The 40th Recitation Contest!

On last Sunday, the 40^th Recitation Contest was held at the HGU by HESSL, the group of some ESS clubs in Hokkaido.  All participants gave great performances and I was so impressed!  I was particularly happy because Yusuke, a guy who is in first grade and performed in Poetry section, won the third prize!!  Reo, who gave a great speech, couldn’t get a prize, however his performance was wonderful.  And though members of Drama section couldn’t get prize unfortunately, they showed the best performance ever they have acted.  We second graders were chagrined and sorry that we didn’t able to guide them to get a prize.  But we were solaced by their smiles and words that thanked us for our help.  Anyway I am glad that they enjoyed their first contest.

 

By the way, I got some happy news!  One of my senior in the ESS club received notice of an informal decision!!  So I am going to the party for him tomorrow and now I’m thinking what present I should give him.  I think that a tie is best gift for congratulations of unofficial decision.  I guess that wine color one is suit him nicely.    Then I am planning to go shopping before the partyJ
