二零一零年五月一日，伦敦中文学校参加了国际语言学校的多文化庆祝活动。庆祝现场热闹非凡，各学校的老师同学们以独具自己特色的方式展示民族文化，互相交流，加深了解。
这次庆祝活动的一个亮点便是富有浓郁民俗特色的文艺表演。意大利、波兰、西班牙、韩国、希腊、葡萄牙等十几个语言学校均呈上了精心准备的民族歌舞，精彩纷呈。其中中文学校的舞蹈《千手观音》最是艳惊四座，赢得了全场热烈的掌声。
在庆祝活动的中心场地，中文学校的师生们带来了中国美食进行义卖。老师们亲手做的包子、饺子、春卷、炒饭、炒面、寿司等美食十分受欢迎，短短一两个小时便被购买一空。本次义卖的善款将会送至海地，为当地居民重建家园贡献一点微薄之力。
义卖的同时，中文学校还展示了学生的学习成果以及丰富多彩的中国传统文化，如筷子的使用，中国书法和绘画，折纸艺术等等。这些有趣的活动吸引了各民族朋友的积极参与，增进了大家对中国文化的了解。
本次活动举办的十分成功，这要感谢所有的师生、贵宾以及家长的通力合作。希望更多的人能够做出努力，把中国博大精深的语言和文化带向世界。

On May 1st 2010, the second annual Multicultural Event was held at John Paul II Secondary School. All programs of the International Language Program were joined together to organize this event supported by the London District Catholic School board. We, London Chinese School, were honoured to be one of the biggest participating language schools. Other schools include Assyrian, Ethiopian, Greek, Korean, Pakistan, Poland, Portuguese, Spanish and Vietnamese. The main purpose of this event was not only to display and learn about different cultures through videos, performances, food, and games, but also to raise money so all proceeds can be sent to Haiti.
When I arrived at John Paul II Secondary School, our principal, vice principal, teachers and student volunteers had already started in preparation for the events in the atrium. Tables were set for many activities, displays and food. Some of our teachers and parents were very generous and donated different kinds of food and snacks including dumplings, fortune cookies, fried rice, sushi and much more. Our senior students and teachers also helped in demonstrations such as Chinese painting, calligraphy, paper cutting, chopsticks usage, and Chinese chess. Our students also performed a magnificent dance of the Thousand Hand Buddha and a beautiful song played with the traditional Chinese instrument Guzheng by Alice. They both received thunderous applause from the audience.
As I walked around the atrium to tables set up by the different International Language Schools, I enjoyed looking at their displays of their traditional costumes and of course, sampling their traditional cuisine. This multicultural event gives me a valuable opportunity to walk into different communities that is less familiar to me and more importantly, when you learn about different cultures, you can respect each other more.

2010年4月11日，周日，是一個難忘的日子。這一天，在謝校長的帶領下，我，袁思晨，楊雪琪和王美蓮參加了由加拿大華文教育學會主辦的第二屆中學生漢語橋多倫多賽區選拔賽。這屆的比賽主題是：快樂漢語。這個比賽包含了三個部分：演講比賽，知識比賽和才藝比賽。比賽又分成兩組：團體組和個人組。個人組又有三個小組，分別爲：華裔移民，土生華裔和非華裔。
我被分在了非華裔這個小組。在演講這個比賽環節，我跟大家分享了我學漢語的愉快經驗。在那裏不僅我一個人分享了我學中文的經驗，每一個參賽選手都講述了他們自己學漢語的經驗和作爲華裔的後代學中文的重要性。我記得有一位參賽選手說以前是爸媽逼他學中文，可是現在變成他自己主動學中文。我非常同意這位選手所說的，因爲我想起我自己小時候很討厭上中文學校因爲中文很無聊又很難發音，可是後來慢慢的愛上學中文，對中文很感興趣了。
在比賽之前讓我最頭痛的環節就是這個知識比賽環節。可是沒想到我居然得到了這個環節的三等獎。記得裏面有一道題是讓我們選出“竹籃打水”後面要接的句子。當時我一看到這題我腦子一片空白。然來我想象了竹籃的樣子，然後心裏說竹籃有很多縫隙，一打水，水全部都漏了，所以應該是什麽都撈不到吧。最後我選了“一場空”。
最後一個環節—才藝表演，我給大家朗誦了朱自清的散文“匆匆”。在這個環節每個人表演的才藝都不一樣。有人表演武術，跳舞等等。讓我印象最深刻的是武術表演，因爲這個表演者每打一個動作就喊一聲，很有力道，蠻有成龍的感覺的。
經過這次的比賽不僅測試了我的漢語水平，還鍛煉了我的演講能力和表演能力。

