In my previous post I mentioned about English language contest. I'll continue about it in this post.
So the final part took place in the middle of April. Each time there were 2 people comming in. I went in with my friend. He almost won the contest last year because he got 2nd place in final. So we were given 2 tasks. One was conversation. I chose really easy subject. I had to tell in which situations man are better than women and vice versa. Everyone could prepare before answering for 5 minutes with a sheet of paper and a pen. So the first part went really easily. I wrote on piece of paper like 10 reasons on advantage of men and 10 on disadvantage. Answering that part took me quite much of time. The discussion I've done the best I could I guess. After my words " that's everything I wanted to say... " the committee that consisted of 3 people (2 women and one man) said I said already a lot and there is no need to ask more.
I still didn't describe 2nd task. It was about teamwork. Every 2 people had to discuss between themselves about situation that has just happened. One person had to agree and second to disagree or find a solution to a problem. Me and my friend met on the bench in the park. It turned out that we were waiting for the same girl. So we had to discuss with eachother and find the solution. We were speaking for 2 minutes maybe.
So the guy I talked with got 2nd place last year and I was a bit better than him in that task. He also got 1st place during 1st part of the contest in March which was about choosing the right answer from A, B, C or D. So I was hoping for a good outcome as I've done very well.
We waited like 3 hours until we found out who won. It was surprising as last year. 1st and 2nd place got 2 guys who has done very well while arguing with each other. One of them had to pretend as if he was a teacher and another as if he was a student that was accused of stealing school register. Teacher said they've done very well in that part. So obviously it let them win it. The interesting fact is they knew before how the final would look like as they had some lessons with 1 teacher that was part of committee.
I got 4th place. Just like a year ago. My friend was somewhere 7-10th. I thought he would be way higher as he had the highest score of everyone at 1st part of contest month before.
I got a little surprised of the score and dissapointed. But Im still happy. Its not that easy to be 4th at college were a lot of students study.
