Describe a situation when you had to keep silent Model answer 1

Introduction: 
  Silence is defined as a complete absence of sound. We should keep silent when we lack sufficient knowledge about the situation. Here I am going to share about my experience where I had kept silent.

When it was?
  It was about a year ago, while I was doing my post graduation in AFG university at Madurai. During my studies I attended a seminar class in XYZ university near Dindigul. XYZ university has also invited some other nearby colleges to attend the seminar.

Where it was?
  The seminar was held at the mini auditorium of  XYZ University. They have invited a professor Mr. Raghu from HG university. He graduated with 4 bachelor degrees and 3 Master degrees.

Why you needed to remain silent?
  In that seminar, the professor had started his lecture about a general topic which is related to our subject. Everyone has discussed it with him but I am unfamiliar with the topic which he provided. So I thought it’s better to stay silent and listen to what others were sharing rather than make uninformed or baseless answers.

Explain how you felt about it.
 I think I made the right decision because I learned a lot about the topic and my silence helped me to focus and concentrate in the seminar class.

Conclusion: 
 From this situation I learned that being silent in unfamiliar places or at unknown conversations will help us to enhance concentration and learn new things.

 Why you needed to remain silent?

• A library is a place where many people  are engaged in various enterprises, some may read or some may do research. So we should keep silent in the library. 
• As it is a common rule that everyone should remain silent in the library. So I need to follow the rule.

Explain how you felt about it.

Conclusion: 

• At last we had a great time in that Library, I had gathered a lot of new information. Also I have noticed that many magazines have published lots of new information.
