What can you do in two minutes? Cyrus Siu, 12, made a great speech in English and      the hearts of everyone.

Siu studies at Singapore International School in Hong Kong. He      the Junior high category (初中组) of the 11th “21st Century Cup” National High School and Primary School English Speaking Competition in Xiamen, Fujian on March 22.

His speaking skills and good English won him the top      .

Siu said his first secret to success was      many English books. He has read all the seven Harry Potter books, each four to five times. Now he is reading Steve Jobs: A Biography(《乔布斯传》)

“These books may be      for my age, but reading helps me to learn new words,” he said.

Siu likes English-speaking movies. Super hero movies,      Iron Man(《钢铁侠》) and The Avengers(《复仇者联盟》), are his favorite.

“Every boy has the dream of becoming a super hero one day. Sometimes I imagine

      to be one of the heroes and shout out the English lines(台词). It’s good to combine(结合) your      with learning English.

It’s also important to      an English-speaking environment for yourself. Siu talks to his classmates and teachers in English all day long at school.      his parents talk to him in Cantonese(粤语) at home, he still tries to answer in English.

“There is no shortcut(捷径) to studying English. Just practice, practice and practice!”Siu said.
