All the instructors won the title of excellent instructors.
Speaking of this competition, Ma Shuang said, “During the whole preparation process, I enjoyed practicing the impromptu speech with instructor Yang Jie. Each time, it was not only a communication with her, but also a dialogue with myself. I found my own shortcomings and gradually clarified the things I love. I will continue to try, to explore, and to find myself!” Li Zhongjie said: “I think the competition of FLTRP is very comprehensive, in particular, when mentioning the logical analysis questions, which can be hardly met in ordinary examination despite its importance.”
This competition not only shows the excellent education level of our school, but shows the elegant demeanor of our students. We are looking forward more splendid accomplishments in the new season of 2021.
