BBC Speaking Awards 2010

BBC Speaking Awards 2010

This is a report which considers the BBC Speaking Awards 2010.

The participants come from all sorts of secondary schools or
universities. They are aged between 16 and 20 years. Every school can sign in
students. The students compete in the regional rounds. The best ones go to the
semi finals. The eight best students join the National Final in Amsterdam. The
international final takes place in London. The judges are highly qualified
volunteers.

This leads me to my opinion of this year’s finalists in Holland. For me
Roza Rashaan was the best one. In my opinion her pronunciation was really
excellent, it sounds like she is a native speaker. Speaking for myself her
presentation had a very good structure and was really professional. I believe
that Michelle Ngo should gain the second place, she had good pronunciation too.
I think the only disadvantage I could think of is that she stutters sometimes.
And the third place is for Marjolein Wiersma, this is because her expression is
really good and she is speaking about a current topic.

I completely agree with the jury, because Roza Rashaan is the winner of
the competition and in my opinion she was the best too. She won because she
gave a good opening and had an excellent intonation. The winner of the public
speaking awards is Marjolein Wiersma, because she had remarkably clear diction
and her presentation was really clear. What I mean is really true.

I think this is a very good competition and it stimulates students to
improve their English speaking. If I get the opportunity to participate, I
would really like that. I want to talk about social media like hyves, facebook
and twitter.
