Kitty wrote an article about the English Week in their school.

Many schools have an English Day or English Week every year. Students love it and they usually take an active part in it.

Last week our school had an English Week. We did everything in English. The Students’ Union organized (组织) many activities. Each class put up a special wallpaper outside their classroom. There was an English speech contest on how to be a good student in the new century. Many students and teachers enjoyed it. There were also a lot of English riddles on the walls of the school gym. I got three prizes because I guessed many riddles.

On the last day, all the teachers and students gathered (聚集) in the school hall. We had the closing ceremony of the English Week there. We also invited some students from an American School. First, our headmaster made a closing speech in English. Then we watched some performances by some students and teachers. There were short plays, dances, piano-playing group sing, etc. This was really wonderful closing ceremony. We enjoyed every minute of it. We are all looking forward to the next English Week.
