The students had to speak on a topic in English for two minutes.We spoke to the winner, Henry. “I’m so happy that I won,” he said. “I advise people to speak slowly. If they want to be good public speakers, they’d better speak clearly and confidently.”We also spoke to several other students about English Week. One of them was Amy.“I really enjoyed English Week. It gave me a chance to learn new words. In my opinion, every school should have an English Week. It’s well worth doing,” she said.On the last day of English Week, the head teacher gave a speech to the whole school. He gave students some suggestions on how to improve their English. “You should communicate in English with your friends whenever you can. You should read English books and magazines, and watch English television programmes. Above all, you should enjoy English!” he said.英语:生活的乐趣罗西桥学校英语周上周, 罗西桥学校的学生们的努力工作使他们的英语周大获成功。在图书馆里有一个英语书籍义卖和寻宝活动。一些学生上演了一个英语话剧。其他同学参加了一个英语歌唱比赛。还有一个演讲比赛。学生们必须用英语作一个两分钟的主题演讲。我们采访了获胜者,亨利。“我很高兴我赢了,”他说。“我建议人们说慢点。如果他们想成为好的公众演说家,他们最好表达清晰而且自信。”我们也和其他几个学生关于英语周作了交流。其中一个是艾米。“我真的很喜欢英语周。它给了我一个机会来学习新单词。在我看来,每个学校都应该有一个英语周。这是值得做的事情,”她说。在英语周的最后一天,校长发表了全校演讲。他给了学生们一些关于如何提高他们的英语水平的建议。“你应该尽可能和你的朋友用英语交流。你应该读英语书和杂志,看英语电视节目。最重要的是,你应该享受英语!”他说。 ?
