HA NOI — The Ha Noi Millennium English Contest, jointly held by Apollo English and the Department of Education and Training in Ha Noi, sponsored by Nokia Ovi-Chat, has reached its final round, after being officially launched in May. The event will be held on Sunday at the Tuoi Tre Theatre in Ha Noi.

After beating nearly 2,000 students from more than 100 high schools, 25 students from 13 high schools in Ha Noi, all with the highest scores in the first two rounds, have been short listed to compete with each other to determine the winner of this contest.

The final round is comprised of three parts: Part One – Quick Q&A, Part Two – Sudden Death, and Part Three – Oral Presentation. In Part One, 25 students will answer 10 questions with varying levels of difficulty.

The 10 students with the highest scores will then enter the next part – Sudden Death. The five best students of that section will then enter the third – Oral Presentation.

The topics for these segments will revolve around the history of Ha Noi. In the last part, the five final students will take turns giving a presentation on the theme "Learning from the 1,000-year history of Ha Noi: what will the youth of today do?"

An additional question from the judging board will be asked after each presentation.

The selection criteria includes a knowledge of history, English language abilities and good presentation skills. The winners will receive valuable awards, scholarships and gifts from Apollo and Nokia.
