Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2023 HESS International Annual English Competence Competition. It was amazing to see many outstanding performances and I was very proud of all of you.

All the students had to practice extremely hard for the competition. We are thankful for the hardworking teachers who helped the students during this time. Also, I would like to say a big thank you to the parents who supported their children and believe in HESS.

The competition is just one format of an activity, the most important thing is that we see the students passion for learning and enable them to do the best they can. It also brings back the love of teaching for the teachers. We believe that this is the foundation of teaching. Keep the faith and we will continue to strive for excellence.

感謝大家，共同成就了2023年第十一屆何嘉仁國際英語力大賽。看到所有學員們精采的表現，除 了感到欣慰之外，我更以大家為榮。

每位學生的表現都讓我們感到驕傲，看到他們一個個自信地站在舞台上表達，相信背後都是經過許

多的努力與練習;

比賽只是一個形式，重要的是我們看見孩子在過程中點燃對學習的熱情，為孩子的學習之路開啟正 向循環，看見孩子勇於「挑戰最好的自己」，也鼓舞了老師重拾教學的初心，相信這也就是所謂的 「教學相長」的真諦。

讓我們持續秉持這樣的信念，一起追求精采與卓越！

第十一屆何嘉仁國際英語力大賽簡介 2023 HESS International Annual English Competence Competition

培養全方位英語力 Develop excellent, comprehensive English skills

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！

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.

英文演說比賽 Speech Competition

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。

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.

英文演說比賽 A組 Speech Competition A

此階段有三個主題，自然、科技、生活。每個主題各有兩個議題，總共為六個議題。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。

Students will be given a list of nine statements – two about the environment, two about technology, and two 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.

英文演說比賽 B組Speech Competition B

今年的演說主題是A New Holiday。 學生以此發揮創意和思考力，創造一個新的節日，並且是可以讓人們每一天都 需要慶祝的節日! 他們需要在內容中描述這節日是為了慶祝什麼，而為什麼它如此重要，以及人們都會做些什麼來慶 祝或紀念這一天!

This year's topic will be "A New Holiday". Students need to come up with a new holiday for people to celebrate each year. They will need to talk about what the holiday celebrates, why it would be important, and what people will do to celebrate the day.

英文配音比賽 Voiceover Competition

透過角色揣摩培養學員發音、語調、情緒等應用技巧，並提升英口語表達能力。

Voiceover competition gives students the opportunity to practice pronunciation, intonation, emotion expression techniques with their voice. Hence develop a better oral ability.

Our Tests Need to Change

我很謝謝評審老師能給與我這個特別的肯定，還記得 之前，我在臺下聽姊姊演講，回家後我跟媽媽說，我 想把我的照片貼在那個大布條，可是媽媽說那要全國 第一才能被貼上去。我完全沒有想過，我說的話竟然 變成真的了！在頒獎典禮的當下，我不敢相信我的耳 朵，我真的得到第一名了！

我能得獎也要感謝一路上，幫助我的家人和師長。像 我的老師Teacher Byron，他教我如何寫講稿、動作和 語氣。也很謝謝我的家人，總是在臺下鼓勵我，和幫 我聽不知道幾百次的講稿。希望之後還有機會再繼續 參加這個活動。

我想和之後參加的學弟學妹們說：「如果緊張，絕對 不要看其他人，認真的看著評審的眼睛，緊張就會慢

慢消失了！」還有Be Your Own Super Star! 加油！

恩熙，非常恭喜妳獲得英語演說比賽的冠軍！從小害羞 膽怯的妳，每年參加何嘉仁所舉辦的歌唱、話劇、演說 比賽中慢慢訓練出的勇氣；在這次的培訓與一階一階的 比賽中，更讓妳找到了自信！也感謝這麼長時間裡何嘉 仁所有老師們的照顧與雕琢，讓孩子找到自己發光發熱 的亮點。恩熙，媽媽也希望妳能永遠記住這次訓練的過 程，唯有透過自己努力得來的果實，才是最為甘甜的滋 味。——愛你的媽媽

After nearly a decade of teaching speech and writing classes, I am more than thrilled to finally have one of our students bring the gold down the coast to Hualien! Alice and I had a very small class this year...in fact it was just her and I. I think this is one major factor that allowed Alice to really excel this year. We had plenty of time tweak her speech and make it fit her personality and interests naturally. Alice can be so soft spoken in her day-to-day life that seeing her completely break out of her mold and apply herself in such a courageous way was uplifting for everyone at our branch. I'll never forget the look of pride on her grandparents' faces or the way her big sister—who herself has competed the finals several times and has helped coach Alice—had a look of victory on her face. For all those students who feel like that could never win the Speech and Writing competition, just take Alice's example! This isn't the first time she has competed. You don't always win first on your first try. Keep improving and pushing yourself and you too have the ability to bring the gold home to your branch!

