“爱拼才会赢”Spelling Bee小学版首发来了

随着同学们逐渐熟悉了精心设计的比赛规则，初赛在各个班级以笔试的形式陆续举行。每班的前十位笔试优胜者仍在班级范围内进行口头复赛，由此产生晋级年级组决赛的仅一到两名学生。决赛不容失误，同学们在残酷的淘汰制之下大胆小心地拼出单词。比赛的词汇表基本来自于课内材料，但选手们实在准备得“过于充分”了，裁判不得不拿出来隐藏题卡以决出最终冠军。观众们展示出了极大的热情，他们在选手拼词的时候屏息聆听，在选手拼错的时候举手抢答纠错。全体中外教师作为出题官、裁判官和计时官也都捏着一把汗，期待着孩子们面对较难词汇时的表现，也期待着比赛结果。

A written test is held in every class after the well-devised competition rules are publicized. Ten elite spellers can attend a class-wide oral spelling contest, from which only one or two best spellers can advance to the final round. These brave final bees have to spell their assigned words carefully because of the harsh elimination. Word lists are basically made up of textbook materials, however, our candidates are so “over-prepared” that judges have to take out a hidden list to welcome the champion. The audience show their enthusiasm about the competition as well, by holding their breath when friends are spelling and by shouting out the correct answer when spellers make a mistake. All the pronouncers, judges and time keepers are also on edge as they wait for students’ performance after giving a challenging word and wait for the competition results.
