"Meaningful messages are conveyed in modern filmmaking methods, new and creative ideas; natural dialogue and acting, and especially the excellent performance of the English language by primary school students. I was really surprised when I and other teachers on the jury watched more than 20 films sent by more than 20 schools, selecting the best films to award. The characteristics of geography, culture, tradition, and people of District 11 and Ho Chi Minh City appeared in the students' films with great emotion", commented Ms. Nguyen Dinh Thuy Do Uyen, Deputy Head of the Department of Education and Training of District 11, Ho Chi Minh City.
Excerpt from the English film 'I do have a hometown' by Le Dinh Chinh Primary School, District 11
Like this afternoon, many parents present at the auditorium of District 11 Children's House watching the movie I do have a hometown of Le Dinh Chinh Primary School were surprised by the innocent, cute acting and smooth English pronunciation of Tran Bach, a 2nd grade student of Le Dinh Chinh Primary School.
Bach used to be very sad when "I don't have a hometown to visit every weekend", "my friends say my hometown must be very far away". Then after a weekend, being taken by his father to visit the ancient pagoda, Tan Dinh church, Ben Thanh market, Ba Son bridge, flying kites in Thu Duc city, riding a motorbike through Thu Thiem tunnel..., Bach was very happy.
On the second day of school, Bach proudly showed off his "hometown" to his friends, making them curious and saying "I will definitely visit my hometown - Ho Chi Minh City like you". When he returned home in the evening, little Bach tearfully told his father "Dad, I have a hometown".
Students take adults to "check in" District 11
This afternoon, the audience also got to watch an English film by Lac Long Quan Primary School - the film was awarded the collective first prize for the performance and screening, titled Check in District 11 .
In the film, starting with the English teacher's request that two students form a group to introduce to each other the special features of the culture and traditions of District 11, the two students of this school took the audience to "check in" many typical locations of the district.
That is the ancient Khanh Van Nam Vien pagoda; the bustling Thiec market with a trading area, unique gold and silver crafting, jewelry; the Ha Ton Quyen culinary street with famous dishes of Cho Lon area such as dumplings, fresh noodles handmade right on the spot...
"This is a meaningful playground for students in Ho Chi Minh City, helping primary school students develop their language communication skills and creativity. This is also a success of the Ho Chi Minh City education sector when over the years, it has increased the teaching of English at primary school level. Each film that students, teachers, and parents participate in is always full of educational spirit, full of love. That is the love for the homeland, the country, and the people of Vietnam. That homeland is also District 11, Ho Chi Minh City where you are living and studying...", Ms. Nguyen Dinh Thuy Do Uyen shared.
In addition to the first, second, third and consolation prizes for school groups in the film performance and screening categories, many elementary schools were awarded movement prizes for their active participation in the contest. The films Check in District 11 and I do have a hometown will continue to be submitted by the Department of Education and Training of District 11 to compete in the city-level round.
