: Sample Answer

The subject that I’d like to describe is Physics that was taught in our school. We had this subject in each year of our high school and each year a new teacher used to teach us the subject. Even we had to read physics in college as Science was my major. I remember Mr Alex, Burter, John, David and Mrs Jeniffer took Physics in different years. We were lucky to have good Physics teachers who could make the subject interesting and enjoyable

Our teachers used to tell us stories first and then would explain the theory, experiment or math of the textbooks. They would then relate the story with the study. Later they would explain us the real examples and facts. Sometimes they used to take us to the Physics labs and explain how something works. I have learned numerous things of physics from simple definition of mass to the complex explanation of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. My foundation of physics grew up and expanded with the help of those teachers

The subject itself is utterly interesting if one can have a passion for it. It is one such subject that one would start loving it if s/he starts understanding the underlying concepts of it. Physics is all around us and the lesson I learned from my School had helped me greatly throughout my higher academic years
