Subject: Seminar on 'Effective Learning Skills'
Dear Anita,
I hope this email finds you in good health. I recently attended a seminar on 'Effective Learning Skills' and wanted to share my experience with you.
Our school had organised this seminar this weekend. I had such an experience for the first time and it was wonderful. The students of the tenth standard were allowed to participate in the seminar. The seminar detailed about the significance of listening in a student's life.
It emphasised that listening is a very important aspect of building communication skills. We, the students pay a little attention to listening. Now, I’ve come to know that listening is as important as speaking. Listening is indispensable to communication. Not only it improves our concentration and memory, but also it enhances our ability of learning. It is inevitable to build communication skills.
I shall definitely tell you more about it when I meet you. I can assure you that you would have enjoyed the seminar as much I did. I have shared enough for now. Take care.
Love,
