第十三届全国创新英语大赛选手感言

[这是我的回忆,也许并不够激情、也没有轰轰烈烈,但这是属于我的故事,或许平平淡淡,但于我弥足珍贵,第十三届全国创新英语大赛选手感言:王婧嫄。]

北京,一个并不陌生的城市,却因为第一次参加全国型比赛的激动而显得非比寻常。黑体字打出的National Creative English Competition,在来之前已默念了无数次;领到蓝色营服,一个人跑到洗手间换上,对着镜子里稍有倦意的自己微笑,然后恋恋不舍地换上同样很喜欢的白色;走出洗手间,刚刚睡醒的舍友正用好奇的目光打量着我,然后我们同时对彼此说了一声“hi”,一如旧时相识。就是这些平平淡淡的记忆片段,拉开这次参加大赛,只属于我的序幕。

“令人发指”的辩论(来之前看到比赛项目有辩论心就凉了一半),在一个晚上的充分准备后有惊无险地完成,我们几个队友不约而同地看完了整场比赛,其实老实说最关心的还是小红牌上的数字。直到最后一组成绩公布,我们几个情绪比较激动的伙伴们一起跳了起来,因为我们是第一会场最高分(我想,那时候别人一定以为我们是疯了)。那一刻,温暖的液体在我这唯一一个准高二“小孩儿”眼里徘徊许久,很争气地,没有落下。暗自观察好像也只有我哭了,这也算是一点自省:其实和那些学霸相比,我还差的很远,能得到这样的成绩,我已经很知足,但是以后的我会更加努力。

原本以为手到擒来的故事接龙比赛却出现了小插曲,我前面的`三号选手也就是最后的亚军刘桥,按规则我需要承接并延续她的故事,但是出于对纯粹英文的羡慕和崇拜,在她讲故事的时候根本没有注意内容,等倒计时牌举起那一刻,我才缓过神来,原来这是比赛而不仅仅是我想的听觉盛宴!事后也笑话过自己傻,然后更是解嘲般地说,算了,当作损失几分认识一个大神,值了,教育新闻《第十三届全国创新英语大赛选手感言:王婧嫄》。

下着小雨的那个清晨,一个寝室的人坐在一起,没有哭哭啼啼的告别,取而代之的是这样的一句话:“高中毕业,咱们北京聚。”

然后下楼走上不同的送站大巴。

然后微笑。

记得请辅导员给我们照下“No Zuo No Die全国八强”的同寝合影;记得比赛前一天的晚上寝室里此起彼伏的背诵声音;记得厚着脸皮去找并不熟悉的全国十强拍照留念;记得在食堂遇见辩论队友时一个会心的微笑;记得生病头疼时室友那一句“把空调关了吧反正我们也不热”那位描绘出这些美丽记忆的无与伦比的艺术大师--时光,仿佛就站在我的面前,站在雨里,用潇洒的字体写下两个字--青春。

大巴发动。两车相错的一刹,给对面窗子探头张望的舍友一个甜度十足的笑容。既然是不能挽留的就应该坦然接受,空间上的分割,一点都不会影响我们的友情和我们的快乐,既然这样又有什么悲伤的呢。

剪下一段青春时光,五天四夜,燥热的北京。

这个夏天因此绚烂。

第十三届全国创新英语大赛选手感言:刘桥2

第十三届全国创新英语大赛选手感言:刘桥

来北京的高铁上,窗外不时闪过绿得惊人的田野,边际生长着高大而颇为典雅的白杨树。这番景象令我羡慕--所有的白杨,尽管隔着玻璃,也能令人感到他们傲于自己作为坚守的树之风度,却总是与同伴一起生长在城市孩子难以见到的开阔地带。

又一次拖着行李箱来到遥远的城市,新鲜感之中逐渐生出了一份不常见的冷静。想着,诚然,会有许多新的面孔,鲜活的未曾相识的灵魂。而一个人拖着箱子在车站寻找归属队伍时,日记中则写着,I think I will manage, but the shadow of loneliness is within sight.

