Describe an area of subject that you are interested in (such as physics,
mathematics)

You should say:

  • What it is
  • When you started to become interested in it
  •  What you have learned from it

And explain why you have interest in it

Sample Answer

I’d like to describe a subject that I was particularly keen on when I was at school. It was History.

I have to admit that I didn’t like History at first, as there were so many numbers, events and dates to remember that it used to take me hours to learn all of them by heart to be well-prepared for the exam. However, Mrs. Huong, my history teacher when I was at grade 10, breathed new life into this subject and it started to grow on me.

I’ve learned a lot from the subject. Apart from historical events which help me know what the world was like and how it worked, learning history has also brought me closer to the culture of my country. Above all, I think, History has taught me to appreciate the present while drawing lessons from the past.

Nevertheless, I wouldn’t have been so much in love with this subject without my teacher, Mrs Huong. The way she delivered the lessons was so enthusiastic and passionate that it inspired me to catch her every word / absorb all information given by her, and somehow, I fell in love with History. Now, even though History is neither my major nor even taught at University, I still have the habit of reading historical books whenever having free time.
