Essay Sample: How to learn new things

Learning new things can be a fun and exciting experience. It brings color and variation in one’s life. However, one cannot learn anything new on a whim or without a proper planning. To actually gather knowledge about some fun stuff, one must follow these three rules: visualization, preparation and action.

No one can force anyone to learn anything new unless and until that person actually has interest in it. So, the first and foremost step to learn something new is to imagine it in one’s mind first and to find out if he or she is actually finding some interest in it. For example, if you want to learn origami, visualize yourself folding paper creatively. If it arouses any interest, go for it. If it does not, try to visualize something else. Without the correct visualization, things may go downhill.

Dhaka landscape

Bogra and Dhaka cities are similar when it comes to high population density and living standards but they quite dissimilar in other ways.

Paragraph Sample: Eating waffles for the first time

I had always been a foodie with a sweet tooth. So, when a friend suggested that I try waffles, I was more than delighted. We fixed a date and a restaurant which sold some great waffles in various flavors. On the fixed date, we went to the restaurant and ordered a plate of regular butter waffles with a drizzle chocolate syrup and a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream. For those of you who don’t know, a waffle is a thick slice of round pastry made with eggs, butter, milk and flour and toasted inside a special pan. Anyways, when the waffles arrived, I was enamored with its rich chocolaty aroma. Moreover, when I took the first bite, I thought I was in heaven. It was very delicious and the chocolate and the vanilla added a burst of flavors to it. I am definitely going to try all the flavors of the waffles available in my neighborhood.

Foreword to Informative Speech: Vlad, the Impaler

Vlad Tepes, collected

Why I chose him:

Honestly, I chose him because I wanted to do something out of the box. We all knew what Dracula is or who Bram Stoker is. But not every one of us knows about the real inspiration behind the iconic dark prince, Dracula. People should know that the person who was the blueprint for Dracula was even more sinister than the fictional character.

Dracula was vampire, he needed blood to survive. But his real counterpart was a flesh and blood human. He enjoyed hurting people only for the sake of his satisfaction. I believe he might be one of the earliest examples of a sadist. People my age really like to know about such historical facts about real life torturers, whether we admit it or not. So, I think this topic will be a bit more appealing because it is not usual. Also, I did not want to coincide with someone else with the same topic, so I chose someone who nobody may think about.

Impromptu Writing

How to do Impromptu Speech

Here are the topics our professor gave us to practice Impromptu Speech. Take a look.

Topic-1: Desire

Desire is a strong wish to achieve or get something. For example: one may desire to get a rooftop penthouse someday or an expensive BMW car. Desire also includes romantic attraction towards another person. Unlike wish, desire is more about passion. When we wish something, we don’t necessarily mean to get it. However, when we desire something, we work hard and passionately for it. We may or may not get what we want. But the effort is certainly there and that’s why we call it desire.

Desire is also a recurring theme in contemporary fiction. For example: there is a magic mirror in the Harry Potter books called the Mirror of Erised, where Erised is just Desire spelled backwards.

My experience with Public Speaking

I define public speaking as all kind of interaction with people using language. My experience with public speaking has faced quite a lot of ups and downs. At certain situations, like at home with parents or some close friends, I am very comfortable to speak. 

Other times, during hang-outs where there are a lot people, I may not be so extrovert. However, during a presentation or a performance (one which had a lot of rehearsals), you would not be finding me sitting quitely at a corner. I am rather active in such circumstances. In fact, I have hosted quite a few shows back in my school days. On the contrary though, I am not so good at prompt speeches.
