I’m in a favour of English- speaking contests in school Such contests encourage students to practise speaking English in their classes and help them improve their speaking skills Besides, while preparing themselves for the contest, students have a chance to review their lesson thoroughly Contests among classes provide students with opportunities to work with team spirit, thus enabling them to learn how to cooperate with other people Some students may think that their preparation for the speaking contests are time- consuming However, in my opinion, such preparations are worth spending time on My classmates and I have found that we speak English better after each contest In sum, English-speaking contests in school are useful to students
11 English- speaking contests give students opportunities to practise speaking English
12 English- speaking contests provide students with a lot of useful skills
