For example:

Why I Recommend Joining the English Workshop

My name is Carla, and I love English. Last month, I joined a Speaking Workshop at my school. At first, I was shy and nervous, but the teacher was friendly and patient. We practiced dialogues, learned new vocabulary, and played games to improve our pronunciation.

After two weeks, I felt more confident. I can speak English more fluently now. I also made new friends from other countries. It was a wonderful experience!

That’s why I recommend joining the workshop. It’s fun, educational, and very helpful for your future.
