INTRODUCTION Develop excellent, comprehensive English skills As English listening tests become essential for university and high school examinations, the ability to listen and speak English is very important. Languages only become effective when you know how to use them fluently. In addition to professional teaching standards, through activities and competitions, we are able to provide a good learning environment for our students. Our aim is to develop elite international students.

Speech Competition The speech competition is a lot more behind to give a good speech. Students have to write the speech, they have brainstorm the ideas and they have to think of the logical way to deliver their messages. To ensure fairness and better match students' English ability, the Speech competition will be split into two categories, Speech Competition A and Speech Competition B. • Speech Competition A Students will be given a list of nine statements – three about the environment, three about technology, and three about everyday life. They will pick the one they think is the most interesting, and deliver a three-minute speech explaining why they agree or disagree with the statement.

• Speech Competition B The speech topic is One Thing I Want. Each contestant will give a two-minute speech. Students can pick something they want to have, something they want to do, or something they want everyone to do. Whatever they decide, they need to say why it is important to them, and why they want it so badly.

Mini Musical Competition Mini Musical competition gives students the opportunity to have fun and show their confidence. Students are able to learn from each other and gain interests in learning English.

培養全方位英語力 隨著大學入學考試及國中會考陸續將英文聽力測驗納入成績計算，英語聽說能力已成為新世代重要的能力指 標。「語言，懂得活用才有力量」，英語力的養成，除了透過專業教師靈活的授課外，透過活動或競賽，更 可以全方位建構學員聽說讀寫完整的實力，並培養面對挑戰的勇氣。何嘉仁專業教學團隊，為學員精心規劃 多元的課程與活動，期許培養更多新世代的國際菁英！

英文演說比賽 提升學生文章撰寫架構、寫作和組織能力，並增強英語發音、語調、自信和公眾演說技巧。比賽依照學員的 學習級數以及年齡，分成兩組 : 英文演說比賽 A 組 和 英文演說比賽 B 組。 • 英文演說比賽 A 組 此階段有三個主題，自然、科技、生活。每個主題各有三個議題，總共為九個議題。學生將從這些議題 中選出最感興趣的一個，在三分鐘內表達贊同或反對的立場，並陳述論點。 • 英文演說比賽 B 組 今年的演說主題是「One Thing I Want」。學生可針對自己想要的東西，想做的事情或希望大眾一起參 與的活動進行描述。不論主題為何，都須強調此事物為何對他們如此重要、為何令他們如此嚮往。

英文微音樂劇比賽 提升學生語言運用機會及表達自信，並透過同儕互動的刺激，提高學習興趣。

學生感言

I was really surprised when I heard my name announced as the winner. It was my first time joining the speech competition, and I never imagined that I would win the championship.

I want to thank my teachers because they spent a lot of time teaching me and they told me how to give a better speech. I also want to thank my parents. They gave me a lot of confidence to stand on stage. When my teacher told us about the competition, I thought it would be a great experience for me, and I wanted to give it a try. I'm so happy that I did!

Thank you HESS for such a great opportunity. 家長感言

當聽到 Jay 拿到第九屆何嘉仁英語力大賽演講比賽 A 組總冠軍的當下，心裡真的是充滿了感動與

驕傲，感動 Jay 從報名、通過分校賽以及區域賽的晉級到參加總決賽期間努力不懈的練習（幾乎每天

從起床、睡前到洗澡時都自己對著鏡子努力的練習），也為 Jay 的努力終於獲得了站在總決賽的舞台上 發光發熱而驕傲。

很感謝何嘉仁舉辦了這樣的活動，讓全國何嘉仁的孩子為了展現自己的學習成果而努力，每個孩

子都很優秀，都很棒，參加比賽之餘也讓孩子懂得勝不驕敗不餒的運動家精神，最終的結果並不代表

什麼，在過程中所學習到的才是最寶貴的經驗，希望何嘉仁能繼續舉辦這樣具有意義的活動，繼續培 養更多優秀的孩子，讓孩子喜歡並享受活用第二語言的樂趣。 指導老師的話

「只要我們努力，一切皆有可能！」這句話套在我的學生 Jay 身上一點也不為過！為什麼這麼說 呢？當我對學生宣布：「英語力開始報名囉！」底下 一片寂靜…心想：「好吧！下課時來個師生交流（一

個一個溝通）」，當時 Jay 參賽意願不高，他從來沒

參加過何嘉仁演講，覺得很困難，所以信心不夠。這

時，Jay 的媽媽也鼓勵他，認為這是一個難得的機會， 而且 Jay 的英文能力也不錯，希望老師也能多鼓勵他， 於是 Jay 終於報名了 !

Jay 是個認真的學生，既然答應參加比賽，就會

努力到底。在上課期間，只要老師說什麼地方需要

改，Jay 一定不假思索馬上改過來，這是很難能可貴 的，通常，一旦養成的習慣是很難更改的，但只要跟 Jay 說，他就會努力修正，因為他相信要做對的事 !

