It was not like a Lecture.We learned valuable things from this workshop. We learned some English grammar areas. Then there were  given some exercise to fix some grammar errors.

After the exercise we had a small competition and it was a group activity. We were asked to write a user manual for a user who wants to withdraw 1500 rupees from an ATM.

Then the competition we got some refreshments and after that there was a fun group activities.In the fun group activities we had to think about an object as a group and write four sentences about that object to describe it. Other groups want to tell a correct object using that describe.It was very fun activity.
