First Week at SLIIT Academy

First Week at SLIIT Academy


22nd Of November, 2021

Today is my first day at SLIIT Academy. I was nervous and excited at the same time. Before the lectures start, we had a small meeting which let us know about SLIIT Academy, about the lecturers and about how things work at SLIIT Academy. We had already received our schedules and time tables for the lectures. There were nearly 60 students at first.


Our first lecture for the day was Essential Communication Skills. At first, I had no idea about what will I get to learn through this lecture. Once the lecture start, I got to know that the lecture is about improving our English knowledge and communication skills. The lecturer was Ms. Ishara Raviharee. It was fun through out the lecture, we got to learn how to introduce ourselves and how to break - the - ice between a conversation. And at the end of the lecturer Ms. Ishara gave us a home work and it was to create a BLOG and keeping it update.
