| Preliminary Round Group 1 |
I used to attend this event recently as a judge but today for a change, I was bringing a student of SMK Dato' Jaafar. One reason: all the English teachers were out today with their own set of students for other competitions like choral speaking and Scrabble.

| Preliminary Round Group 1 |
The Public Speaking Competition for Johor Bahru district level this year was held SMK Aminuddin Baki. There were more than 30 contestants taking part this time. There were 2 groups for the preliminary round and the three winners from each group were selected to go to the final round. The vote cast put us in Group 1 where there were 16 schools competing. There were 2 sections in which students were being judged - prepared speech and impromptu speech.
Aidan Leo, a form three SDJ student, managed to make his way to the final round with a composed and confident presentation. He then had to present another impromptu speech to compete with the other 5 contenders.

| the chief judge giving her comment |
Aidan had definitely won the judges' hearts and emerged the winner of the Johor Bahru District Public Speaking Competition 2018.
Aidan has made the school proud. I know he is a good speaker but he still had actually worked really hard for this. Even though I might have only contributed a small percentage to this, I am still glad to be able to be a part of his success.
We have now to prepare for the state level competition next.
