Student’s thoughts on GEO 15′s Speed Quiz Challenge

Students from Class 3-1 shares theis Speed Quiz sentiments.

Jang Dae Gwan, Team Tuvalu

The GEO Speed Quiz was held in IH Conference Hall last January 4. I played the game with X league teams: Kenya, Seychelles, Jamaica and Tuvalu, which is my team. The rules of the game were simple. We had to explain the answers in English, but the use of gestures were prohibited.

Whenever it is our team’s turn came, the answers were too difficult to explain. So, our team didn’t get a high score. We would like to win but we couldn’t. I’m sure we’ll do better next time.

Ahn Jee Hoon, Team New Zealand

I am a member of team New Zealand. Our team is composed of Professor Jerry, TA Bo Ram and 16 members.

Wednesday, January 4, was the day of the Speed Quiz. We still didn’t get too close with each other. But we had to start practice; our professor, Jerry, was very passionate. He led us to a systematic and powerful practice. Thanks to Jerry, we were able to do a good practice.

Speed Quiz started and Jerry passionately cheered for us. His powerful cheer made us courageous but our team was at the bottom. Jerry told us, “never mind, who laughs last, laughs best.” We were impressed with his words.

Although our team was at the bottom, thanks to Jerry’s enthusiastic encouragement for our team to make the loudest cheer. Because of our loud cheer, our team received bonus points. During this occasion, our team became intimate. As a result, a week later, we were able to place third in Sports Night. The Speed Quiz made our team united.
