International Students’ Chinese Writing Competition

At YCIS we pride ourselves on the strength of both our Chinese and Western curriculums and the ability of our students to become excellent and effective communicators in both languages, capable of expressing themselves in many different ways. In Chinese classes, our students read and write in different text types so that they can improve their written communication and appreciate the intricacies of the written language.
The International Students’ Chinese Writing Competition is an annual event organised by the Pudong New Area Education Committee. The competition is open to all international students in Pudong ages 7 to 17 years of age. Our School hosted the “Yew Chung Cup” International Students’ Chinese Writing Competition in 2014 and this year it was held by Ping He Bilingual School.In Secondary, this year we had three students submit their essays to the committee. We are proud to share their results:Yue (Elena) Yu from Y9: First Prize

Pok Yin (Bobby) Cheung from Y11: Second Prize

 – Ms. Tao, Elena, Bobby, Ms. Jiang
At the Awards Ceremony for the competition last Thursday, both Elena and Bobby were invited to perform on the stage. The item they played was composed by Elena and it is closely related to the topic of the essay she wrote about in her essay, her original piece is named Silent Words. This piece captures a pleasant, calm scene and describes a lazy afternoon, listening to the sounds of gentle soothing rain.
