All this happened in one cold, but sunny February morning (9th February).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I set off to the Results Ceremony of the Kangaroo English Competition with my mentor. It took place at the Faculty of Science of E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, in a beautiful brick building. The prizes themselves were handed over in an auditorium which bears the name of famous mathematician J\u00e1nos Bolyai.<\/p>\n
Altogether 1620 primary school and 1810 secondary school students took part in the English competition. The latter were divided into five categories, depending on the level of their English knowledge. I was put into the highest category, so I had no less than 385 opponents.<\/p>\n
Although the ceremony saw hundreds of students receiving prizes for their results in the German and French competitions as well, it lasted just over an hour. After I had received my prize for coming second in the competition, namely a heavy book about historical leaders and a fancy \u2019certificate of merit\u2019, the students, parents, teachers and companions were given a so-called \u2019standing reception\u2019 in the hallways.<\/p>\n
Although we arrived home late in the afternoon and being tired, I enjoyed the results ceremony really much and, of course, I would love to attend such ceremonies as often as possible.<\/p>\n
