Today I met a wonderful man trough the ELTU unit. His name is Dr. Sudesh Manthillake. He is The head of the Department of Fine Arts at The university of Peradeniya. He told us How English helped him for his personal Journey.
He said he went to seventeen English classes to learn English. When he was was 1st grade in University he met a Professor named Merlin Peiris. According to him, this professor has told them wonderful things. Dr. Sudesh on the 1st day at the university, Professor Merlin Peiris said that, "subject are easy to learn but English is difficult to learn." So he said to try to learn English. Also Professor Merlin said an important thing is that, " English is a magic key" . That because la\earning English means that this magic key can open anything that can't be opened. that is why Dr. Sudesh believed this valuable saying. So he has learned English and Is currently touring many countries and sharing his Knowledge with others.
He also said that Professor Sunil Gunasekara is another teacher who has made an impact in life. He believed what Professor Sunil said and learned and practiced through it. In this person helped to Dr. Sudesh to go abroad.
There are lot of things I have added to my life today through his character. We have to face any challenge in life without fear and we have to overcome it successfully. According to him, he should have done the GRE exam in three times. So it is clear that we must face the challenges and overcome them. In today's world knowing just one language is not enough. Therefore, we need to learn different languages and that is another experience that I have properly added to my life through him.
He is a performance dancer. He was also a prolific speaker. He is the head of fine art department at The University of Peradeniya. He has lectured in many countries. English has helped him to become a prominent figure in the society.
As Professor Merlin told Dr. Sudesh. and Dr. Sudesh told us to find the magic key, own the magic key and develop the magic key. So I thought .like Dr. Sudesh that I would find the magic key, own it, develop it and one day make a name for myself in a high place in our country.
I was able to meet a wonderful man named Dr. Sudesh today because of Dr. Sumudu and lecturer Deshanee. So, I always offer my heartfelt thank for our madams.💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
