sharing my experience from yesterday afternoon's food fair...

Yesterday's food fair was awful, everything was a mess. The teachers were useless.First, before we went down to the lower hall, the teachers don't know whether we were going to the H.E. room or lower hall. Then after a while, another teacher told us to go to the lower hall.
When we went down, lots of students have found a place for their group, except our class. We need to rush to the table, if not, other students would took it. We all thought that we need to follow the paper that Mr.Woo gave us. When we go to our table, someone had took it. And they said that Mr.Woo gave us another paper, and group them again. We ask them for the paper, they gave it to us and we saw that that was our place. They didn't care. We saw a place that is against the wall. We rushed towards the table, But the teacher said the was for the reception. So we walk away to find another table.
After that we found another place near the stage in the meddle of the lower hall. We set up all the things, then we saw the table that the teacher use for the reception is lent to a group in 2w. My group and Kelly's group was very unsatisfied. Kelly's group asked the teacher why before they can't use it but after that the teacher lent it to another group.
Their group was very mad and they started to shout at the teacher, and some of them started to cry too.
Meanwhile, we went to the H.E. room to reheat, it was 12:30 already,we all hungry and tried. We ate some of the food that we made for the food fair. I thought they taste good and smell good too, although they didn't look very fine and nice.
The food fair started, everyone got crazy, some groups are screaming and yelling for more people to come and buy the food. We brought some food and walk around, everyone looks very busy. I bought a cake form 2G and bought a cup of noodles from Carmel's group. The noodles are as delicious as the one made in Hotel.
After the food fair, we needed to put bake all the tables and chairs, i think it was a quite meaningful thing because the school workers
didn't need work that hard for what we did to the lower hall. We played the balloon that we took it from the ground and we had fun at last.
I thought the teachers need to order the group to settled down, it was waste of time to find a place to settle down. And the teachers need us to talk in english with our friends while preparing or others, but it didn't work because most of us dont have time to think how to express it out and somehow chinese is their(or our)mother tongue. It is difficult for them to use all in english.

Hi Mia, you and I share the same sentiment - the food fair was chaos. Yet, part of that chaos originated from my poor planning and I'll discuss that in class today.

Though the table-scrum was unpleasant, your food certainly was delicious.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with making this an English-only event; perhaps we should focus on life skills next time.