當然過程中難免遇到挫折、有恐懼及信心崩潰的時

候，畢竟這是他第一次參加這麼有規模的比賽，但在 一次又一次的練習中都可以看 到 Jay 的進步。

只要秉持著「一、相

信自己， 二、繼續相信

自 己， 三、 堅 持 相 信 自

己 」 的 信 念， 你 也 會 像

Jay 一樣，是那一隻黑馬！

I'm really grateful to be able to receive this award. It really means a lot to me to have all my effort pay off. First, I'd like to thank my teachers for helping me practice and improve my speech. I'd also like to thank my parents for their encouragement and patience with listening to me practice. This competition taught me a lot about condidence, creativity, and courage as well. Since everyone likes my speech, I will work hard on it and inspire other people around the world to make our future better for everyone. Next year, maybe I can help my fellow students practice their speeches as well. 家長感言

很高興有這個機會可以讓孩子參加何嘉仁所舉辦的英語演說比賽，透過賽前不斷的練習與整個比

賽過程讓孩子收獲滿滿；除了讓孩子可以有一個很好的舞台去挑戰自己，並可以讓孩子擁有不同面向 思考的能力，更可應用平時學習的英文，完整的表達自己的想法，也累積別人所沒有的寶貴經驗。何 嘉仁對家長而言，不僅是學習英文的最佳選擇，也是一路陪伴著孩子成長的最佳夥伴。我可以很自豪 的說：「讓孩子選擇在何嘉仁學習英文，是最正確的決定」。 指導老師的話

It was a pleasure teaching the ECC class this year, particularly given that Schaffhausen was able to make it to the Taipei finals. For Taiwanese students, developing a confidence in spoken Englsih is not always easy, yet many understand how important this skill is and it shows in their commitment to practicing their speeches. I am looking forward to future competitions and further watching our students grow! (Benjamin) Schaffhausen is creative, has a good sense of humor and also cares about nature. Given his dedication to his topic, I'm honored to be one of his teachers. Without a doubt, he showed his best at the competition and made us proud. I was glad to see him sincerely and confidently give his speech, bravely overcoming his stage fright. I believe winning the competiotion is a great memory in his life and going forward it will encourage him to continue diligently pursuing the study of English. (Joyce)

學生感言

First, I want to thank my teachers for using ther own time to teach me. Next, thank you to my parents, because they always surpported me when I was sad or frustrated. They always tell me "Practice makes perfect," and it really does! Dad first thought that I couldn't reach the top three; he thought that it was a bit impossible. He said that I proved nothing is impossible for me when I work hard.

I had my shot for the Speech Competition. I told myself a lot of times, "No matter how hard the competition will be, I'll try my best to reach the top three!" Actually, when I got onto the stage, I was so completely nervous that I thought I was going to freak out. It was my frst time to join the HESS Speech Competition. I want to encourage other kids to compete after me, and to try their hardest, too.

I'm grateful that the the HESS Speech Competition helped me learn how express myself, and to be more confident and brave when I speak. 家長感言

陪伴孩子從以前團體組的微音樂劇到這次個人組的演說，我真心覺得何嘉仁英語力比賽是很棒的

活動，我們見證了這確實能多方位的提升英語實力，並大大培養孩子的勇氣和自信。最重要的是，在 過程中就會有不少的收穫，像今年 A 組的演講是以論說的方式來表達自己對某議題的看法，為了讓論

點有說服力，中師 Tr. Doris 特別指導 Cindy 如何蒐集相關資料來支持，所以，在內容準備上，就同時

有了英文寫作及思辨能力的訓練；而外師 Tr. Jared 從英文的發音、說話的聲調、臉部的表情、肢體的

動作等細節，來調整 Cindy 的表達能力，我驚喜的看見孩子一次又一次的突破，展現出更多的可能； 還有頗富挑戰性的即席看圖演說，能將孩子學習了那麼久的英文，真正整合並應用出來，以父母的角

度來看，是不錯的磨練。實質的收穫真的是不勝枚舉，在這些收穫之後，所帶來的快樂和滿足，更是 令我們感到值得的地方。很謝謝老師的鼓勵和指導，也感謝何嘉仁用心舉辦這樣的比賽，期待未來有 更多的學生積極參與，一起來親身體會這活動的充實和美好。

指導老師的話

We are so excited that Cindy has gotten third place in the HESS ECC Competition! We both think it is a testament to how hard she worked and how hard public speaking can be. Cindy worked hard on and greatly improved her speech by focusing more on being expressive and exciting as a speaker, along with perfecting her pronunciation and memorization. The ECC Competition is a great opportunity for students to practice these skills in new ways outside of the classroom. Through this competition, students are not only able to improve their own speaking skills but also learn from their competitors as well. We think this experience will help prepare Cindy to continue learning and speaking English in her daily life, and give her the confidence to use it in whatever opportunities the future holds. We can't wait to see what's next for Cindy!

