杨岑获奖感言🐿：

参加这次比赛真的获益良多。一开始💂🏼‍♀️🦠，我本着学习和长见识的心态📦，想一睹各大高校选手的风采。不得不说，他们真的很厉害，英语基础功底非常扎实♔，同时不失幽默，现场气氛掌控得心应手。但是，我也看到了自己的优势🧑🏿‍🏭，在第一轮的即兴演讲中，我的逻辑比较清晰，成功晋级下午的比赛。然而👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨，下午的比赛让我发现了自己的弱项，我对图片类的即兴演讲还不是很敏感💂🏽‍♀️，需要进一步加强这方面的训练。在这里给大家提一个小小的建议🍲：英语是要靠积累的，没有输入就没有输出，活到老，学到老！

Participating in this competition made me think a lot. First, I was really impressed by the excellent performance of other contestants. Some of them have a solid knowledge of English and can easily master the sophisticated grammar, such as parallelism; others are really clever, quick thinking and humorous. I think, the greatest benefit I gained by participating in this completion is that I find my own weakness, which is lacking the ability of fast decoding picture-related information. Given another chance, I can do it better. It’s never too old to learn.