On April 11th, 2010, I attended the 2nd Canadian Chinese Proficiency Competition in Toronto. There were 2 categories; Chinese and non-Chinese. As I am only half-Chinese, I thought it would be more appropriate to enter in the non-Chinese category. My other three friends entered in the Chinese category.
There were three parts to the competition. Firstly, was a Chinese speech competition. It was worth 50 marks. The second part was the knowledge questionnaire. That was worth 20 marks. The last section was a Talent contest, also worth 20 marks. The whole competition was out of 70 points, but there was a prize/trophy for each category, plus a prize for the winner of all three categories.
For the speech portion of the Competition, I didn’t do as well as I had hoped. I was quite nervous, and stumbled a bit near the end of my speech. I also thought the judges were quite intimidating when I was up on the stage. Giving speeches was never my finest skill, especially when in a language other than English, so I’m not surprised I was not the best in that section.
I did quite well on the second part, however, as they were quite simple and direct questions about China. The questions themselves were very diverse; it ranged from ancient musical instruments to grammar and politics. I felt very comfortable answering these questions, as I am very well-known in the subject of Chinese trivia.
The third section of the competition was definitely my favourite and strongest performance. 5 years ago, I traveled to China with my mother for vacation in the summertime. It was then that I learned how to play the GuZheng, a Chinese Harp-like instrument. For this competition, I played a 3 minute song on the instrument. I was quite confident I would do well in this part of the Competition. I was right.
After all the candidates had gone, there was a lunch break, and then a performance. There were lots of dancing, singing, and other musical displays, and I enjoyed them all very much. Several important representatives and sponsors also made quick speeches, and then finally it was time to hand out the awards and trophies.
I ended up winning the trophy for the Talent Contest, as everyone seemed to expect. I could see my parents smiling and taking pictures of me in the audience seats. After all the trophies were handed out, a television news reporter, a radio host, and a news reporter came up and interviewed me. It was quite fun, and I ended up getting on the radio, newspaper, and TV all in one day!
All in all, I thought the whole competition was a lot of fun, and I got to meet so many new people. I see winning a trophy and a fancy certificate as just a bonus, as I definitely took a lot of experience and good memories from the competition!
Hopefully next year, I will be able to enter the competition again, and maybe I will win for the second time. But even if I don’t, I would love to gain even more experience and new friends than this year, especially because now I know exactly what to expect. I hope all the other candidates who participated in the competition also feel the same way, and I can’t wait to see them all again next year!

By Hao Xu, on March 17th, 2010 （伦敦大众时报讯）经过层层选拔，三月六日，有九位同学进入了伦敦中文学校演讲比赛的决赛。由抽签决定比赛的顺序。第一位演讲的同学介绍的是中国的美食。通过典故叙述了饺子，粽子等中国传统食品的来历。虽然是讲广东话的背景，普通话说得也还算流畅，再加上图文并茂的辅助展板，给演讲比赛开了个好头。除了介绍中国美食，还有同学讲述元宵节的来历，十二生肖的故事，岳飞的精忠报国等，选材都不错，各有千秋。此次演讲比赛，原创的题材令人印象深刻。好几位同学讲述了在中国的经历和感受。最后一位演讲的同学，以播放一首歌曲作为开场，形式也很新颖。演讲的同学水平比较接近，评审老师又各有喜好，评奖有些难度。最后综合评定，于天博，袁思晨和杨雪琪获得了前三名。其实得奖固然可喜，参与更为重要。图为中文学校谢校长和三位获奖同学。

By Hao Xu, on December 15th, 2009 On Saturday morning, November 14 2009 I attended the International Languages Annual Conference and attended the lecture named “How the children express their feeling and emotions” presented by Ms. Madzelan.
Ms. Madzelan started her lecture by giving us a heart with different feelings. She asked us to put our names in the middle and highlight the corresponding words that we felt at her class. Then she asked some people why they felt that way. Thirdly she gave us some activities like separating different colors into four different catalogues included happiness, fear, contentment, anger. As a teacher, she suggested we help children to teach the feeling words, encourage them to express their feelings with some proper guidance. Lastly she gave us a list of books that help children for a better understanding feeling and the way to deal with them. Thanks ILAC for the opportunities for us to explore different teaching ideas.