This was the third time that I joined the ECC Speech Competition. A first, I wasn't sure if I would have time to prepare for it because I am a junior high school student. It was challenging to do my school work and find time to practice for the speech. But my mom said, "I don't care if you win or not. At least you should try." I was really surprised to receive this special award. It is an honor and I feel grateful. I really appreciate the encouragement from my mom and the help from my teachers.

They taught me and supported me a lot. I really enjoyed this opportunity, and I believe, "The more experience I gain, the better I will be." 家長感言

學生感言

When I heard that I only won the Outstanding Delivery Award, my mood was extremely complicated because I got the same award last year! I cried immediately after receiving the award because I didn't achieve my goal. At the end of the competition, I really felt that I haven't improved and I couldn't listen to what my teachers said. After that, I thought calmly. Maybe the award is important to me, in fact, whether I enjoyed the stage or not which is also really important. So I slowly accepted the reality, and I also compared this year's performance to last year's. And I found that much progress I had been made. Besides, I want to say "thank you" to Teacher Roelien and Teacher Oliver because they have worked hard. They have always taught me patiently, and even used their rest time to train me. Both of them always gave me a hug and told me how amazing I did after the competition.

It's really an honor to be their student. In the end, this competition does not mean failure, but it means that I'm moving towards success! 家長感言

指導老師的話

Jessica is an amazingly hardworking student and it has been an absolute pleasure teaching her.

She has such a great passion for English and she especially enjoys delivering speeches. It is so great to see how she was able to express herself creatively through her speeches. I am so unbelievably proud of all of her achievements throughout the past 2 years and also for the amazing improvement she has shown from last year! Jessica you are such a talented young student and your passion and motivation is what makes my job as a teacher worthwhile. We are unbelievably proud of you and all you have achieved and we hope that you continue to live out your passion and inspire others through doing what you love! Never give up!

Enjoy learning English in the future.

Hi ! I am Justin, I was really excited to go to the finals of the speech E.C.C I think it's really hard to get to the finals because you need to spend a lot of time to practice.

Then, you need to perform in front of many people.

During the whole process, I learned a lot and improved on my writing, speaking and listening. This was not my first time to enter the competition and I think I have done better each year. I always try and learn to be more confident, so I don't get scared of all of the people there listening. I will and must do better next year.

指導老師的話

When I first met Justin, he portrayed a candid and genuine appreciation towards the English

language that has instantly allowed him to take his speaking to a competitive level.

From what I am told, his driven nature toward learning can always be seen in and out of the classroom. His presence and dedication towards excellence proves to his peers, that possibilities and dreams are endless. It has been my utmost pleasure to watch him grow through the process and I am humbled by the fact he's my student. Everyone at DaWulun HESS is so proud of you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

學生感言

When I knew I entered the championship, I was surprised and thrilled. It was my first time to participate in a speech competition. I still remember how amazing the journey was. Starting from the speech class, I not only learned how to write an essay but also the skills of giving a speech. And of course, I made some new friends!

Practicing was the most difficult part to me because I needed to find my weaknesses and fix them all.

Tones, gestures, the correct verb forms and time-controlling...I even cried several times due to the pressure.

I want to thank all my teachers and my family for their support and encouragement. Now when I look back, everything was worth it. Although I didn't win the championship, it was truly a great experience for me.

Now I'm not afraid to stand in front of people to express myself. This competition has changed me, and I can't wait to see how much I will grow next time!

指導老師的話

Teaching the HESS English Competence Competition speech class has been a fun and exciting experience. It's such a pleasure to see what great and interesting ideas the students come up with. This year's topics were particularly compelling. It certainly produced a plethora of great ideas and even better speeches. It was amazing to help guide our students through each stage of the competition―from the initial lessons, to the branch and area competitions, and finally to the finals―to share their eagerness and enthusiasm, their joy, and their elation with success. Congratulations to all the students and see you next year!

This is my first time to join ECC. I am glad that I got into the finals. When I was practicing my

speech, I really wanted to give up. Practicing was a little annoying, but I decided to keep practicing because the big stage in the finals was really attracting me. I think I am really lucky that I could step into the finals, but there is still some room for me to improve. I have learned a lot of skills and I know I will be better next time. Next year, I will join ECC again with my sister. I believe that I will be stronger and learn more from the competition. 指導老師的話

Congratulation, Sara! You have been doing an awesome job in the speech competition and

for moving on to the finals. You have put a great amount of effort and you deserve to be where you are. During speech class, you always came well-prepared and were ready to listen to the teachers' advice. Keep being a great student in the future as you are one of the best. All of the teachers and your parents are extremely proud of your most recent achievement. We hope you can keep trying to do your best in the future. Keep moving on and be your own super star!

學生感言

I am Fiona! This is the fourth time I have participated in this competition. I am also honored to advance to the Championship!

I owe this honor to my parents and the hard-working teachers who always support me: Teacher Sonya, Teacher Justin and Teacher Lauren! Thank you all. They gave me great encouragement and patiently helped me to revise my script! And gave me many suggestions on my speech! Without them, I couldn't have done it.

I want to thank for this competition to let me overcome my fear of going on stage and how to do my best performance on it!

