In the afternoon on May 22nd, BCCSC and BCS held their second biannual English comprehension competition. Each year this competition is held twice to better encourage students to participate in English reading, listening, speaking and writing activities with a focus on practical use and comprehension.

　　為更好地激發(fā)和培養(yǎng)學生學習英語的興趣，幫助學生養(yǎng)成良好的朗讀英語、閱讀英語的習慣，培養(yǎng)學生綜合語言運用能力，北京中加學校小學部在5月22日下午舉行全校第二屆“學會成長，快樂相伴”英語嘉年華活動。

　　This day’s events were divided into lower and higher elementary grades. The first competition for grade 1 and grade 2 is about English handwriting since it is the basic skill and has been traditionally highly valued at our school. Students have to write the story chosen from their English books on the lined paper provided. The duration of the competition is 30 minutes during which all the children spare no efforts to make their handwriting impeccable. The standard of work sent in is brilliant and made the judging very hard. It is a difficult task of choosing only two winners per class. After much deliberation 22 students are chosen as overall winners for their class and their work will be displayed in our school.

　　此次活動分為小學低年級組和高年級組兩部分。小學一二年級的學生們在英語老師的指導下進行英文書法比賽及猜單詞比賽。 比賽共兩項內(nèi)容，項是書法比賽。英語書寫是學生在英語學習過程中一項重要的基本功，參賽選手在規(guī)定時間(30分鐘)內(nèi)現(xiàn)場完成指定的一篇英語篇章，要求書寫規(guī)范、整潔、美觀、大方。比賽過程中學生們熱情高漲，神情專注，書寫工整端正，經(jīng)過我校評委老師從字跡、內(nèi)容等方面綜合評價，認真評選， 22份優(yōu)秀作品脫穎而出。

　　After that, the students participate in the word search competition, which has 3 levels of difficulty. To make it more interesting, word puzzles are designed as different shapes of each level. Students have to search and circle the word on the word puzzle as fast as they can because the time is limited (20minutes) and the one who can find the most words in his class will win the game. Students participate in it with a lot of excitement and passion.

　　接下來是word puzzle比賽，Word puzzle分為3個級別，分別由簡到難，為了增加趣味性，每個級別的字母排列都設置了不同的形狀。參賽選手要在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)完成3個級別的題，找出的單詞最多的同學為獲勝者。比賽中同學們熱情投入，沉著冷靜，現(xiàn)場氣氛緊張而有序，他們?nèi)�力以赴發(fā)揮自己的能力，爭取獲得的成績。

　　The event provides students a chance to show their abilities and skills. It is also help them to enhance the awareness of the importance of handwriting skills and vocabulary accumulation. Most importantly, they can have fun from English learning. Well done to our winners and all of the children who entered the competition.
