My English Elocution
This week, an English Elocution was held in my school and I chose to participate. Like every year, my parents and I racked our brains about which poem to recite. Honestly, we were going mad, what with the, elocution, notebook submission, extra projects, approaching exams, god knows what! Last year, in the English Elocution, one of the participants had written his own poem and he ended up getting the first prize !! So my Dad came up with a great idea (his best idea yet)- how about writing my own poem. So now we had to figure which poem to write. One week before the elocution, my father and I were walking in the garden and we came up with 7 paragraphs. So we decided that we would go down to the garden and write the poem because it helps us concentrate. So, 3 days before the elocution, we went down again to write the remaining three paragraphs. We were down for 2 hours! Who knew writing a poem was such hard work! So now I only had to learn the poem by heart. That was easy...
