English Week: A chance for students to shine
Last week, students at Yangguang Junior High School worked hard to make their English Week a big success. This year’s theme was “promoting cultural exchange”.
There were a number of events and activities during the week. There was an English book fair and a treasure hunt. Some students took part in a speaking competition. They spoke for two minutes on a topic of their choice, and there were wonderful speeches about recent technological developments in China and abroad. Other students put on an English play. They designed the costumes themselves and had great fun acting in the play.
One of the most popular activities was a poster design competition. We spoke to the winner, Zhang Xin. “I’m so happy I won,” he said. “I made a poster about the Silk Road. It was great to learn about this important network of trade routes between China and Europe.”
We spoke to several other students about English Week. One of them was Su Mei. “It gave me a chance to learn about other parts of the world, and it has really helped me improve my English speaking skills. I didn’t know that learning could be this fun!”
The teachers were all very happy with the result. “English Week is a great opportunity for students: they get to take part in fun activities, practise using English and acquire valuable cultural knowledge at the same time,” said a teacher. “No wonder everyone is looking forward to next year’s event!”

Last week, students at Yangguang Junior High School worked hard
to make their English Week a big success.
此句为文章的总起句，简要交代了活动的时间、地点、人物、事件及结果。不定式结构 to make their English Week a big success 作目的状语，“make sb. / sth. + 名词”为固定短语搭配，表示“使某人或某物变得 / 成为……”。本句意为：“上周，阳光初级中学的学生努力让他们的英语周取得了圆满成功。”
They spoke for two minutes on a topic of their choice, and there were wonderful speeches about recent technological developments in China and abroad.
此句为并列句，第一个分句描述活动形式，第二个分句用 there be 句型介绍演讲的内容和效果，两句用 and 连接。本句意为：“他们围绕自选主题进行了两分钟的演讲，其中不乏关于国内外近期技术发展的精彩发言。”
technological development 技术发展
We saw examples of technological development at the AI and VR display.
abroad /R9brO:d/ adv. 在国外；到国外

此句总结性描述英语周活动的核心价值和学生们的收获。在 get to 后面用三个动词强调三个收获：参与趣味活动（take part in fun activities）、练习英语（practise using English）和获得文化知识（acquire valuable cultural knowledge）。本句意为：“他们参与有趣的活动，练习使用英语，同时获取宝贵的文化知识。”
acquire /R'kwaIR(r)/ v. 获得；得到
Volunteering gives us a chance to acquire new skills.
No wonder everyone is looking forward to next year’s event.
此句是文章的总结句，表达基于前述成功的活动和丰富收获而产生的自然结果——期待明年的活动。No wonder 是表因果推论的名词性短语，置于句首，后接陈述句，功能上相当于副词，自然衔接前后逻辑，表示“不足为奇、并不奇怪”。本句意为：“难怪大家都期待着明年的活动。”
no wonder 难怪
With activities like the spelling bee, the treasure hunt and more, it’s no wonder everyone loves English Week.
