Introduction:
During the Covid lockdown, I was stuck at home.
What is it? andHow you learnt it?
So, I asked my mother to teach me 3D origami.
A few years ago, my mother had learned 3D origami from the internet.
She made these beautiful flower vases and swans with paper pieces.
They really looked beautiful, and we decorated our house with them.
Every time someone visited us, they used to ask us about how we made them.
So, last year, I asked my mother to teach me 3D origami.
I had much free time, and so I practised it.
3D origami is not tough, but there is a learning curve.
It takes some time to learn how to fold pieces and give them the 3D look.
Basically, we fold papers making small pockets in them, and the other pieces fit in these pockets.
Then, nearly any shape can be given to the pieces.
So, first, I would teach anyone how the paper pieces need to be cut and how they need to be folded.
Learning how to give shape to the pieces is a lot about practice and experience.
I found this part very difficult in the beginning, but now it seems very easy.
How can you teach others this skill?
So, I would tell others to be patient and just keep experimenting.
There are also some YouTube videos, which have some ideas about different shapes we can make.
That’s how I made my first few designs, but now I have started experimenting as well.
How do you feel about this skill?
I am really proud of this skill.
I don’t think I am an expert, and I am good enough to get compliments when someone sees the 3D shapes I made.
I recently made an aeroplane, and it was one of the most intricate designs I have made until now.
IELTS Speaking Part 3 : Follow up Questions
Here some examples of follow up questions that you may asked during your speaking part 3 by examiner related to cue card “describe a skill that you can teach other people”.
1. Should teachers be funny when they teach? Humour is a universal communication phenomenon, and people tend to seek others who make them laugh. However, the classroom is not typically associated/ has no relation with laughter or humorous interaction. Education has always traditionally been thought of as a serious undertaking, but if a teacher has a good sense of humour and friendly nature, it can improve the relationship of a teacher with their student. Students can share their problems without any hesitation. But more friendly nature may disturb the class discipline. OR Yes, I think teachers should employ the use of humour while teaching. It lightens the class atmosphere and improves the relationship between students and teachers. In other words, students feel comfortable discussing their doubts and problems with the teachers. However, teachers must learn when to be strict; otherwise, it can impact classroom discipline.
2. What qualities should teachers have? A teacher can make a world of difference in a student’s life, that impacting everything means from their classroom learning to their long term success. Good teachers are strong communicators. By effective communication, a teacher can explain a subject very well. A teacher should be a good listener The teacher should understand and listen to the student’s problem before giving any decision. Good teachers should be adaptable means; they have the quality to adjust in any environment. OR Firstly, I think the most important skill that teachers should have is good communication skills. They need to understand how to teach in simple words. Secondly, they should be good observers. They need to be able to pick up the fears and anxieties students have. Only then they can build their confidence. Finally, teaching is about patience. Teachers need to be ready to explain the concepts repeatedly if their students are facing any difficulty.
3. Which do you think are more important practical skills or academic skills? I think they are dependent on each other. If we have theoretical knowledge, then we can easily do it practically. But if we know or learn only one skill, then our study is incomplete. OR Practical skills and academic skills have their own importance. I think it depends upon the person’s profession. If a person wants to be a teacher, a lawyer, or anything in academics, they need to be an expert in academics. However, in other fields like business, communication skills etcetera, are more important.
4. Which age group is the best age for learning? According to my perception, a person can learn new thing at any age because it makes the mind more active and up to date. For example, nowadays we use many new technological equipment types daily compared to past, so elders must learn new techniques because new methods make their work easy and save time. Another fact is that child age is the best age to learn new things. OR I am a strong believer in the fact that there is no age for learning. We can learn anything at any age. And actually, I believe that we should keep learning new skills as it keeps the mind sharp and active.
