Model Answer 
One of the most useful skills I have learnt since I was a 10-year-old child is typing 
on a keyboard without looking at that is a special skill. 
When I was 10 years old, my father bought me a computer, it was impossible for 
me to type without looking at the keys. It took longer hours for me to type a single 
page by searching the letters on the keys. When I started to type, it appeared to

me that the letters should be placed on the keyboard alphabetically for better use. 
But gradually I learnt that this way is better than the alphabetical letters. 
Basically I learnt the skill at my home using my personal computer. In the very 
beginning, it was tougher for me to compose anything on the computer with the 
keyboard attached with it and it took longer hours for me to compose a document 
of three or four pages. So, I started using internet to get some ways to learn typing. 
I found some special applications that allow the users to get the desired typing 
skill. Besides, the applications also helped me to make the typing faster than it was 
in the beginning. 
All of the earned skills are useful in real life but the applications may differ in 
situations. When I started learning the skill, I thought that it would be of no use in 
my practical life and I am wasting my times. But when I took part in my work, I was 
surprised by the applications of typing. I have started serving the office in different 
ways with the typing skill. As a result, my fame has increased as a typing expert 
and accordingly the office has evaluated my performance. I have been promoted 
to senior administrative officer after three months when I applied the skill to my 
daily works at the workplace. So, it appears to be a very useful skill for me.