之后才发现自己遗忘了一个常识,即大多数人都是选择用一层光鲜而礼节性的冷淡装饰着自己,直到熟悉感像打开包装纸一样剥去这层外衣。我的洞察力还没有敏锐到一眼看穿灵魂--幸而我首先熟悉的室友们让我还来不及为孤独恐惧就迅速进入了她们整日充满了笑声与疯狂的圈子。几天里积攒的故事,往往伴随着没来由的笑点,就像零食包装纸一样越来越多--而所谓矜持而整洁的外壳其实也没有真正存在过。我记得进十强后的每次回寝室,她们都笑着指向逐渐不像话的垃圾桶:“冠军去倒垃圾!”也不考虑我这个时常记不起自己东西放哪里、每场比赛必然拖着同伴一起否则找不到路的室友究竟能进入比赛的哪一环节。她们以“冠军”的戏谑称呼和难以置信的高频率威胁恐吓:“你今晚出去睡地铺吧!”然后笑得像得到礼物的孩子。

我总是觉得每次给我的掌声里她们都占了一半的功劳,至少和我不熟悉的营员们应该不会发出戏剧性的歇斯底里尖叫。每次我内心的戏剧狂都在遗憾,为什么她们没有谁想起来在鼓掌时喊一句“垃圾还没有倒!”或是“今晚出去睡!”--那样效果该多好。

对所有给我的掌声自然是怀有感激的。然而真正在舞台聚光灯下,尤其是台下满是观众的场合,我的感情似乎总是被收进了抽屉里。在这种场合,只剩下极度的冷静。因而现在回忆起来,对真正重大的时刻--譬如颁奖、宣布淘汰名单,我反而没有多么动人心弦的`感触。真的提笔,脑海中浮现的都是后台那些生辉的面庞与肆意年轻的声音。一直是这样,总是后台故事才让我记住,想笑也想哭。

记得第一轮情景演绎结束,韵澎问:“刚有谁看倒计时提示了吗?”我摇头,紫琪也说没有。“我也没看,我都入戏了。”韵澎说。

And that was the first great sensation...at that precise moment all the hours of hard, though somehow hilarious, work, paid off. Wild joy of dramatic art itself flooded through me. I did not care what the audience thought. The play was ours, and that was enough.

直至演完了我们还是无法习惯称呼彼此的名字。但是法定代号真的那么重要吗?我们颇为愉快地否定了这一点,用更加亲切的剧中称呼代替了父母赠予的严肃称呼。就在那一天以前我们还都互不相识,刚刚被告知第一轮的题目。天生戏剧狂的我居然没有见人就宣布自己的狂喜,也算是个奇迹。于是我们颇为严肃地讨论起演戏的主题,颇为严肃地定下了一个正经的家庭伦理小剧,颇为严肃地讨论好各自角色和性格,颇为严肃地准备去排练。

然后严肃的阶段就结束了。如果详细叙述排练时每一个疯狂花絮,简直可以再写一个我们演出时长十倍的剧本。没有真正意义上的剧本,因而我们加台词删台词总是会招惹自己笑起来,有时还会出现意想不到的新内容,尽管综合考虑不适宜出现在赛场上,我们私底下还是没事就拿来说笑。自己最喜欢的一点在于我们五个演的是一家人,鑫渝是爸爸,我是Auntie,韵澎、紫琪和钟杰按年龄(或个头?)排序是表姐Isabelle、姐姐Jennifer和弟弟Jeff。我开心地发短信告诉朋友,在北京有了四个新的家人,虽说短信无法真正表达我们在一起度过的令人既狂笑不已又倍感温馨的时光。

第一晚排练时Jeff因为参加汇演两边跑,气喘吁吁回来后坐在墙边惨兮兮卖萌。我们对一直没睡好觉的鑫渝说“爸爸好辛苦”,而Jeff十分委屈地咕哝:“Jeff也很辛苦……”我们没心肝地笑了,我作为Auntie去拍了拍大侄子的头,然后接着笑。紫琪宣称自己要演一个招人厌的拉拉队长,穿起艳丽的服装摆出嚣张的架势,却总在应该对韵澎演的大表姐表示轻蔑时没完没了地笑场。(Auntie很有经验地指出这种笑简直跟犯花痴很接近。)韵澎和我在戏里处于家庭矛盾的核心之外,戏外却也始终卷进各种奇奇怪怪的笑料中。只有爸爸颇为淡定,不过似乎淡定得有些游离世外,其结果则是短短一天半的排练上演了十几集“爸爸去哪儿了”。

