Spelling Bee
Last term we (some students from
class 9th A) went to this competition in Almeida Garret library
in Oporto. It was very fun. You probably have heard of it before, it's
called Spelling Bee. It's a spelling competition (it's very common in the USA),
in which everyone is handed a paper to write the words they hear, and who gets
seventeen or more passes to the semi-finals, where they have to spell words of
increasing difficult levels.
None of us had more than
seventeen words right so we didn't get to the semi-finals, but Gabriel actually
got a word right when the referee that was saying the words asked
the audience, so he received a sticker. However, he was a bit disappointed with himself. We were in the event for
about three to four hours because we wanted to see who was going to win the
competition. It was awesome, and we were able to skip
school for that matter, which is always a plus. I think our teacher found it very
interesting as well and we're so grateful she took us there. It was an
opportunity that we probably wouldn't have gotten if it wasn't for her. Another
amazing thing about it was that we went by train. It's not that big of a deal, but you
know..., friends together always have great fun.
To sum this all up, we just
want to remark that we really liked it and we want to repeat. If you ever get
an opportunity to go, take it, because if we do, we definitely will!
Joana – 9th A
