You should say:
·
what it was
·
when you studied the subject
·
why you didn’t like it before
·
and explain why you have an
interest in it now.
As
a high school student, I learned a number of subjects. Among them, I was not
really into history at the first time. The reason was really simple: I disliked
my teacher’s method of teaching. It was boring.
He
was so lazy. He just copied words, facts, and figures from the book to the
board and made us write down what he wrote. Then he told us to memorize all
information if we did not want to receive a low score for this subject. This
made me and my classmates sick.
Later
when I grew older, I had a chance to watch a movie about Vietnamese history.
The movie is about King Ly Cong Uan relocating the capital city from Ninh Binh
to Hanoi more than a thousand years ago. I really liked the film and realized
that history is not as boring as I thought. After that, I managed to read more
historical articles and watched more historical movies, and now I am really
interested in history.
I
think the Ministry of Education should adjust the school curriculum or train
teachers on how to deliver history lessons more successfully and attractively.
Without any action, many Vietnamese pupils still hold a negative attitude
towards history.
Well,
I’m afraid that the subject that I didn’t like in my high school was physics.
But I had to learn it because of the exams, you know. It was one of the
compulsory courses during my entire middle school for six years.
My
physics teacher always tended to be demanding with us, he seemed like making
the abstract theory more obscure, and sometimes I didn’t understand what my
teacher had said, and he also left endless homework to us, which really made me
frustrated. I felt that physics was the most challenging subject in the world.
Another
reason was that there were too many abstract formulas I had to remember. You
know, I was not good at memorizing things, so I often used the incorrect
formula in the exams, and made lots of mistakes, and got low marks as a result.
But after I grew up, I found that physics was a really indispensable curriculum
in school education because it could help me develop the logical and rigorous
thinking pattern so that I sometimes found myself a critical thinker. Besides,
with the knowledge of physics, I’m aware of many physical phenomena around me,
such as optics, mechanism, which helps me understand the intrinsic principle of
many devices.