指導老師的話

Fiona should be proud of her achievements. Between November and March, she made considerable progress in many areas. She crafted a convincing speech, rewrote and edited it to fit the criteria, then she diligently practiced how to deliver it in a convincing way. It has been a pleasure working with Fiona and I look forward to seeing her future accomplishments. This is just the beginning. (Teacher Sonya) It's really a great honor to teach Fiona and went to the final speech competition. Unlike other kids, Fiona's going to junior high school, so she had to prepare for her school tests and she had to practice her speech and picture prose. It's not easy for a kid to do so many things in a short time. I'm really proud of her and her English will be better and better in the future. Thank you HESS for this speech competition.

This year, 2021, I stood on the big stage of HESS Annual English Competence Competition and fulfill my goal. I did like this challenge and the achievement I have made all the way to the finals. No matter choosing the topic, writing the content, or practicing the speech, I did work very hard and overcome my weakness. This wonderful and special experience make me have more confidence and polish my English speech skill. "Never give up" and "Keep trying" are the two things I have learned during these three months. I do want to thank all teachers and my family. Especially I want to thank my mom. She gave me a lot of support and help me become better and better － BE MY OWN SUPERSTAR!

指導老師的話

Well done, Joyce! Your speech is great! You did a lot of great research for your speech. Your argument is really strong and will make people think differently and more realistically. Try to reference some articles or documentaries to help make your points stronger. You are so confident when you deliver your speech! You are amazing at getting people's attention and you really focus on the audience. Make sure to keep eye-contact with your listeners to help connect with them.

Your pronunciation is super! You sound really clear and your accent sounds really close to a native speaker. Just be careful with getting the stress correct with some of the longer words in your speech to make sure everything is perfect. Last of all, remember to speak at a steady pace - not too fast, but not too slow. This will help your audience understand all of your speech. You can do it!

參賽。如果沒有你們我就無法擁有這次寶貴的經驗，所以我要繼續加油，期許自己在下一次的比賽中， 拿到更好的成績來感謝大家！ 指導老師的話

Teaching and coaching the speech competition is always a pleasure. None of this would be possible without a delicated team devoted to success. All of the students are so talented that we can learn so much about their passion in expressing themselves confidently. Moreover, this competition provides a wonderful opportunity not only for students but also teachers to take on challenges, overcome difficulties and show enthusiam.

Finally, we would like to congratulate Angela again. What an unforgettable journey filled with so many precious memories. Please be proud of yourself because you're already a star. Always remember, you're the only one who can define yourself. We love you!

I am honored to have participated in the HESS International Annual English Competence Competition. I could not be more grateful to my teachers, Teacher Steven, Teacher, Angel, Teacher Ryan, Teacher Janet, and to my family, who have always supported me and taught me well.

This was my second time to participate in the HESS English Speech Competition. Last time, I did not advance to the finals. I felt very upset and sad. Then, I practiced harder this time and I finally won the award - Champion! It really made me feel excited!

I think the competition means a lot to me! Just like my parents always tell me, "It is not about winning, it is about not giving up." I want to say, no matter where you are from, your dreams are valid.

So, be your own superstar! 家長感言

首先，我要感謝何嘉仁提供這麼好的一個舞台，讓小朋友們在這裡學習並發光發熱，再來我要感

謝所有教導 Ebe 的老師，謝謝妳們對 Ebe 的栽培，在這段時間，我看到了 Ebe 不斷的努力練習以及她

這段時間的成長，覺得很欣慰。看她那麼辛苦的上課學習，其實做家長的會感到非常的心疼與不捨。

然而，當她站在舞台的那一剎那，我覺得 Ebe 所有的辛苦都是值得的 ! 這是我們全家一個非常難忘的 記憶，我們真的很珍惜！

歡迎所有在何嘉仁讀書的小朋友都能踴躍的來參加這個比賽，相信在這裡，大家都可以學習到更

多的經驗與培養到更多的自信心，領獎固然值得喝采，但背後付出的努力與汗水更值得大家肯定，只 要不放棄，機會就是你的喔！謝謝大家！

指導老師的話

2019 年 Ebe 升上 ESL6，熱愛舞台的她，立即報

名了「英語力寫作演說」課程，非常努力的她，在分 校賽中脫穎而出進入區域賽，在比賽前我們全力衝刺， 結果很可惜的 Ebe 未能進入全國賽，平時內斂懂事

的她終於眼淚潰堤，身為指導老師的我只能安慰她。 Don't be a quitter! Let's try it again next year! 這是我

當時給她的鼓勵。2020 年 9 月，當我拿著報名表給 Ebe 時，她非常興奮的說：Teacher Angel! I want to try it again! 沒錯！不論輸贏，只要能上舞台好好分享自己 的觀點就是一個成功的演說者。

為了這次的比賽，我們抓緊時間，只要一有空閒

就是不斷的練習，全分校的學生都是我們的臨時觀眾，

一路以來，從分校賽到區域賽，最後晉級到全國賽， 我們不敢鬆懈，只管低頭努力！因 為我們非常珍惜這個好不容易 得到的舞台。幸運的是，所 有的堅持與努力、汗水與淚 水最後化成了甜美的果實。 Ebe, I am really proud of

you .I have gotten to witness you become a real super star!

