“ 纸上得来终觉浅 ，绝知此事要躬行。” 英 语 ，不仅是文字的艺术 ，更是我们探索世界 、与世界对话的重要桥梁。为了丰富校园文化 ，点燃经外学子英语的学习热情 ，4月11日晚举办了八年级首届英语演讲比赛。
"Theoretical knowledge is superficial; only through practice can one truly understand." English is not just the art of language but also an important bridge for us to explore and communicate with the world. In order to enrich the campus culture, ignite the enthusiasm of students for learning English, Grade Eight of Jingkai Foreign Language School held the first speech competition on April 11th .
本次英语演分为四个动人的篇章。现在，就让我们一起重温那段美好时光。
The English Speech Contest was divided into
four captivating chapters. Now, let's revisit those wonderful moments together.
Chapter One 初赛篇
群“英”荟萃，人人参与促成长
“ 春风得意马蹄疾 ，一日看尽长安花。”在经外，每个孩子都有机会站在舞台的最中央，展现自己的风采。初赛于三月下旬在各班如火如荼地展开，其独特之处在于全员参与，在备赛过程中，每位孩子不断挖掘潜能，挑战自我，不仅提升了英语听说和演讲能力，更在自我挑战中收获了成长。
"In the spring breeze, the horse gallops swiftly; in a day, one can admire all the flowers in Chang'an." At JKFLS, every child has the opportunity to stand in the center of the stage and showcase their elegance. The preliminary contest took place in late March in each class with great enthusiasm. Its uniqueness lies in the full participation of all students. During the preparation process, each child continuously explored their potential, challenged themselves, and not only improved their English listening, speaking, and public speaking skills, but also grew through self-challenge.
Chapter Two 决赛篇
“声”临其境，高手过招展风采

"Why is the water in the canal so clear? It's because it has a source of living water." This speech contest was not only a linguistic competition but also a demonstration of comprehensive literacy.

Knowledge and action are integrated and complement each other.
