My Experience on First Class of Advanced English

We had our first English class on 31st August 2022, Sunday. Dr. Eak Prasad Duwadi sir introduced about himself and told us about his achievements which was interesting and inspiring. He did a nice grooming to the students and he was very kind to each of us. He also form a group so that we can introduce ourselves and get to know each other better. Through interaction I got familiar with some of my classmates and they were all quiet friendly and helpful. It was quiet a new and enjoyable experience for me which I will not forget. This experience made me socialize with new people.
