Muscat Daily Listen Up - Semi Finals

 

Muscat Daily Staff Writer  - 

This year’s Muscat Daily Listen Up contest, is only getting more interesting.

On Wednesday, it was a delight to see how eloquent the students of Sri Lankan School Muscat could get on their opinions.

From the junior category, Viduni Piyasiri won a spot in the finals. “There are many factors that make me happy, but my parents are the foundation of my happiness,” she said in the prepared speech, What Makes Me Happy.

In her unprepared speech too - My Dream Home - she was all praise for her parents. “I want to be like my parents who have a dream home. I dream of having a home with nice bedrooms with book shelves to enhance my reading habits.”

Most middle category contestants chose Manners Matter as the topic for their prepared speech. “Manners speak louder about you and they differentiate between man and animals. Childhood is the best time to inculcate manners,” Chaga Bihari Mahingoda, winner of the category said.

Going into the unprepared segment, she spoke on how Healthy Body Leads to Healthy Mind. “If you are not healthy body-wise, your mind gets sick because of the pressure that the sick body puts on the mind.”

Osama Ashraf won from the senior category. He spoke on Can We Really Tell Our Teachers What’s On Our Minds? in the prepared segment. “I don’t think we should share each and every thing with our teachers because they are so special and the respect we have for them prevents us from doing so,” he said.

In the impromptu speech on Should Your Parents Control You or You Control Yourself?, he said, “Everyone should be in charge of his or her destiny. Parents play a vital role in shaping us, but we should not wait for them to do it forever. We should take control of ourselves.”
