12月16日上午，我校初二年级成功举办了Story-telling Competition。赛事分为两轮，全面考验了选手的语言功底与综合素养。第一轮为自备故事讲述，来自16个英文小班的选手们依次登台，他们声情并茂地用英文演绎中国传统故事，在两分钟的限时内，用清晰的发音、丰富的肢体语言和充沛的情感，将观众带入一个个经典的故事世界。选手们的出色表现，赢得了现场同学和老师们的阵阵掌声。第二轮即兴故事环节更是悬念迭起，考验选手的临场构思与快速表达能力。经过首轮筛选，8位晋级选手在台下抽取题目，经过短短五分钟左右的准备，便需在台上自信流畅地完成故事续编。他们敏捷的思维和沉稳的台风，充分展现了扎实的语言应用能力与出色的心理素质。

紧张的比赛间隙，同学们带来了精彩的串场表演。四班同学演绎的歌曲Look what you made me do动感十足，三班同学献上的舞蹈《七彩阳光》活力四射，有效缓解了赛场的紧张气氛，赢得了全场的欢呼。初二4班的刘正天泽同学带来了歌曲《All I want for Christmas is you》，为即将到来的颁奖环节营造了温馨愉快的氛围。

在备受瞩目的外教点评环节，Kristina对选手们的整体表现给予了高度评价。她特别称赞了选手们纯正的语音语调、富有感染力的舞台表现以及勇敢挑战自我的精神。Kristina指出，讲故事不仅是语言的输出，更是情感与创意的传递，她欣喜地看到许多选手都做到了这一点，并鼓励所有同学继续保持对英语学习的热爱，敢于开口，乐于表达，用英文讲好中国故事。

最终，经评委们细致公正的评审，比赛结果揭晓（获奖名单附后）。本次Story-telling Competition不仅为学生们搭建了一个展示自我、锻炼能力的闪亮舞台，更极大地激发了年级学习英语、运用英语的热情。期待同学们在未来更大的舞台上，继续用自信的声音，讲述更精彩的故事。

附：一等奖获得者感言

——初二1班 应远恒（Henry）

This competition was truly amazing! Before I stood on the stage, I had been nervous for almost two weeks because I didn’t have much confidence. Thanks to the encouragement and help of my English teacher, Ms. Yu, and my classmates, I was able to overcome my fear. I also learned that practice makes perfect and that courage comes from the heart.

I feel very lucky to have had this opportunity, because I not only read Chinese stories in English but also practiced creating my own stories after class. My foreign teacher said I am very imaginative, but I still need to improve my grammar. I was also impressed by the other contestants. I still have a long way to go.

——初二6班 柯延溪（Celine）

Winning the first prize in this English competition has filled me with profound gratitude and valuable insights. First and foremost, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the English department for providing such a wonderful platform. Your meticulous planning, thoughtful theme design, and professional guidance made this competition an unforgettable journey for every participant.

We all know the tale of Chang’e ascending to the moon, but I sought to uncover its untold sorrow—the tragedy of the hero who shot down nine suns, only to lose his beloved forever. This competition has taught me that true excellence in English is not just about linguistic fluency, but about using language to breathe life into stories and touch the hearts of others.

I also want to thank my fellow contestants for their brilliant performances, which motivated me to strive for greater heights. Most importantly, I am deeply grateful to the English department for fostering our passion for language and performance. This award is a testament to your dedication, and I will carry this inspiration to explore more possibilities in English expression and artistic interpretation.
