uz nekoliko primjera iz prethodnih godina.....

 

Spelling Bee /To start, all students stand. A separate word is given to each student.

Thus, if one student fails to correctly spell a word, the next student receives a new word.

If the student cannot correctly spell the word, he or she is eliminated from the competition.

Each word is read aloud by the teacher three times: the first time the word is alone,

the second time in context, and the third time alone.

 

0 Example

 

*Teacher says to the first student: Cat.

*Teacher then says: Cat: A pet that catches mice. Cat.

 

*The student may ask for the word to be repeated, but only one time.

 

*The student attempts to spell the word, then says the word to show that he or she has

finished: C-A-T, CAT.

 

***Note: If the student provides the wrong letter, then he or she is out of the competition.

However, the student has one opportunity to correct him or herself during the spelling of

the word, BEFORE pronouncing it.

STUDENT IS OUT if this happens: (Student says: C-E-T, CAT.)

STUDENT IS NOT OUT if this happens: (Student says: K-A-T, I mean C-A-T, CAT).

So if he or she corrects him/herself before pronouncing CAT the student is still eligible.

 

The student should give the answer in one minute or less.