我现在想起这些还是会笑,不知道今后被时光打磨过的记忆会触动怎样的情感,但无论如何都发自于这些散碎记忆的美丽。

更加散碎的记忆包括的总是很多人很多事。说到底人类是孤独的动物,却时常无法抵御没有同伴的恐惧。每次出远门留下深刻印象的都是那些同伴,而印象有时很幸运地寄托在固体的礼物和拍下的表情包中。这一瞬间我们都聚在一起,为新生的友谊与默契放声大笑,变成孩子;下一刻我们各自返回自己的旅程,或沉默或轰动地长大。

然后我踏上了归程。

但是故事才不愿意这么文艺地结束。

望着离别的大巴和带着行李的大家,我本来是想借机伤感一下的,却在上车之前就被迫放弃了这个不靠谱的念头。第一眼看到Jeff一脸憨笑作惊呆状站在等同一辆车的队伍里。几分钟后看到活蹦乱跳昵称狗狗的佩瑶,我知道这一路必定是要不由分说欢乐下去,假装文艺可是没机会了。“是朋友就用美颜相机拍照!”佩瑶(Jeff叫她包子)第无数次兴高采烈喊道,拿出手机拉着Jeff一起噼里啪啦自拍,拍了一整套系列表情。精力旺盛的佩瑶拥有一大堆表情迷人的自拍,估计都是先前拍宣传片时没机会用上的--有一次她跑来告诉我们提防摄影师,因为他拍下了她在一旁毫无防备的瞬间。总而言之我们三个在车上兴致勃勃计划要在北京逛一逛,互相吐槽,一路闹腾到北京南站。

故事也不愿意这么闹腾地结束。

估算失误的我们发现在北京一起逛的时间只剩下二十分钟了。匆匆赶地铁,联系Jeff的同学,在地铁站里我还抓紧时间和狗狗自拍留念,最后悠闲地走进南锣鼓巷,尝了大侄子请吃的冰淇淋,悠闲到二十分钟截止我便匆匆赶回了北京南站,在行李寄存处阿姨鄙夷的目光下赶上了回去的车。

过一会收到Jeff短信说他们也差点误了车。我差点觉得很感动,这说明大家真的是一家人。

高铁车厢窗外闪过摄人心魄的白杨树,同样的风景,因为树不像人这么善变。

我看着他们典雅而自由的绿色,回到了旅途开始的地方。故事在这里才平静地结束了。

真的吗?

全国创新英语大赛总决赛结束3

全国创新英语大赛总决赛结束

据悉,此次大赛从初赛到复赛、再到全国总决赛之夜,历时一年。从全国八大赛区、16个考点的复赛到北京总决赛之夜,全国三万多名考生经过层层选拔,200多名考生进入到总决赛,全封闭式六天五夜的总决赛夏令营比赛,通过故事接龙、排位赛、分组辩论赛等赛事的考查,20强选手诞生。他们分别是张婉莹,于跃,郭以沫,李D,侯江霖,肖雨田,周倩,李策,李文婷,何艾浓,薛永晖,朱泽邈,冯页宁,黄瑶,张易,仓宇清,张欧伦,黄元琳,王冰洁,张涵禹。

第11届全国创新英语大赛冠亚季军争夺赛于19日晚揭开帷幕,主要分为情景演绎、分组辩论、人物访谈、终极PK四大部分。每一轮比赛都将淘汰成绩较为落后者,直至诞生冠亚季军,全面考查十强选手的现场应变和综合英语能力。

情景演绎展现个人魅力

通过18日下午严格的speech演讲比赛,角逐出的全国十强选手。据悉,本届大赛前十强选手全部为女生,她们分别是:郭以沫,黄瑶,仓宇清,李D,于跃,王冰洁,李文婷,何艾浓,黄元琳,张易。

