The English Reading Competition held during winter or summer holidays witnessed its participants’ continuous efforts in the past four reading journeys. Our appreciation shall go to those students from various schools of TKKC, who show their keen interest in English reading, and to those volunteers who devoted their time and energy to the smooth operation of the competition. As 2023 winter holiday approaches, our English reading travel will commence as scheduled. This time, we want to try something different.
The following are the important things you have to know:
1. Duration of the competition: Jan. 1st 2023- 9th Feb. 2023 (40 days).
2. The Platform: We are not going to use the mini-programme “Xiaodaka (小打卡)” anymore; instead, participants will upload their daily reading reports in the Form for Collection in Tencent Documents (腾讯文档). In the Form for Collection, participants have to fill the following information:
1) What’s your name (in Chinese)?
2) What’s your student number?
3) Which category did you read today?
a. Books
b. Reports
4) What’s the title of the book or the report you read today?
5) How many pages did you cover in today’s reading? (At least 5 pages)
6) How many pages you have accumulated since the start of the competition?
7) What’s your question you want to ask yourself in today’s reading? (Optional)
8) What’s your answer to your own question? (Optional, at least 50 words with materials from your reading or research)
3. Rules of Scoring:
1) The competition comprises of two parts, namely, a 40-day daily report, accounting for 60% of your performance, and the rest 40% will go to participants’ reading reports. Each participants’ final scores will be a sum of totals of the two parts.
2) The reading materials are given in digital forms. They are in two categories, books and reports. Participants are supposed to read from these materials. A daily report will be considered invalid if you read materials that are not from what we provide.
3) Questions 1-6 are mandatory; if you answer the first 6 questions, you are going to be given 1 point.
4) Questions 7-8 are optional; if you answer them as required, you are going to be awarded extra 2 points.
5) No extra bonus will be given for consecutive daily reports as we did in the last four competitions; namely, for a total duration of 40 days, you can at most obtain 120 points, which will be calculated proportionally into a scale of 60 points.
6) For reading reports, only those who complete at least 30 days of daily reports shall have a chance to present; the report should be no less than 500 words, and presented in a neat format. More details on the same will be given later.
7) At the end of the competition, the First Prize will be awarded to the one who scores the highest, the Second Prize to the second and third places, and the Third Prize is for the fourth to sixth places. A certain number of participants will be granted a certificate of participation.
