A Report on the English Camp 2012 Last week during the school holidays, the English Language Society of SMK Taman Desa organized an English Camp. The camp’s objective was to inculcate the use of English amongst the school students in a more fun and exciting environment. The camp was held during the weekend and it was rather special as the students did not stay overnight. Activities were held from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. from Friday to Sunday. The attendance for the camp was quite large as many students were encouraged to join the camp. According to our teacher adviser and her team of seniors, there were sixty of us all from different classes of Form Three. The first activity that was held was the Talent Show. The students were divided into ten groups and a leader was elected from each team. The leader was then asked to draw a lot from a fish bowl. The strip of paper was the category of performance we had to do. Teams either had to sing, dance or put on a fashion show. The students were then given until after lunch to work on their performances. Immediately after a quick lunch, the students gathered at the main hall to start the Talent Show. It was quite a fun activity as the students got to sing in English or they danced to English songs. There were also two groups that had to put on fashion shows. One group dressed up their members in traditional costumes while the other group did an Eco-friendly themed fashion show where they dressed up in recyclable items. The group that won was the latter as they had made a beautiful evening gown out of black garbage bags. It even had plastic bag roses attached to the dress. Everyone was transfixed with the creation. When the teachers announced the winner, everyone clapped happily as they thought it was a good effort by team Go Green. The next day we had language games. The teams played a lot of these games and they worked very hard together to try to
