Summary

The Times Spelling Bee competition is a show that keeps people awake. The participants to this show can spell words that most of the adults do not even know. They also do this at a speed that is sometimes even faster than just saying the word. Liam, who is only twelve years old, won the competition by spelling words like, kleptomaniac, cytoplasm and vestigial. A lot of parents and teachers were standing in the public and sometimes did not even dare to watch. A lot of parents were very proud of their children, even if they had not won.

Reaction

I think this kind of competions are very good to show how much knowledge a child can have. They are able to spell words that I do not even know, and that a can not even pronuciate correctly. I think this really suites the Times, because this is a competition that is looking for very intelligent people and is looking for people that are very smart. Ths Times is just the right company to make a competition like this. I hope they will make such a programm in Holland, because I am for certain that I will lose.
