Zion Cup English Contest finalists

During the 1st semester, all 1st and 2nd year students write and perform speeches within their Oral English and Discussion classes. This week, all classes have performed their speeches, with three finalists being chosen from each 1st-year class, and two from each 2nd-year class. These finalists will practice their speeches during the summer vacation, before the semi-final and final in mid-October. We wish them all the best of luck!
