Dear All

I'm planning to take my Y9 & Y10 students to Chinatown on 19th of Feb. Apart from, we will eat at a Chinese restaurant for lunch & do some shoppings in the afternoon. I wonder if any teacher has got any interactive Mandarin activity tasks for students to do when they arrive in Chinatown in the morning? 

Any ideas will be appreciated. You can email me directly.  [log in to unmask] 

Thank you very much in advance.

Subject: Translation Competition for Schools

Dear all
 
I’m delighted to announce that the Writing Chinese project’s Translation Competition is now open!
 
This year it is exclusively for secondary school students, so if you have any pupils who have been studying Chinese for a while and are keen on translation, do encourage them to enter. It’s a picture book, and there is an audio recording available.
 
The winner will be able to have his/her translation published as a bilingual book by Balestier Press. We are looking for natural English expression – a translation which, while accurate, would also be work as a book for English-speaking children.
 
See the link below for more information – I hope you’ll agree this could be a great opportunity for some of your students!

All the best from Leeds, and all of the Writing Chinese team
