Medical Student Wins First Position in Public Speaking Competition
Salman
Fasih Khan, AKU medical student of the Class of 2005, won
the first prize at the Annual Public Speaking Competition
- 2001, organised by the English Speaking Union of Pakistan
(ESUP) in collaboration with the British Council. Sixty-seven
speakers representing 33 educational institutions competed
for the coveted prizes. The second and third prizes were won
by Ali Asghar Moiz of Karachi Grammar School and Mariam Mamsa
of the L’Ecole respectively.
The first two position holders will represent Pakistan in the international
public speaking competition to be held in London this May.
When Salman was asked how he finds the time from his busy schedule to
participate in public speaking, he said, "Public speaking
happens all the time … it’s something we practise in our daily
classrooms during presentations; in this way I get plenty
of experience, and the opportunity to rehearse as well as
enjoy my hobby."
