How Teachers Can Help Students Master Writing Skills: “Write About an Excellent Service You Got”

Writing about an excellent service helps ESL students express opinions, describe experiences, and use polite language. This topic is useful for real life, such as restaurants, shops, hotels, hospitals, and customer service situations. Teachers should guide students step by step and provide clear examples.

Step 1: Explain the Topic Clearly

Start by explaining what “excellent service” means. Give simple examples students understand.

• A friendly waiter in a restaurant
• A helpful shop assistant
• A kind teacher or doctor
• Fast and polite customer service

Ask students to think about a real experience they had.

Step 2: Teach the Paragraph Structure

Explain that a good paragraph has three main parts:

• Introduction: Where and when the service happened
• Body: What the person did and why it was excellent
• Conclusion: How the student felt about the service

Step 3: Provide a Model Paragraph

Teachers should always give a model before asking students to write.

Example:

I once received excellent service at a small restaurant near my school. The waiter was very polite and friendly. He helped us choose our food and served everything quickly. The place was clean and the food was delicious. I felt happy and comfortable, and I would like to visit this restaurant again.
