Of dit nou \u2019n groot of lang woord met ingewikkelde spelling of \u2019n klein, kort alledaagse woord is \u2013 twee leerders van Ho\u00ebrskool Cloetesville (HSC) kan dit spel, en dit in minder as 30 sekondes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cohen Green (14, gr. 8) en Wayleetha Keyster (15, gr. 9) van HSC het verlede Saterdag (15 Oktober) skoonskip gemaak in die Engelse afdeling van die US Toyota Woordfees se WOW-spelkompetisie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green was die wenner en Keyster het derde ge\u00ebindig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nagenoeg 58 skole het aan die spelkompetisie deelgeneem en gr. 8- en gr. 9-leerders moes meer as 600 woorde leer om hulle op die kompetisie voor te berei. Die spelkompetisie word oor \u2019n tydperk van \u2019n jaar gehou met uitdunne in die streek, provinsiaal en ook in nasionale rondes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green en Keyster het al twee goed gevaar en van die streek- en provinsiale uitdunne na die nasionale ronde deurgedring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
HS Cloetesville se spelafrigter, Ashleigh Thys, s\u00ea die leerders het hard geoefen en sy is baie trots op hulle. \u201cDie kompetisie is straf, maar hulle het gewys hulle kan met leerders van die beste skole meeding en beter vaar ook,\u201d het sy bygevoeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thys s\u00ea die kompetisie was baie uitputtend en hulle moes tussen 19 en 28 rondes trotseer om tot die eindstryd deur te dring. \u201cDit is intens en kan langdradig word. Elke leerder het slegs 30 sekondes om \u2019n woord te spel, en jy moet mooi luister om seker te maak jy spel die regte woord. Sodra jy begin spel, begin jou tyd loop.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green s\u00ea hy is verlig dat hy gewen het. \u201cEk het geweet ek staan \u2019n kans om te wen en my beste gegee. Ek het nie eintlik hard geleer nie \u2013 ek het net deur die woorde gelees,\u201d voeg hy by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keyster s\u00ea sy het net vier dae gehad om vir die nasionale kompetisie te leer. \u201cEk het my woorde by die skool vergeet voor die skool gesluit het en kon nie tydens die vakansie oefen nie \u2013 ek het toe intussen deur my woordeboek gegaan en woorde se definisies geleer,\u201d s\u00ea Keyster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag ons dank aan die WOW-span asook die Engelse departement betuig,\u201d voeg Thys by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