I am very thankful for my teachers. They helped me a lot with my speech and I just want to say thank you to them and this competition let me learn a lot of things. First, it helped me with my writing.

Second, it helped me get better at pronouncing words. Third, it helped me get lots and lots of friends like Harry and Sophie. I am so proud of myself. My teachers always say believe in yourself, if you are on the stage you are already the best. I was on the stage so I am already the best superstar! 家長感言

Ian 的英語啟蒙是在 HESS，從二十六個字母的識讀開始，到參加英語演說比賽；從初賽、區域賽，

到入選總決賽。這段時間，我看到 Ian 令人驚喜的成長軌跡，他總是對英語學習投射巨大的熱情，而

這份對知識的渴求，甚至能讓孩子勇敢預支對未來的想望，並且朝著他的夢想國度出發。

感謝何嘉仁舉辦英語力大賽，更感謝東園分校老師無私的教導，因為老師的循循善誘，Ian 才能

大膽碰觸不同的英語領域，並且以熱情澆灌，鼓舞自己勇敢前進。也期待更多孩子一同參與，從提升 英語力開始，進而提升自信，創造每個孩子獨一無二的燦爛宇宙！ 指導老師的話

It was inspiring watching Ian throughtout the speech and writing competition. He was so excited about it and he was very determined to do the best that he possibly could. He was dedicated and worked very hard to practice his speech. He would practice every day at home and at school, it was amazing to see him use his free time to practice and memorize his speech. He loves English so much and often talks about how much he would prefer to only learn English. He inspires others to speak English and even shared a story with me about when he was at home and he couldn't remember how to say strawberries in Chinese, so he had to ask his parents what it was in Chinese.

I also want to say thank you to HESS because they give me a chance to stand on the stage and convey my thoughts that I want to share with everyone in the world. I chose "World Peace" because I see lots of people dying in wars, so I wanted to convey how important world peace is through this competition.

I will join the speech contest again next year, and I will do my best to prepare for it once more. 家長感言

記得去年叫 Lucas 第一次參加這種英文演說比賽時，因為那時我們家離分校比較遠，每到要上課

練習到很晚才能回家時，他都會給我一副臭臉看。那時我告訴他只要有上台比賽的經驗，即使一次就 好了。沒想到今年他竟然自己說要再參加，我就告訴他那你要開心地去上課。也真的沒想到他竟然可 以通過區域賽代表南區去台北參加總決賽，而且還得到第三名！

因為以前曾在 HESS 工作過，所以我很信任這裡挑選培訓的師資與精心研發的教材，也真的很感

謝一直以來辛苦教導 Lucas 的中師 Sharon 與外師 Craig，有你們真好！ 指導老師的話

It's truly an honor to be part of the speech competition once again. To watch the students improve their pronunciation and delivery, rehearsal after rehearsal makes it all worthwhile. It takes a lot of time and effort to memorize the speech and the students should be commended for this. It also takes a lot of bravery to get up in front of hundreds of people and deliver what's in your heart. Lucas, who got third place this year, wrote a fantastic and moving speech, then delivered it powerfully.

I am amazed at his confidence, and the whole branch is very proud of him. It shows just what can be achieved when you dare to dream!

To attend the HESS English Competence Competition was the most challenging event in my life. At the beginning, I had no confidence about storytelling, but when I got a lot of advice from my parents and teachers it was easier. I practiced a lot and became more confident. I realize that "For one minute on stage, one has to practice ten years off stage". So I told myself that I have been ready for it when I stood up nervously on the stage. I felt relaxed, smiled and confident to share my story. Finally, I got the "Outstanding Pronunciation" award.

I cannot be more grateful for my family and dear Teacher Leighton and Jessie. The whole process made a wonderful memory is "It's not about winning. It's about not giving up". Thanks HESS for giving me this great chance, and I wish other students can also attend this excellent competition to make them grow and make them confident using English. 家長感言

孩子的潛力是無窮的！在金城分校老師們的鼓勵下，Celine 勇敢跳脫舒適圈，首度接受今年英語

力演說比賽的挑戰，開始了近五個月的試煉之旅。在緊湊的行程之下，她必須參加賽前寫作及口說訓

練課程。比賽分兩階段，其中第二階段 Storytelling 需在 20 分鐘內，隨機抽出 2 張圖卡自己發想故事

結尾，完成寫作並用 1 分鐘的時間述說故事，是她覺得困難度較高，也是投注最多心力準備的部分。

抱著觀賽的心情參加了分校初賽，幸運晉級複賽，當她拿到進軍總決賽的門票時，全家人都以她為榮！ 因為她認真努力，汲取每次舞台經驗同時不斷修正、改進缺失，最後在總決賽能夠展現最好的自我，

獲得「傑出發音獎」，已值回票價！感謝 Teacher Jessie 及 Teacher Leighton 特別撥冗加強指導，這一 路的心路歷程，點滴在 Celine 心頭，也將是她最難忘最值得紀念的回憶！ 指導老師的話

Being a Speech and Writing Competition teachers is an honor as well as a great challenge.

