Grammar

in the afternoon we held the competition

there’s many people who will win

events happen
objects work
projects finish

we make the events happen / the events are arranged by us
we make the objects / the objects are made by us

For example for the number one works, there’s a huge gap between what they design and what they make / between the dream and the reality. So they have tried to make their work so many times. Because the concrete is not that precise so they have tried so many times to correct their works and I was a competitor and also the organiser for the competition so we have helped them several times and take them to the lab to make the work and told them what part of their object can do and what part of their job cannot produce so that’s about the competition.
