Laf Ebesi / Prepared and Impromptu Speech Contest
The Turkish-Social Department once again hosted its annual “Laf Ebesi / Prepared and Impromptu Speech Contest” on Friday, May 3. The opening speech of Anka SÜNBÜL kicked off our competition, which seeks to develop the abilities of expressing one’s emotions and thoughts with integrity and consistency and speaking in front of the community.
Our students gave a three-minute prepared speech on a topic of their choosing in the first of the competition’s two parts, which was hosted by eighth-grader Lara GENÇ. In the second part, the top six performers gave impromptu speeches for two minutes on topics chosen by the speech wheel.
The competitors’ speeches were assessed by the jury based on their “mastery of the subject, consistency, pronunciation, fluency, originality, and richness of vocabulary.” Following the jury’s assessment, Alp DURU from 5B took first place, followed by Uras BAHÇEKAPILI from 5C and Ece SANALP from 7A. We congratulate and wish ongoing success to all of our students who took part in the competition.
