Last Sunday I had a great experience in a small town locating in the southwest of China. I was very lucky but was invited as one of the judges of an English competition among kid. They were from a privately school. At the first they gave a speech about themselves, their school and their families. Then they sang songs, recite poems, and even played the guitar. That was so impressive was a girl who sang an English song named Ten Green Sheep. Although he didn’t have a good voice, she put her heart into it. All the participants were thought highly by the judges. They, who was aged 5 to 11, tried so hard that we were moved by them.
