I used to really enjoy watching panel discussion shows on television. It's incredible that I had the opportunity to be a part of panel discussion in my EAP class. It was an amazing experience and one of the most memorable classes I have had so far.
A panel discussion is an organized conversation where a group of people, usually experts or knowledgeable individuals, share their thoughts and opinions on a specific topic. It's a great way to gain different perspectives and insights on a subject. Our class also had a panel discussion with five groups, each consisting of seven members. I was pleasantly surprised by the talent and confidence displayed by my classmates. I felt like watching a television show. The topics were interesting, and I learned so many new facts, like how Bumthang, a cold place, is now able to cultivate rice due to climate change. The panel discussion was a great way to showcase everyone's potential, and I truly appreciated my classmates' performances.
I was really captivated by one of the groups in our panel discussion that chose physical appearances as their topic. They did an outstanding job. One member from that group talked about the importance of dressing well to look beautiful. It reminded me of a quote from Shakespeare in my 12th grade. "Eat to thyself, but dress to please others." I completely agreed with that sentiment, just like my mate from that panel group. The panel discussion ended with beautiful memories, and everyone gave their best. I think activities like panel discussion in our modules were helpful for boosting our confidence, learning more and thinking beyond the texts.
