written by staff reporter, Mehaar , Grade 3

This year, it was the rst time“IST ʼ s Got Talent” was performed at theInternational School of Tanganyika on April 16th. That day it was still hoteven at night. There were lot of singers and dancers performing using alltheir energy. Some people sang songs from Disney Channel, some peopleperformed together and some people were alone. There was a big clapwhen the performers nished.

When I talked to a singer from this show, she said, “I was very scared and so nervous, butwhen I nished the song, I was very happy.” I also asked a member of the audience what hethought of the show and he said, “Every single persondid very great job, and I think they worked hard oneverything they did.” I carried on asking more people,someone said they practiced every day. Some peoplegot very tired but everyone enjoyed their talent show.