One needs to have a lot of patience and be able to develop young minds to think out of the box as well as being creative. Mostly they come with ideas which need a lot of pruning and molding into a speech which will be convincing and good to the ear.

Thereafter it's getting the students to deliver it with good intonation not using to big gestures, trying to stay in the time limit. Then it comes to interpreting pictures and write an ending. I'd which I have to say our student, Celine did exceptionally well. Every week we gave her a picture to interpret and in my years of teaching, I've never seen a student doing so well. One also need to continue motivating the weaker ones, so they can feel proud of our efforts!!

I have to say that this year's competition was very tough!

Thanks to the teachers for teaching me and correcting my speech. It was stressful but exciting to be able to take part in this speech competition with the other contestants from all over Taiwan. I would also like to thank my dad for his support and care. Although I got the "Outstanding Delivery" award, I think there is still a chance to progress and improve. I've worked hard for a long time and I think this ECC competition is not about winning. What it's about not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it.

This is my favorite motto now. Thank you! 家長感言

首先是要感謝何嘉仁舉辦這麼有意義的活動，感謝評審團給 Ray 這個肯定，更應該感謝的是台中

三民分校指導老師們的全力的支持與教導。感謝大家在 Ray 人生沒有任何成績的時候，能有機會經歷 這麽一段，勵志的過程和美好的記憶。再來我覺得所有參與活動的同學們，和 Ray 有著一樣的歴程， 細心及耐心的準備和勇敢且堅毅的站台上展現自我。

每一位同學，每一段演說，都是完美執行力的表現，這是這個活動最有價值的一件事。一項賽事

總有名次的功績，但榮耀應該是屬於所有參賽選手共有，令人感動的是，很清楚的看到老師、選手、

家長、一群人共同完成一件事，而非老師推家長、家長推老師，現今社會上推行的親子共學，在競賽 會場，上演著一幕幕感激、振奮、溫馨的一面。期望活動越辦越成功，選手們更能開拓視野，創造屬 於更美好的自己。

指導老師的話

Being part of this year's ECC was surprisingly enjoyable. It was a really good chance to see how some students react to being able to write about a topic they themselves feel passionate about. Also, personally I am an advocate for public speaking activities. Not only do they increase the students English skill, they also act as practice and preparation for most jobs in their adult life, where you need to be comfortable sharing ideas to others and be able to present those ideas effectively.

I was geniunely proud to not only see my own students, but to see all of the other contestants really try to embrace that. I would definitely consider being a part of it.

在這次的演講比賽中，我獲得許多豐富的經驗，我會想要參加此次何嘉仁演講比賽是因為演講可以 訓練自己在台上面對群眾講話時，不會那麼緊張。分校賽時，我順利的晉級了，但老師覺得我口齒不清， 所以寒假期間，我幾乎每天到分校報到做練習，區域賽時，我的口齒、發音明顯改善，讓我領悟到什麼 是“Practice makes perfect.”的道理。因為不斷的努力，我才有機會站上總決賽的舞台，當我站上大家 夢寐以求的舞台時，我才發現以區域 top 之姿能夠看到的事物是多麼的不一樣！當面對更多高手時，我 也發現自己的不足。今年我未能得名，但我學到名次不是最重要的，重要的是有沒有想要把一件事做好 的決心， 明年我會再接再厲，為展現更棒、更好的自己努力做好每一個環節。

It was great seeing Queena progress as she practiced for the speech contest. I have been teaching Queena in class since last year, so I already knew her ability, but I was very impressed by how much more natural her English got during that time. After I started coaching her, I quickly realized how good she was at listening to my advice, and trying what I suggested. She always had a great attitude.

Even after weeks of practicing, she still came to my coaching sessions happy and ready to learn. After advancing to the finals, I was worried that she might get discouraged by all of the extra work, but she always stayed positive!

Even after the contest is over, I can still see the results of Queena's hard work when she's in class. I'm very proud of Queena and I'm happy I get to continue to see her grow!

I'm really glad that I can join this English competence competition. During the preparation, Teacher

Ellen and Ryan encouraged me a lot, and Teacher Frank, Mimi, and Forest taught me how to practice.

They made me learn that practice makes perfect. I really want to thank them all. Although I did not win any prizes in the Championship, I saw many excellent competitors from this competition. They made me realize that how I should improve myself in the future. I also learned how to face challenge. I wish I can join this competition one more time next year! I'm ready!

指導老師的話

Jeremy is a great student. He has a lot of personal drive and commitment. He always

strived to improve on his speech each time we practiced and often would ask me for advice on actions and pronunciation. He would incoperate these ideas and polish his speech every week. The time and effort that Jeremy gave to his speech is admirable. Both me and our branch are very proud of him considering it was his first time to participate in the ECC competition. I hope that he comes back next year and give it another go.

