| Medan English Society The Medan English Society is undoubtedly a very active and dynamic English Club. There are several English Clubs in Medan that are in the KGCC network and yet Medan English Club is the only Club that never fails to communicate with KGRE. Emails and CARs regularly arrived at the KGRE office. Their reports are always interesting to read. It seems that this Club is well-managed and that all of the members are very committed to run this Club successfully. This is confirmed in this brief summary of the club: Medan English Society (MES) is one of the Kang Guru Connection Clubs which is based in Medan. The motto of the Club is “Fun, Fresh and Smart”. MES provides such a conducive atmosphere for those who want to practice their English. MES has been joining together with Kang Guru Radio English for more than two years. KGRE is the network that is made up of over 50 active English Clubs from many different parts of Indonesia. Each Kang Guru Connection Club has its own activities done at their base. MES welcomes those who are really interested in improving their English language skills to join our Club activities. Good job guys. Show What You MeantWe are happy to tell you about our club activities during this festive season. Soon after we received the KGRE package we organised a competition among our members on Saturdays. We invited them all to tell a story about their unforgettable experience. They really enjoyed the activities because it’s really fun and cool bananas. For those who got a chance to be a story teller they were also evaluated by other members who acted as judges. If they did not know what to say, we already prepared special stories for them. The stories taken from our own club story - ‘MY SCHOOL’ which won the Runner-Up position from KGRE Writing Competition 2003 (KGRE note: The story is on the KGRE website Stories Page for people to read), and from other resources likeDPDF and Internet. We believe that the system run at our club meetings could be one of the interesting activities for other KGCCs. We need your help to give us comments on this system. |

We
have a lot of members in our club. We have to make innovative activities
to increase their spirit in English. One of them was Millionaire Quiz.
All of the members were fond of it. Firstly, we divided the participants
into five groups. Each group had to prepare themselves because they could
be a millionaire. We prepared good questions. We also elected a good,
vocal and attractive presenter to lead the activity. He had to tell each
group the rules and the prizes. “Here is our Millionaire Quiz for
this week. You can get much money - Rp 1,000,000 up to Rp 10,000,000 (high
voice)”, said the presenter. The groups give applaudes. They had
to answer the questions before getting the money. “Prepare yourselves
because the TV station, RCTI, is broadcasting the activity”, said
the presenter again. All the participants laughed and gave applause again
and again. Finally we gave ‘The Cheque’ to the winner. They
laughed and were happy. Actually they knew that the money was not real
money. It was for fun only. The most important is that they enjoyed the
activity.
