Writing skills should be remarkable. The main gauge of the applicant’s skills will be an essay consisting of 500-800 words. Structure, grammar, valuable content and adherence to topic will be the criteria for selecting the winner. Past years’ sub-themes are different from this year’s topic/sub-theme: “Continued Learning after Retirement.”
State in your essay your personal viewpoints on anything about the people still learning new things even after their retirement. You may choose to explain why learning is still necessary for retired people, or you may highlight an institution that provides lifelong learning for seniors. Any interesting personal belief or opinion on the topic will also suffice.
