PYP小学部｜英语演讲比赛：让世界倾听我们的声音

我们非常高兴与大家分享厦门华锐莱普顿学校小学部第二届英语演讲比赛的成功。在这次比赛中，我们的学生不仅展现了他们出色的公共演讲技巧，而且展现了他们创造性表达思想的能力。

We are thrilled to share with you the success of the 2nd Annual Chiway Bilingual School Xiamen Speech Day Competition, where our students not only showcased their outstanding public speaking skills but also demonstrated creativity in conveying their messages.

公共演讲是一项超越比赛舞台的宝贵技能。参与其中的学生不仅提高了他们的语言技能，使他们能够清晰而有说服力地表达思想，而且还在准备和发表演讲的过程中增强了自信心。我们为所有参与这一过程的学生感到骄傲，并希望他们从这次经历中收获宝贵的财富。

Public speaking is a valuable skill that goes beyond the competition stage. Engaging in public speaking enhances language skills, allowing students to articulate their thoughts clearly and persuasively. Moreover, the process of preparing and delivering speeches boosts confidence, empowering students to express themselves with conviction. We are so proud of all the participants who engaged in this process, and we hope that they took something valuable away with them from this experience.

 

比赛分为三个充满活力的阶段，每个阶段都旨在评估参与者在公共演讲方面的熟练程度，包括演讲内容、结构连贯性、肢体语言、表达和发音等方面。

The competition unfolded across three dynamic rounds, each designed to assess the participants’ proficiency in public speaking, covering aspects such as speech content, structural coherence, body language, delivery, and pronunciation.

在初赛阶段，总共我们收到了50多部精彩的视频作品，学生们提交的这些视频内容丰富多样，展现了学生们的多元兴趣和独特个性，给我们留下了深刻的印象。

In the initial round, students impressed us with their insightful video submissions which ranged broadly in their content showing the diverse interests and individuality of our students. In total we received over 50 brilliant video submissions.

紧随其后，采用了现场面试的形式，老师们在这个真实的环境中深入了解了每位参赛者的演讲技巧。这个关键步骤帮助我们选拔能够进入决赛选手。

Moving forward, Round 2 featured in-person auditions, providing a live setting for teachers to delve deeper into each participant’s presentation skills. This crucial step allowed for the meticulous selection of finalists who demonstrated exceptional aptitude in expressing themselves effectively before an audience.

团由杨玉丽校长、PYP协调员祁伟老师以及Ben Hall英语老师组成，他们基于学生在现场表现，评选出了本次演讲比赛的获胜者。

The grand finale unfolded with two contenders from each grade delivering riveting speeches within the school theatre. Our esteemed panel of judges, including Principal Yolanda, PYP Coordinator Mr. Qiwei, and English Teacher Mr. Ben Hall, faced the challenging task of selecting winners based on the students’ outstanding performances in the art of public speaking.

恭喜我们的获奖者！

Congratulations to our Winning Participants!

此外，我们向所有家长表示衷心的感谢，感谢您在这场丰富多彩的比赛中给予学生坚定的支持和鼓励。此次比赛不仅能够培养学生的自信心，对提升他们的公共演讲技能方面也发挥了很关键的作用。

We extend heartfelt gratitude to all parents for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout this enriching competition, which has played a pivotal role in nurturing the confidence and public speaking skills of our students.

最后，向所有的参赛者致以热烈的祝贺，是你们共同成就了厦门华锐莱普顿学校小学部第二届演讲比赛的每个精彩时刻。我们期待明年的比赛，并迫不及待地想看到学生们明年又将会带来什么样的精彩表现！

Finally, well done to all participating students who helped make 2nd Annual Chiway Bilingual School Xiamen Speech Day Competition a memorable event. We look forward to next year’s competition and can’t wait to see what students will talk about next year!
