Hooray! I'm qualified for the next round of the Spelling Bee competition!
This is an event organised specially for EL students to test their spelling and pronunciation of words. I've got the news abt the event from Hui Ching yesterday.. It's today, 2-5pm at A003.. and it's juz the preliminary round.. the best 5 will be chosen for the next round..
When I got there after lunch, Mr Krishnan was explaining the rules and regulations of the game to some of my coursemates and Y1S1 juniors
Mr Krishnan was the one who explained the rules.. to choose the 5, elimination process will take place. Whenever a participant spelled or pronounced wrongly a word, he/will be eliminated. Thie event goes like this: Mr Krishnan will say a word, the first person will say the word, spell it out and say it again, then the next person says a word, but the word must begin with the last letter of the word the previous person has mentioned.. the word must not less than 3 letters and repetition of the same word was not allowed.. the process goes on and on until 5 ppl left.
We had a demo first before the real thing began.. Y1S1 students will have a go first cos they have class later
After the 5 have been chosen, Y2S1 students stepped in.. Y1S2 has done the competition while Y2S2 not yet..
What I noticed during the competition was that most of the participants mentioned words that end with 'e's.. not only Y1S1, but Y2S1 (our batch).. there were only 9 ppl from my batch contesting: Manmeet, Renjie and her twin cousins Ann & Jan, Helena, Hannah, Eugene, Winna & me.
In the end, the 5 ppl who advanced to the next round were Manmeet, Renjie, Hannah, Helena & me
Will I be the Spelling Bee? not sure.. but wil work out some strategies to try staying long as possible & winning the mini competiition.
