Male Female

Well, teaching something to someone is not my cup of tea. However, I had to teach table tennis a couple of days ago to my relative for his exam. He studied at a school which is organized for sports. Personally, I'm a big fan of playing table tennis, and I mostly spend my leisure time playing it. I decided to teach him this game. At first, I showed him how to play by demonstrating it myself. We had some stressful times as he struggled initially in many cases, but we practiced a lot, more than 4 or 5 hours a day. In the end, we achieved our goal. He passed the exam with flying colors and was over the moon. He even sent me a thank you gift. It was a rewarding experience for me.
