Chinese Speech

交流、创新、发展 Create a World without Barriers

On November 23, 2023, the Chinese Department successfully held a Chinese Speech Contest. A total of 36 students registered for the competition, and after the audition, 16 contestants stood on the stage for the final competition. This year, the theme of the speech contest was “Communication, Innovation, Development” (交流、创新、发展). Through their impressive speeches, the students demonstrated their Chinese language skills and also expressed their understanding and appreciation of culture, which further highlighted their confidence. We look forward to having more students take the stage and join the speech contest next year!

以前，我总是认为我中文的语言 能力不太好，但现在我很感激自 己敢于挑战这次的中文演讲比 赛。这次参赛经历极大地提高了 我的中文学习兴趣。通过训练， 我不仅提高了口语技巧，还拥有 更多在教室以外的地方练习中文 的机会，更有助于锻炼我的表达 能力。如果下次我可以尝试改进 的话，我肯定会使用更丰富的词 汇和更复杂的句型，来展示更自 信的自己。

我认为参加演讲这次比赛是一次 很好的体验，能够让自己学会写 演讲稿，也能提高自己的表达能 力。我觉得如果我下一次再演讲 的时候不要太紧张。我应该更勇 敢，让受众能感受到我自信的声 音和神态。我觉得下次我会做得 更好！

I had an incredibly enjoyable time participating in the Chinese speech contest and am immensely proud to emerge as the winner. Winning was unexpected, but it proved that hard work truly pays off. I dedicated myself to practicing the script, rehearsing it at least five times a day at home. Heartfelt thanks to the attentive audience for listening to my speech. Lastly, I want to urge everyone: never give up easily. 加油! Keep going!

This is my third and last year participating in the final of the Chinese Speech Contest before heading into DP! Always a fun and exciting opportunity for me to showcase what I have learned, through all the school work and extracurricular activities my time management skills were put to the test. I feel extremely grateful for the experience and cherish this with all my friends and family. A huge thank you to the Chinese Department for hosting great events like these to allow students to showcase their abilities!

One’s success can never be achieved from an individual’s effort, which is why I would like to, from the bottom of my heart, thank Ms Lina and my parents for helping me throughout the process of this speech contest.
