The competition was sponsored by the Students’ Parents Society. Mrs. Lien, our English teacher, explained the competition’s rule to the students.
“…To participate in the contest, you have to work in group of three.each group must complete five activitives in all. On competition of each activities, you will have to answer the questions on the worksheets within two minutes. The judges will observe and score your performance. The maximum score for each activity is 15 points. at the end of the competition, the judges will announce the total score of each group. The group that gets the highest score will be the winner.

But in activity 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 points; and group C got 60. Thu felt a bit disappointed. Hung apologised for not being able to complete the poem.

Do you like the sky at night
When the stars are shining bright?
Do you like it in the day
When the cloud all go away?
What I like is the morning
Shining on me when I run
And I also like the rain
Pattering on my windowpane.
