为期一周的北外附校第十八届中学生外语节已经落下帷幕。外语节是我校展示学校外语特色，发扬附校外语教育传统，检验外语教学质量的平台，同时也是实现我校培养“复语复合型人才”教育教学宗旨的一个有效载体。在新课程标准颁布之际，外语节也是我们对新课标提出的“学中用、用中学、学用结合、学以致用、用后再学”的理念的贯彻和实践。

今年外语节的主题是“Classics without borders, languages build bridges”——“经典无国界，语言筑桥梁”。在外语节期间，我们开展了班级板报评比、拼词大赛、读书分享会、演讲比赛、小语种歌会、英语戏剧展演以及外语嘉年华等一系列外语类学科活动，旨在鼓励同学们多阅读世界经典文学名著，多开口说英语，给学生提供更多实际运用外语的机会。

同学们以个人、组队、班级为单位等各种形式参加各种活动，不管是作为选手上台竞技，还是作为观众摇旗呐喊，不管是负责输出侃侃而谈，还是负责辅助幕后辛劳，所有同学都在积极参与的过程中收获满满。连家长都受到感染，称“有学有玩有体验，这才是初中生活应有的样子”。

以下节选自一些学生和家长对外语节的反馈：

进入初中以来，学校举办的很多活动都非常丰富，但是我最喜欢的是外语节。外语节不光有各种比赛，如英语戏剧、英语阅读展示、板报设计比赛等，还有外语节入场式，各个班级的入场表演各不相同却都精彩纷呈，让我们大饱眼福。在外语节一些列活动中，我参与讲了板报设计大赛并获得了二等奖，法语诗歌朗诵比赛并取得了一等奖的好成绩。这是一次非常难忘的经历，参与其中让我获益颇多，我感受到了学习外语的乐趣，未来我会更加努力学好语言，成为传播中国文化的使者。

感受和收获

It was delightful and I have earned many useful skills and discovered that I had many talents in store. I was the play writer of The Adventures of Tom sawyer and I had never thought one day my play would be selected to be performed in one of the biggest events of the year. I have learned that hard work leads to glory and success sometimes in the long run. I worked very hard on the play. I took it as seriously as I could. I feared that somebody would snatch the meat of glory right out of my mouth, so I tried my best and I succeeded.

建议

I really wish that we would have a foreign music show.

为期一周的第18届外语节落下帷幕，但每一个激动人心的画面仍历历在目，阅读分享会、拼词大赛、戏剧表演等等。在所有活动中，我最喜欢的莫过于外语嘉年华。

在外语嘉年华上，各班把自己所阅读的书目通过表演的形式呈现给观众，与其他人一起分享自己的收获和快乐的感受，那是我度过的最有意义的一个下午。

在这次活动中，我也收获颇丰。我不仅对于作品有了更深层次理解，而且体验了自己读小说、写剧本再到创排短剧，带着同学们一起排练再到正式的演出，最终，我班阅读分享会荣获最佳表演奖的那一刻，我内心的喜悦之情无以言表。在整个排练过程中，我感受到了集体的温暖和团结，也感受到了团队合作的重要性，我相信八班可以在未来学校组织的各项活动中有更加精彩的表现。

这一届外语节才刚刚结束，我就已经在期待下一届外语节了，希望下一次可以给更多同学上台表演的机会，也希望可以恢复小语种歌会的活动。

经历几许，感慨万千，这一届外语节虽然结束了，而我们的外语学习却不会止步，我们一定会在未来不断提升自己，感受外语的魅力，使外语成为我们走向世界的桥梁！ 

The 18th Foreign Language Festival has come to an end and so many exciting activities, Reading and Sharing, Spelling Bee and Drama Show, are still flashing in my mind. Among all of them, my favorite one is undoubtedly the Foreign Language Carnival.

On that day, each class presented a classical novel and shared with us their gains by performing on the stage, which was very meaningful.

I have also gained a lot in it. It enables me to have a deeper understanding of the classics. I have experienced a sense of achievement and happiness of success through creating scripts and choreographing short plays. Most importantly, I feel the warmth and unity of a collective work. I believe that Class 8 will continue to have excellent performance in the coming activities.

