Could you please check the following sentences?

History was a fascinating subject to me when I look back on/in my school days, and I had a great passion for it.

When I look back on/to my school days, history was a fascinating subject to me, and I had a great passion for it.

In/on my school days, history was a fascinating subject to me when I look back , and I had a great passion for it.

I don't see the relevance of 'when I look back'. Why not say 'In my school days I found History to be a fascinating subject. I had a great passion for it.'

 

[newkeenlearner]

Thank you Bhaisahab. I liked your suggestion.

I don't see the relevance of 'when I look back'.

Because I want to answer the IELTS cue card below:

Describe a subject you enjoyed studying in your school days.

Now, are my sentences relevant?

 

[Tdol]

Yes, but, like Bhaisahab, I would take out when I look back. I would use that for something that I see in a different light now. You liked it then and you still think you liked it.

 

[Sarah-Betty]

Is the following correct too?

In my school days I saw History as a fascinating subject. I had a great passion for it.

There's no need to capitalise school subjects, except when they're the names of languages.
