After memorizing same words and rules of English I always encouraged myself by thinking of the idea. I conntinued the routine for a long time.
I usually went to my mamu's house in Karachi during summer vacation Kamala and Muhammad Ali inspired me a lot when they communicate in English. After completing my intermediate.

Q.6: Write an essay to compare and contrast on any one of the following:
(i)Physical Classes v/s Online Classes
(ii)Football v/s Cricket
(i) Physical Classes v/s Online Classes
Education is an.important part of our lives, and it has come a long way since the days of chalkboards, textbooks and physical classrooms. Today, there is an abundance of learning options available, from physical classrooms to online classes. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and can be used to facilitate learning depending on the needs of the student.Physical classes are typically held in a classroom setting, with a teacher leading the class in person. This allows for immediate feedback and can be beneficial for those who learn best through face-to-face interaction. Physical classes also allow for students to build relationships with their peers, which can be beneficial for their social development. On the other hand, physical classes are often more expensive and can be time consuming if they are not held close to where the student lives.
Online classes are becoming increasingly popular, as they provide a more convenient alternative to physical classrooms, Online classes are typically held online, with the teacher leading the class through video conference or other forms of communication. Online classes are often more affordable than physical classes, as they do not require any physical space or transportation to attend.
Furthermore, online classes are more flexible, allowing students to learn at their own pace and from the comfort of their own homes. This can be especially beneficial for those who have busy schedules or need to fit learning into their lives in a different way. However, online classes can lack the personal interaction that physical classes provide, and can be difficult for those who learn best through face-to-face interaction.
Overall, both physical classes and online classes have their advantages and disadvantages, and the decision of which type of class to take should be based on the individual needs of the student. Physical classes are great for those who learn best through face-to-face interaction, while online classes are better suited for those who need more flexibility in their learning schedule.
