“LESSON TO LEARN”

I do not find long school holidays to be dull or boring. Learning some skills could
add some excitement to my life. A survival course can teach me how to build a fire
and set up a tent, how to climb a tree and how not to get lost in a forest.

However, I think that course is too tough. I want to find an easier course to learn.
Learning modern dance will be fantastic. There are many kinds of modern dance and
they all make me move. After learning various techniques, I can create my own style
of dancing. Later, I can perhaps teach my friends and form my own dance group!

I also like computers and a computer course can teach me many fascinating things. I can
learn how to build my own website or develop my own computer game. It is not as di fficult as
it sounds. In fact, after a few weeks, I am surprised by how much I have learnt.

Bonjour, Guten Tag, Hola. These are some of the greetings that I sometimes heard from
foreigners who come to visit Malaysia. I think I want to take up a language class. A
beginner’s course takes only six weeks. In that time, I can learn the basic phrases and
grammar of the language. It is the perfect course for anyone who wants a good start in Iife.
After that, I can continue to higher levels.

On the other hand, what could be more fun to learn than a magic course! I may not be as
proficient as Harry Potter but I can still learn numerous incredible tricks that will make my
friends and relatives feel amazed and puzzled. I will be able to make objects vanish, cut
someone in half and pull a rabbit out of a hat!
