Reflection of my first English class in KUSOM

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I IS EVERYONE A SCIENTIST 13th December, 2022 For today's lesson, Mr. Eak divided the class into two groups and decided to hold a mock debate between the two groups on the topic "Everyone is a Scientist." Kashish's group opposed the move, while my group (group Aditya) supported it. This was a very engaging and productive session that enhanced both our knowledge and our ability to debate. In the debate session, the essay "Everyone Is a Scientist" discussed how everyone is a scientist in some sense because they are constantly learning and solving problems on their own. Additionally, he discusses how one may distinguish a true scientist from someone who does not have experience, knowledge, or competence in his field of inquiry. I agree with the main point of the essay. As each person finds new things every day of his or her life, I also think that everyone is or may be a scientist. Similar to how scientists approach problems, he follows the sa...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I HITCHHIKER Dr. Eak Dawadi's class began at the usual time. Today we were taught Roald Dahl's short story "The Hitchhiker." The story tells how one guy dealt with getting a speeding ticket. In the story, the narrator is driving to London when he stops to pick up a hitchhiker. The narrator explains that he always stops for hitchhikers because he used to be one and knows how difficult it can be. The narrator and hitchhiker get to talking, and the hitchhiker becomes very secretive when the narrator asks what he does. However, the narrator doesn't push the issue; again, he remembers that an endless barrage of questions can be annoying for a hitchhiker. Eventually they discuss the narrator's nice car, and the narrator claims it can go 129 miles per hour. The hitchhiker says there is no way it can actually go that fast; the manufacturers probably lied to him. This is a really interesting tale. It features complexity and story twists. It is intrigu...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I THE LOTTERLY Eak Sir came to our class today and inquired as to whether any of us had ever won the lottery. Then, one of our friends related his story of winning the lottery when he was still in school. Sir then decided to call the entire class to the front and direct them to stand in accordance with their height. Each male had to select two girls to make a team. Following team creation, he assigned a job to each group. Our group was given the assignment to find all the characters' names in the chapter. Following group presentations, Sir gave us a quick overview of what the chapter really covered. The backdrop for the narrative is a little American community. Every year, there is a tradition of holding a lottery in which the winner is selected among the villages. In contrast to previous lotteries, the lottery winner is sacrificed by the villagers to ensure a bountiful harvest of their crops. Mr. Summers, the village's oldest man, announces a lottery in which...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I SWORD OF DAMOCLES 20th October 2022   After a long absence, Dr. Dawadi attended English class today. We discovered that he had been in an accident. We resumed class after hearing the entire story from Dr. Dawadi. Last week, Dr. Dawadi taught us a lesson: school is bad for children. Today, he taught us an ancient story, "The Sword of Damocles." As a part of our participation, Dr. Dawadi made us read the literature and analyze it.  The legend has it that Damocles, a courtier in the palace of Dionysius II, frequently bemoaned to his king Dionysius II his misfortune, which doomed him to a life of squalor and hardship. He often told King Dionysius that he was fortunate to have all the riches and comforts he desired. So, Dionysius II made Damocles an offer to trade roles for the day. However, Dionysius warned Damocles that the burden of being a king was so great that he must find a means to nev...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I AFTER CHHATH October 31, 2022 Today was the first day of class after Tihar and Chhath ;one of the biggest holidays for Hindus.As usual, Dr. Duwadi  arrived on time for class, and we immediately got to talking about how Chhath had recently become more well-known. Sir urged us to write about it, so we followed suit. The interesting thing is that several of our pals were late to class, and Dr. Duwadi gave them an assignment on "Why should latecomers be permitted in class?" I was instructed to write about why Chhath is popular nowadays. I started to write about it. Nepal, like the United States, is a secular country, which means it is religiously neutral, and it is becoming more and more accessible for everyone. Migration is a regular occurrence in the 21st century. People who celebrate Chhath have been touched by the fact that when people travel, they also carry their culture and language with them. Due to their awareness of the environment, individuals in th...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I SCHOOL IS BAD FOR CHILDREN 13 September 2022 These days, Dr. Duwadi Sir is actively working on a new teaching strategy. He makes an effort to involve us in every step. He began class once more by playing a game reminiscent of "Chinese Whisper." He divided us up into groups and gave us the task of determining whether or not the school was terrible for kids. Our group discussed the benefits and drawbacks of education for kids. Later, sir made us read John Hault's essay, "School Is Bad for Children."   When the author says that going to school is terrible for kids, I do agree with him. The author claims that schools really injure kids by limiting their need for knowledge and changing their inherent perception, intelligence, confidence, and other characteristics. The author argues that while the majority of people believe that going to school or college is required to thrive in life, doing so actually undermines a child's intrinsic abilities....
