Learning Through Stories and Reading - Sunbeam Bhagwanpur

In today’s session at My Good School, Kartik Sir gave us a task. He gave us words like ‘jungle,’ 'binoculars,’ and ‘lamp,’ and asked us to make pairs, sentences, and stories using those words.

In the class, Sir read some students’ stories. They were amazing and eye-catching. Sir also gave us some tips and tricks for making our stories more attractive and presentable. It was exciting, and I learned how to write eye-catching stories.

After that, Jugjiv Sir started a story named “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library.” In this story, a girl was searching for something in the library. She asked the librarian for a book, and the librarian recommended one with amazing stories. I felt very interested in the story.

If I talk about My Good School, the most important thing I learned is proper reading. Teachers read with expression, and even stories that are not very interesting can feel very engaging. I loved some sentences in the story, like, “I can’t talk to you. Get your boss here.” I learnt the expressions one should use in such imperative sentences to make the understanding effective.

There was a character named Kiriyama who worked in an official production company. In this company, employees had to work all day beyond their regular working hours. That is why he was very exhausted. However, when he received office calls during lunch, he became happy.

Also, Manisha Ma’am asked us a hypothetical question: If you had to work at a job that you don’t like all day, how would you feel? If I’m honest, I would feel exhausted and irritated. Then she asked, if the work is something you like, how would you feel in that situation? For some time, most probably, I would enjoy it, but after that, I might not like it as much.

After that, we learned that being a good listener is very important. Through an example of customer service, we learned that a smiling customer means a satisfied customer. Sometimes, a person just wants to be listened to.

From this session, I learned how to be a good listener, writer, and communicator.

Today at My Good School, we were given a task. Some words were given by Sir, and everyone had to use those pairs of words to make sentences that contained the explained elements. We also had to turn them into a narrative tale.

The activity was very interesting and exciting. I had a great time listening to everyone’s stories. Sir also gave everyone tips and tricks to make our own stories more eye-catching and interesting than others.

Some stories were very breathtaking and exceptional to hear. There were many things I learned in the class, such as doing things without anyone’s help and making our minds more playful with words and sentences. Creating such tales and completing such tasks can make our brains much better at using words.

Next, we listened to a story titled “What You Are Looking For Is in the Library.” The story is about a person who wanted to find something. When she asked the librarian, the librarian gave her a book to read. It was a fascinating story and really surprised me. The story had a mix of emotions and values, and together they were a perfect combination.

The story also had twists and turns that highlighted important parts and made it more interesting. Honestly, it was a perfect, amazing, and thoughtful story that had deep truth hidden in it. This story is for people of all ages and can be read easily by everyone.
