Motivation Session " Learn English, one day, life will change"

Dr. Chathurangi Abeshika did our first English motivation session after coming to the university. It was held in 2024.12.11 through the online platform. Its main objectives were to develop our knowledge of English and transfer it easily to speaking and to eliminate the fear of speaking English. The uniqueness of Dr. Chathurangi Abeshika, who presented this session to us, is that she was also a student at our university and passed with a first-class pass. Now she has completed a masters in mass communication at the university of Kelaniya. She is working as a film maker, and she has won awards for it. 

In this program, she explained how she learned to speak English in her life and how she gradually developed her knowledge of English and lost her fear of it. She also explained why it is important for us to improve our English knowledge and explained how the English language is important for higher education, global communication, career opportunities, access to knowledge, cultural understanding and internet usage. And Advice was given on how to look English movies and films, how to use English newspapers and articles.

One thing I felt was that she was very superior not only in knowledge but also in humility. Although she is studious advanced, she still humbly accepts her university's first English lecturer, Dr. Sumudu Embogama, as her teacher. She told us during the motivation session that she is her teacher, not her former English teacher. When she said that, I also felt happy that Because of Dr. Sumudu Embogama, is our first English teacher in the university.

Finally, from her session we learnt how to develop our English knowledge and how to be humble No matter how educationally advanced we are. And I was also proud of her being a former student of our university. I really thank for conducting this session for us.

Unlocking the Dancer Brain..

  A dancer has the ability to instantly understand and control the movements of their body without consciously thinking about them. This is called Kinesthetic awareness or proprioception . This allows a dancer to maintain an intuitive understanding of their body during dance without any hindrance. A key aspect of the dancer brain is an acute sensitivity to rhythm and timing. Adapts to subtle shifts in dynamics and tempo according to music or a certain rhythm. Here, a dancer's brain is active, with the innate ability to not only perform rhythms with music, but also to interpret it in the context of the moods that accompany it at that moment. The dancer has the ability to connect deeply with emotions and has the ability and skill to physically embody those emotions.

Through the eye of the camera ...

  People have many hobbies, and my hobby is photography. I love it so much. Because with the click of a camera, we can capture beautiful events and memories that we might otherwise forget, and keep them forever as a memory, without letting them fade away. I think photography is a uniquely powerful hobby that is different from other hobbies. I first picked up a camera during my school days. I was also a member of the school's photography society, where our teacher taught us how to properly photograph an object or a scene. Photography has now become an integral part of my life and has grown into a passionate hobby. The school environment was a beautiful place that gave us the opportunity to take photographs for the first time at our school. I never forget to photograph every happy moment in my life, everything aesthetic. I have many photos collected like this. A photographer's eye is a special thing. His or her eye is drawn to aesthetic, attractive things more quickly than the av...
