English competitionIt's not the words that don't come out of the back, it's the answering bell that didn't ring your hand, and the next team has called out the answer. From march 28th to april 21stForeign language instituteThere's a fun knowledge contest on the english-language planet, the great risk of knowledge, an initial line of answers, a final round of hand-to-hands, the whole way up to the brush, and a lot of laughing。
Who did it? Why
The event was jointly planned by the association of students of foreign languages and the english-language association of university students and lasted from 28 march to 21 april, almost four weeks. Officially, the aim is to stimulate enthusiasm for learning, to improve hearing and writing skills, and to create an atmosphere of english on campus. The fact that the two organizations worked together to finance and to schedule their division of labour suggests that this was not a matter of ad hoc intent and was planned weeks earlier。
The competition is held in two classrooms, d103 and f403 in the school buildings, which are not large but have a large enrolment. The initials were conducted on a group basis, and only the first teams on average were able to get tickets to the finals, which was tantamount to a game of elimination. The whole line came down with a clear sense that the campus english campaign was moving from a "scramble of people" to a "real match" with a low threshold but full of competition。
How nervous are the answers on the line
On 28 march, the initial competition was officially opened in building d103. The president of the english-language association of university students came to the stage to read out the rules of the competition and immediately cut to the line and did not warm up the buffer. Staff members sat on both sides, one on the screen to see the progress of the responses and one to maintain order on the ground to prevent the exchange of ears. The papers were handed over in two minutes, and the last read question was repeatedly read and filled in。
The most critical rule is that the first race is not one-size-fits-all, but one-size-fits-all. One man drags back, the entire team falls down, so no one dares touch the fish. In that time, you went into class d103, and you could hear the keyboard knocks and the low-stringing discussions entangled together, apparently quiet, and in fact each team was reporting answers, confirming options, and the air was full of agitation and agitation。
It's the finals
On 18 april, the finals were moved to the school building f403 and the system was completely changed. The theme appeared on the screen, the moderator shouted, "let's go. " , the contestants must raise their hands and answer, and then give the answer clearly before the countdown. The most exciting part of the answer is not the right answer, but the hands are fast pressed, the silence is more embarrassing than the wrong answer, and the next team takes advantage of it。
Two of the team members looked at each other and reached out in three seconds, reporting the answers clean and clean, as if they had been rehearsed in advance; some of the team members ran into each other with their answering keys, and the system identified only one, and the unrecognized one, who was in a hurry to stomp. There's a lot of laughter, tension, ticking in the countdown. It's a lot more fun than watching the chorus。
Who's the winner
After many rounds of round-take and round-take, the jiang wenley team took the lead in the finals on 18 april and finally won the championship in a round of applause. On 21 april, the jury teacher completed the review and issued a complete list of the awards: first prize, jiang wenli; second prize, rain and rain, monju; third prize, ju yuen, yip, yan jing jing, zhang zheng, wang min, yuan shao qi, shi jia xin, mei xiaoyu, and all-embracing, with 10 names on top of the wall。
A total of 10 teams, ranging from first-class awards to excellence awards, have been ranked, indicating that the gap between the number of applicants and the overall level is not too large and that no one dares to lose heart. In the end, jiang wenley's team was laughing, not by a certain super-problem, but by a total blunder. It was right that the hand was raised, and this sense of stability was much more difficult than it was occasionally overplayed, and it was one of the most important points of the judges' scores。
It's not worth it
For the contestants, the greatest gain was not the medal in hand, but the sense of oppression of "time-bound speaking". Backwords and readings are always silent, forcing you to turn knowledge into an english output, with reaction speed and courage. It's a lot more useful to do 10 sets of rolls than boredom, and a lot of the players in the competition say, "be more nervous than class, but less pressure than exam."。
The event was also a big step in the direction of the english culture of the campus towards "fun." the student council and the english language association have spoken and will follow up with similar activities. If there is a normality, learning english is no longer just a hard job for exams, but a part of socialization, play and display. At least the f403 answering class will probably have to take over early。