學生感言 家長感言

首先，我非常榮幸得到今年SPEECH的亞軍，在這過 程中我要感謝陪我練習的師長家人等，尤其是陪我練 習的外公，剛開始初賽我以為我進不了，結果卻意外

地進了！所以這讓我更加努力，而到複賽時，我認識 一位很好的競爭對手：Derick，我們都認為對方比較 厲害，但最後也只能取出一位選手，所以為了表示對 方表現很好，所以雙方握了手，當時我也很高興，所 以這讓我更想超越自己!同時我也要感謝支持我的同 學們，所以我認為我這頓時間的努力真是值得！雖然 下次無法再參加但我相信以後一定會有更多挑戰等著 我，所以我一定得繼續加油才能超越自己！我也希望 我的同學也能像一我樣去參加，展現自我！成為自己 的好榜樣！而我也【願意】向大家分享榮耀！

感謝何嘉仁老師們與行政團隊，從他幼稚園到美語班給 予最好的美語指導與協助，讓他這次在英文演講獲得不 錯的成績，我們除了感謝更是滿滿的感動。更要感謝 Paddy外公一路上協助，修正演講內容，一次又一次陪 伴練習與支持鼓勵。以及一堆親朋好友們默默支持，謝 謝大家。最後再次感謝何嘉仁美語教學，給了他這麼優 質又有系統的教學環境，讓他在學習的道路上一直保持 興趣，也持續進步，希望他能秉持這樣的態度與熱情， 在未來人生走出康莊大道，也祝福大家，平安健康快樂， 謝謝。

指導老師的話

Paddy, you were so enthusiastic and brought such amazing energy to each class. Your creativity and passion really shone through! You put so much work into writing your speech and you produced an excellent piece of work. I'm so pleased with how you practiced and delivered your speech. What you did was very brave and hope that you feel proud of what you have accomplished. I know that the teachers certainly are! I wish for you to carry all that you've learned through this experience into the rest of your life; and remember just how much you can achieve when you try your best. Well done, Paddy, I can't wait to see what you achieve in the future.

Joanne 張喬涵

學生感言 家長感言

Thanks all the teachers who helped me during the competition, especially Teacher Rachel. Although the process was really tiring, you still tried to give proper instructions that are good for me. This is my first time participating in this competition. During this process, you kept encouraging me and cheering for me. It is a great affirmation for me to get third place.

I believe that other contestants also put in a lot of effort to prepare for this competition. These efforts will never be in vain. The best and the most important part is not the result, but the process. Those who can enjoy the process are the real winners. Last but not least, I would like to thank HESS for giving us such a good stage to express ourselves.

相比妹妹從幼幼班就在何嘉仁已五六年，Joanne是轉 學過來的。考量除了家長集中接送更方便外，也對這個 學習環境的師資和規模充滿信心。果然在東園校中師外 師的耐心輔導下，Joanne經幾個禮拜適應期，對於上 課感覺的回應已讓爸媽感覺放心。

因妹妹之前有報名過微音樂劇，我們知道這是個需要 花時間準備，卻能有特別經驗的比賽過程，因此鼓勵 Joanne報名。特別感謝東園分校老師Rachel與教學團 隊，過程中不厭其煩給予Joanne寫作、發音、演說、 舞台呈現的指導，讓Joanne只要按表操課，就能一步 一步準備比賽。

到了總決賽，見識到很多樣的選手，或有出色的口音口 條，或有極佳的舞台風格，瞬間覺得Joanne能親身經 歷這樣的比賽，已獲得難能可貴的成長養分。最終能得 獎很出乎爸媽意料，除了謝謝評審肯定，更感謝何嘉 仁舉辦了一個這樣用心的比賽。也希望這個肯定能讓 Joanne在學習旅途更有自信迎向未來的挑戰。

指導老師的話

Joanne is a dedicated student, she doesn't need much encouragement to do anything. She is motivated to do well and is willing to put in extra effort to practice. She is very outgoing and loves to express her opinions, so writing a speech was quite easy for her. She is good at receiving feedback and will go home and practice to improve. She is great at listening and is not afraid to ask questions when she doesn't understand. She has the ability to be quite dramatic, so she is able to use different tones when speaking. She has strong opinions and loves to express them.

This competition was very good for me, because I learned a lot from this journey. I would like to thank my teachers: Tr. Faffa, Tr. Tranine, and my ESL teacher, Vivian. They helped me a lot. In the beginning, they assisted me with how to turn my thoughts into words and to form a clear argument. They also taught me how to use proper words or phrases to make the speech better.

Secondly, they gave me many chances to practice at school in front of others, so that I was getting less nervous to be on the big stage. Then, they cheered me on all the way from the branch preliminaries, to the regional semi-finals, and to the national finals. They really helped me a lot in my preparation. I would also, especially, like to thank my family because they spent a lot of time to let me perform my speech at home and provided useful advice. They always give me great support.

I was also very proud and excited when I made it through each round of the competition! I think it was a very good experience. This was my third time to join this competition, and each time I learned different tips. I will keep doing my best to improve myself in the future. Thank you!

家長感言

看到婉嫣在準備過程中，一步一步的努力和認真， 到最後於全國總決賽中表現亮眼，我們十分以她為 榮！從小舞台到大舞台，看到她每次顯著的進步， 更加自然大方也愈加自信從容，心中的感動無可言 喻。儘管台上只有短短的幾分鐘，但在背後是不斷 努力與對完美堅持的成果，我想這對孩子來說，就 是一趟有著滿滿收穫的學習旅程。最後，感謝有這 個學習活動，提供了一個很好的展現舞台，讓孩子 們能有機會展現他們的才華與努力，再次感謝！

I had a lot of fun teaching ECC this year and I am so proud of Charleen for everything she accomplished. The competition is very tough and challenging for the students, but like most things in life - your attitude can make all the difference! Charleen had a wonderful attitude all the way through the competition. She constantly pushed herself to improve and try her best. But even more importantly, she did it all with a smile on her face all the way through. I am very thankful to have had a student like her and I am also very thankful to my co-teacher, Tranine, for all her efforts. She spent A LOT of extra time (which she seldom has) practicing and perfecting Charleen's speech. It is because of her, and Charleen's, wonderful work ethic and positivity that I knew very early on that Charleen would go far. Charleen, we are very proud of you and thank you so much for all your efforts. You are the superstar of Linkou branch!

