On September
14, 2014, Oakridge International School conducted a Spell Bee Contest. Students
from many schools participated in this competition. I was one of the
adventurous ones too. We had to prepare from a list of 450 words. Round 1 of the Spell Bee was conducted in two phases: dictation and a combination of unscrambles, fill-in-the-blanks and ‘choose the correct option’. We were given 25 minutes for each phase.
Some of the words were a little difficult but I think I got them correct. Words like ‘paleolithic’, ‘picayune,’ ‘imbroglio’ and ‘coyote’ really made me think!
At the end
of the contest, we were also handed instructions to a 3-phase word journey
wherein you have to practise three words daily and write them on a chart. I worked very hard to prepare for this contest. I really hope I get through to the next round!
