At last, Liu Xiangtao, director of the international high school div, made a summary of the English Festival activities and put forward expectations for the students' future study. Through the English Festival activities, students showed their elegance, gained confidence, learned about themselves and grew in the competition. At the same time, students now have a more objective understanding of their English strength.
外教David认为，在英语节活动中，我们欣赏到的各种表演都是非常不同和独特的。它真的给了学生们一个机会来分享他们的热情和兴趣。表演者们自己要站在同伴和老师面前演出，这是一个不小的壮举。同时，David认为所有同学都应该理解站在聚光灯下的重要性，由此获得的信心将会使他们终身受益。
The variety of acts that we got to appreciate were all very different and unique. It really gave students a chance to share their passions and interests with all in attendance. The performers themselves got to stand up in front of their peers and teachers which is no small feat. I hope they all understand how important it is to be in the spotlight, and the confidence gained that they can take with them into the future.