I believe he has a lot of potential. It has been a real pleasure to have been working with Jeremy this year!

Lastly, I want to thank my parents for buying me a Nintendo Switch as a reward! I was a shy girl before this speech contest, but I found out the best part of this opportunity was that it built up my self confidence. I learned a lot from the other excellent contestants. It was a precious experience and I believe that I will do better next time!

We are very proud of Elena's performance in this year's National Speech Competition. She

practiced very hard on her own outside of school, and we are pleased that all of the work helped her get to Championship. The HESS Speech Competition is a great opportunity to help students become even more confident speakers, and Elena is a prime example of that. We hope she continues her work and compete again next year!

指導老師的話

Elmer has an outstanding imagination. He is both a grounded and calm person, and an outside

the box, world-creating, free-thinking student. When he signed up for the speech class I was certain we would see something great from him, and he really didn't disappoint. My worry for Elmer initially was brevity. I wondered if he could condense his usually sprawling ideas into a concise and direct two minute pitch for something he wants, and again, he did so with flying colors. Speaking in front of an audience isn't easy for anyone, and having a novel idea on top of it is something you can be really proud of. There was some really tough competition this year, and the students were all very impressive. I am lucky to be Elmer's teacher, and proud of what he has done in this competition. Watch out next year, I'm sure he'll be back!

I'm Chelsea. I'm from Longtan Branch, I've been at HESS since I was 4 years old. Now I'm 10 years

old. I've learned a lot of things in HESS. I hope I can become better and better.

In this competition, I learned a lot. I knew I'm not the best when I heard other contestants speaking.

Although I lost, I knew I've tried my best. This competition taught me not to be so proud. I will continue to try my best and practice more. I will be ready for another opportunity. Thank you HESS. 指導老師的話

Chelsea has always been an attentive and conscientious learner who has great interest not only

in learning and speaking English but also in continuously bettering herself. I was not surprised when she signed up for the Speech Competition because I knew that it would challenge her. I found that in each lesson she would find new angles to market her ideas and as the lessons progressed she created her own masterpiece. She gained a lot of confidence in public speaking and the ability to express her ideas in a creative manner. I am so proud of how well she did but also in how much she was able to grow in just eight weeks. What a wonderful student!

他們的努力，即使上了整天的課也從沒抱怨過，每次練習都很開心充滿正能量！大家為了共同的目標 一起努力、付出與成長。可惜沒能進入前三名，難免沮喪，勝敗是一時的，但回憶 是永遠的 ! 吸收別人的長處，下次會更好！謝謝孩子們給了我更多的信心，也非 常感謝在背後默默陪伴及鼓勵的家長們！有你們的支持才有今天的成果！謝謝 分校主管和同事們的協助，給我很多的意見想法！經過這次比賽，英文將進一 步融入孩子的生活當中，讓說英文成為一件輕鬆愉快的事！

指導老師的話 與其說英語力大賽是一場戰況激烈的競爭，不如說是一方交流與啟發成長的心靈平台。

從最初選擇故事劇本，到最終宣佈名次的那一刻，真是太多心靈觸動的片段。從平日練習時的互

相鼓勵與督促，至賽後的相互肯定，孩子們不只是增加自信與穩健台風，更是建立起團 隊精神與強健的心智。

於公佈名次後，立刻聽到孩子們對彼此說雖然沒有得名，但能進總決賽，

我們已經很棒了 ! 以後再繼續加油就好了 ! 當下原以為孩子會承受不了打擊， 而情緒崩潰，畢竟的確付出了相當多的心力與時間呀，然而卻展現出格外成 熟的反應。孩子們，你們真是太優秀了！

經過這場活動，孩子們的心靈成長，是最教人欣慰與感動的收穫。孩子們，

老師真是太以你們為榮了！

指導老師的話 今年是我入行以來帶的第三個 ECC 團體隊伍，且幾乎都是自己班上的孩子，默契自然 不在話下，搭配很會唱跳的外師 Craig，上課氣氛一直都很活潑愉快。孩子們一直都很配 合老師的指令努力練習，我們這隊一路過關斬將來到了決賽，這對我來說意義很特別，這 是我帶的第一個晉級總決賽的隊伍。最後我們雖然沒有得名，看的出孩子們很失落，但老師 想跟你們說：你們真的都很盡力也很棒，有勇氣站上舞臺已經很了不起了，還能一路晉級決賽 真得很不容易。老師們以你們為傲，也希望你們能為自己喝采！（Tr. Amy） To express oneself through performing art has always been close to my heart and what a privilege it has been to share my love for it with six amazing, young performers.

