English Language Competitive Work (Description + Materials)

I completely forgot about this event. The event was taking place in January, I just forgot to post this. It was a kind of competition between the best students of 9th form. We had to choose the best one for The Official English Language Olimpiad. One week before the teachers started searching for the materials which would be suitable and interesting. I was asked to help, to suggest something. Unfortunately, there were any hints what we had to prepare for the students in order to made them to revise something and to catch their interest. It was strange because a year ago and before that it was clear what the teachers had to give for the students to get ready for the official olimpiad. This time was completely different so, we had to decide on our own. We decided to include two listening activities, then two reading activities and finally, the tasks on grammar and word formation. Before the decisive day, we chose the students who would like to take part in that competition. The students were informed what they had to revise, when they had to come and of course, they were provided with information about the time and place. Finally, it started and I was left with a class of about 14 or 15 students. I gave in the papers for them and asked to get ready for the first task. Before that I asked to check them if they had all the papers and all the tasks. Firstly, we did listening activities. As always, I played the recording twice. The students had some time to correct or match the answers and then they started to work with two reading tasks and other exercises. It took about an hours and a half for the students to cope with all the task. The next day, I and my mentor started checking the papers. There were many good works, the amount of mistakes  was unbelievable small. Finally, after all the works were corrected, we found out two best students who would go to the official olimpiad. We were forced to choose them by drawing of lots.
