How was the Team Competition 2? Did you enjoy it?
Class 3-2
On July 5th, we had
second team competition. The title was "Game show". My team was Italy
and my team T.A. prepared this competition so our team members were really
looking forward to it. The first round was "Golden bell" game; and
the first question was very interesting. It was "What does GEO stand for?”
and the answer was “Global English Outreach”. Actually it was just a warm up
question so it seemed many students did not care much about the answer. But
while we were doing first round, they gave us the exact same question. Many of
the students were unable to answer it because they thought warm up question was
not important. I think T.A. knew that
kind of things would happen, so they made a trap in this game. As for the other
questions, I think the hardest questions were the ones that required us to
write down name of the famous actors. I didn't know the spelling but my partner
knew it, therefore I think it is always better to work with others instead of
working alone.
The second round
Jeopardy was more like a real "team competition" which all team
members had to dedicate for the team. Every team sat together and team leaders
were the only ones who were allowed to send the answers to the judge. It was a really
hard game because in my team, there was no one who could type fast. When we
knew the answer, we tried to send it but while we were typing, usually other
teams already sent out the answer. So we felt little blue and frustrated about
it. However, we did our best so there were no regrets.
Finally, the last
round we had for the Game Show was ‘O/ X Quiz’. Because I didn't know the
answer for the second question, my turn was finished quickly. But my team
captain remained until the last question so our team won the competition. Actually,
it was not important whether we win or lose. We really did well and everyone had
so much fun! I'm now really enjoying my GEO 24; there are a lot of interesting
activities and programs that can help us to improve English skills. I just can’t
wait for the next competition.