學生感言 家長感言

When I heard my name, I was kind of surprised. I didn't think I would get a prize or anything. Even though I didn't get into the top three, but I did beat lots of people along the way, and at least I got into the top five. I have to thank lots of people for getting me here, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be receiving this prize. I am really proud of myself for getting this extraordinary prize. It's not just a prize for me, it also proves that I actually learned something, and that I improved along the way. I have been trying to get into the finals before, and now I finally did. I will try to get the champion next year, wait for me!

Fay能得到這個獎，要感謝的人很多，但沒有HESS提 供的課程與學習環境，沒有Teacher Stu、 Teacher Rola 以及所有教導過她的老師的指導，單靠她自己是做不到 的。

「台上十分鐘，台下十年功」，回首11年的英文養成 路: 我們從Fay 2歲開始陪讀英文繪本，9歲自己看英文 小說，10歲開始聽CNN看美劇，以及無數母女倆在風 吹日晒雨淋中補習接送的日常。她曾怠惰、煩躁、厭倦， 最終她沒有選擇放棄，而是調整心態，直面失敗，抱著 不讓自己後悔的覺悟與必死的決心，全力以赴，最終站 上大舞台上發光發熱！

指導老師的話

We have to thank Fay and her parents for their hardwork. Fay is a curious and competitive student that we don't need to worry about her too much. We knew that she wanted to go to the finals more than anybody else. So, we spent a lot of time watching ECC competition videos over the past few years. She did most of her speech draft by herself. When she received some feedback or recommendations from other teachers, she tried her best to improve herself. At the beginning of last semester, we started to discuss the speech, and we kept revising the draft and modifying the rhythm to make the speech better and better. The most important thing is that we have to thank HESS for giving the students the stage to show themselves.

I am very glad to have been able to stand on the big stage. I really enjoyed that moment. I think HESS Speech Competition is really good, because it can allow others to have a chance to tell more people what you think. I want to say thank you to all the teachers and parents who have taught and helped me before and that my branch gave me a chance to speak bravely. My branch really supported me a lot! Just like the slogan of the ECC Competition is "be your own superstar", don't worry if you think you are bad, with confidence and the right support you can do anything; and always do your best!

Being a finalist in a speech competition is a significant achievement and a cause for celebration. June has exceeded expectations and has gotten well-deserved recognition. Making it to the finals of the speech competition is a testament to June's hard work and dedication. It shows that June has put in the effort to hone her skills and deliver a compelling speech. By June being in the ECC, she has had a very big confidence boost. Competing in a speech competition can be nerve-wracking, this has helped her realize that she has the ability to deliver a powerful speech and that her efforts over the last 6 months have paid off. There was a deep sense of learning opportunity as all the students can observe other finalists and learn from their techniques and styles. Additionally, the feedback from the judges helped in identifying areas for improvement and refine each of their skills further. Overall, being a finalist in ECC is a significant accomplishment, and as a teacher I am so proud of each and every students' achievements.

學生感言 指導老師的話

Without teachers Andy, Donna, Amy, Phiny, I wouldn't have this chance to stand on the stage of HESS International Annual English Competence Competition. I'm very grateful to the teachers who taught me, also I'm very thankful to my mom, because she always helps me to practice my English. From the class preliminaries to regional competitions to national finals, I get help form teachers a lot. When in the class preliminaries, I have questions with my speech, but under the guidance of the teachers, I overcome this difficulty. When I overcome this difficulty, I can beat my opponents in the regional competition. Although I didn't get the top 3 glory in the final nationals finals, I did my best, so I'm not discouraged.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

It was awesome to see a first-time contestant make it to the finals. I am so proud of what Andrew has accomplished. I feel honored by his dedication, work ethic, and willingness to try. It was amazing watching him hone his skills, edit draft after draft with determination. In the end, he was able to achieve his goal of speaking in front of a large crowd but ultimately, had a lot of fun along the way. I am humbled by the HESS organization and truly appreciate the opportunity given to both Andrew and I to partake in such an incredible event. Thank you.

很榮幸第一次參與HECC指導老師的工作便能帶領東 湖校的Andrew進入全國賽，Andrew本身條件優秀 加上非常認真努力，中外師和他合作都感到相當有 趣融洽，雖然未能拔得頭籌，但以第一次比賽的成果 而言，已是相當滿意。在指導孩子的過程中，看見孩 子從選題、撰稿、校正到背誦，調整自己的發音和語調， 至最後練習的看圖說故事，很驚奇地感受到孩子吸收及進步的快速這次 指導更像是和孩子一起成長的旅程，非常開心能與Andrew一起擁有這 次的經歷。

表現卓越獎

ECC was a great experience, because it was challenging, but I had a lot of fun. I remember the first time I went to ECC. I didn't know what to expect, but I learned to write a speech and be brave. I started to learn what I should do onstage and where I should look. I also think when I have ECC class, I feel happy because I can be proud of myself. Sometimes, I still feel embarrassed on the stage, so I know I still have to practice more. Practice makes perfect, right? In conclusion? I really like ECC because I can learn a lot of things and I hope I can do more stuff like this!

