FUN WITH ENGLISH

SK Kopok's Choral Speaking Script -English Carnival 2012

ALL:
Good morning everybody,
Here we are,
A million, billion, willion miles from
home,
Among strangers,
Who would like to know,
SOLO 1 (Girl):
Who are we?
SOLO 2 (Boy):
Where do we come from?
SOLO 3 (Girl:)
What are we going to do?
ALL:
Just like always,
We are going to tell you,
We are just children ,
Trying to have fun with English,
Making our voices heard,
Ringing voices, all in chorus,
Speaking English words,
Experimenting with English!
Playing with what we say,
Since English isn't easy,
We are having fun along the way,

GIRLS:
We can speak out loudly,
BOYS:
SPEAK THOSE WORDS OUT LOUD!
(Spoken loudly)

GIRLS:
Stop!
Speaking out that loudly,
Just shouldn't be allowed.
GIRLS:
And we can speak out softly,
Or whisper in your ears,
(Girls turn and whisper in their friends'
ear)
THIRD ROW:
No!
When you speak that softly,
No one else can hear,
BOYS:
We can speak quite rapidly,
GIRLS:
Just like a speeding train. (Spoken
rapidly)
(Chuss! Chuss!)
BOYS:
Or say the words quite slowly,
ALL:
Just-like-a-clogged-up-drain
SOLO 4 (Boy):
Still wondering who are we?
ALL:
Just like always,
We are going to tell you,
We are just like you ,
Trying to have fun with English,
Making our voices heard,
Ringing voices, all in chorus,

Speaking English words,

Experimenting with English!
Playing with what we say,
Since English isn't easy,
We are having fun along the way,

GIRLS:
Oh well!
Maybe we do,
The rain in Spain, (swaying)
Stays mainly in the plain, (swaying)

HALF OF THE GIRLS:

And when the mood is right,

BOYS:
My Fair Lady!

OTHER HALF OF GIRLS:

We'll speak up high!

GIRLS:
We can also,
Twist our tongues.

BOYS:
Or-oh-so-low..
GIRLS:
Or water every word and..
ALL:
watch them grow!

SOLO 5 (Boy):
Twist what?
GIRLS:
Sit back, relax,
And let us ask you a question,
SOLO 6 (Girl):
How much wood would a woodchuck
chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

BOYS:
Or say the words,
In such a way,
You want to sway,
GIRLS:
Tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow,
(swaying)
Creeps in this petty pace from day to
day, (swaying)
BOYS:
(Pointing at the girls)
Look at them,
Quoting Shakespeare,
Like they know better,

BOYS:
Hmmm... (thinking gesture)
SOLO 7 (Boy):
A woodchuck could chuck wood,
As fast as a woodchuck could chuck
wood!
And, if a woodchuck could chuck
wood...
GIRLS:
Stop! Stop! Stop!
SOLO 8 (Girl):
What are you doing?

BOYS:
Attempting to recite a tricky rhyme,
As fast as possible,
Without tripping over,
Difficult words!
GIRLS:
English words are fun to learn,
HALF OF THE GIRLS:
Some are short...
OTHER HALF OF THE GIRLS:
..and some are long.
GIRLS:
Ladies and gentlemen,
Lend us your ears,
For we know a very long word,

BOYS:
Then tell us what it is.
GIRLS:
It is...supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,
Even though the sound of it is
something quite atrocious,
If you say it loud enough you'll always
sound precocious,
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
BOYS:
Wow!
That surely is the..
PAIR 1 (Boys):
..longest!
PAIR 2 (Boys):
..biggest!

It is super...
SOLO 9 (Boy):
I know! I know!
It is superman!
GIRLS:
NO!
SOLO 10 (Boy):
Supernatural?
GIRLS:
NO!
SOLO 11 (Boy):
Super Junior?
GIRLS:
NO! NO! NO!

PAIR 3 (Boys):
..strongest!
PAIR 4 (Boys):
..cleverest!
BOYS:
... word we have ever heard!
GIRLS:
Then you definitely,
have never heard,
Mary Poppins sings!
ALL:
YOU, YOU and YOU!
Take a good look at us,
Having fun with English,
Making our voices heard,
Ringing voices, all in chorus,

Speaking English words,

Experimenting with English!
Playing with what we say,
Since English isn't easy,
We are having fun along the way,
SOLO 12 (Boy):
Look at the audience!
BOYS:
All curious and restless,
GIRLS:
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock (clock
gesture)
BOYS:
All waiting and thinking,
GIRLS:
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock (clock
gesture)

2. Teachers

Um ba ba (x10)
Recess time is up! (x2)
Faster everyone! Cikgu Hanif is
coming!
Whoever goes into the class later
than me will get a swing!
Run! Run!
Boys and girls,
Can you remember all of your
teachers?
Well, good teachers, funny
teachers or special teachers?
Today,
We stand here, to talk about our
teachers.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
Guys, listen!
Teachers,

Are the burning candles that light

our life,
The sunshine after the rain,
The wind beneath our wings.
They are our coaches,
Our fathers
Our mothers,
Our friends,
Our everything!
Hello, Joe, SPM result just came
out.
My son gets 10 As!
Really?
Yes!
Because of who?
Teachers la.....
From kindergarten to primary
school,
From secondary school to the
college.
There is always someone behind
these stages.
Who?
Our teachers la.....
A school without teachers is not a
school.
And, we, without our teachers, are
going to be fools!
No teachers, no knowledge,
No knowledge, no privilege,
No privilege, therell be outrage!
Ring, ring,
Hello, Mr Ng, wah.....
My son scored straight As,
Thank you, thank you!

Ring, ring,
Hello, Mr Ng,
My daughter, Siti, is so fragile.
Please always take care of her
ya.....
Ring, ring,
Hello, Mr Ng, wah.....
Your cikgu ah, dare to give my son
kueh tiaw!
Ring, ring, Mr Ng,
Ring, ring, Mr Ng,
Mr Ng, Mr Ng, Mr Ng, Mr Ng!
Ring, ring, Mr Ng,
Ring, ring, Mr Ng,
Mr Ng, Mr Ng, Mr Ng, Mr Ng!
[Mr Ng says]
I, will not give up.
I, will make this school the top.
Teachers, teachers, teachers.
They come in many styles, like
this.....
[Individual actions]
Guys, who is that new teacher in
that new car?
Who else, Cikgu Thomas!
The slim and tall teacher?
Cikgu Azmi!
The funny teacher?
Cikgu Huang!
The pretty teacher?
Cikgu Nik Mazira!
The handsome teacher? Ooh.....
Girls, a, a, a.....
Jealous.....
Teacher says,
Teacher goes,
Teacher smiles,

Teacher knows.
No teachers, no careers,
No careers, no futures.
I want to be an engineer,
I want to be a doctor,
I want to be a lawyer,
I want to be a minister,
I want to be a billionaire,
And, I want to be a professional
dancer.
A dream will remain a dream,
It will not be realized without our
teachers.
Really?
Yes.....
No matter how much or how little
teachers have done,
They always deserve our respects.
Teachers,
Are the ones who paint our minds,
And guide our thoughts,
Share our achievements,
And advise our faults.
For the dawn of each poet,
Each philosopher and king,
Begins with a teacher,
And the wisdom they bring.

But time flies when youre having fun,

That means its goodbye for now.

In fact, each day passes faster than you
can blink,
And before you know it, youre wishing
youve never left school,
And watching students go by with a
slight drool.
Well, thats all for now, this is where we
stop.
Well make our leave, with our farewells
at the top.
Thank you.
