w88 casino News Network (Reporter Chen Zihan Photography Gao Tianhao)Farewell to the golden autumn harvest season, ice and snow are coming, and winter is also particularly exciting. On December 11, 2018, in the International Conference Hall on the third floor of Ningyuan, the 6th UIBE Foreign Language and Closing Ceremony and the special lecture of figure skating Olympic champion Zhang Dan, "Learning with Ice", were held as scheduled. This "Foreign Language Season" brings together a variety of activities such as dialect competitions, "Good books grow with you" themed activities, international knowledge competitions, and off-site puzzle photography competitions, adding a bright touch to students' extracurricular life in more than a month.
Li Yan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, and Zhang Ye, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages, attended the closing ceremony. At the beginning of the closing ceremony, Li Yan delivered a speech. He summarized the results of the foreign language season activities and also mentioned the important role of sports as "warm sun in winter". He shared his sports experience with the students and mentioned that "sports activities not only mean competition, but also an important regulator of study and life."
Figure skating is an ice sport that combines skill and artistry. It has a broad mass base in northern my country and brings an elegant aesthetic experience to the audience. As China is qualified to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, this event invited Olympic figure skating champion Zhang Dan to share his career experiences and personal insights with the students present.
Zhang Dan has been involved in figure skating since he was a child. He has represented China in many world-class figure skating competitions. At the 2006 Turin Olympics, despite being injured after failing to perform a quadruple jump, he tenaciously returned to the field to complete the competition and win the silver medal. Putting aside the honor and halo, Zhang Dan is even more grateful for himself who continues to persevere in the face of pain and regret. "The moment when the national flag is rising is the moment when you can feel the responsibility of being an athlete the most. At that moment, what you think of is the support of the increasingly powerful motherland, dance partners, coaches and family behind you, and the self who still works hard in the face of hardships." Faced with occasional loss and resistance, Zhang Dan gave advice based on the reality of contemporary college students, "Victory sometimes means persisting a little longer." She believes that while persisting, one should also leave flexibility in life, maintain a high spirited state, and gradually relieve stress. "Sports is a belief." Zhang Dan said in response to a question. Sports can bring unique experiences to people and allow them to see their "super" self.
At the closing ceremony, four students were invited to the stage. Zhang Dan taught them the classic figure skating closing moves. Her every move showed the beauty of her body, which received positive responses and unanimous praise from the audience.
After the event, Sun Yiming from the Portuguese Department of the w88 casino of Foreign Languages was deeply touched. After listening to Zhang Dan’s narration, she became more interested in ice sports. “As college students, we must also have the spirit of sports people, constantly strive for goals, and maintain a high spirit.”
This foreign language season has enriched the lives of students and contributed a lot of excellent results under the guidance of the original intention of creating a foreign language learning atmosphere. "Show your foreign language style, and the world is right in front of you." The closing ceremony of the 6th UIBE Foreign Language Season and the special lecture by Olympic figure skating champion Zhang Dan on "Learning with Ice" came to a successful conclusion.