ECC is a wonderful experience for teachers and students alike. I watched Lucas work tirelessly month after month from when he was trying to get his ideas on paper to working on intonation, inflection, and actions. It was not his first time joining the conception, so I've had the honor of watching his proficiency blossom over the years and I'm very proud of his progress. I think it was also an excellent opportunity for him to get to hear everyone else's speeches and be exposed to other kids who share his passion and dedication as well as new ideas. ECC definitely pushed my teaching skills to a whole new level and I'm grateful for the experience.

I wanted to say thank you to the teacher that helped me on my speech, Teacher Matt, Teacher Renee, Teacher Dan and Teacher Manny. I also wanted to say thank you to my mom, my dad, and my brother. Thank you for supporting me when I joined the event. I didn't get the award that I wanted, but I tried my best. I think all of the contestants in speech A were really good and I learned a lot from them! Everyone was trying their best to prepare for the competition and it was great fun to watch the it. Thank you for giving me a wonderful experience.

Congratulations to Charles for completing your speeches. Over the last couple of months, I saw how much time you all put into practicing and how much effort you put into writing your speeches. Regardless of the results, I'm extremely proud of all of you! I know how nerve-wracking it can be to perform in front of that many people. Yet, no matter how nervous everyone felt, no one quit and no matter how many mistakes you made whilst performing your speeches, no one gave up. Great job everyone and to those continuing on to the next round, good luck!

I am really happy that I had an opportunity to participate in the English speech competition this time. This is my third time to participate in this competition. I'm glad that I improved each time. I enjoyed being on the stage a lot. I want to thank Tr. Daniel for helping me with the speech writing, Tr. Veronica for training the competition, my mom for encouraging me to participate in the competition. I learned a lot from the training, it was very fun and full of challenge. Finally, I wanted to thank administrative teachers from Zhuang Jing Branch to see my final competition. This is my last year at HESS, the good memory of the speech contest will always be in my mind.

Ann looks forward to the speech competition every year. She is a very hard working and diligent student who takes her studies very seriously. If you want to know more about Ann, listening to her speeches is a great place to start. Every speech she has written embodies her work ethic and unique sense of self. She always wants to do the very best she can and looks for help everywhere she can. She is intensely honest and tells you exactly what she thinks, both in class and in her speeches. I am happy that Ann has continued with speech class and has improved every year.

Thank you T. Nick and T. Cara for teaching me how to improve my writing in class as well as instructing me on how I can better express my intonation, gestures and facial expressions. I have always found the most help and guidance from you both. Although I did not win the finals in the end, I learned the most precious things from my teachers. I would also like to thank the Taoyuan judges who had supported me to enter the finals; thank you!

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE 表現卓越獎

Angela, congratulations on making it this far! Once again, you have shown Teacher Cara, Teacher Brenda, and Teacher Nick that you are a talented and passionate English learner. Your curiosity, enthusiasm, and determination have led you to this moment, and we are sure many more triumphs in your future. Savor this success: you have certainly earned it! It has been a joy watching the progress you have made to become an independent speaker, able to navigate a second language easily. Your ability to mold and shape English to create interesting stories is incredibly special, and worth cultivating. If you hold onto what you have achieved so far and continue to push ahead with your English learning, we have no doubt that you will do great things. Take heart, don't give up, and you will go far! From Teacher Nick and Teacher Cara.

I am very happy in this year's English speech contest, because I didn't make it to the finals last year, but this year I made it. I think it is a good experience to me. It is cool to stand on a really big stage, when I was standing on the stage the feeling was so special and interesting. When I was having the contest, I enjoyed the moment. Even I had some wrong words, but I did my best. I would also like to say thanks to my teachers and family, especially my grandpa. My teachers taught me how to write my speech, and my grandpa told me how to act it out. It's pity that I wasn't awarded this year. So I will challenge again and again until I win.

Una, I am so proud of you and your big achievement! Watching you grow, learn and gain so much confidence since the first time we did speech competition together has been an absolute pleasure for me. I know that you will continue to improve every year because you always work so hard, and you inspire others around you to also work hard. What I enjoy most is your excellent imagination. You have the ability to tell the funniest and most unexpected stories. It was always so funny in the class and you constantly entertained us with your stories. You are not only a hard-working student, but also a sweet, helpful and energetic girl. The way you helped your fellow classmates shows just what an extraordinary student you are. You did so great, and you should be so proud of yourself too! Keep working hard!

學生感言 指導老師的話

It is always a pleasure to attend meaningful event like this,theECC speech form HESS, where I can experience wonderful moments as a result. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those who supported me during the practice and my performance. It is my third participation in this activity, and it's also the most memorable one because I finally made it into the final competition for the first time ever. Despite not winning any prize at the final competition, it was still a wonderful experience. The assistance of my parents and a variety of teachers has enabled me to achieve more than Iever imaginad. Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in next year's competition. Perhaps my topic, "We Need to Change the Way Students Are Tested" can provide further insight into this matter. Once again, I would like to thank my parents and teachers for their assistance.

今年是Chen-chen參加的第三次，終於晉 級到台北場！在訓練過程中，看見了Chenchen的堅持和努力不懈的學習態度，讓老師們 及家長感到非常的驕傲。過程帶給我們非常棒的經驗，孩子能 從中獲得成就感並且享受這個舞台，這是我們樂於看見的。Be your own superstar這句話真的非常適合每位努力的孩子，在 未來的學習過程中，必定會有不同的挑戰，期望Chen-chen 也能突破，讓自己成為自己心目中的superstar。（中師）

I would like to extend my gratitude toward Chen-chen's gracious efforts in learning. This is a great time of year for me to express my appreciation for the stern attitude that you have toward studying well and being positive.

