Hi, Cathy, how did you find yesterday's speech competition?
Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing.
You didn't like the speeches?
Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know.
Hmm, you mean the judges?
I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best.
You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us.
But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech.
That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges.
Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best.
