Teachers play vital role for society by teaching and inspiring their students. There is a saying in my mother tongue, you can learn plenty of things but it remains unfinished if you do not have a teacher. In our culture, Chanakya and Dronacharya are the greatest example of eminent(band 7 word) teachers. I have come across with so many teachers in my life. All of them have given me great teaching and inspiration.
hence, It is difficult to choose best teachers from them. But, well, if you ask me, Mr. Manoj Bhatt is my favorite teacher. He teaches English in general and IELTS in particular.
I came in touch with him when I was studying my bachelor. Actually, I accidently met him. One of my friend wanted to join classes and I was with him so I attended the demo lecture. I was so impressed the way he delivered the speech. The words and sentences he used in his speech were simple yet they were effectively exerted.
His teaching method is ingenious and unique. In addition, He has got extensive knowledge of each facet (band 7 word)of English learning. But most importantly, he is very optimist person. He always encourages the students to do well and give best. He used to tell us that the taste of a result you got after hard work is sweeter than any sweets in the world.

I have read so many books in different genre such as romance, criminal, detective, historical and autobiographies.Among all these books one book which has left everlasting impression on me is “my experiments of truth or autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi” it is written by Mahatma Gandhi, father of our nation.This book is basically a life led by Mahatma Gandhi and his experiments of truth in various situations. He has shown the practical way to lead a life in simple way. In addition to that, this book can guide you what could be done in difficult situation. Gandhiji was a stern believer of truth and nonviolence. With this book he has left a message never give away on truth. And adhere to your principles.Really, this book has changed me in many ways. I understand that the principles which he had shown is difficult to be implemented in present scenario. Yet, one can lead peaceful life by applying these principle in his life.
5. Describe your favorite author
Reading has always been a fascination to me. it is my favorite past time. Whenever I get time I jump to read a book. Even I can consider myself voracious reader. To feed my desire for reading, I have read books of numerous authors. I have read authors such as Mahatma Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Earley Stanley Gardener, J.K.Rolling. I am also interested in modern time authors such as Agatha Christie and Chetan Bhagat.
It is arduous(band 7 word) task to choose one from these great authors. However, the author whom I enjoy most is Earley Stanley gardener. He is basically a lawyer. Most of the novels he has written are based on crime fiction.
I have read his first novel when my friend recommended it, I think six years ago. From that time to now as an author, his impression remains so vivid(band 7 word) in my mind.
As I have told you he writes crime fiction, and courtroom novel. The characters which he created are awesome. He created Perry mason who is an astute lawyer, Della Street, his confidential charming secretary and Paul drake, his friend, an energetic and intelligent detective. These three makes perfect team to put any criminal behind the bar.
I have read some 50 novels of this author. And the way he cross-examines the witnesses in courtroom is so genuine. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends.
