Clubs

Stock（股票） market club， German club， magic club... These are some examples of the many fun clubs at our school. What makes these clubs so special？ They are not led by teachers. From bringing up ideas to putting them into action， the students take charge of everything.

Our school recently announced that we could start our own clubs. As soon as the news spread， students took the chance. My friend and I were interested in writing. We took part in the tryouts（選拔賽） for a writing team. The competition was very fierce. We were not able to join the team. Soon we got the idea to set up a non-competitive writing club. Anyone who loves to write can join. So， we created Write Space.

First， we planned the goals of the club. We hoped that members could share their writing at regular（定期的） meetings. Members would give each other advice and make progress together. We also thought about how to invite new members and raise funds（資金）. Then we sent the proposal（方案） to the school. When the school agreed， we got a new club！

Starting a club is not easy， but leading one is harder. A fully student-run club is a good chance to develop leadership skills. For example， sometimes you need money to run a club. You can ask others to help by several ways. Here are some tips to raise money.

1. Create a fundraising（籌款） page online. Write about what you will do with the money. Share the page on social media. Donors can then help you directly.

2. Organize a bake sale. Invite friends， parents and teachers to donate some homemade food like cakes. Then you can sell them to others.

3. Recycle old things. Ask if people you know can donate old clothes or books. Then， sell them to other people at discounted prices.

落實“雙減”顯成效，多彩社團添魅力。“雙減”政策實施后，學校開設了豐富多彩的俱樂部課程，各俱樂部為招募新社員，安排老社員進行演講。現邀請你寫一篇英語演講稿，為同學們介紹你參加的俱樂部情況。要點包含：

（1）介紹你參加的俱樂部名稱；

（2）俱樂部的主要活動內容；

（3）你參加俱樂部后的感受或者你的變化。

Clubs Are Calling

Hello， boys and girls. Are you ready for an interesting and colourful school life？ Now I’d like to introduce Li Bai Poets Club.

There are many clubs in our school. I joined a club called Li Bai Poets Club. It is a good place for me to learn about Chinese culture.

As a club member， I swim in a sea of beautiful words. I enjoy exploring all kinds of poems and songs. I gradually understand the charm of Chinese culture.

I’m so lucky that I can join the club. Through it， I feel more confident and wiser. I am more and more interested in the beauty of poetry. We Chinese should learn Chinese culture better.

That’s all， thank you！

在第二段中，介紹俱樂部名稱與第一段重復，而學習中國文化與下文又重復。該段可以整合優化。

小作者從自身變得自信、聰明，更加愛上詩詞俱樂部闡述了俱樂部的好處。如果能加入增強伙伴關系等方面內容則更佳。

該文行文不流暢，缺乏總結的語句，立意也有提升空間。

Clubs Are Calling

Hello， boys and girls. Are you ready for an interesting and colourful school life？ Now I would like to introduce the Li Bai Poets Club.

As a club member， I enjoy the beauty of language and the wonders of nature by reciting his poets. I often lose myself in the charm of Chinese culture.

Just as the saying goes， “Practice makes perfect.” I have made great progress in Chinese study. Meanwhile， I have improved a lot in both mind and body. I am happier and more confident than before. What’s more，" I have also made a lot of new friends and we often share the happiness brought by the poems.

As teenagers， it is our duty to share the stories of Chinese poetry and spread Chinese culture around the world. I sincerely hope you can join us on this journey.

That’s all， thank you！

升格文中，小作者描述了自己在李白詩詞俱樂部的經歷，闡述了俱樂部活動帶給自己的好處。參加俱樂部不僅僅讓自己增強了自信，愛上了中華傳統文化，而且還讓自己結交了很多志同道合的好友。難能可貴的是，小作者意識到作為一名中學生，要學會講好中國故事，宣傳中國文化。

句式方面，小作者用了Meanwhile， What’s more等連接語句，使得行文流暢起來；使用諺語，運用定語從句等句式，讓文章更具感染力。
