2008 English contest for children ended: Dinh Bui My Linh and Nguyen Ngoc Anh Thu won 1st prizes

High-ranking secondary school candidates in the final

    The contest, which was for primary and secondary school levels, was held by the provincial Children’s House, Department of Science and Technology and Department of Education and Training. Candidates spent 3 rounds: 1st round (objective tests), 2nd one (quizzes for fun) and 3rd one (the final). In the final round, competitors took such skills as listening, speaking (making a lecture on an optional topic), reading and writing.

    Eventually, for primary school level, the 1st prize was awarded to Dinh Bui My Linh from Hoa Binh School (Bien Hoa City), the 2nd to Nguyen Hoang Son from Phan Boi Chau School (Thong Nhat District) and the 3rd to Nguyen Bao Chieu from Trinh Hoai Duc (Bien Hoa City). For secondary school level, the 1st prize was given to Nguyen Ngoc Anh Thu from Ngo Thoi Nhiem School (Dinh Quan District), the 2nd to Nguyen Pham An Thuy from Hung Vuong School (Bien Hoa City) and the 3rd to Nguyen Trung Nguyen from Nguyen Hien School (Xuan Loc District). In addition, the organization board awarded 5 encouragement prizes to the rest of candidates.

    The contest is part of the "talent-cultivating" plan of the program of training and fostering talents, which belongs to the human resources training project to serve and develop Dong Nai's economy and society in the 2006-2010-2020 period. Therefore, the organization board, through the contest, will select some qualified secondary school candidates to join in English extracurricular classes, giving them a chance to practice international standard English skills to apply for overseas scholarships.
