為營造英語學(xué)習(xí)氛圍，提高學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語的積極性，近日，為期一周的蘇城外國語學(xué)校中學(xué)部Spelling Bee大賽在學(xué)校中學(xué)部藝術(shù)樓報(bào)告廳圓滿落幕。本次比賽密切聯(lián)系學(xué)生的課堂學(xué)習(xí)以及生活實(shí)際，搭建學(xué)生的展示平臺，展示學(xué)生英語拼讀能力，為學(xué)生提供發(fā)展空間。

In order to create an English learning atmosphere, and to motivate students’ English learning enthusiasm, the Spelling Bee final competition was held in the Auditorium of SCFLS Secondary School.

本次大賽分為兩個(gè)階段：

初賽以班為單位，全員參加，隨堂進(jìn)行。勝出者將進(jìn)入下個(gè)賽段的比賽。筆試的題目從各教研組提供的單詞表中抽取形成，考察單詞基本由EAP單詞及英語課詞組構(gòu)成，單詞從簡單到復(fù)雜。

There were two phases for this competition. The preliminary competition was carried out with the form of in-class quiz in each classroom. The winners would enter the next phase. The written test was based on the vocabulary bank provided by each subject group, mainly consisting of the EAP and ESL vocabulary from the basic level to the advanced level.

決賽選手由初賽晉級的50名學(xué)生組成。學(xué)生根據(jù)電子屏分組形成10組，每組5人。

There were 50 students entering the final round. They were randomly grouped into 10 different groups.

10個(gè)小組同時(shí)在15分鐘內(nèi)完成Bingo!游戲。測試紙上包括首字母提示，釋義填詞等。最終分?jǐn)?shù)以準(zhǔn)確率和時(shí)間決定，取前6組為第一輪晉級選手。

The 10 groups need to finish the Bingo Game within 15 minutes. The test has different types. The final score is determined by accuracy and time, and the top 6 groups would enter the next round. 

現(xiàn)場氣氛緊張，競爭激烈。比賽進(jìn)行不到3分鐘的時(shí)候就有一組選手答完題目。接著陸續(xù)又有幾組答完題目。此時(shí)，剩下還沒有交卷的學(xué)生顯得愈發(fā)焦慮和緊張。

The competition was quite intense. Within 3 minutes, one group had finished their test. With the next few groups finishing their tests, the rest of the groups became a bit nervous and anxious.

30人隨機(jī)分成6個(gè)小組，每組同學(xué)給到一個(gè)橡膠球，各組在得到裁判的話題紙后，本輪開始。拿到球的同學(xué)必須在5秒內(nèi)說出一個(gè)和該話題相關(guān)的詞匯，并且口頭拼寫出來，由裁判判定是否合格。如合格，則將球順時(shí)針傳到下一個(gè)同學(xué)手中。不合格的同學(xué)則離開，根據(jù)離場順序，參與選手分別獲得1、2、4、6、8分。

The 30 students are randomly divided into 6 groups. Once the competition starts, they have to say a word related to their given topics within 5 seconds. The judges would decide whether they could pass. Those who fail have to temporarily leave the stage. According to the order in which the participants leave the stage, they would receive 1,2,4,6 and 8 points respectively. 

本輪游戲異常精彩，充分顯示了學(xué)生驚人的英語詞匯量。關(guān)于Jobs、Transportation、Buildings、Outdoor sports、Countries、Animals等有關(guān)的詞匯，學(xué)生能做到脫口而出，信手拈來。

This round was exceptionally exciting, fully reflecting our students’ English vocabulary. Students could immediately say the vocabulary related to Jobs, Transportation, Buildings, Outdoor Sports, Countries, Animals, etc. without thinking.

30人分為15個(gè)小組，兩組兩組來進(jìn)行猜詞游戲，組員甲從裁判處得到詞后，用肢體動(dòng)作的形式表達(dá)詞義（不能發(fā)出聲音，不能直接用肢體動(dòng)作等方式直接比劃字母），組員乙喊出猜的詞匯，如正確則得分，不正確可以繼續(xù)作答，直到時(shí)間用盡（90秒）。分?jǐn)?shù)如下：30秒內(nèi)猜中兩位組員均得3分，60秒內(nèi)2分，90秒內(nèi)1分。

The 30 students are divided into 15 groups to play this game. Student A has to act out the vocabulary without making any sound or giving direct implications to his/her partner, and Student B has to guess the word. The total time limit is 90 seconds. Different scores will be given based on how much time the students spent in guessing the words.

或許是出于緊張，有些學(xué)生在這一輪顯得有些手足無措。當(dāng)然也不乏動(dòng)作描述十分形象準(zhǔn)確的學(xué)生。

Some of the students seemed to be in the middle of nowhere in this round due to their nervousness. Of course, we also had some students very good at this round.

第二輪兩場比賽的分?jǐn)?shù)匯總后，取排名前12的選手晉級（分?jǐn)?shù)相同的可以共同參賽），根據(jù)大屏幕上，依次出現(xiàn)的，對于同一個(gè)單詞的三個(gè)提示進(jìn)行搶答（舉旗），每條提示停留6秒鐘，如無人作答則進(jìn)入下一條提示。作答不僅需要喊出正確的發(fā)音，同樣需要拼寫正確才能得分。每個(gè)單詞最后一條提示顯示時(shí)間是20秒。根據(jù)第一，二，三條提示正確作答的選手分別可以得到5，3，2分。20個(gè)單詞之后，進(jìn)行第二輪和第三輪的分?jǐn)?shù)匯總，取分?jǐn)?shù)前三名同學(xué)為冠軍，亞軍和季軍。

The top 12 students will enter the final round based on their total scores of the first two rounds. There will be 20 words in this round. For each word, there will be 3 prompts shown on the screen.

或許是因?yàn)樽詈笠惠喎e分賽，學(xué)生在這輪里表現(xiàn)得都非常興奮。屏幕上的英文提示還沒完全顯示出來，就有很多學(xué)生沖到話筒前說出了相應(yīng)的英文單詞。此時(shí)，觀眾席上也響起了一陣又一陣熱烈的掌聲。

Students were highly motivated in this round. Many students had already reported the words even when the prompts were still incomplete, earning great applause.

集思廣益的團(tuán)隊(duì)作戰(zhàn)，高度集中的大腦運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，有限時(shí)間內(nèi)作答的緊迫感，高手云集的緊張氛圍，讓每位蘇城外中學(xué)部學(xué)子都盡最大的努力，詮釋著什么叫做“潛能無限”，這就是蘇城外人精神！

Our secondary school students all tried their best both in team work and individual work. The philosophy of “unlimited potential” is fully embodied in this competition, and this is the spirit of SCFLS.
