Manu Korero

Manu Korero

On Friday My Classroom went to watch Manu korero. My speaker I thought was funny was the
guy that was talking about his dad telling him that the world map is upside down.The reason why
he was funny was that he use expression and humour. All the other speakers were just so fluent I
couldn’t take my eyes off them. I also like the girl that was speaking about her ancestors. She
tried to keep quiet but her ancestors wouldn’t let her.She was a fluent maori speaker she inspired
me to learn and to try and be as fluent as I can. She had Confidence, Expression and she even
knew how to use hand signals. It would of been a hard job to speak in front of a big crowd with
saying words that come out of your brain.  

They have to speak for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds and they ring this bell and they will raise
this flag in the air and that means that they have reached 2 minutes and 30 seconds. If they go
longer they will get a red flag and means they will have to stop. That’s why people were stopping
to early because they don’t want to get a red flag that’s why they were stopping at yellow or
under.

The one I thought was the best was the one that was talking about the chair his name was
manaaki hoepo. His expression great and his confidence was so good because he didn’t get
stage fright like others that have. There brave to stand and speak in front of a crowd. He sound
clear and he talking about this chair could be anything. He said It could of been anything a
rocket ship a car or even a motorbike just because of the material that it is made from. So if you
dumped an old car at the scrap metal yard then a flash car drove past your house one day and
that material it was made out of was your old cars.
