Award-English Poem Teams

Po Leung Kuk Camões Tan Siu Lin Primary School

6A Kwok Sze Chai Melody (Senior Choral Speaking)

I have been in the English Group Poem Team since I

was in Primary 1. The poem for the Senior English

Choral Speaking Team this year was “When the

Funfair Comes to Town”. Ms. Judith Ng, Ms. Ivy

Wong and Ms. Glenda Tang were the teachers in

charge. They taught us how to interpret the poem; they

also listened to our opinions! Although we were well

prepared before the competition, we still felt a bit

nervous, yet, all of us were excited. With our great

performance during the competition, we won the

championship!

I have learnt a lot after joining the Senior English Choral Speaking Team.

I have gained courage and confidence. I also know how to better co-operate with

others. I make more new friends and learn more skills when reciting poems.

Lastly, I would like to thank the teachers in charge and all the other team members.

Without everyone’s co-operation, I am sure that we would not have performed so well

during the competition. We also had a great time during our practices and our party

time!

2E Cheng Yee King, Ethan (Solo Verse)

Ethan is a member of the Solo Verse Speaking Team. He

recited “Watching TV”, which is about a TV annoyed by

a child who was addicted to watching it. He used ample

facial expressions and variations in his voice to deliver

the speech.

Before the competition, he was not nervous at all. After

his recital, he was very content with his performance. When the adjudicator called out

his name after two other names, he thought he was 3rd

place. Only when he noticed

the word “Winner” did he realize he had won!

He has learnt from the competition that it is important to recite the poem well on stage.

It is even more important to keep quiet and learn from other competitors while

watching their performances on that day.

3C Wong Hoi Lam, Polly (Solo Verse)

I am happy to share my feelings on the 61st HK

Schools Speech Festival. When I interpreted it, I

imagined myself being the girl in the poem who

was very cute and outspoken. I felt a bit anxious

when I stepped onto the stage, so I took a deep

breath to relax myself and kept smiling.

When the adjudicator announced the result of the speech competition, he explained

that my facial expressions made me stand out from the others. I was overjoyed when

the result sheet was awarded to me. I want to thank my parents for supporting me

and practicing the poem with me patiently.

3E Charis Chan (Junior Choral Speaking)

Charis Chan is very experienced in reading

poems as she has been in the Choral

Speaking Team for two years. With great

co-operation, the team achieved 3rd

place

in the 61st Hong Kong Schools Speech

Festival.

This year, the poem was called “The

Dragon’s Birthday Party”. It was about children who baked a cake and threw the

dragon a surprise party. The team members put in a lot of effort to deliver the poem in

a lively way with plenty of variations in their voices. With the help of our teachers,

they succeeded in doing that. The Choral speaking team was neither nervous nor shy

while performing, as each one of the members had the support of their fellow team

members.

Charis would like to thank all the Choral Speaking Team members for their hard work

and co-operation. She would like to thank the teachers as well, for all the support and

help they have given to the team. According to Charis, it is really worth joining the

English Choral Speaking Team as she has a lot of opportunities to enhance her

teamwork and leadership skills.

4B Liu Wai Ming Jasmine Portia (Solo Verse)

After taking part in the Solo Verse Speaking of the 61st Hong Kong Schools Speech

Festival, Jasmine found herself to be more confident in all kinds of competitions.

During the early stages of her practice, she felt very nervous and worried the other

students might laugh at her as she always

pronounced some words incorrectly.

However, she soon overcame her nerves

after frequent practice with her parents

and her teacher. She felt so proud to win

the championship this year! Hopefully,

she will gain even more nice memories

and skills on reciting poems next year!

5A Wong Cheuk Wah Thomas (Solo Verse)

I started participating in the English Solo Verse Speaking

competition when I was in Primary one. I was very

nervous at my first recital in the competition five years ago.

Now, I have gradually adapted to the tense atmosphere at

the competition venue and I became the champion in the

61st HK Schools Speech Festival.

To understand the poem and the writer’s feelings is very

important. My parents helped me a lot in understanding the

meaning of the poem and improving my facial expressions. The better I understood

the poem, the better I could perform on the stage.

To take this year’s poem for example, I had some basic knowledge on shooting stars

and the universe. Therefore, I could express the writer’s feelings more fluently and

naturally.

I love reciting poems because I can learn English in a fun way!
