7、To celebrate the great achievements in the past 30 years of reform and opening up， a speech contest organized by the Senior Two was held in the gymnasium of our school on the afternoon of March 15th,2009. More than 1200 people were lucky to listen to the speeches on the spot, including all the teachers and students in Senior 2, the leaders of our school and parents of some students. Eighteen contestants / candidates from different classes in Senior Two delivered wonderful speeches very fluently. Some of them talked about the great changes which had taken place in our country through their personal experiences and others sang high praise for the wise policy of reform and opening up by comparing their hometowns’ present with their past.
