High Intermediate 1: The Road to Winning The Contest


        One day, Ms Nana came to class and announced that there was a wall bulletin competition. At first, we felt so lazy, the topic was “ Our hope for our beloved LIA Tendean in the future. The committee gave us 5 days to finish the wall bulletin.
We were confused to match our schedule to make the wall bulletin. Finally, we agreed to make the wall bulletin on Friday at DP Mall. Out of 9 people, only 6 people could come. So, we decided to divide ourselves into two groups, the group who would design the wall bulletin and the group who would do the presentation. Dede, Nia, Ubi, Dita, Uchi, and Fadhia belonged to group 1, and Hadian, Retma, and Rifka belonged to group 2.
On March 2, 2012, group 1 gathered at DP Mall to make the concept for the wall bulletin. The concept was that we divided our hopes into 4 parts, they are:
1. Building
Our hopes for LIA Tendean’s building in the future. We hoped that LIA Tendean would always upgrade the facilities and the interface of the building, as expensive as the course fee.
2. Teachers
LIA Tendean’s teachers must be interactive, kind, young, energetic, and also attractive. They also must give us knowledge beyond the lessons and motivate the students to speak English well.
3. Students
We hoped that LIA Tendean gave a big discount for the students, so more students could come and join and make LIA Tendean as crowded as that in the past.
4. Trophy
We hoped that, in the future, LIA would hold a lot of students’ competitions that could make students speak English fluently, and LIA Tendean would award the best student, the best teacher, and the best class annually.

We’ve already got the concept of our wall bulletin. Next Tuesday, we would make the design and brief the presentation group about our concept.
On March 6, 2012, we brought the equipment to make a wall bulletin and everything was ready. So, we began to make it. We gave a home for our bulletin, it was BOHAI or BULLETIN OF HI ONE. It needed two hours to design and decorate the wall bulletin, while group 2 studied the presentation materials.
At 7:10 pm, the bulletin was ready to be presented. Ms. Verra came to our class to videotape our presentation. After the presentation was over, Ms. Verra said that it was the longest presentation of all the classes xD.
On March 13, 2012, Ms. Nana said that the wall bulletin’s winners would be announced at 6:30 pm. We were very nervous as we saw that the other wall bulletins were all great. Then we were called to join other classes in R.207. It was so crowded. First, all classes were given tokens of appreciation as the symbols of our participation. They were key chains with LIA logo on them. After that, Ms. Verra started to announce the winner. She had announced that the second winner was Intermediate 3 students from Monday-Wednesday class. Then, she announced the third winner, which was gotten by HI 2 students. We felt hopeless at that time, because we thought that HI 2’s wall bulletin was better than ours. But then, Ms. Verra announced that the first place was ours! We were so surprised, happy, and excited at the same time. After we took the prize, we took pictures, and finally, we went back to our class and of course, we had a big party! xDD
