Supporting contestants also actively practice dance moves and skits to create a performance that can best support their friend's performance. Pham Duy An (Van Gia 1 Primary School, Van Ninh District) said: "I am very honored to represent the school and locality to participate in this contest. This is a very useful contest for students in nurturing their talents and encouraging their love of learning and reading. From the contest, I also learned many useful things and realized that I need to read more books to equip myself with knowledge and understanding of many things in life and study."
