三月的校园春季盎然,桃花殷红新芽吐绿,新燕筑巢鸣鸣响,学子读书朗朗声。古人云:一年之计在于春。春天是希望的象征,是希望的开始。在这个寓意美好的日子里,重庆枫叶国际学校于3月22日迎来2023年“枫叶杯”希望之星英语风采大赛启动仪式。
Spring is in full bloom on our campus in March, with peach blossoms, swallows nesting and students reading aloud. As the old saying goes, the year's plan lies in spring. Spring is a symbol of hope, the beginning of hope. On 22 March, Chongqing Maple Leaf International School welcomed the launch ceremony of the 2023 Maple Leaf - Star of Outlook English speech competition.
希望之星英语风采大赛是一个备受瞩目的活动,遍布中国的32个省、直辖市及自治区,横跨幼儿到成人7个组别。近年来,年均报名人数800万人次,累计报名人数超过一亿人次。其证书含金量非常高,深受国内高校自主招生及芝加哥大学、宾夕法尼亚大学等国外知名大学的认可。
The Star of Outlook is a highly regarded event that spans 32 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across China, spanning seven categories. In recent years, there have been an average of 8 million entries per year and a cumulative total of over 100 million entries. Its certificates are highly valued and recognized by domestic universities for independent admissions and by renowned foreign universities such as the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania.
今年,第24届希望之星英语风采大会的主题为“溯源华夏文明,传承中国精神”,与枫叶国际学校“中西教育优化结合,实施素质教育”的教育理念高度契合。多年来,枫叶致力于培养浸润中国文化,带着文化自觉、民族自信走向世界舞台的双语双思维,具有全球胜任力,国际竞争力的精英人才,本次大赛永川赛区选定我校,是一次“双向奔赴”的合作。好消息一经传出,同学们摩拳擦掌,热情高涨,据悉,已有300余名同学报名,相信每一个报名的选手都将全力以赴,都能有所乐,有所得。
This year, the theme of the 24th Star of Outlook English is "Tracing the Chinese Civilization, Passing on the Chinese Spirit", which is highly compatible with Maple Leaf International School's education philosophy of "Optimizing the combination of Chinese and Western education and implementing quality education". Over the years, Maple Leaf has been committed to cultivating bilingual, globally competent and internationally competitive elites who are steeped in Chinese culture and who walk onto the world stage with cultural awareness and national self-confidence. Once the good news was announced, students were enthusiastic and it is reported that more than 300 students have registered.I believe that every player will give their all and will have fun and gain something.
为了给同学们更独特的体验,更专业的指导,本次大赛启动仪式分为小学和中学两个组分别进行,并邀请希望之星组委会王皓、冯炜均、刘尧华及往届优秀获奖选手龙泓萌、刘晨岚、王雨辰亲临现场。
In order to give students a more unique experience and professional guidance, the launching ceremony was divided into two groups, primary and secondary, and invited Wang Hao, Feng Weijun, Liu Yaohua of the Star of Outlook Organizing Committee and previous outstanding winners Long Hongmeng, Liu Chenlan and Wang Yuchen to attend the event in person.
学生家长蒲巧琴女士和上一届获奖选手为大家分享了参与比赛的点点滴滴。希望之星组委会刘尧华介绍了大赛历史和赛制后,还以评审官的视角跟大家传授了“通关密码”,鼓励同学们积极展示自己,讲好中国故事,树立良好国际形象。
Ms Pu Qiaoqin, a parent of the students, and the previous winners shared their experiences of participating in the competition. After introducing the history of the competition and the competition system, Liu Yaohua of the Star of Outlook Organizing Committee taught the students the "pass code" from the perspective of a judge, encouraging them to show themselves, tell a good Chinese story and build a good international image.
随后,枫叶学子罗郸和余佑康同学讲述了自己在枫叶成长的故事,呼吁大家勇于尝试、敢于挑战,珍惜希望之星这个舞台。人生处处是精彩,把握机会创辉煌,学子们情绪激昂,目光笃定。
Afterwards, Maple Leaf students Luo Dan and Yu Youkang presented their stories of growing up in Maple Leaf, urging everyone to be brave enough to try, dare to challenge and cherish the stage of Star of Outlook. The students were in high spirits and determined to seize the opportunity to create brilliance.
枫叶学子流利的英语和热情的演讲给组委会老师留下了深刻的影响,他们高度赞扬了同学们的英语能力和学习热情,并给学生代表颁发“星瞭望者”聘书。烫金的聘书代表的不仅是一份荣誉,更是一份责任,创建浓郁的英语学习校园文化氛围,共建书香社会。受到表彰的学子们精神饱满,定不负青春之希望,学校之荣光。
The teachers of the organizing committee were impressed by the fluent English and enthusiastic speeches of the Maple Leaf students. They highly praised the students' English ability and enthusiasm for learning, and awarded the student representatives with "Star Hunter" appointment letters. The letters of appointment represent not only an honour but also a responsibility to create a strong culture of English learning on campus. The students who were honored were in high spirits and were sure to live up to the hopes of their youth and the glory of the school.
