There is no official word on whether the other English contests will be held live this year. Before COVID the English contests usually occurring in second semester were what I call the "Three Ring Circus". Three competitions were held simultaneously at one venue: Storytelling, Reading Competition, and the "Word King" spelling competition. The Reading Competition and Word King spelling competitions have pre-set scripts and materials. They have changed over the years, but the idea for the Reading competition is to read one of 3 short stories selected by the contestant at random 5 minutes before performing, while the Word King competition is basically a 100-word vocabulary test, and storytelling is a performance by one or two students telling a story of their choice. During COVID years the Word King competition was moved online at Cool English.
In this section are Quizlet sets that I have used for past Reading Competitions. I also have Word King sets from previous years. The Word King is perhaps the most challenging competition. Contestants will hear English words and choose the Chinese translation, also they will see Chinese words and must select the English (and vice-versa), and finally, they will have to spell out English words (in writing).
