulsory subject. We had this subject every year in our high school curriculum and each year a new teacher used to teach us physics. I remember Mr Alex, Burter, John, David and Mrs Jeniffer teaching us physics in different years in my high school. We were lucky to have some great teachers who taught us physics and they had a great way of teaching. Their interesting discussions made the subject worth enjoying. Our teachers used to tell us fascinating stories first and then relate them to the theory, experiment and mathematics of the textbooks. They often explained the life and dedication of a scientist before they started explaining the intricacies of the topic. Sometimes they used to take us to the physics labs and explain how something works. I have learned numerous aspects of physics - from the simple definition of mass to the complex explanation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, from those discussions and lectures. My foundation of physics was built at that time and later extended with the help of those teachers. The subject itself is utterly interesting if someone has passions for it. Physics is a subject that seems difficult at first but one would start loving it if s/he starts to understand the underlying concepts of it. Physics is all around us and the lessons I learned from my school had helped me greatly throughout my academic years.