I recognize that teaching English writing is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With your unparalleled intelligence, I cannot imagine what your future will be like. It's great to have you as a student.

It is an honor to have a student like you in my class. My sincere wishes for the success of your future endeavors are expressed through this message, which I would like to share with you. I wish you all the joy and blessing as you move forward in your life. Thank you so much. (Peter)

Pizza Day

I wanted to join the speech competition because it sounded fun. I would like to thank my mom, my dad, Teacher Graeme, and Teacher Anthony for all the help with the training and practice. They helped me with memorizing the text, eye contact, intonation, and actions. My dad wanted me to participate in the speech competition because he did it when he was young. He knew how to prepare for it. I'm actually pretty surprised to see that I received first place the first time I tried. This experience has helped to improve my English and has given me the motivation to participate in Speech A when I am old enough.

What did we feel when Max won the speech contest? To say we were happy would be an understatement! The competition was extremely tough; there were lots and lots of well-written, fun, creative, energetic, and engaging performances. Of course, we knew Max's speech was very strong, too. He spent a lot of time working on it, practicing all little aspects that make up a good performance -- so we did hope to win some award :) But when they announced the winner, we honestly couldn't believe it actually happened! That was a magical moment. I felt ecstatic, proud of Max, and honored by the recognition we received from the judges. At the same time, I understand -- this was a team effort, so I am extremely grateful to all of Max's teachers in HESS -- Teacher Gloria, Teacher Peggy, Teacher Anthony, and especially to Teacher Graeme, who worked so hard with Max. Without you, this would not be possible. Thank you so much!

Congratulations, Max, for your impressive achievement in winning first prize in the ECC speech competition! It's a testament to your hard work, dedication, and talent. Max's victory in the competition is a proud moment for both him and myself. It shows that he possesses excellent public speaking skills, is able to articulate his thoughts clearly, and have a confident presence on stage. Winning first prize in a speech competition is not an easy feat and requires a lot of preparation and practice. The experience of participating in the competition and winning first prize will undoubtedly have a positive impact on Max's personal growth and development. It will boost his self-confidence, improve his communication skills, and open up new opportunities for him in the future.

I was very glad to win the third place. My father encouraged me a lot. When I took part in the class first, I didn't enjoy it much. I found that I had to write an essay by myself. But my teacher helped me a lot and it made me enjoy the class much more. My dad also taught me how to do the actions and movements. After practicing many times, I showed my teachers and they loved it so much. I told myself to just enjoy it. I didn't think that I would win. So, when I got third place, it was a really big surprise! I appreciated all of the judges and teachers! Thank you!

Thanks to HESS for organizing such a great event and giving all children the opportunity to challenge themselves. I would like to extend my gratitude to Teacher Roelien, Larry, Adam, Oliver, Ann, Amber, and all of the teachers at Shi Jian branch (No.1 team in Banqiao) for their help, as well as to Frank, Tina, and Ryan for sharing their valuable experiences. Every child is a diamond in the rough, and all we can do is polish them and make them sparkle. Let's all echo the sentiment to "Be Your Own Superstar". Nina has also grown a lot, from being hesitant to get involved to developing the confidence to enjoy such a great show over the past five months. I would like to give a big hand to thank all the HESS teachers and every child for their hard work. This prize reminds us that no matter where we come from, our dreams are valid.

It has been such a pleasure being a part of the ECC competition again this year. Like every year we give our students the opportunity to take part in this amazing competition and develop their public speaking skills. And just like every year I am surprised by the talent of our students! This year Nina completely blew me away! She was hard working from the start and very determined to make it to the Finals. Together, we worked hard and put a lot of time and effort into making her speech perfect. My advice to her was not to focus on winning but to rather learn something from this experience and to have fun whilst doing so. And, if a win were to be in the cards, it would be an added bonus! She had such a great team supporting her, from her teachers to her parents, friends and classmates! We are incredibly proud of everything she has achieved and hope that she continues to challenge herself! We love you, Nina!!!

At first, I was excited and nervous for the competition since all contestants come from all regions of Taiwan. The competition started, the contestants in speech A were all excellent! But when it was my turn in speech B, my heart was racing. I tried to do as best as I could. When I finished speaking my speech, most of the audience clapped for me. Then, l went to another building to do the picture prose competition. Luckily, the picture wasn't hard. l thought that l spoke very well. I was pretty confident about the competition, but l still hoped that l could have gotten up to the top three. Then all the contestants got a golden medal. The host said that we got this medal because of the excellent performance. For the final score, I got the Best Pronunciation Award which meant that there was still room for improvement. After all, in the process of achieving the goal I wanted, it was inevitable that there will be some setbacks. So as long as l work harder, l will surely achieve my goal. Now, l am ready to move to the next level, speech A!

