Module 8 Unit 2
Results of Student Photo Competition
We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.
The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.
The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It's 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.
The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.
A collection of photos called "The Many Faces of Our City" which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.

Daming: This is like a cartoon story. Why? I can imagine every drawing in the cartoon, and I know what the ending will be. The cartoons I like have lots of jokes. But it's no laughing matter. This is serious. This isn't one of those cartoons which make you laugh. And the characters I like are heroes like Superman or Batman. We need someone like Superman who can save Tony ... He's over there! Mr Jackson: Hello, I'm looking for Tony.
Mr Jackson: Could you tell him I'd like to have a word with him? I've got a camera which has
got his name on it. It was upstairs.
Daming:
Betty:
That's good news. Shall I give it to him? Oh, Tony's dad is going over to speak to him. Mr Jackson: OK. Here you are.
