I'd like to talk about a time when I taught my relatives. It happened last summer when I was at home in my village during my summer holiday. I spent time with my little sister, and one of my sister-in-laws asked my mom to help her children learn English during the summer break. Initially, I was hesitant to teach them because I was busy with my own activities and looking after my little sister whom I love dearly. However, I eventually decided to give it a try since they had been helpful to our family. I taught a ten-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy. They came to my home three times a week for one hour each session. I covered various grammar topics, reading exercises, and pronunciation. I taught them for about one to two months, and I was pleased to see their improvement in English. They were happy and grateful, and their mother was also delighted to hear about their progress.
