INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the Hong Kong Joint School Debating
Society (HKJSDS), I would like to invite your school to
participate in the HKJSDS Speech festival 2001. This
prestigious event will be sponsored by Wilfred K.H.Lam
& Co Solicitors and the Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel.
With the generous support of the Marco Polo Hong Kong
Hotel, this Annual HKJSDS Speech Festival will be held at
one of the Marco Polo Hotels on the week of April 23rd–27th.
It is an event organized by the HKJSDS Executive
Committee and has enjoyed enthusiastic support from
various secondary schools in Hong Kong in the past.
This event will provide an excellent opportunity
for your students to develop their English oratory skills,
raise their interest and standard in the English language
and to compete with students from other schools as well as
receive recognition for their talents.
The
competitions will be divided into the Junior Section
(Forms 1-3, Year 7-9) and Senior Section (Forms 4-7, Year
10-13).