十强选手精彩的情景演绎环节,率先带动现场气氛,把比赛变成一场流动的盛宴。

在这一轮的比赛中,选后分为两组,进行情景演绎。第一组选手以“珍惜自己所拥有的”为主题,展现在学习和自己成长的道路上同学之间、朋友之间以及陌生人之间的友谊和彼此之间的关系。第二组选手以“北漂的生活”为主题,展现了两位北漂的歌手一路从被排斥、受争议到最后被包容和接纳的过程。选手们不仅将英语当成是一个交流比赛的内容,还充分发挥自己的想象展现了不一样的自己。

参加本届夏令营、并且见证整场比赛的选手冯建豪感慨地说,两组选手能够在有限的时间里,发挥她们的团队合作能力与出色的英语表达能力,在这个比赛环节就令他惊讶不已。通过评委的综合评定,最终,来自大连的李D和来自沈阳的郭以沫由于分数排名被淘汰。李D说到:“来北京认识了许多的好朋友,我也体会到了一段很快乐的时光,其实走到十强已经是一个十分意外的结果,来到这里,我只是来享受这个比赛,而不仅仅是一个结果。来到这里是因为我喜欢英语,我爱英语,我希望所有进入总决赛的人不要在乎结果,只要我们希望,只要我们能一路走下去,不要去管结果,而应该是这个过程。”

全国创新英语大赛组委会主任,《高校招生》杂志社社长、总编辑何星原说:“同学们的巅峰对决太精彩太优秀,不仅展示了全国最优秀学生英语的最高水平,而且,把中学生的青春与智慧表现得淋漓尽致。全国创新英语大赛创办至今,大赛坚持以创新为特色,以发现为手段,以提升为目的,选拔了一批又一批在英语方面极有天赋的学生,向高校输送了3000多名选手,大赛选手以其独有的气质赢得了我们高校的好评。今后,我们要把全国创新英语大赛办成是“我爱英语”的精神家园,互相切磋的竞技赛场,提升素质的自由王国。”

唇枪舌战擦出思想火花

经过情景演绎的比赛,剩余选手晋级8强分组辩论赛。选手分为两组,分为正反两方进行辩论,并通过成绩的评定决定6强选手名单。在此,选手们在知识创新与知识积累哪个更重要的辩解中展现出自己对知识方面的新看法。

第九届冠军张可一主持第二轮辩论赛环节:由准冠军为冠军引路,把自信进行到底。

在这个环节的比赛中,双方选手一辩条例清晰的开篇立论拉开了辩论赛的决战之幕。双方都在精辟的措辞、犀利的言辞中展现了他们出色的口才和敏捷的思维。辩论赛上思想碰撞、智慧交锋锻炼了选手们的辩论能力,加强了团队的协作配合能力,增加了选手之间的友谊。同学们纷纷表示创意十足,更重要的是精彩的辩论,让评委老师都非常惊讶,也同样折服了在场的所有观众。但是,评委们也指出了这辩论赛场上即兴表演时选手们的一些弱点。

北大附中英语特级教师,高考英语命题专家范存智说到:“参与到这个环节的每一位同学都非常的优秀,但是给大家的建议是选手们在即兴辩论的时候一定要围绕着主题进行。” 华北电力大学任虎林教授指出:“他们的辩论延续了传统的辩论赛的比赛方式,在这里,我个人觉得,同学们可以在传统辩论的基础上增加多一些多元化的内容。在辩论中,很多孩子都从如何去做的方式进行辩解,并没有太多注意到对方的辩解,从对方的辩解寻找攻击点,而是自己在做辩解,我相信如果今后大家在辩论的时候多多注意对方会给大家带来不一样的效果。”比赛的同时让在场的每一位选手能够在比赛中学习,在学习中成长。

通过对每一位选手的表现评定,最终,来自浙江的黄瑶和来自北京的何艾浓止步六强争夺。黄瑶说到:“走到这一步,其实我觉得没有什么可以遗憾的了,很高兴能来到北京,能和这么多的同学一起竞争,一起成长,我觉得这是最重要的,首先我对自己没有太多的评价,因为我觉得我已经尽力了,我想感谢我的朋友,我的老师,我的父母,我只想告诉他们,今后我会变得更强,我在这里很开心,收获很大。”

来自南京成功晋级的仓宇清说到:“在这个舞台上我收获了与队友的默契配合以及在舞台上如何自信的变现自己。”

