评委寄语第20届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛

Mr. Paul Scott

Head of BBC Learning English

To all of this year’s students in the China Daily 21st Century Speaking Competition – good luck, I wish you all the best and I look forward to hearing a fantastic variety of presentations. Remember, winning or losing does not matter if you’ve given all you can. I’d also like to say congratulations to China Daily on reaching the milestone of 20 years of providing an English language speaking competition. A brilliant achievement which, I’m sure, has inspired many millions of young people in China to learn and use English.

（今年所有参加中国日报“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛的选手们，祝你们好运！希望你们表现出最好的自己，期待你们精彩的演讲。记住，只要尽力了，输赢就不再重要。另外，我还想祝贺《中国日报》主办英语演讲大赛20周年，这是一个里程碑似的日子。我肯定，辉煌的成就已经激励了上百万中国的青年学习和运用英语。）
