Sharing by the writer of the Gold Award:

“Top 10% in the final – that is quite an unexpected, pleasant surprise for me. My school results may not be top of the crop. Yet, I am glad to be encouraged to participate in this competition, which has proved English is not only about the score on the report card, but a tool to communicate and to connect people all over the world. Most of the topics in this competition are social issues or controversial topics for debate. When working on an essay, live in the contest arena, I found English is no longer a scoring tool, but the exquisite receptacle that carries your intricate ideas. Maybe, as my schoolmates said, my English has flaws and mistakes. Still, the imperfection does not prevent me from channeling my thoughts in English, and I am too grateful to be rewarded by the Gold Award from the English Association of Asia as recognition of my competence as an effective communicator in English. 

Therefore, I highly encourage students not to care too much about how others or yourself could have judged you, as only you and your achievements can define yourself.”