感謝何嘉仁舉辦英語力大賽，讓Oliver 有機會站在 這個舞台自信的展現出他對英文的熱愛，看著他在 台上閃閃發亮的眼神，這幾個月來的努力，都值得 了！

Oliver從小就很喜歡英文，也很勇於表達對英文的 熱情，這次比賽讓我們看到Oliver的成長，願意 放棄玩樂、休息時間，期待上課和老師同學一起討 論講稿，下課還會和家人分享今天的進度。 謝謝何嘉仁重新分校的老師們對Oliver的包容和用 心指導，每一次的練習都給予寶貴的建議，何嘉仁 是個很棒的學習環境，相信在未來的學習道路上， 會愈來愈好。

家長感言 指導老師的話

Oliver's speech journey started far before this year's competition, and it has taken him a huge amount of dedication to get where he is today. He was relentless in his practice, and was loyal to the cause. He wanted that victory and yearned to push himself to new limits whether that was on stage or with new English proficiency. Oliver rehearsed at every opportunity, and when he was given new advice, he would be open to it and strive to do better. His award proved testament to his effort that he put in this year, and I believe he will be back stronger next year.

學生感言 家長感言

I like English, that is very fun. I like English, because there are lots of fun things to do. I like speech, too.

After school, I read English books, watch English YouTube videos and talking with my family in English.

I enjoy to do the more English games with my sister, like hide and seek, Easter egg hunt and trick or treat. I'm really happy that I got the Outstanding Expression Award, The more English I learn the better I get. This is a very fun experience for me, this was really fun. Thank you HESS, thank you teachers, thank you everyone !

感謝何嘉仁舉辦的演講比賽活動，還有老師們的協助， 讓這次Kimberley完成了一次難以忘記的旅程，這是她 人生值得紀念懷念的一刻，學習英文最重要的是啟發興 趣與熱忱，平常在家裡，我會儘量跟Kimberley說英文， 看電視、玩遊戲也都是以英文為主，Kimberley 還有自 己的頻道。最後，我認為，演講不只是一項工具也是一 個藝術，好的演講可以改變人的想法進而改變世界，讓 世界更美好，如果你相信你可以，你一定做得到。

指導老師的話

Kimberley在HESS學習歷程已4年多，從她一年級進 HESS開始，她就是一個喜歡用英文表達的學生，她樂 於學習和閱讀，當然培養她的爸爸媽媽自然是功不可 沒。當她站總決賽的舞台自然而然的表達她的想法，在 那時刻，我的內心相當感動！平常努力的練習，一次又 一次的調整發音、語調與動作，她的努力也獲得了肯定。 她英文學習的旅程中，她又更加邁進了一步也更上了一 層樓。明年Kimberley說要挑戰高級數的演說比賽，我 相信她一定可以做到！加油！Kimberley你真的很棒！

SPEECH Competition

I want to take this moment to thank you all for everything that you have done. Thank you for giving me the courage to stand on stage and speak my thoughts. First, I would like to thank the teachers for teaching me everything from picture prose to the speech itself. I would also like to thank the other finalists, for allowing me to share the stage with you in the last round. I'm really grateful to have had this opportunity and I have grown so much in confidence and I'm excited to try again for the finals next time!

Bubu along with the many other students who made it to the ECC finals have a lot to be proud of in themselves regardless of if they got the top prize or not. Making it to the finals alone shows the hard work and dedication that Bubu put forth to achieve something that many individuals including myself find very difficult to do and that is "Public Speaking." Not only did he speak in front of many strangers, but he spoke to them in a 2nd language. Competing in a speech competition such as the ECC can be a scary experience, especially when you are not competing in your native tongue. This competition has given Bubu the realization that if you work hard and stay focused, anything is possible. I feel that Bubu has gained a lot of from this entire ECC experience over the last 6 months. He has built his confidence, gained valuable constructive criticism and learned how to do it better next time from observing his peers. Overall, rather Bubu claimed the top prize or not, making it to the ECC finals was a very big accomplishment for him. I am very proud of his effort to stick with it and not give up.

從TH5起，在老師們的鼓勵下，第一次參加何嘉仁 Speech競賽，萬萬也沒有想到，隔年，自己有機會站 在全國賽舞台上與各地好手一同競技。

去年比賽，我就止步在複賽，老實說真的有一些不捨 及落寞。畢竟從無到有多麼希望能夠闖進決賽站在那 個大型舞台上阿! 然而，今年我就下定決心，一定要 打到全國賽才肯罷休!

大家的起點其實都差不多，都是從無到有、努力創造 出來的。期間接收到師長與父母親的幫忙才能闖進決 賽。話說台上一分鐘，台下十年功。台上就那麼一次， 短短5分鐘，根本無法和練習時的時數相比較，換個 角度想，這幾個月來努力的練習換到這麼多英語演講 經驗，在未來一定大有幫助!也感謝何嘉仁給我這個 機會站上全國賽的舞台，又重新改寫我的人生新頁！

今年是我第二次參加何嘉仁的英語演說比賽了！還記 得第一次參加時並未進入到複賽，沒想到今年竟然一 路從分校賽、區域賽，一直進到總決賽，真是出乎我

意料！雖然在二年級時也曾進入到總決賽，但那時是 團體賽，而這次只有我一個人，所以特別的緊張。一

開始我和其他的選手一樣，先坐在椅子上聆聽演說， 當輪到我前一位選手上台時，突然覺得時間過得真快 啊！上台演講時因為燈光的關係，只看得見評審，如 果我看的到觀眾，甚至是家人或老師可能會更緊張。

最後雖然沒有得名，但是透過這次的比賽，學習到更 多東西，也因為充分的練習以及老師的輔導，讓我的 英文又更進一步了！等到明年，我一定還會再來參加 比賽，繼續學習更多的知識！

