Nine-year-old Jai Lim is among 28 Malaysians to prove English prowess at the World Finals of the Hippo English Language Olympiad in Rome.
Remarkable feat: Jai secured his position as a finalist after just going through the preliminary and semifinal rounds.
Following his bronze medal win at the Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad last year, he took it up a notch this year by taking home the silver medal. “My teachers are always encouraging us to take part in external competitions to test our English proficiency,” he told StarEdu. With his sights set on winning the grand prize at the World Finals, Jai has been immersing himself in reading English language books and doing extra practice questions.
“Keep trying and never give up. Practise speaking English with friends and family, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes because that’s how we learn.
