　　“Outlook superstar” competition feels like a long journey. It took nine months from the preliminary competition to the final. During the competition, the venue and format of several matches were temporarily changed due to the impact of the epidemic, which was also a big challenge to my ability and mentality. However, under the guidance and help of teachers in school, I have been trying to adjust my mind and actively improve my speech skills and critical thinking ability. Inertia also inevitably appeared in this long journey, but I have also overcome it. Fortunately, I competed all the way through and entered the national finals on behalf of Zhejiang Province. In Beijing, I met many contestant from all over the country and made good friends of different ages. I learned a lot from communicating with people who had similar experiences and goals. What's more important in terms of public speaking is I have mastered more skills, become more confident and be able to speak freely on stage. Being on the same stage with mentors I only see on TV or social media strengthened my determination to keep getting better. I would also like to express my special gratitude to the school, teachers and students for their continued support and encouragement. I believe that success is not accidental and sweat does not lie.

　　这次希望之星的比赛像一场漫长的征途，从初赛到总决赛历时九个月，在比赛期间因为疫情的影响，几场比赛的地点和形式也临时更改，这对我的心态和能力也是不小的挑战。但在学校老师们的指导和帮助下，我一直努力调整心态并积极提升自己的演讲技巧和思辨能力。惰性也不可避免地在这漫长的征途中出现，但我也一直在老师们的督促下努力克服。庆幸的是我一路比赛，最终以代表浙江省的身份进军到了全国总决赛。在北京，我认识了众多来自全国各地的选手，更结交到了不同年龄段好朋友。在和自己有着相似经历和目标的人交流下来，我颇有收获。更重要的是，在演讲方面，我掌握了更多技巧，也变得更加自信，能够更自如地在舞台发言。当我和只有在电视台或社交媒体上才能看到的导师站在同一个舞台上时，这坚定了我继续努力的决心。我还要特别感恩一直给予我支持和鼓励的学校，老师和同学们。我相信成功不是偶然，汗水不会说谎。

　　It has been a year from the preliminary to the national finals. For me, OUTLOOK SUPERSTAR English competition is not only a medal and a certificate, but also a new experience. I learned a lot in this competition, including speech skills, debate skills, impromptu speech and performance, adaptability and so on. For example, in the third part of the national finals called the impromptu English drama performance, the contestants were asked to randomly select the beginning of a story and an English word, and compile a single English short play within three minutes. The beginning I drew was "never answer the door when aliens come..." and the word was "disco". When I saw the beginning, such a story suddenly came to my mind: "I" received an anonymous call asking me not to open the door no matter who knocked. However, when the door was knocked, the person outside claimed to be my friend. When he wanted to take me to the discotheque, I, who didn't take that phone seriously, opened the door unprepared - at the moment of opening the door, "my" body was pierced by aliens disguised as my friends, so there was only one last breath of "me”, I struggled to take out the phone, called my best friend and told him not to open the door... At the end of the performance, the judges and other contestants gave me very warm applause, which made me very proud. OUTLOOK SUPERSTAR gave me the opportunity to express myself on the national stage and gave full play to my strengths. It was an unforgettable experience for me.

　　从最开始的初赛到最终的全国总决赛，已经经历了一整个春夏秋冬。这次希望之星的比赛对我来说不仅仅只是一块奖牌、一份证书而已，更是一次全新的经历和体验。我在这一年的比赛当中学到了很多，包括演讲技巧、辩论技巧、即兴演讲及表演以及随机应变等。举个例子，在全国总决赛中的第三环节，即即兴英文剧表演中，选手们被要求随机抽取一个故事的开头和一个英文单词，并在三分钟之内编出一个单人英文短剧。我抽到的开头是“never answer the door when aliens come...（外星人来的时候千万不要开门......）”，单词是“disco（迪斯科）”。当我看到这个开头时，这样的一个故事瞬间浮现在了我的脑海中：“我”接到一个匿名电话，要求我无论谁敲门都不要开门。然而，当门被敲响，门外的人声称是我的朋友，要带我去迪斯科舞厅时，根本没有把那通电话当回事的“我”毫无防备地打开了门——开门的瞬间，“我“的身体被伪装成朋友的外星人给刺穿了。于是只剩最后一口气的“我”，挣扎的拿出电话，打给了我最好的朋友，告诉他千万不要开门……表演结束时，评委和其他的选手给了我非常热烈的掌声，这让我感到非常自豪。希望之星让我能够有机会在全国的大舞台上尽情地表达自我，并且发挥自己的特长，对我来说是一个相当难忘的经历！

　　首先祝贺两位同学代表浙江省，在希望之星全国总决赛中斩获佳绩，尽展风采！同时也要感谢英文组全体教师，在过去一年当中，对包括两位参赛选手在内的初高中年级各班，所进行的长期一对一辅导及辛勤付出。两位参赛选手的精彩表现，也正是我校相关年级百余位同学长期以来积极备赛，不断历练，提高英语口语能力的缩影！

　　中英文双语能力，是我校长期以来坚持的教学方向和教学重点。我也期待在2021-2022新学年，会有更多的同学，在英语演讲、词汇、写作等多方面获得显著提升，并在全国和国际性质的比赛中，取得优异成绩！

　　The English speech competition is a fantastic opportunity for students to choose a topic they are interested in and express their opinions. I encourage all the students in grades 7-10 to do their very best in this year’s competition. I helped to tutor 2 students from grade 11 (Scarlett and George) to prepare for a national competition in October and I found the standard of both of them was excellent. So, please start now preparing for the preliminary competition in November and feel free to come and talk to me if you need any help with your speeches. Good luck to all the students for this year’s competition.

　　Congratulations to Chen Yifan and Wang Qi for representing Zhejiang Province in the Outlook Superstars Speech Contest for the first time. From the preliminary competition in Hangzhou Division to the provincial competition in Zhejiang Province, and then to the national competition in Beijing, the dedication and bravery shown by the two students left a deep impression on me. I hope that the two students will become lifelong users and learners of English. In the meanwhile, I also hope that other students will take the two classmates as examples, actively participate in English competitions so as to exercise their courage, and enhance their English learning ability.

　　祝贺两位同学第一次代表浙江省在比赛中分获佳绩，从杭州赛区的初赛到浙江省的省赛，再到全国赛的角逐，两位同学所表现出的专注与勇敢给老师留下了深刻的印象。希望两位同学在英语学习的道路上越走越远，成为英语的终身使用者和学习者。同时，在这里也希望其他同学以两位同学为榜样，积极参与英语类竞赛，锻炼胆识，提成英语学习能力。

　　正如带队教师Emma所说的那样，两位同学首次参赛即获佳绩，从杭州赛区的初赛到浙江省省赛，再到全国总决赛，一路的过关斩将，我们共同见证；取得的显著进步，我们由衷祝贺！

　　英语口语练习及思辨表达，作为英语学科培养目标之一，一直以来都备受重视！我们希望通过积极表现，勇敢发声的方式，展现IB Learner的所思所感，更鼓励他们成为语言学科的终身学习者，使用者！
