Bronze Award – The 14th English Radio Drama Competition 2022

A radio drama is an acoustic performance using only your voice and sound effects. It is surely an unforgettable experience for both the performers and audience.

 

This year, four of my friends and I joined the 14th English Radio Drama Competition hosted by the Smart Education Charitable Foundation. It was a competition against an astronomical number of schools in Hong Kong and Macau. Over 200 teams joined, but only 11 teams had the chance to perform their radio drama live in front of judges and an audience in the Final round. We never tried anything like this, so we gave our best shot during the whole competition.

 

First, each team had to submit a script based on one of three topics. We chose the topic about exploring “uncharted waters”, which was about stepping out of our comfort zones to search for our inner self or exploring the meaning of life. As a team, we collaboratively discussed the story we wanted to share and developed characters with distinct personalities.

 

Next, 30 semi-finalists were announced (15 from the Primary level and 15 from the Secondary level). As one of the semifinalists, we then had to perform a 5-minute radio drama and submit our recording. We recorded our lines and edited them with sound effects to engage the listeners. Our group worked tirelessly at the school library to create a lively and realistic radio drama. With all the effort we put forth, we were satisfied with the end-product.

 

Months later, the finalists were announced, and we were one of five teams from the Secondary Division invited to perform our radio drama live at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was a unique experience performing live for a panel of adjudicators and audience which included our competitors, teachers and even some parents.

 

On the day of our live and final performance, we were up against four top schools in Hong Kong, making it quite nerve-racking at first. We gave our best performance, and alas, we were awarded the Bronze Award!

 

As such, this radio drama competition broadened our horizons, and we gained much more knowledge and ideas on this topic. It was a bittersweet moment since I will be leaving Hong Kong, but I am glad I had this truly unforgettable experience to collaborate with my friends at Hong Kong True Light College.

The HKFYG English Public Speaking Contest 2022

This school year, selected students from Secondary 2 joined the annual HKFYG English Public Speaking Contest 2022 hosted by the HKFYG Leadership Institute. To prepare for the contest, students attended evening workshops on November 24 and December 1 at the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building. It was an invaluable experience for students to get an opportunity to enrich their public speaking skills and share their speeches in front of their peers from different schools.

After the workshops, students entered the competition drafting their own speeches on a self-selected topic. Our students chose topics ranging from artificial intelligence to cloning to even the art of procrastination. On March 4, it was announced that 2B Melanie Wong and 2A Chara Yip had advanced to the District Semi-Finals with their captivating and relevant topics, the benefits of learning different languages and the implementation of VR in lessons, respectively.

Reflections from:

2B Melanie Wong

This year, I joined the HKFYG English Public Speaking Contest. I was astonished and almost cried when I received the notice that I had been admitted to the District Semi-Finals as I didn’t expect that I would enter the Semi-Finals. I am usually full of dread when it comes to having to speak in front of people, especially strangers. However, through this experience, it boosted my confidence and improved my speaking habits. I have learnt the skills of how to change the tone of voice and body language, for example, by using hand gestures and facial expressions.

My speech is about the benefits of learning different languages. It is about the benefits and the importance of learning new languages. It helps us connect with other cultures, improves our memory and boosts our confidence.

Championship in HKSSDC Junior 2021-22

Working tirelessly over the Christmas holidays, the S3 debate team pulled together to face off against a fierce opponent in the term 1 final of the Hong Kong Secondary Schools Debating Competition(HKSSDC). Charged with the topic “This House would allow negative advertising by companies against their competitors,” 3A Nicole Chan, 3A Jasie Chow and 3A Mary Mikfung Thewe argued fervently for negative advertising. With a very close match, the Hong Kong True Light College team managed to pull ahead and secure victory, becoming the champion of 2021-22 Hong Kong Secondary School Debating Competition Junior (Div II) (HKI & NT) Term 1 Final. Further sweetening the triumph, 3A Jasie Chow was awarded the best speaker of the match. As they proceed onto the second term, and hopefully the Grand Final, let’s all wish them the best and encourage them in their work!

 

During their regular training, the Junior Debate Team took their moment to celebrate their victory.

 

First win in Term 2 in HKSSDC Senior Team

Covid can stop us from going to school, but not from learning together. Although the epidemic has brought the holiday earlier, the HKSSDC debate competition was still held in the form of zoom. On the 30th of March, 5A Nicole Chan, Anna Chan and Tina Cheung, led by their team advisor, Ms. Yeung, defeated Tsung Tsin College in the motion “This house will deny smokers access to public healthcare.”

 

Participating in this competition as the chairperson this time, I felt the tremendous efforts of the debaters in this nerve-wracking match. I admire that our experienced debaters still put forward various arguments and evidence. Finally, impressed by their clear team line and good rebuttals,  the adjudicator announced that they won in this debate competition. Even though I wasn’t a debater, I learned some valuable debating skills from the adjudicator’s deliberations and their perfect teamwork. Congrats once again for their hard work paid off, and I look forward to the debate team continuing to be victorious.
