今年11月为八十中国际部的英语月。在学生会和所有英语老师的组织下，我们成功开展了多姿多彩的英语活动和比赛：百词竞赛、演讲比赛和配音比赛，同学们收获颇多。
This November was the English Month in theInternational Department of Beijing No. 80 High School. During this month, withthe help and organization from the Student Union and all the English teachers, wehave successfully held many kinds of English activities and contests—EnglishVocabulary Competition, Speech Competition and Voice Acting Contest. We alllearned a lot from those activities.
百词竞赛
English VocabularyCompetition
同学们首先迎来的是百词竞赛。在11月19日（周四）班会课中，高一年级开展了单词比赛。单词的主要来源于开学以来重点强调的高中三年的单词，其形式包括听力填空、定义配对和单词填空。同学们十分认真地答题，在老师判卷之后也评出了奖项。我们从中找到了自己的差距，也有了更多的动力。
English Vocabulary Competition came first onNovember 19th. It was a Thursday, and all the four classes of Grade10 conducted this competition in class. The words mainly came from the words welearned in this semester. The competition included listening and filling in theblanks, definition matching, and reading and filling in the blanks. All ourclassmates participated in the competition very seriously. Ten students fromGrade 10 were awarded with prizes. From the competition, we knew ourselvesbetter and it also gave us motivation to study hard.
演讲比赛
Speech Competition
第二周，由学生会学习部主办了一场演讲比赛。早在半个月前，这个活动的筹备就在如火如荼的开展着，通过初赛选拔出了六名同学进入决赛。在决赛当天11月26日，六名同学虽然略带紧张但都很出色地完成了演讲，并都获得了老师的好评。在座的评委老师也适当地提出了小建议，同学们学到了很多演讲技巧。
In the following week, the Study Division of theStudent Union hosted the Speech Competition. We had spent half a month preparingfor this competition. The first round was done and six candidates entered thefinal round. On November 26th, although these six candidates were abit nervous, they carried out their speech successfully and obtained positivefeedback from the teachers. Meanwhile, the teachers gave us some useful tipsabout how to deliver a good speech.
配音比赛
Voice Acting Competition
当英语月渐渐接近尾声的时候，我们又有了配音比赛。同学们对自己感兴趣的电影片段配音，十分展现个性，其评判标准为语音、情感和连贯程度。参赛同学演绎得十分生动和入神，引来了在场老师和同学们的阵阵掌声。颁奖仪式过后，也就意味着英语月暂时告一段落了。
When the English Month was coming to the end, welaunched the Voice Acting Competition. The students dubbed some classical partsfrom some of our favorite movies. The assessment criteria included sound and pronunciation,emotion and consistence with the original voice. The teachers and students alsogave a big round of applause for their vivid performances. The English Monthwas completed in the students’ cheers and applause.
虽然英语月的活动都结束了，但英语学习却从未停止。作为将来要走出国门的我们，我们还需要在英语各个方面进行提高。希望同学们接下来会更加努力地学习，我们一起努力！
