Today we were invited to attend an English speaking contest focusing on American and British culture. I really enjoyed it ended up singing the national anthem and watching some pretty funny competitions and games as well as amusing answers to questions such as our famed "President Jefferson-Lincoln". These competitions will go on periodically throughout the year and always feature a host and hostess as well as 16 contestants who rotate each time. The event was very well attended with about 100 people in the audience consisting of mainly students from the English department. The half-time show was a rendition of a Shania Twain song and the singer even managed to get a southern accent and twang in there.
