—— 记嘉定世外第三届英语节“祖国颂”
冰凉的雨点从天空飘落，却丝毫没有磨灭嘉定世外的师生与家长对一场盛大活动的热情。以“Ode to Our Motherland祖国颂”为主题的嘉定世外第三届英语节在师生与家长的殷切期待中，在多功能厅拉开了帷幕。
2019年，是中华人民共和国成立七十周年。七十年来，中国人民通过坚持不懈的努力奋斗，取得了举世瞩目的辉煌成就。今天，嘉定世外的学子以英语为一把崭新的钥匙，打开了中西文化交流的大门。他们通过不同形式的英语节目展现着中华民族的伟大精神和优秀文化，表达出自己对祖国的热爱与赞美。
在嘉定世外常务副校长朱萍女士宣布英语节正式开始后，热情洋溢的六年级学子上台献唱了一首首欢快的英语歌曲。朗朗上口的《Try everything》作为开篇，为观众们叙述了一个由不懈坚持与勇敢尝试组成的动人故事；“星光不问赶路人”，《Dream it possible》将追梦路上的点点滴滴娓娓道来；而当受挫倦累之时，何不《Count on me》，寻求身边人一个温暖的拥抱？最后，一曲《You Raise Me Up》将全场的气氛推向了高潮——清澈空灵的声音不仅充满了感恩，也饱含着一份对未来的坚定和美好期盼！
《The Talented Clementine》是一本畅销多年的小说，七年级的学子将它改编为一台生动有趣的情景剧。他们用丰富幽默的语言和妙趣横生的表演为大家演绎了校园生活中一个引人入胜的故事。
我们的祖国在新时期取得了许多重大的成就，八年级的学子通过一组激情澎湃的演讲《Amazing Achievements of China》，为大家展开一幅宏伟的蓝图：从一带一路在国际社会上取得的巨大成就，到奥运赛场驰骋领先的运动健儿……这些都让每一个中国人感到无比的骄傲和自豪！
初中部同学的精彩表演，给在场所有观众都留下了十分深刻的印象。小学部同学的表演同样精彩纷呈！身着动物服装的萌娃为大家带来了一曲《Old McDonald Had a Farm》，他们生动有趣的模仿，为全场观众带来了欢声笑语。
《Something Just Like This》这首火热的单曲，曾经让很多人都印象深刻。对于六年级“男子演唱天团”而言，这首歌蕴含了独特的意义。动听的歌声，酷炫的篮球表演，帅气潇洒的舞蹈展示都给观众留下了深刻的印象。
“Knock, knock, knock!”听，是一年级的小朋友在为我们讲故事！流利的英语发音，大方的台风和投入的神情，无一不让全场惊叹！
在世界的舞台上，我们的祖国取得了如此傲人的成就，这离不开各行各业的中国人为祖国做出的巨大贡献。七年级的学子通过沉稳大气的表演和动人心弦的朗诵，将一代又一代中国人用自己的热血和努力为国家的繁荣与文化的传扬作出的伟大贡献表达得淋漓尽致。如诗般的优美词藻，如画般的场景演绎，坚定地表达出“Our precious country turns out to be what we are. With the light in our heart, there will be a glorious China！”当雷鸣般的掌声响起，他们的心中充满着自豪与希望！
最后，校合唱团的同学们用一曲《Flying Free》唱出了嘉定世外学子们在强大的祖国庇护之下勇于逐梦筑梦的心声！
过去的中国犹如一幅绵长的历史画卷，镌刻在每个中华儿女的心中。而今日中国梦的实现，更需要我们每一个中国人的不懈努力与坚持付出。让我们用青春的光芒，照亮前行的路；让我们用无悔的汗水和坚定的初心，创造一个更加美好的未来！
观后感想
This year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of our motherland. Over the past 70 years —— with perseverance and great efforts —— the Chinese people have impressed the world with our splendid achievements.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have achieved a lot of things that seemed to be impossible. During the English Festival, Grade 7 students have told us about some pioneers in the history and a great number of inventions. I knew China as a country with huge cultural heritage by watching their excellent performance, which was also very stirring.
Up to now, we have never stopped exploring and improving. We have made great progress in every field: Sports, technology, policy, livelihood and so on. All the people are fighting for a better future of China.
After the 3rd English Festival of our school, I’ve not only known more about the magnificent achievements of our country, but also been inspired to work harder for the future of our beloved motherland.
It is said that a nation will prosper only when its young people thrive, a country will be full of hope only when its younger generations have ideals, ability, and a strong sense of responsibility. As the new generations, let's cherish the moment, seize the day, fight together for the tomorrow of our country and realize the Chinese dream!
