Language Activity for March-April

You will need the latest KGRE April magazine for this language activity. Look at page 5 and read the very brief article about Nicole Kidman. KGRE would like Clubs to write a similar article about one of Indonesia’s favourite film stars or singers. Of course it must be in English. The articles sent to us will all be used on the KGRE website in June so get your entries in before the end of May, 2002.

Also check out the HUGE language activity in May edition of ‘Hello’ magazine.
It will also be on the ‘Hello’ page of the website in early May.

Winners of last month’s KGCC Language Activity


Only four Clubs responded to the activity and that was very disappointing indeed. Why didn’t more Clubs take advantage of the opportunity and use the activity as a Club activity - working together is a great way to enjoy improving your English. Thanks once again to the very active Space Club in Bandung,  Batak’s English Club in Medan and Best Forum Club in Makassar. The winning entry however was from Le Lombok Cyberla (see below). They have won copies of KGRE Series 33 as well as the audio copy of KGRE December magazine for your Club to use. They will also receive 5 KGRE T-shirts, 20 KG key rings and some other goodies to use as prizes in their own Club language activities. Congratulations!
