However, really the students have, in the end, taken the
lead and excelled all by themselves by using their skills

learnt in other areas, e.g. Drama Club and speech festival
participation, etc.

The students involved have really come a long way, in
what is only a relatively short amount of time (only 14
announcements in fact). They have developed very

good drama skills text interruption, and improved their
pronunciation. However, the most important outcome
is that their confidence has been boosted to far greater
levels than it was before and they have shown to other

students that if Form 2 students can achieve so much,
so can anyone.

Creating a print-rich environment

Another way we hoped to enrich the students’ vocabulary is by
making the school’s campus a print rich environment. Each week’s
idiom or proverb is made into a poster and displayed around
the school in prominent positions, to remind the students of the
meaning and also to be used during special English activities. For

example, one fun activity is where students are given three clues
to the meaning of an idiom or proverb and must search the school
for the right poster and idiom/proverb to get the answer.

Each week’s radio show presents a new English idiom or proverb to the students, which
are found in everyday spoken conversation. These are either inspiring proverbs to promote
decent manners or they are common idioms students can expect to find when speaking
to native speakers. It is hoped that they will not only inspire the students, but enrich their

vocabulary.

Let’s meet our English Announcement Team this year!

Yanni Chung
At the end of Form 1 my English teacher Mr. Cheung invited me

and some of my classmates, Howard, Edwin, Jacob and Bosco,
to join the English Announcement Team. When I heard this, I felt
a little confused because I didn’t know if I could do it well or not.
Although there are lots of difficulties being a part of the English

Announcement Team, with the help of my classmates, Mr. Cheung
and Mr. Stone, I have found a lot of joy inside. It feels like I’m at
the top of the mountain!
