The final round of the Japanese Speech Contest 2010 held at the Japanese Association's auditorium on 4 July (Sun) showcased a wide range of brilliant speeches. 24 finalists from the 4 categories - Secondary School, Junior College, Tertiary and Open categories presented their speeches before a packed auditorium full of anxious parents, teachers, friends, siblings and fellow speakers. Selected from among 53 participants through the preliminary and semi-final rounds, they were judged on originality, pronunciation, fluency, grammar, content and delivery of speech on a topic of their choice. T h e a n n u a l c o n t e s t , j o i n t l y organised by Embassy of Japan, the Japanese Cultural Society Singapore, the Japanese Association Singapore, Japanese Chamber of Commerce & Industry Singapore and the Japanese University Graduates Association of Singapore, saw an extremely high standard. The audiences were treated to a traditional Japanese cultural performance which showcased Shishimai (Japanese lion dance) and Daikokusama (Japanese fortune god) while the panel of judges headed by Mr Teng Theng Dar was deliberating on the results. In her closing speech, Guest-o f - H o n o u r, M s G r a c e F u H a i Yien, Senior Minister of State for Ministry of National Development a n d M i n i s t r y o f E d u c a t i o n commended the concerted efforts of the organisers for providing the Japanese learners in Singapore a platform to practise and showcase their language ability as well as their public speaking skills. She felt that "one of the key success factors in learning a foreign language, other than perseverance and passion, i s t h e o p p o r t u n i t y t o u s e t h e language" and the speech contest is an "excellent way to practise their spoken Japanese". She thus urged the organizers "t o c o n t i n u e t h e g o o d w o r k " o f o r g a n i z i n g t h e c o n t e s t a s Singaporeans who are conversant in the Japanese language can act as bridges to other countries like Japan and this would help enhance Singapore-Japan relations. We congratulate all
the finalists and extend a warm thank you to the audience members who took
time to support and ensure the success of the event. We would also like to
extend our appreciation to the sponsors for their continued and generous
support. Special thanks also go to all volunteer tutors who had coached the
contestants. |
