Thirty college students across the country ¡¡¡¡
attended the Tenth 21st Century Cup National English
Speaking Contest in Beijing on April 10. Eventually, Xia
Peng, from Nanjing University was named the champion. The
second and third places went to Zhang Jing, a sophomore
from China Foreign Affairs University, and Zhang A Xu,
from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, respectively. More
than 1000 college students in Beijing are lucky birds to
listen to the speeches on the spot in Friendship Hotel.
Just make to it the finals, they had to get past ¡¡¡¡
60 others speaking on °The impact of globalization on ¡
traditional Chinese values ±. That was at the semi-final¡
on April 8-9. What will Chinese college students think
about the impact? Each contestant had his own take on the
subject. Xia summed up globalization by saying: °It s ¡ ¡¯
just controversial and hard to say whether it is good or
bad. ± Xia took the old wall of his city, Nanjing, as a ¡
metaphor. He spoke about the conflict over whether to
protect the old walls or tear them down to represent the
conflict of ideas. He suggested that people protect the
wall as a valuable relic while tearing down the
°intangible walls ± of their minds that prevent ¡ ¡

communication. While some other students are more
focusing on the impact of globalization on family
relations, attitudes towards love, and job-hunting.
Over the past 10 years, the national English ¡¡¡¡
speaking competition has given contestants a chance to
speak on a variety of topics closely related to their
lives. Chinese students become more open-minded and
receive various ideas and thinking over the decade.
Diversity becomes more obvious on campus, students have
more opportunities to express and show themselves. It s ¡¯
not an easy task for the contestants to win through the
fierce competition. Owning to their passion, hard work
and persistence, they finally succeeded in the contest.
Liu Xin, the first champion of the national ¡¡¡¡
contest, is now an anchorperson of CCTV-9. Recalling the
passion of study on campus, she said: °When you want to¡
express your idea by a foreign language without finding a
right way, you re really upset. Then you have to ¡¯
encourage yourself, and after a long term of bitterness,
suddenly you find you get the right way with joy. ± With¡
the champion title in 21st Century Cup, Liu attended the
International Public Speaking competition in London in
May 1996 afterward and got the first prize historically.

The winner in 20xx surprised the audience, since ¡¡¡¡
she came from accounting major instead of English major.
Gu Qiubei, then 22 years old, was a senior in Shanghai
Foreign Studies University. While being asked whether she
had some good methods to learn English, she said:
°Learn English with passion and enthusiasm. ± ¡ ¡
Attracted by the greatness of English language, Gu even
changed her major from accounting to English in her
postgraduate study. The most important issue in English
learning process she pointed out is personal interests.
Only people interested in English benefit a lot from the
learning methods and those with passion will finally
achieve their dreams.