Emily, Ling, Mia, Nana, Sean and Una, the world's stages await you. I am grateful for the support received from management and colleagues at Wen Hua branch. A special thank you to Teacher Amy for supporting our show with her creativity. (Tr. Craig)

指導老師的話 陪伴著孩子們從分校賽、區域賽，直到總決賽，這真的是一趟令人難忘的旅程。這期間，透過每

一次的練習，讓孩子們把台詞更活化成日常習慣，也看著他們從一開始的手腳不協調，直至能自信的 站上舞台，甚至晉級總決賽。對於孩子們這段時間以來的付出與努力，讓老師我真的是 非常的欣慰。這一路的練習過程，有歡笑也有淚水，從一開始的陌生與羞澀，經 由不斷磨合的過程，孩子們彼此慢慢熟悉，對於動作以及台詞也都能瞭若指掌， 他們真的是非常的認真，也都很有決心的想要贏得勝利。看著孩子們不僅僅在 跳舞與表達能力上進步許多外，英文口說的流利度也是大大的提升，最讓我 感動的是，他們對比賽的投入以及對夥伴們彼此間的加油打氣。

最後，我想真心的對我的孩子們說，你們是最棒的 ! 在我心目中，你們是

永遠的第一名。

指導老師的話 It was very difficult in the beginning to practice the play with the students because most of them are in Grade 1. They were very excited about performing, but they found it very hard to concentrate and they just wanted to play. As they progressed in the competition they improved a lot. They were open to listening to ideas from other teachers and tried their best to use the ideas. They love performing and they were always eager to practice for the competition.

They really enjoy singing and dancing and were very quick to learn the songs for the performance. They tried to pretend that they didn't care about winning, but I could see how much they wanted to win. They even asked me if they would still get a medal even if they didn't win.

指導老師的話 The HESS English Competence Competition creates an excellent opportunity for children to develop and grow their skills while simultaneously showing all that they have already learned. The passion, commitment and determination shown by each and every student in our Mini-Musical team filled all of our hearts with joy and encouragement. What a wonder to be able to inspire children to reach for their dreams with all of their might! (Scott) To me, ECC has been a competition that embodies the close connections among teachers, students and parents. Not only did the students put a lot of effort into practicing their lines, improving their pronunciation and learning how to become actors, but also the parents with their support and the teachers with script writing and dance choreography. The whole process of ECC is like a magical journey serving as a unique way to show children how interesting learning English can be. Therefore, whether or not we've received a prize on stage, we know that we have already been given the ultimate award. (Ethan)

指導老師的話 Five months. Five students. This group had lots of energy and it was wonderful to see how they grew throughout the competition. Everyone who was involved supported and contributed to the students and their performance. We could see how they all came together and improved every time they practiced. Teacher Claire was fabulous in getting the students ready for their performance and connecting with them. There is a lot of hard work to do and there are challenges, but it was really fun to be a part of this. It's not only a memorable experience for the teachers, but also the students and I hope they will remember this one. (Joseph) 進公司一年多協助過不少活動，但是獨自帶隊比賽還是第一次，很謝謝同事們 熱情的幫助與給予意見。更覺得榮幸與感動的是孩子們的成長，看著他們從毫無頭緒、 害羞、彆扭到展現自信、大放異彩。沒有想過我們這組初生之犢能過關斬將到總決賽， 過程中學習了很多，與外師同事還有孩子們的關係也更加親密、熟悉，儘管後來沒有得到名次，不過 這次的旅程將會成為孩子們成長過程中驕傲美好的回憶。（Claire）

指導老師的話 It is always a wonderful experience to be a part of ECC Mini Musical. It was quite unique this year because we had two teams advance. Everyone involved was very supportive and contributed to the students doing their best. Teacher Alger did an outstanding job to get these students prepared for their performance and getting them really involved in their story. This process takes around five months and it takes a lot of hard work to make it come together. In this process, we get a chance to see how the students respond, learn and grow. This group of students was very excited and motivated for the competition from lesson one. Even though they might have felt disappointment for not getting into the top three, they can be proud of what they accomplished from day one. Everyone is proud of them and they can learn from this experience. (Joseph) 看著孩子在台上的自信展現，就是擔任指導老師最棒的回饋，無論此次有無得名，在這過程中， 讓每位孩子相信自己做的是最好且獨一無二！同時藉由此次的活動看到自己與看到別人！感謝我的這 群寶貝學生們，也謝謝學生們的家長，讓我們團隊充滿著團結和諧的氣氛！感恩，感謝！（Alger）

指導老師的話 Leading our Mini-Musical class has been an exciting journey! It is amazing to see each and every student building their confidence and friendships through teamwork and hard work. Can you imagine what it must feel like to perform in your non-native language in front of so many? It takes a lot of courage to even step up onto the big stage, let alone perform on live-stream with hundreds of people watching. The Mini-Musical is not just about being the best, it is about being the best you can be and showing the world how hard you have tried. Each time I have been involved in MiniMusical the excitement feels just like the first time.

指導老師的話 In the beginning, it is always a challenge to put a musical together, getting to know the students and what they're good at. We worked closely as a team to create a musical that will not only be fun for us but fun for the students, too. It was an absolute privilege to have worked with such creative and talented young students. Each one of them worked so hard and they had a lot of fun. They learned how to work together as a group but they also learned how to perform as individuals. We are so proud of what they have accomplished.
