Introduction: Well, in my school days I really enjoyed learning English and it was my favourite subject as well, although not many students find learning languages interesting at all.

What was taught in the class? and When did you take the class? and Where it was? He always used to teach in an interactive and very interesting manner to make language learning fun as well as interesting.
One day he has to teach us how to write an essay if I am not wrong I was in 6th class when essay writing was introduced to us since the topic was also a little tricky as it was Tourism so most of the students were totally blank about the topic and about how to write an essay but to make this interesting and practical he decided to take us to the school library.
What did the teacher do that made you enjoy it? Reaching the library he divided the students into groups or and handed us over a few travel magazines and books to read. These magazines and books were full of tourist places photographs and interesting information about them.
After spending some time in Library, we were back in the classroom and here Mr Singh shared some interesting and useful vocabulary.
He taught us how we should introduce our topic, develop the body and finally conclude it which every student followed very clearly.

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 an English class/lesson that you enjoyed ”.
1. Whatarethebenefitsoflearningaforeignlanguage? There are many benefits of learning a foreign language. Firstly, it helps students academically, as the skills they learn in one language like comprehension and finding out the main theme of a paragraph can also be applied to their language. Secondly, it opens up more opportunities in the future. For example, it can help students pursue higher education in a foreign country. Similarly, a foreign language can help people secure a job in a company, which deals with foreign clients.
2. What are the benefits of being a foreign language teacher? The main benefit of teaching another language is that the person can enhance their knowledge of the language. I think people learn much more about the language when they teach than when they study it. Secondly, foreign languages also tend to get paid better and they might also get opportunities to travel abroad. Finally, I feel the language classes have the most diversity in terms of age. I have seen people as old as seventy learning French and German. So, it never gets boring teaching a foreign language as people get to meet different people.
3.Will computers replace foreign language teachers in the future? I think computers are certainly beneficial in helping students learn a foreign language. However, I do not think computers can replace language teachers completely. Computers can help students improve their grammar and pronunciation but they cannot help students develop or express ideas. Moreover, there are cultural aspects to a language, which can be only taught by a teacher in my opinion.
4. Is grammar the most difficult part about learning a foreign language? No, I don’t think grammar is the most difficult part as there are certain rules of grammar. I think it is logical and so it can be learnt with practice. However, pronunciation can be very tricky as I find there are no fixed rules to it.
5.Do you think grammar is important in language learning? Yes, I think grammar is really important in language learning. If the grammar is wrong, the sentence can give out a completely different meaning and it can lead to misunderstandings and embarrassment. For example, I taught, and I was taught mean completely different things, just the presence of was in the middle – changes the meaning completely.
