Andy and Andrew

A month ago we tested all of our 6 year old Kindy kids (7 years old Korean age) for the 2006 Sogang Speech Contest. Every year students from all round country compete with each other by means of a speech spoken in English. There were two parts to the test: 1) an actual speech about " Silly Sally", a book that they have been practicing for a week, and 2) an interview where we throw random questions at them. I was put in charge of the interviewing for some of the contestants, thus I did not have opportunity to take some photos in the gym (where they performed their speeches). Mike took this instead; this is Andrew and Andy from Grape class, a class full of the next generation geniuses of Korea. Their over-enthusiastic mothers dressed them in drag ( I mean, er as "Silly Sally") for the test. Another boy was so upset about his costume that he could not perform his speech due to the threatening avalanche of tears. The boy on the right, Andy,plus a Cindy from Peach class will be put forward for the competition.
