WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
Teachers should make learning enjoyable and fun their students. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Use specific reasons and example to support your opinion.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Modern education has become highly competitive. Students have to withstand the pressure of completion along with the pressure of high expectations from parents. This often results in building up tension in the minds of young children. Therefore, I strongly support the idea that teachers should make learning more enjoyable and full of fun, especially if the students are of a tender age.
Let us place ourselves in the shoes of a student at a tender age. The brain tends to be tired with continuous and monotonous learning. When things are taught in an unusual and interesting manner, the child enjoys learning. This creates in the young mind a craving for knowledge on the subject. Such craving is possible only when the matter is presented in an attractive manner. There are far too many distractions in the life of a youngster. Only if learning is made interesting will it keep the student away from all these distractions.
Fun-filled classes also help in better retention. A student is more receptive if the subject matter is presented in an interesting and enjoyable manner. As a young child, I remember how my fourth standard teacher, Dorothy ma’am, dresses up in a yellow frock and stood in the Centre of the class to teach us the concepts of rotation and revolution. Then, in the seventh standard, we learnt about the Mutiny of 1857 by enacting scenes from the mutiny. This way, we learnt the whole thing without memorization.
The student is not the only gainer here. The teacher also gets immense satisfaction from interacting with the student in an interesting manner. Her involvement also brings in additional inputs, as the mind keeps fresh and she feels motivated to think of novel ways to add fun to learning.
