I am glad to participate in the Spelling Bee group competition. I didn’t think that we would go this far to the elimination. I would like to give extra thanks to my teammates for working hard together. I was disappointed when we are eliminated because I really wanted a spot in the semifinal or even the grand finale. My feeling went through ups and downs, but I still had fun and really enjoyed our journey together. I personally liked the feeling of we might make it into the finals when we got into the elimination. For next time I would make sure to study very well and I hope we can get even further down our journey.

This year’s ITSO is a very exciting one. At first, I am nervous not only because of the first time participating in ITSO, but also because I am responsible for the language of origin. We all know that language of origin is very hard, but I am prepared. After 3 wins and 1 even, I earned our team a lot of chances. However, my teammates are also very good, without them we probably cannot even make it to the semifinals. Next time, I will do better, and I hope I can participate again and do my best.

I was nervous on the first day of the Spelling Bee. When I first saw the first contestant up at speed spell he spelt 20 words in two minutes, I felt more relaxed because I knew that I could beat it. And I stand correctly, I got 26 words in two minutes. In the next match I spelt 27 words and in the next round I almost created history of this year’s national Spelling Bee. I spelt the second most words at this year’s Spelling Bee and that is 40, but the other team got 41 and created the record. In the last round I spelt 33 and won when my throat was very sore.
Overall, we won two games and lost two games. We came eighth in the thirty teams that were competing. All in all it was a great experience and I am looking forward to coming back next year.

This was my first time I ever participated in the Spelling Bee of China National Finals. It was a very startling experience. In the third round, our team was a bit more nervous than usual, because if we won this round, we could then go to the finals. We had already won one round, so with another victory, we are going to the finals. We were out of luck on the first two mini rounds, and the other team beat us with a score of two to zero.
Finally, it was my turn. My opponent spelled out one word correctly, while I spelled out two. I won this mini round! After that, our team won all the mini rounds, scoring three to two, winning the round.
I found the experience very startling because it shows how teams can cooperate, get better, and compete, and even if you don’t get a good start, you can always have a good ending. I believe that everything is possible if you do it the right way.

At first, I felt a little scared. When it's my turn to speak, I always have butterflies in my stomach. But when we won the competition, I was not afraid anymore.
I am proud of myself. The part I like most is when we shake hands. I'm always kind to them. I took lots of pictures with the other students in SIBS.
I love this competition. I will get in this competition next year too!
通过这次全国性的比赛,君诚学子为了至高的荣誉、炽热的梦想奋力拼搏、勇往直前。在经历了挫折和挑战之后,孩子们变得更加的沉着自信,不仅积累了丰富的经验,也明白了坚持的意义。祝贺孩子们!