Soon after this foreign language festival, I have begun to look forward to the next one. I hope that next time more students will have the opportunity to perform on the stage. I also hope to resume the Spanish language singing competition.

Now I can’t help myself feeling nostalgic. Although the Foreign Languages Festival is over, our foreign language learning has never ceased and will never cease. We will continue to improve ourselves, feel the charm of languages and make them the bridges leading us to the world!

初一（9）班 高兴

I have to say, after this Foreign Languages Festival, I really learned a lot and had a lot of fun. From my point of view, I think the part I like the most is the part that every class sends some students to do a presentation about the book we read during the winter vacation. All the classes were there. from that part, I saw a lot of interesting books, such as the Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, etc. Oh, and not to forget lots of great performances about the content of those classical books. I have to admit, all of those performances are very interesting, and widened my eyesight.

This time, during the Foreign Languages Festival, I was into most of the important positions: the main character of the drama The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the leading dancer of my class’s performance of the carnival, a member of the book sharing activity. Even though I’m totally exhausted after all of these, it really was fun and I learned a lot. First of all, I learned how to better cooperate with my classmates. In our dance on the carnival, we had to dance together, and that really was a task for our team spirit. Luckily, after lots of practices, we finally got the dance right and won second prize for it. Secondly, I learnt a lot about other classical books all around the world. This time, the book that was assigned to our class was called the Hatchet. After listening to other classes’ reports, I learned a lot about those classical literature and produced the desire to read more original English classical literature.

At last, I think we could add another activity to the Foreign Language Festival—Foreign Language Singing Contest! I believe by doing this, we can motivate the students’ enthusiasm for Foreign Languages!

That is all I want to say.

初二（3）班 余诗易

Personally speaking, my favorite event during the Foreign Languages Festival had to be my moment in the spotlight--- the spelling bee. The series of spectacular events was a perfect opportunity to take display what we’ve learned and assess our own language learning skills. For me, hosting the parade was also a precious experience worth remembering. I hold great expectation for the next festival, and I sincerely hope to see more promising language learners.

初二（10）班 安晋辉

Hello, I’m An Jinhui from Class 10 Grade 8.

Over the past week, our school held the 18^th Foreign Languages Festival, with the topic of ‘Classics Without Borders, Languages Build Bridges’. This year’s event, I believe, concentrated more on the classics, the moments when language and action come to life.

As for me, there is no doubt that the drama show is superior to others when I first think of this festival’s most attractive and memorable event. These diligent actors performed to us a vivid scene at full steam, which brings us into an immersive environment where every detail and expression can alter the current situation in various stories.

Being the host of the Drama show, I’ve comprehended it a lot. I saw actors and teachers bustling around, just for a better performance for audience. I was deeply touched in real earnest, since we all have been striving for a higher standard in life. By seeing these young actors trying to do their best, I’ve gathered up my confidence not only in hosting, but also in future studying.

For the next Foreign Language Festival, I’m looking forward to seeing more performances in which students can show their talents and abilities, in order to keep a balance between our academic subjects and school activities.

初一（9）班 高兴家长

外语节这些天，作为家长，我每天关注着学校公号上精彩纷呈的各种活动，每天激动着孩子们的激动，默默为他们加油助威。

从戏剧表演，到读书分享，到团队行进领舞......，孩子们每天在课本学习之余，对书本提升了领悟，对文艺进行了实践，对团队培养了深情。更多的欢笑，更多的体验，可以说是“寓教于乐”“忙并快乐”！有一天，我很感动地与初一9班班主任谷老师在微信上分享说：“有学有玩有体验，这才是初中生活应有的样子！”

对人生、对求学生涯，不同的家长为孩子有不同的设计。从外语节的盛况来看，北外附校确实在笃行着她“培养综合素质全面的复合型国际化预备英才”的办学理念，这也正是北外附校吸引着我送孩子跨区就读的原因！

学习何止在三尺书桌，孩子们加油！
