Being able to confidently express oneself in front of a large audience is an important skill that will carry your child a long way in his/her life. As with any other skill, public speaking takes practice. Our school offers many opportunities that allow our students to practice and sharpen this type of skills. And we encourage all students to participate. Speech contest details and tips can be downloaded from our website at http://www.sandiegochineseschool.com/new/Speech%20Contest%20Guideline_2012.pdf 家長們, 請鼓勵你的孩子參加學校的演講比賽。今年的學生可以都參加演講和詩詞朗誦兩種比賽。能夠自信地在觀眾面前表達自己，是一項重要的技能，這將會影響您的孩子未來的生活。就如同其它的技巧一樣，公眾演講也需要練習。我們的學校提供了很多機會來讓我們的學生練習和加強這種技能。我們鼓勵所有的學生都參加。演講比賽的細節和提示可以從我們的網站下載。請點擊以上鏈接。
