2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,960

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: feeling you're having fun. I'm having a lot of fun

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: because we have a very special guest in the studio

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: and I'm surprised that we could get him here live

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: on a Thursday morning because we have just found out

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: that Adity Paul, who is a student at Sydney Grammar,

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: plays the trombone.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: He's in the choir.

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: I have a feeling he's just a great guy and

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: a well rounded student. But this week he also won

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: the Kids News Prime Minister's Spelling Bee.

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: Wow, went to Canberra.

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: Welcome to the studio.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Great to be.

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: Here, Thank you mate. This is sensational.

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 4: How old are you?

18
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Did you? I'm thirteen.

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: I love young achievers. I think it's fantastic to hear

20
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: that someone is even better than I could possibly be

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: and you're thirteen and I'm forty five.

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: That is fantastic, mate. How did he I want to

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: ask about the spelling, mate, because how nerve? I mean,

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: you'd be pretty confident in this spelling.

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 5: Obviously in the spelling of words, but it's also it's

26
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: the whole there's a time limit on it.

27
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: Is your heart racing at the time? Do you freak

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: out sometimes? How do you kick yourself calm?

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, so there are a few things that would probably

30
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 6: make it hard to hold your nerve. You mentioned it's

31
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 6: on a timer, so you only have a think twenty

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 6: five seconds to spell the word twenty four live. Yeah,

33
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 6: and it's also online, so you have to like type

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 6: it in correctly.

35
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: I've had a few mistakes in the past.

36
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and if your hands are shaking, then you

37
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: want to make sure you're putting in.

38
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: The correct letters.

39
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: You did say though that I mean people might be

40
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: thinking twenty five seconds, that's loads of time to be

41
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: able to spell a word. Well maybe not for you, whip,

42
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: but you've got twenty five seconds to spell a word.

43
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: But you're saying that at the end of the entire

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: spelling Bee, if the points are even, then if you've

45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: done it in less time, then you have the advantage.

46
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

47
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 6: So it's ranked by accuracy first obviously, so how many

48
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 6: words you spell correctly, and then if people get the

49
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 6: same mark, which happens a lot, then it's how quickly

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 6: you do it. And so you want to do every

51
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 6: world as fast as possible and.

52
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: Did you work out?

53
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: I mean, how young were you when you realize?

54
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: And your mum and dad have probably shared with you

55
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: your natural ability for spelling, But how old were you

56
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: when you realized you could spell?

57
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 6: So my primary school used to run the Premier Spelling Bee,

58
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 6: which is another competition that's running New South Wales, and

59
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 6: so I read a lot even at the time, So

60
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 6: I won my schools round for that, even though the

61
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 6: teachers let me do the b in year two because who.

62
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Was yes, So there was there was an inkling that

63
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: you might be able to spell? Can I just quickly

64
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: ask for it's your favorite book? What series of books

65
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: are you reading at the moment that you love?

66
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 6: At the moment, I'm reading the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov?

67
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 3: My favorite?

68
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Have you read that about it?

69
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 6: The audio?

70
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: He's the audio books? He loves it. Is it a

71
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: photographic memory? So do you see your word? And when

72
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: when they read out the word, does that pop up

73
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: into your brain straight away? Can you see the way

74
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 3: it's spelt straight away? Is that the gift?

75
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I suppose there is an element of that,

76
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 6: because a really common way to prepare for spelling beez

77
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 6: is just to go over the list many times until

78
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 6: it's all committed to memory. But it's also a lot

79
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: about pattern recognition because we get a lot of our

80
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 6: words from like Latin, Greek and other roots from Germanic

81
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 6: languages like so it's all about recognizing, Like.

82
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Can I just stop you there, because you're bamboozling this

83
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: studio And I've got a feeling that Whip is getting

84
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: more and more nervous because he knows what is about

85
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: to happen. I just have to say that he is.

86
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you're a poor speller. Let's be honest. To

87
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: be honest, but let's be honest. You're a poor speller.

88
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this is only a little example of how

89
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: you mucked up things last week as far as words

90
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: went in the studio.

91
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: Marsha and Dulich Hills give us a cool Hansy Hello,

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: Hello haams On jams and hello Clancy, Hello Clancy Clanny Glany.

93
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: It's definitely not Clanny because I've never heard of the

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: name Clanny before. Reading and spelling are two different things,

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: well are.

96
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: They don't have a go and you were very polite there,

97
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: did he trying not to laugh? But this is what

98
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: we do here on this show, So it's okay to

99
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: get involved. We're going to do a little bit of

100
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: a spelling bee. I've got I do have some words

101
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120

Speaker 2: Whipper, Here is your next word. I find these one

132
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
