three different poems. Finally, I narrowed down on ‘The Duel’ by çfr;ksfxrk dk ifj.kke% lqudj lHkh yksV&iksV gks x,A ;|fi eq>s bl çfr;ksfxrk esa dksbZ iqjLdkj ugha feyk

myself further. I truly felt that I did. I could see how much I grown from last vkfnR; flag fc"V] ih 2 th

arrived, I was anxious and excited at the same time. When I went on stage, I f}rh; iqjLdkj
just took a deep breath and went for it. I must admit, when they called out the fj;kuk tSu] ih 2 ,Q
results, I was a little disappointed. But at the same time, I felt a lot of pride at
my performance. Now I cannot wait to give it my best shot again next year, as r`rh; iqjLdkj

by ‘Edgar. A. Guest’. It tells us about not leaving hope at all in the ups and

downs of our life. The English elocution was lots of fun. I felt proud of my
friends who recited well. I thank my teacher for guiding us all the way for
the right intonation and boosting up our confidence. I enjoyed my day so much. pkjoh cjkFkh] ih 2 ,Q
