Dear students,
In years 2 and 3, you all participated in the Junior Public Speaking Contest. This contest is a junior version of the Speaking Contest portion of the GNE Awards, a competition that is not only nationwide (including non-TTO schools and International Schools), but is international in nature; the winner of the contest gets to go to London to compete in the international ESU (English Speaking Union) competition. If you are not that comfortable as a speaker, but are a good writer, you can also participate in the Young Writer Awards.
The topics you may speak or write about this year are as follows:
- These are the best of times, these are the worst of times.
- Is immigration good for a country?
- Should the Dutch armed forces take part in peace-supporting operations?
- Super food - fact or fancy?
- The only way to travel is on foot.
- ESU topic: Integrity has no need of rules.
The deadline for registration for this contest is January 23rd, 2016. If you are interested in participating, please look over the information on the website: http://www.gneawards.nl/students and contact me.