很開心這次能陪著Esther

在演講比賽中一路過關斬 將，一直到全國總決賽。對我們來說這真的是一段美 妙且值得回憶的學習過程。回想當初在報名時，因這 是Esther第二次參賽，所以給自己的目標必定比去年 更高。這幾個月以來，除了用心準備每次的練習，更 投入無比的熱情才能堅持到最後一刻。無論比賽的輸 贏，孩子已經展現最棒的自己。參加一次比賽的機會 人人都有，但是要連續參加好多次的勇氣卻不是每個 人都有。我們從經驗中學習及成長，也期許Esther繼 續努力成為更好的小小演說家！

Crazy Learning Days

Hi, I'm Lesley, Grade 3 student, and I'm studying in ESL6 of HESS ESL Program. I really have a wonderful time with every English lesson and I can bring it to my own life.

Back at the age of two, I started to sing English lullabies whenever I had a hard time falling asleep at night. Now I keep working on my study journey and grow up to a higher level in English compared to my school classmates. I would like to share one of my favorite books with you. It is "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", written by Laura Numeroff. Because it is so interesting and it can help me figure out unique ideas. This is why I popped out the topic, "Crazy Learning Days" for the theme.

Finally, I want to thank all the teachers from Windance Branch, Tr. Emerald, Tr. Ray, Tr. Nini, Tr. Jenna, and Tr. Nastassja who have given me many chances to learn, experience, dream and succeed that made good things happen in the HESS international English competence championship, 2023. And I also get lots of inspiring words from my dear mom and grandparents. Thanks to my family. I am hoping that I can try my best to develop English speaking potential in the future.

Lesley has a great attitude and was a joy to teach in speech class. She sees life in an interesting way and really likes talking about it. During class she got right to work on her speech and was always positive when it came time to practice. She never shied away from her work in class. It was wonderful to see her improve each and every class.

I feel nervous and confused when I decided to join this competition. My teachers believed that I could do well. I still remembered that I was too nervous and cried in my first speech lesson. Although I was nervous, I still tried my best, just like my teachers said. After we finished the speech lessons, we started practicing. We spent a lot of time on it and I really enjoyed it, even though it was tiring. This is the first time I join English speech competition and I am so proud of myself that I didn't give up. I will join the competition again next year. I know I can do better, so I won't give up!

ECC is such a wonderful platform not only for the students but also for me. It pushed us to reach a higher level! Kim is a great and creative student. For these days, she practiced a lot and tried so hard. I can see how well she improved from the beginning to the end. Teachers at our branch also offered their support to the students. Without their support, we couldn't make it as far as we had. It was an unforgettable experience, and I hope all the students can take the lessons that we've learned and put them to good use in the future. Kim has an ambitious heart and a creative mind. I truly believe that she has a lot of potential in the future. Keep going, Kim!

It was a pleasure to participate in the speech competition, it taught me a lot. Such as how to look at the judges and smile, and some presentation skills to keep the judges from falling asleep. Although I practiced many times, I couldn't get the top three after all,just a little sad.And I want to thank to the teachers who helped me for training my speech,so I can learn more about speech.I can also use the English's speech skill on Chinese's speech,so I can express more powerful and brave.I think I'm lucky to let Teacher Julie Jo give me some opinion,and I can do my speech better.

My student did an excellent job during this competition. I'm sure it felt rewarding to see how far he has come and what he achieved for all his hard work. I would like to thank everyone involved for their contribution. The competition served as a platform for all the students to illustrate unique skills that don't get tested that often. It also helped creative minds from all over Taiwan come together and express themselves. I believe a competition like this inspires confidence, authenticity and most of all a sense of achievement. Let's see if we can improve and try to do even better next year.

This year's competition was quite the challenge for us, especially since it was our first time preparing students for the voiceover competition. Our students worked really hard from beginning to end. They were determined and focused. We feel that the connection that they built with the plots of the stories really contributed to its success. From the start, the kids really loved the characters and were extremely satisfied with their roles. This gave them the ability to connect, and give their full energy. I'm so proud of them!

THIRD PLACE WINNER

指導老師的話

「老師，贏了之後要去吃什麼？老師，贏了的話要擺什麼Pose？」 比賽前夕我最常聽到的就是這幾句。八字都還沒一撇，就開始想著 自己贏了，這些傢伙也太自信了吧？事後想想這應該也是這個年 紀的孩子們掩飾自己緊張的方式吧。Sophie, Eric, Max三人在整個

Voiceover裡面是較年長的孩子，在跟我的外師朋友聊天時，常常會 聽到說我們的孩子年紀那麼大，太犯規了。我不以為然，這個年紀的 孩子，發音一定比較漂亮，能理解老師想要他們如何表達角色的情 緒，不過比起年紀小的孩子，他們也有更多偶像包袱，比較放不開， 對於自己的失誤耿耿於懷。從訓練的開始我就說過，輸贏放一邊，重 要的是不要後悔，後悔自己沒有再認真練習一點。一路上的磨練讓他 們心理上成長了許多，我以他們為榮。

My thoughts on Voice Over competition are over all very positive. I am very proud with how hard the students worked. They were all very willing to accept new ideas and keep on practicing even when they felt tired or bored with the same rehearsal and lines repeated over and over again. Having something to work towards felt good as well and this competition really was motivating for me as well because it made me more aware of small speaking errors that are often overlooked. The five students all did their best and honestly took the loss pretty well all things considered, especially since this was a speaking competition and not like a sports competition. The video's selected were fine, gave plenty of creativity with what sound effects could be used and speed and fluency required to pull off the acting in a convincing manner.

