Cambridge Young Learners English Tests (YLE)

– Official Exam Centre at Regents Primary School

剑桥少儿英语考试 丽中指定考点

Cambridge Young Learners English Tests (YLE)

To enhance the English proficiency of children aged 6 to 12 in non-native English-speaking countries, Cambridge Assessment English has established the Cambridge Young Learners English Tests (YLE) in 55 countries worldwide. The tests are divided into three levels: Starters (Level 1), Movers (Level 2), and Flyers (Level 3), assessing students’ skills comprehensively in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The interactive and engaging format motivates students and helps them gradually improve their language ability. Candidates who successfully pass the examination will receive internationally recognized certificates issued by Cambridge Assessment English.

Since 2019, Regents Primary School has officially become one of the two authorized examination centers in Shenzhen, enabling students in mainland China to conveniently participate in the examination locally. 

剑桥少儿英语考试

为提高非英语母语国家6至12岁儿童的英语能力，剑桥大学考试委员会在全球55个国家设立了剑桥少儿英语考试（Cambridge Young Learners English Tests）。考试分为三个级别：一级（Starters）、二级（Movers）及三级（Flyers）。考核内容涵盖听力、口语、阅读及写作四大范畴，以生动活泼的形式激发学生的学习兴趣，并循序渐进地帮助学生提高英语水平。合格考生将获得由剑桥大学英语考试局颁发的国际认可证书。

自2019年起，丽中小学正式成为深圳市指定的两个考点之一，让内地学生在深圳也可直接参加考试。

Penmanship

磨练英文书法

English Penmanship, like Chinese characters, is also a kind of calligraphy that required constant practice. The ancient art of calligraphy has a place in the modern world, as a kind of visual art that is related to writing. Students start practicing print calligraphy from Grade One and from Grade Three onwards, students will learn cursive writing.

书法教学的过程离不开观察、分析和书写，而英语和汉字一样，书法也是需要练习的。英文书法线条优雅流畅，妙笔生花，同样是一门古老艺术。我校学生从一年级开始就练习英文书法棍棒体（print)，5-6年级用斜体和衡水体，从小训练学生的书写能力。

Hong Kong Young Writer Award

香港青年作家大赛  努力挑战自我

Hong Kong Young Writers Award (HKYWA) – Challenge Yourself & Showcase Your Talent

At Regents Primary School, we strongly encourage students to participate in various academic and creative competitions to foster their enthusiasm and initiative in learning. More importantly, these competitions help cultivate self-confidence, creativity, and perseverance. We believe that competitions are not just about winning but also about self-improvement and personal growth.

The Hong Kong Young Writers Award (HKYWA) is a prestigious English writing and cover design competition sponsored by renowned global organizations. It attracts participants from some of the top international schools in Hong Kong, including:

✔ Chinese International School (CIS)

✔ Harrow International School Hong Kong

✔ King George V School (KGV)

✔ Hong Kong International School (HKIS)

Regents Primary School students have achieved outstanding results in the HKYWA over the years, particularly excelling in Cover Art and Non-fiction Writing categories. This competition enhances students’ English writing skills, develops their logical thinking, creative expression, and critical analysis, and prepares them for a global stage.

香港青年作家大赛 挑战自我 展现才华

丽中小学一直积极鼓励学生参加各类学术及创意比赛，以激发学习的积极性和主动性，更重要的是培养自信心、创造力，以及勇往直前的精神。我们相信，竞赛不仅是知识的较量，更是自我挑战和成长的机会。

《香港青年作家大赛》（Hong Kong Young Writers Award, HKYWA）是由世界知名机构赞助的英文写作及封面设计比赛，面向全球非英语母语国家及地区的学生。该赛事吸引了众多知名香港国际学校参与，如：

✔ 香港汉基国际学校（Chinese International School）

✔ 哈罗香港国际学校（Harrow International School Hong Kong）

✔ 英皇佐治五世学校（King George V School）

✔ 香港美国国际学校（Hong Kong International School）

丽中学子在历届香港青年作家大赛中均表现卓越，尤其在封面设计（Cover Art）及非小说写作（Non-fiction Writing）比赛中屡获殊荣。比赛不仅提升了学生的英文写作技巧，更锻炼了他们的逻辑思维、创意表达和批判性思考，助力他们迈向更广阔的国际舞台。

Choral Speaking

英文朗诵

In order to improve students' self-confidence and broaden their horizons, our school provides different opportunities for students to practise their performance and language skills. Choral speaking is the art of using chorus voices to produce a piece of poetry or prose. Through the choral speaking workshops, students can learn the articulation and public speaking skills. Students can express themselves not just through words, but also through facial expressions and body language. Choral speaking also encourages a knowledge and appreciation of English literature within a poetry and prose context. Not only does choral speaking provide essential learning of English vocabulary and structures, it also allows students to learn English as a group where pressure on individuals to perfect English speaking can be eliminated.

学校每年举办不同形式的朗诵活动，提高学生自信，开阔视野，尽展所长。朗诵是一项将文学作品转化为有声语言的艺术，透过英文朗诵训练，学生可以学习朗诵技巧，如咬字吐音、声线运用、动作及表情的演绎等，而透过不同的诵材，能接触不同的文学风格，进一步培养学生对文学艺术的爱好。学习英文朗诵不但能让学生多接触英语生词和句子结构，而且还使学生能以集体的方式学习英语，从而消除个人单独以英语表达的压力。