新鲜尝试体会栏目乐趣

第三轮的淘汰赛中,得分最高的选手分为两组任意挑选队友,并现场抽题,根据抽题内容进行角色分配,进行人物访谈,并通过分数评定淘汰3名选手。

6强选手由各自队长带领,根据既定话题就行人物访谈,把创意融进比赛。

在这个比赛环节中,两队分别抽取到“刘翔退赛”和“十八岁的梦想”两个选题。以于跃和仓宇清为队长的的。两个小组现场将两档栏目演绎的游刃有余。每一位选手在短暂的几分钟准备时间中,将访谈组织得条理清晰,受到了全场观众的好评,也让在座的评委老师和领导感到震惊。

作为大赛的承办方,全国创新英语大赛组委会副主任,搜学教育集团的总裁温兆晔说到:“承办大赛已经有好几个年头了,来到创新英语大赛的这个大舞台的每一位选手都很优秀,今天晚上我特别震撼,震撼我们的每一位选手都是那么的优秀。每一位选手都为梦想而来,今后我们搜学教育集团的每一位同仁将继续为每一位选手搭建展示自己的舞台,为每一位选手搭建这样实现梦想的舞台。”

一位叫“世博727”的微博用户在说到:“可爱的女孩儿,全场的掌声送给你足以证明你的优秀,最青春最靓丽的风采就是你。加油,继续加油!”

在这一轮的比赛中,备受关注的张易、黄元琳和王冰洁没能走到最后,三位女孩现场读了一封写给自己18岁的信,在一片感动的声响中,三位选手走下了舞台,三位选手的陈词内容感动了台下的每一位观众。

来自南京的张易说到:“我觉得自己最大的收获就是勇敢的尝试一些新的东西,第一次站在这么大的舞台面对这么多的选手做这么即兴的表演,我觉得能拿出自己的勇气去表现自己就是自己的一份收获。并且在这个舞台上大家都很优秀,没有谁比谁更优秀,能站在这个舞台上就是一种勇气,是一次展示自己完美的机会,我已经尝试了很多,我不敢说比他们优秀,但是,站在这里,我挑战了自己,战胜了我自己。”

名嘴终极PK,中西智慧的融合

经过三轮的竞争和比赛,最终三名选手仓宇清、于跃、李文婷进行了一场冠亚季军的最后争夺战。现场三位外教走上舞台与三位选手一对一进行了PK赛,三位选手沉着冷静,毫无畏惧。在三轮的PK比赛中,评委根据选手表现,最终评出了本届大赛的冠亚季军,分别是冠军仓宇清、亚军于跃、季军李文婷。

名嘴PK让选手与外教进行思想和语言的交锋,向世界发出自己的声音。

在比赛过程中,中国选手积极与外教应对,表现出的自信和流利的语言交流能力赢得了场下观众的阵阵掌声。全国创新英语大赛专家委员会副主任,安博教育集团副总裁黄钢老师说到:“看着一张张青春洋溢的脸,我今天也非常的高兴,也很激动。此次选手的水平之高出乎我的意料,前十强的选手表现极其优秀。”

在分享本次比赛的收获时,获得亚军的选手于跃说到:“我觉得跟队友之间的协调是非常重要的,今天无论我们表现得怎么样,我们已经做到了最好,我们试图去给大家营造一种适合学习有学术氛围的气氛,我也确信大家会相信我们,因为我的队友也都是我最好的伙伴。”

本届大赛的冠军获得者仓宇清说:“我不敢说是自己真的比别人优秀,但是我战胜了那个羞涩,胆怯的自己,勇敢的表达了自己,并且和我的队友配合得默契。在比赛中我交了这么多的朋友,我觉得这是我真正的收获,也是我非常骄傲的地方。”

至此,“安博杯”第11届全国创新英语大赛正式落下帷幕,在五天六晚的比赛活动中,大赛组委会还评选出六大单项奖,黄元琳凭借着个人极强的表现力获得了最佳舞台表现、最受媒体关注、最佳人气三个个人奖项。在“最有态度小记者”的活动中,周倩的积极表现和采访获得了“最有态度小记者”的称号。王梦琪则凭借着一支《天路》的天籁之音赢得了最佳才艺奖。
