how to ignite interest for competitions among students (18/8)

BY ... Christine and Rinie =)
- Attractive prizes
- exposure:Meeting new people ,gaining knowledge beyond the textbooks of your normal school curriculum
-oral values like determination, teamwork etc.
- Cope stress

Students are vehemently encouraged to participate in competitions as they gain an opportunity to get vast exposure beyong their normal school curriculum.Come forth, and you will get to meet great men, who have touched the peaks of achievements so that you can get motivation to strive for the best like the great people they have met and contribute to the society in the future. Come forth , grab a chance to gain more knowledge beyond your textbooks.

Moreover, students also learn moral values of determination, teamwork and hardwork to get their goals in the competition. They experience hardships along the way and thus through this, they can lean against their own teammates for support when adverse circumstances come their way.

During my student life, i participated in the National Science Challenge through which i had an opportunity to make friends with people from various insitutions and schools. Moreover, we got a chance to know famous personalities like professor Dr David Butler.

I remember, although we lost the competition we took the failure sportingly and as a stepping stone to success .
So come forth , and you will gain experiences worth keeping in your treasure of memories forever.

Through all these experiences they encounter, they can improve on their lifeskills and it benefits not only themselves but also the society in the near future.

hence, all students should go grab every opportunity , because where else would one find such great chances in life to enrich ones character ?

  1. I don't really understand this sentence: 'they get to meet new and who have touched the peaks of achievements'. Other than that, I think that the speech is good and the points flow smoothly.

  2. it feels more like an essay than a speech to me.
    can elaborate more on the point of "coping stress".
    i do not understand this-"they get to meet new and who have touched the peaks of achievements ".

  3. hey joanne and huiling! Chris just told me that it was supposed to be "they get to meet new people who have touched the peaks of achievements ." haha i didnt understand it either.

    I think that there was good use of emotive language. the last sentence was good as well.

  4. in this sentence "get to meet new and who have touched the peaks of achievements .' are you referring to the highly successful people? it is a little vague :/

    good question. ".. would one find such great chances in life to enrich ones character ? "

  5. i think your speech is very general but straight to the point and direct. Not that convincing. At more personal experiences like competitions you've been to. that might allow you to further interact with the audience

  6. Very much an essay than speech. Probably depends on who your audience is. If it had been a group of teachers, then no choice but to use third person pronouns like what you have done. Otherwise if you are speaking to a group of students, do use 1st (to share what you went through)and 2nd person pronouns (for inclusivity).
