天津黑利伯瑞國際學校的英語朗誦比賽

　　4月10日下午14：20，我校第一屆英語朗誦比賽的決賽在劇院上演，張景晨、馬睿欣同學擔任主持。朗誦是口語交際的一種重要形式。朗誦不僅可以提高閱讀能力，增強藝術鑒賞，更為重要的是，通過朗誦，大者可以陶冶性情，開闊胸懷，文明言行，增強理解；小者可以有效地培養對語言詞匯細致入微的體味能力，以及確立口語表述最佳形式的自我鑒別能力。因此，要想成為口語表述與交際的高手，就不能漠視朗誦。

　　The first English Recitation Contest of Haileybury was held in the afternoon of July 10th. It was hosted by Johnny and Cicilia. Recitation plays an important role in one‘s social life. It can increase not only your comprehension of reading， but also the ability to appreciate the art. The most important of all， via recitation， you can cultivate your behaviors and reinforce your understanding to a higher grade. To a lower grade， you can obtain the ability to sense the power of the language and to identify to use the best expressions. Thus， if you would like to be a master of expressions and socialization， recitation is not to be neglected.

　　經過前期的各班預賽與復賽，從全校挑選出11位優秀的選手進入到最后的決賽當中。在比賽中，這些選手也體現出高人一籌的朗誦水平，或抒情吟誦、或深情委婉、或生動活潑、或詼諧幽默，給人眼前一亮、耳目一新之感，贏得陣陣掌聲。經過激烈角逐，趙英然、郭若谷、佟笑音獲得初中組三等獎；張洋洋、石珂嘉獲得高中組三等獎；熊詩雨、任子一獲得初中組二等獎；畢宇輝、游博雅獲得高中組二等獎；王子彥和賈文欣分獲初中組和高中組一等獎。期待這些獲獎學生再接再厲，在以后的學習中更進一步，取得更大的進步。

　　After the preliminary and secondary contests， 11 contestants went to the final competition. In the contest， the students showed us their best parts. After the final competition， Rebecca got the third place in middle school and Yalena and Caroline got the third prize in high school； Mark and Elsa got the second prize in middle school and Ed and Yolanda got the second place in high school； Tiffany and Amy got the first prize in middle school and high school respectively. We expect these students to show more of their talents to us in the days to come.

　　每次活動的舉行都離不開幕后人員的努力，向為這次活動舉行做出貢獻的各位老師同學表示感謝，希望以后此類活動越來越多，為學生提供更多的展示自己的舞臺。

　　The people who worked behind the screen also made tremendous contribution to the success of the contest. We would like to express our gratitude to all the students and teachers involved in this activity. We look forward to seeing more of such contests where the students can have the opportunity to show us their abilities.
