This is a very exciting moment, because for the first time I went to WSO2. We reached that place exactly 8.55 a.m. The workshop planned on the topic of technical writing. I didn't know about a technical writing and job position called technical writer before the workshop. It was a good opportunity to learn more new things.

First they gave some speech, and then they started to teach us about the technical writing.

Technical writing is a very important thing, as a software engineering we should know about it. As a software engineer most of us like to be a developer in future. but they told us we can start our career as a junior technical writer. In that path also we can go some higher positions in future. Our English speaking and writing skills are very important things for start our career in this path.

The things learned from the workshop were valuable. It was not like a regular lecture, but there were many things. We learned some English grammar areas. Then there were some exercises to fix some grammar errors.

After the exercises we had a small competition and it was a group activity. We were asked to write a user manual for a user who wants to withdraw 1500 rupees from an ATM.

After the competition we got some refreshments and after that there was a fun group activity. In the fun activity we had to think about an object as a group and write four sentences about that object to describe it. Other groups want to tell a correct object using that describe. Actually it was very fun.

By the time, we reached the end of the session. finally, they announced that winning team of the ATM activity and the fun activity, and then they provide some gift for them.

At last we took some photographs with them. This is a very interesting session and we have learned many new things.
