🚀 Want to Crush Your Next Speech? Here’s How! 🎤🏆

Last year, I shared a post breaking down the secrets of speech contests: Enhancing Speech Performance: An Analysis of Key Factors and Evaluation Criteria. It was packed with tips to help students level up their speech game.

Fast forward to this year—my friend Qin Mingyue took those tips seriously. She applied everything, practiced like a pro, and guess what? She won first place in the competition! 🥇🎉

Since I was a judge at all three rounds of the contest (and recorded everything 📹),I decided to go beyond a simple post — I created a FREE mini-course on how to deliver a winning speech! This course is packed with real examples from students who competed, plus practical techniques to improve not just your public speaking skills but also your English fluency. Because let’s be real—if you don’t speak English well, how can you expect to win?

So, if you want to:
✅ Speak confidently
✅ Improve your English
✅ Ace your next speech contest (or just impress your audience!)

🎓 Check out the course—it's 100% free and straight to the point! → Click here to see it

Don’t just take my word for it—Qin Mingyue put these strategies into action and walked away with the gold. Will you be next? 💡🎙️

Movie Activity - AVATAR (2009) Improve Your English by Watching Movies!

Movie Activity - AVATAR (2009)

Improve Your English by Watching Movies! 🎬📚

Even thou just few students show up for the activity, and that feels a little awkward I did reserve such a big class for the event, the activity was very successful, it would be successful even just one student show up.  

Fof this activity we watch it Avatar (2009),it was a 3 hours movie and we enjoy it a lot, it was so fun to do it that perhaps I will do it again…

 

Learning English doesn’t have to be boring or feel like hard work—one of the most enjoyable ways to improve your skills is by watching movies! Films expose you to natural conversations, different accents, cultural expressions, and real-life situations that textbooks simply can’t capture.

When I was living in the USA, I used to go to the movie theaters every week. It was very affordable, especially with dollar movies. At first, I didn’t understand much, and it felt overwhelming. But I kept going, listening, and paying attention to the dialogue. Little by little, my comprehension improved, and I started recognizing words, phrases, and even jokes. The key is to never give up and enjoy the process. One day, all your effort will pay off, and you’ll be glad you stuck with it.

Below are some pictures from when I was living in USA and how I used to make watching movies as part of my English learning process…

If you’re learning English, try watching movies with subtitles at first, then gradually switch to English audio without them. Choose films you love so that learning feels fun. Your brain will naturally absorb new words, pronunciation, and sentence structures.

Have you ever used movies to improve your English? What’s your favorite film for learning? Let me know in WeChat if you have my contact 🎥✨

JOB FAIR - Why Learning English Can Change Your Life

JOB FAIR

Why Learning English Can Change Your Life

Today, on my way back from lunch, I noticed some activity in the playground. It wasn’t as crowded as I imagine it had been in the morning, but something about it caught my attention. Curious, I walked over to see what was happening.

It turned out to be a job fair. There weren’t many students around at that moment, but what I saw next was enough to prove a very important point.

I recognized one of the company representatives, Eric, who works for a global business. He was speaking with a student I knew from the English Corner—someone I had personally encouraged to practice English because I knew he was making an effort to improve. As I listened to their conversation, I realized something incredible: Eric wasn’t just chatting—he was scouting for talent.

By the end of our discussion, Eric turned to me and asked, “Do you have more students like him? We need people who can speak English.”

Think about that for a second. This company was ready to hire someone not because of their degree, not because of their grades, but because they could communicate in English. The ability to speak English was more important than a diploma in that moment. Why? Because businesses in China—and all over the world—need people who can sell, negotiate, and communicate across borders.

This is not a rare situation. It happens all the time. Those who make even a small effort to learn English open doors to opportunities that others never will.

So ask yourself: Are you ready for when an opportunity like this comes your way? Or will you let it slip by because you didn’t take English seriously?
