We're The Second Winner

        Last term LIA held a Wall Bulletin Competition. Each class must make a wall bulletin in one meeting. The wall bulletin is about “Our Hope For LIA Tendean in the Future”. From that theme, we decided to give our wall bulletin`s theme modernization. Our teacher, Ms. Verra, suggested us to divide into 3 groups. The first is presentation, the second is decorator, and the third is article writer. We agreed to choose Mamad as a leader of our group. And then Ms. Verra chose Dian, Dewa, and Mia as presenters; Erin and Fitri as  decorators; Lia, Alya, and Angga as article writers.

Next day, we planned to take our picture wearing our batik uniform in Tugu Muda. But that was cancelled because many of us couldn`t come. While Alya had already borrowed a heavy tripod camera and SLR to the school. Alya felt dissappointed. We felt sorry to her.

Then we decided to change our gathering on the following Sunday in “Taman Makam Pahlawan”. Most of us had come there, but Dian, Dewa, and Fitri couldn`t come, so our plan to take a picture was cancelled again. Because we didn`t want to waste our time again, we used that time to prepare for the decoration. About 3 o`clock we went home.

And then, the deadline, Monday, came. We brought all the materials that we needed to make our wall bulletin. Lia and Angga came earliest. They interviewed the canteen keeper, Ms. Rahma, and the parking attendant about their hope for LIA in the future. Their answers were different from each other, but they hope the best for LIA.

After that, all of us gathered in the class to make the wall bulletin. We worked hard for the best that we can do. We decorated as uniquely as possible. After finishing our wall bulletin, we took a video for our presentation. Dian, Dewa, and Mia presented the best from them. Ms. Verra took our presentation by using her digital camera. All of us participated for the video.

Finally, on the following week, the announcement of the winner came....!!! We got the second winner and we got many prizes. We were so excited and celebrated together in our class. It was an unfogettable moment for our class.

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

Announcing The Winners

All competition must have winners.

To choose three winners are not easy as pie. There are three judges involved in this contest, and we decide that Mr. Taufiq, Ms. Mima, and Ms. Arum are suitable for this honored position. 

The scores themselves are gotten from three categories, they judge a piece of wall bulletin from its design, content, and presentation. The score itself ranges from 1-5 ( refers to LIA's scoring system ). After counting the average scores of all participants, we got the winners! Yet, there are complicated ways to announce the winners. We have to gather classes in every slot and announce it. And....The winners are......*drums*

• High Intermediate 1 got the First Place
• Intermediate 3 got the Second Place
• High Intermediate 2 got the Third Place

Our job is done, winners have been announced and prizes have been distributed, but what about the losers? 

Ooops!

They aren't losers, they just aren't the winners :-) How come we call all participants who have sacrificed lots of things as losers? Once again, they aren't losers, they just aren't winners xD

So long, folks! Thanks a million for your participation, we'll see you again in the next competition. :-))

All Results Originate From Their Process

There are a lot of stories to be told on the previous Wall Bulletin contest. Yes, they are the stories behind the creation. Some classes have great resources, like great number of students, great planning, and of course, great fund, since they have to buy the equipment needed to make the wall bulletin. Most of them have sacrificed their time to arrive home on time because, it seems that one session, equals to two hours, is not enough for them. Some of them have to stay ten minutes or even two hours after the course time has been over. Thank God they don't mind, and to my surprise, they enjoy being in that situation. They wouldn't have done it if they hadn't loved LIA Tendean. Our greatest sincere appreciation goes to and only for them, our beloved students. Here I'm gonna show you their pictures when they're in the process of completing their masterpiece. 

Check them out: 

Oh! Almost forgot! Their class teachers also play very important role to their work. Once again, mucho mucho gracias for the cooperation, folks! LIA Tendean is nothing without all of you, guys! xD
