Hung, Thu and Nga were the members of Group A. They quickly read the questions and tried to find out the answered. At first, things went smoothly. They almost completed the five activities. But in Activities 5, Hung had difficulty reciting the poem. He could not remember the last sentence. Time was up, and the judges announced the results. The winner was Group B, which got 70 points; Hung` s group got 65; and Group C got 60. Thu felt a bit disappointed. Hung apologized for not being able to complete the poem. But Nga made it better by saying "For me the most important was our participation in the competition and the enjoyment we had from it."

Do you like the sky at night
When the stars are shining bright?
Bạn có thích trời đêm
Khi ngàn sao lấp lánh.
Do you like it in the day
When the clouds all go away?
Bạn có thích trời xanh
Khi không một gợn mây
What I like is the morning sun
Shining on me when I run
Tôi yêu ánh nắng mai
Soi sáng khi tôi chạy

And I also like the rain
Pattering on my windowpane
Và cũng yêu cơn mưa
Gõ nhịp lên khung cửa sổ
