一场精彩的角逐，一次自信的“拼”搏，上海常青藤小学**届单词拼写大赛在激烈与欢快的气氛中圆满落幕了。

日月累积，一日鏖战，在全校师生的全力支持和参与中，常青藤小学部一至四年级的孩子们不仅收获了大量的英文词汇与自然拼读技能，也锻炼了上台崭露头角的过硬心理和大胆展现自我的勇气。

For the first time in Shanghai Ivy’s history, our students and teachers have all joined in together to participate in the First Annual Shanghai Ivy Spelling bee. A spelling bee is a great way for students to practice their phonics skills, studying ability, and practice expanding their vocabularies.

上海常青藤小学**届单词拼写大赛

按照规则，同年级的参赛者们同台竞技。每个班单词竞赛的前三名将晋级到最终比赛中，再一决高下。

Students from each year group competed against one another by taking a spelling test. The top 3 students from each class moved onto the final Friday competition, where they competed in a group of 12 to see who had the best spelling ability in their year.

当一位位小选手们神采飞扬地走向舞台中央，他们看上去那么神色专注、胸有成竹。裁判老师随机给出单词的那一刻，似箭在弦，有的随即脱口而出，有的锁眉努力回想......

The competition was very fierce, with students taking turns spelling out the words given by the judges one by one.

每位选手有三次试错的机会，超过后则需先行离场。

Students were given 3 chances to spell the words correctly, after which they would be eliminated from the competition.

因为小选手们都是有备而来，所以首轮比赛中一度出现相持不下的局面;之后几轮随着试错机会慢慢用尽，差距慢慢拉开，最终3名选手脱颖而出，进入决胜局。但无论小选手们晋级与否，写在他们脸上的努力和拼搏，早已证明了他们是**的!

Each of the year groups faced stiff competition, going through the majority of the spelling word lists. One by one, students began to run out of chances and began to be eliminated from the Spelling Bee leaving only the top 3 students.

磨刀千日，临阵不惧，当最后三名小选手站在决赛的舞台上时，全场师生都屏住了呼吸——这一次是否仲伯难分?我们班的选手能不能闯关到最后?会不会有剧情反转?

These students then competed against one another to see who would take home 1st 2nd and 3rd place of the spelling bee.

当小选手们拼尽全力勇夺桂冠后，全体老师为参赛选手们表示由衷的祝贺!英雄不论成败，你们都是充满智慧和勇于进取的孩子，因为你们都尽力在做比较好的自己!

我们也为获胜小选手们欢呼!你们在台上的从容不迫和永不言弃的表现，证明了你们稳扎稳打的单词拼写实力、对语言学习的无限热情，以及不负辛勤备战的那股冲劲。

青藤学子，爱“拼”才会赢，敢“拼”才精彩!

The English teachers want to congratulate everyone who competed in our final competition. All of the students who participated, regardless of whether or not they won, are still some of the top talent the school has to offer, and can hold their head high knowing they all tried their best. All of the teachers from Shanghai Ivy want to congratulate the winners from each of the year groups who stayed calm in front of their peers and teachers, and managed to take home a medal showing their spelling prowess.
