From April 13 to 15, the 16th National High School English Speaking Competition was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Jin Ruiqi, a 13-year-old boy from Shanghai, won the grand final. Standing onstage, Jin impressed the judges(评委) and audiences(观众) not only with his excellent English, but also his critical(批判性的) thinking abilities.

For example, during the Q&A part, one judge asked him whether or not

he likes memes(表情包). Jin didn’t answer yes or no simply, he explained his opinion in two sides. He said that he doesn’t like memes that are made with photos of people, as he believes this is people’s personal information. Then he added that memes made with comic characters can make chatting online more colorful and easy. “His thoughts are logical and reasonable,” said a judge at the competition. “He has great critical thinking abilities, which let him view things in an all-around way and stand out from other contestants.” He also believes that being a good observer(观察者) is helpful. “I enjoy finding interesting things around me and doing research. For example, why do 24-hour convenience stores have locks on their doors? I’ll first each for answers online, and then consider other possible answers after doing more research,” Jin said.

Of course, Rome was not built in one day. It took a lot of effort for Jin to learn his skills. The best way to develop these kinds of skills is to simply read and think a lot, Jin told TEENS. He has read many English-language books. Every time he finishes a book, he writes a book report in English that includes his opinion of the book. He has a public WeChat account(微信公众号). He uses it to share his thoughts about his favorite songs and books, all in English. This is a great way to build up material for speeches. He also likes to chat with classmates and teachers so he can get new ideas by hearing different people points of view.
