让我们一起来回顾一下英文故事比赛的精彩瞬间吧！

Let us review the wonderful moments of our English Story Competition together!

A组的小朋友为初阶组，虽然他们都选择了简短的故事，但是孩子们非常自信的完成了自己的故事。有的故事是关于一个小女生的梦想，有的是森林里喜欢冬天的小兔子，还有的是和大家分享自己爱好的小蝴蝶…有经典的大灰狼和小猪的故事，也有自己原创的故事。作为初阶组的孩子，他们都能够自信地站在舞台上向大家分享自己喜欢的故事，让我们为他们的表现鼓掌。

The children in group A were our elementary participants. Although they all chose short stories, the children told their stories with great confidence. One of the stories was about a little girl"s dream, there were rabbits in the forest who liked winter, and there were butterflies who shared their favorite things with everyone... There are classic stories about the big bad wolf and the three little pigs, and there were original stories created by the children themselves. As the children of the junior group, they were able to stand on stage confidently and share their favorite stories with everyone, and we applauded their performances.

B组的小朋友为进阶组。他们一个个从容的走上舞台迫不及待地投入角色。有的拿着自己制作的道具板，告诉我们应该爱护地球；有的穿上小猪的服装，为我们讲述小猪挖宝藏的故事；还有认真孵蛋的小猫......每一位孩子都展现出了他们的活力、创造力与自信。

The children in group B were our intermediate group. One by one, they walked onto the stage calmly and stepped into their roles. Some held prop boards made by themselves and told us that we should love the earth; some wore piggy costumes and told us a story about a pig digging for treasure. Each child showed their energy, creativity, and confidence. They shared their favorite stories with everyone, and the audience was amazed!

C组的小朋友为高阶组，他们落落大方，带着有趣的道具，清晰流畅的讲述他们最喜欢的故事。有好饿好饿的毛毛虫、还有好饿好饿的狐狸想要借着盒子拿取食物却频频失败的故事；有在故事中学会了如何进行垃圾分类和回收；还有让人害怕的大大的绿色怪兽！Go Away Big Green Monster！高阶组的比赛十分激烈，小选手们的表现十分生动，让台下的评委和观众都沉浸在故事的快乐里。

The children in group C were our advanced group. They all approached the competition wholeheartedly, brought interesting props, and told their favorite stories clearly and fluently. There were stories about the very hungry caterpillar and the very hungry fox who tried to get food from a box but failed frequently. There was a story about how to sort and recycle garbage and there was a scary story about the Big green monster! Go away Big Green Monster! The competition in the high-level group was very fierce, and the performances of the young contestants were very vivid, which immersed the judges and audience in the story.

不仅如此，我们还邀请了K1和Pre K的小朋友作为特邀表演选手，跟我们分享他们最喜欢的绘本故事。虽然他们是特邀表演选手，但是他们的表现可是一点也不逊色呢！

In addition to this, we invited children from K1 and Pre-K as special guest performers to share their favorite stories with us. Although they were specially invited performers, their performances were superior!
