Today many Chinese people want to
their English in different ways. For example, twenty-four young singers from across China entered a contest
singing popular English songs
all the singers sang very clearly and looked comfortable
stage. Some of these singers were able to sing English songs just as
as native speakers.
The singers really came from all age groups and from all over China. The
of the men’s competition was a 40-year-old man from Xi'an, and the winner of the
competition was a 19-year-old girl from Dalian.
winners were very modest and said that they didn't think they were better than the other singers. Jiang Mei, the winner of the women's competition, said
English helped her win the prize. Six months earlier, she felt her English was
, so she had to study hard. She also said that singing English songs made her more interested in learning English.
This kind of contest encourages people in China
