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.
The seminar was organised by our school last Thursday. It was a wonderful experience. All students of classes IX and X participated in the seminar. The seminar emphasised the importance of listening in a student's life.
We are all so busy nowadays that we seldom have time to listen to others. This seminar made me realise that listening is as important as speaking. Listening is indispensable to communication. We can only respond when we listen carefully. It improves our concentration and our power of retention. It is an invaluable skill for everyone.
I will let you know more about the seminar once I meet you. Knowing you, I am sure you would have enjoyed the seminar as much I did. Take care and give my regards to your parents.
Love,
Ankita
