Just yesterday, I participated in the semi- finals of a competition called '' Plain English Speaking Awards '', which is PESA in short. When I say ' Plain English ', I do not mean the " plain " as in '' Plain Waffle ''. What Plain English means is using simple words that everyone will understand and it also means not using BIG words like '' philosophy '', '' aromatic '' and.... you get the idea. This competition is a storytelling competition, but not just saying any story but a story with simple words like ' big ' instead of ' GIGANTIC '. Last year, this competition was 22 years old. Now it's turned 23 years old. Last year when I was still a puny P2, I went to the competition too and lost during the preliminary rounds. Now this year, I managed to get into the semi- finals and just yesterday, I received news that I was a finalist, which also means that I went to the finals! ( What great achievement ! )
Another good thing is that - BURP - my teacher still owes me a McDonald's treat! She bet with me initially that if I went to the semi- finals, she would buy me a McDonald's meal. When I went to the semi, she said that she would buy me ANOTHER McDonald meal! She bought one value meal for me, but she stills owes me another meal! So dear teacher, if you are reading this, remember, next time bet with something else cheaper!
The FINALS are coming soon and I do hope I will win. Now, I'm signing off as I need to finish my unfinished fries and fish burger.
Until that, I'll always be your writer and eater,
GEORGE RING
