Practical English on Wednesday

Time is flying. Today is Wednesday again; it is Practical English time in the afternoon. Usually, we go to visit some interesting places in Dunedin or stay at school do some activities.

The week before last, we had a spelling competition at school which is similar to the New Zealand Great Spelling Bee on TV programmer on Sunday night, but our one is called the Polytechnic Great Spelling Bee. I took place in this competition, unfortunately, I didn’t win, but I’m glad that my best friend Jian won.

Last week, we visited ODT (Otago Daily Time). I really enjoyed it. Before this visiting, just like most of people, I thought it would be easy to make a newspaper. After that, I changed my mind. Everything is not easy. We visited the Press Room, Machinery Room and Print Room. It was amazing to see a huge machine was running and newspapers were flying on the transferring chain. As Channel 9 and the Star are all in the same building, we had a chance to visit Channel 9. The workers there were friendly; they answered any things we’ve asked and took some photos for us. It was the best time I've ever had.

This afternoon, we may do some activities at school instead visiting Dunedin Police Station, because of a bad weather. However, I like Wednesday afternoon, it's fun.
