The talk by Ms Wena Poon at NLB was both insightful and interesting. We were there early and coincidentally met Ms Wena Poon in the lift. She chatted with us about our school life and about the talk she gave earlier in the morning.
She was very engaging in her speech and talked about various writing techniques and the climax graph. I remembered her saying the importance of dialogue and how she as a kid used to only pick books with dialogue. She also asked us to read lots of books and to watch English television programmes.
We were then left to write essays depending on any of the 5 categories. The winner of each category gets to take a toy home. We were then left to eat. After 30 minutes, we were called back and the winners were announced.
It was a really enjoyable experience and certainly not a waste of time. I believe that those who attended the talk agree with me.
Cheers,
Shaun
