“Hometown” is a word full of warmth and beauty. How would you show your love for your hometown? At the final of a national English - speaking competition, contestants from all over China shared their own stories.
Wang Siqi from Nanjing International School, Jiangsu, talked about her hometown Nanjing. “I used to live in the US, and my parents kept telling me everything about Nanjing. When I came back at age 9, I felt even closer to this city. Tasting its foods and hanging around in its universities, I was like a child who had missed her mum for too long,” said Wang. “The competition gave me a great chance to show my love for Nanjing.”
Lan Yunjie, 15, from Shanghai Starriver Bilingual School, tried to change people's stereotypes(刻板印象) about his hometown, Shanghai. “When talking about Shanghai, many people would think of words like ‘fast - paced(快节奏的)’ and ‘indifferent(冷漠的)’, but in fact, it's a city full of kindness. I want to show others a different side of Shanghai, so I told stories of how people helped each other during Shanghai's lockdown,” said Lan. “I believe this is the power of public speaking,” Lan added. “By using logic and emotion, you can better share your opinions, promoting(增进) understanding and removing prejudice(消除偏见).”
Yang Zihan, 14, born in Hong Kong, she mainly lives in Shenzhen. “Unlike other people who are so familiar with their hometown, my hometown is a ‘stranger’ to me. But thanks to the competition, I did a lot of research about Hong Kong and found out about its sad colonial(殖民地的) history and the local people's brave fight. That spirit of patriotism has become the most valuable thing my hometown gives to me, and I'm glad to share it with everyone,” said Yang.
