—— 嘉定世外第二届英语节启动仪式

中华文化源远流长，自然是学养深厚。从最初的仓颉造字，到后来有了孔子的“敏而好学，不耻下问”又经李白的“君不见黄河之水天上来”再到辛弃疾的的“想当年，金戈铁马，气吞万里如虎”。嘉定世外第二届英语节的主题为“Chinese Culture Speaks”，就是围绕中华民族传统文化展开，旨在向世界展示当代中学生眼中源远流长的中国文化。嘉定世外第二届英语节启动仪式由来自六(2)班的贝奕恺和周芷娴两位同学主持。

六（2）班的管斌和程思涵同学上台讲述他们准备在英语节上介绍的中国文化——茶道和皮影戏。咦？茶道不是日本的吗？台下的同学们疑惑地窃窃私语起来，当然不是，管斌和程思涵同学用流利的英语、生动的表情详尽地介绍了茶道的由来、历史和种类。原来茶道最早源于中国，是中国传统文化的组成部分。

六（2）班的王鹭雯和莫未希同学还带了她们最喜爱的民族乐器——古筝的演奏视频，讲述了她们喜爱古筝的理由。借助英语节的契机，她们将把古筝这种传统艺术介绍给更多的人，让大家都爱上这种传统艺术。一曲热播剧《三生三世十里桃花》里的片尾曲《凉凉》，台下的同学听得如痴如醉非常入迷。

弘扬民族文化，传承经典国粹，不论是雅致的书法，惟妙惟肖的京剧脸谱，还是别具一格的水墨画，清淡素雅的青花瓷，都凝聚了我们中华民族五千年的文明智慧。在嘉定世外，我们要有“中国心”和“世界眼”，传承传统文化，并把传统文化的精粹传播给更多的人，要让世界上越来越多的人了解中国、爱上中国，这也正是本次英语节的目的和意义所在！预祝本次英语节取得圆满成功！
 

With high expectation and excitement, we are going to celebrate the 2nd JDWFLS English Festival on December 29, with the theme this year ---Chinese Culture Speaks.

Our motherland China is a vast country with an ancient culture going back at least 5,000 years and Chinese culture is an amalgamation of enormous diversity and variety, while there are still a load of domestic and overseas people not aware of the charm and essence of sophisticated Chinese civilization. Cross-cultural misunderstandings and miscommunications between foreigners and Chinese still frequently take place. Therefore, it is of significant necessity for us to introduce our rich civilization to people at home and abroad. Furthermore, the basic aim of our school is to cultivate students with global outlook and Chinese heart and we are trying to integrate our educational philosophy with this English Festival to make everyone have in-depth knowledge about Chinese culture.

An interesting and profound opening ceremony will be held in the lecture hall from 8:40 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. Next, students of the entire school are going to explore six sites of Chinese culture, which include Chinese Medicine at Room 306, Shadow Play at Room 307, Cuju at Room 206, Paper Cut at Room 206, Tea Ceremony at Room 303 and Calligraphy at Room 301. After we learn a lot and have great fun in the exploration of different sites, we are going to share our summary and reflection with the teammates. Special-designed prizes and awards will be given to the teams who actively participate in the exploration of Chinese culture.

With various terrific and spectacular art, traditions, history, sports, life styles, it is our responsibility to show our traditional culture to the world and it is of vital sense to inherit Chinese culture. Let’s look forward to our upcoming English Festival and hear what Chinese culture speaks.