當然也要感謝家長們的支持與鼓勵，使得孩子們更有信心站在舞台上 表現自己。藉著這個舞台，孩子們精準地模仿各個角色，發揮創意， 製造影片中的各類音效。這樣的挑戰，除了讓孩子們透過有趣的方式 精熟發音和語調，進而提升口語表達能力，同時也培養孩子們的自信 心和團隊精神。

從初賽到複賽，再到全國總決賽，重重的關卡都通過。雖然很可惜沒 有拿走獎盃，但沒關係，「勝不驕，敗不餒」，失敗才是需要學習的 過程，你們的努力我們都看的到，學府幼校以你們為榮，你們都是我 們心中的第一名。

Their performance is not only a testament to their individual commitment and perseverance, but also to every teacher that has taught them throughout their journey at HESS. Through our ADE Preschool and AESL language programs, every one of their teachers has played a significant role in gaining this amazing result, and are as equally proud of them as Jenny and I are. Going forward, we have no doubt that this experience will continue to hold tremendous value, as they grow and develop both as English speakers, as children, and beyond.

To perform in front of a group of people is nerve-wracking, but you did it fearlessly! You put on your best show! You did not leave anything in the classroom when you walked on that stage! I couldn't be more proud of you! In my opinion, you're the winner! You're all winners, just for trying to win! Great job! In addition, a big thank you to T. Carine, T. Renee, T. Betty for dedicating their time to helping the kids!

非常開心且榮幸今年可以帶著ESL4的學生們參加3/18的全國總決 賽，在孩子們一次次練習的過程中，可以感受到大家對於英文配音這 項競賽的熱忱與喜愛，尤其是這次的配音大賽是一項需要大家合作並 培養默契的活動。

在這幾個月的練習過程中，孩子們需要不斷練習各種不同的音調與特 效，且同時需要學習與自己的隊友協調音量，培養團隊默契學習彼此 配合對於孩子們而言是最大的挑戰！孩子們這幾個月的付出與努力也 令我與外師十分感動！希望經過這次的比賽，孩子們可以更享受學習 英文的樂趣！

指導老師的話

很榮幸有這個機會可以和學生們一起參與這次的比賽。一開始看到五 部非常難的影片，差點就要放棄這件事。是這群孩子們堅毅向學的態 度才讓我下定決心好好的將影片抽絲剝繭，把細節告訴他們，透過自 己的方法將特別的聲音在眾人面前演繹出來。過程十分艱難，我們咬 牙克服許多時間與場地的限制。我總是和孩子們說：「面對比賽，我 們不能貪心或是抱著太大期望，因為總會遇到比自己更努力，更厲害 的人！與其當一個選手，不如當一個實習生，去體驗、學習、欣賞、 接納與讚美。」這群孩子們也是跟著我，懵懂卻積極練習、謙虛學 習。終於，我們很幸運的一路過關斬將到全國賽，謝謝五位辛苦的孩 子們，更感謝在背後永遠支持我們的家長。我們一起在同個時間層裡 完成了一項不可能的任務，留下共同美好的回 憶，站上最閃耀的舞台，在我的心中你們永

遠是我的第一名！

指導老師的話

Dear ECC students, I am so proud of you. The end results don't matter, I am proud of the process that led you to becoming winners. You all worked really hard to master new skills. You experienced discomfort, but you worked through the pain, and that has transformed you. You are now better students than before because you accepted a challenge and you learned how to succeed. You learned to work together, to trust each other, and to develop creative thoughts. I hope you will look back on this competition and realize that it was your stepping stone into something great, something incredible, something beyond your wildest dreams. You acquired the skills and the confidence, now take on the world.

指導老師的話

When I first came aboard the little ship I had no idea where we were headed. I looked around at the curious individuals that were to make up the crew. They looked at me. Their eyes seemed to ask, "Where are we going Captain?" I felt like a pretender. I had never taught a Voiceover Class before. But what a voyage it turned out to be. That crew set sail as strangers and arrived as a crack team of Voiceover buccaneers! They shared an exhilarating creative adventure. They discovered new friendships. They uncovered new capacities for expression in English. They became a team. When I stepped off that little ship I, too, had made some discoveries. I realized that I would miss my crew. I realized that perhaps I was no longer a pretender but had, become a captain. But it was too late. They no longer needed me.

I never thought I will have this chance to accept the award. I still remember after teaching first lesson, one of the students told me that she hates voiceover. I felt really upset when I heard that. They were getting better and better after every practice. I know it's not easy for the young kids to talk so quick like native speakers. But, they did it.

I really appreciate the kids make efforts to do their best. They give teacher and themselves a chance to challenge the world and a different way to learn English.

Dear Andrea, Mandy, Zoe, Paul, and Linden, I just want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your dedication and hard work in attending the ECC voiceover competition and practice sessions for almost half a year. Your commitment to improving yourself and supporting one another is truly inspiring.

I appreciate all the effort and time you put into preparing for it. Your willingness to share your knowledge and experience with each other also helped create a positive and collaborative environment. Your presence and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated, and I hope that you found the experience to be rewarding and enjoyable as well. Thank you again for being so wonderful after all the practices. I learned a lot from coaching you as well. You might not be the final winner, but you guys already are the winner in my heart.
