Poetry Competition

Last Thursday, Kimchi was chosen by her Form Teacher to represent her class in the SMR's upcoming Poetry Competition.

As much as being talkative by nature, Kimchi has a natural flair for public speaking. I have always encouraged her to read good books so as to develop the proper usage of good English language (writing and speaking) and also to increase her library of vocabulary. Reading broadens the mind. Don't you know?

Kimchi's New Zealand-born English Language teacher - Sir Simon - as he is fondly called by his students, was overwhelmed and pleased with Kimchi's recent performance when she and a fellow classmate gave an impressive talk to all the Form 5 students on how to be well-prepared for the G.C.E. 'O' Levels Examinations - 2008.

According to Kimchi, Sir Simon was speaking literally in a Shakespearean style when he approached Kimchi with the idea. Surprised and amused by her teacher's poetic act, Kimchi accepted with beaming eyes.

The finals will be on 14 June 2008 - wow! a day when auspicious happenings will take place huhu - and till then, Kimchi has to practise with her Shakespeare-inspired teacher - Sir Simon. Good Luck!
