M: Now could everyone sit down, please? I’ve got an important announcement to make. As you know, the national school poetry competitions that we usually enter are starting soon. The competitions are sorted into three levels: the high level, the middle level and the low level. The high level is for 17-to-19-year-olds, and the middle level is for 14-to-16-year-olds. But the one for people of your age, the low level, is the one we’d like you to go for. We hope all of you will try. As some of you may remember, the topic for last year was “Weather”. This time the judges have chosen the topic “Change”, and that could cover a lot of things. A new school, a different house, for example.

So if you want to enter the competition but you’re stuck for ideas, have a look at last year’s winning poem called Rain on the competition website. You may know the girl who wrote it-Maria from our school. She also got a little book of her poem called Traveling published as part of her prize. Maria won some money for the school. If anyone in the school wins, we’d like to use the money for the library, as we feel that’s the right way for it to be spent. Maria’s prize money last year was spent on the computers and the lab. OK, that’s all from me. For more information, please visit our school’s website.
