On Saturday March 23, 2014, the “Chinese Bridge” Mandarin Speech Contest for University Students was held at BCIT. The topic of this Speech Contest was “Me and China” where students talked about their individual stories with China, their experience learning Chinese and their passion for Chinese culture. Out of the 15 prizes in total, UBC students won 7 of them. Congratulations to all the prize winners and every UBC student who participated in the contest! All of the instructors in the Chinese Language Program are proud of you! A big thank you also goes to our CHIN course instructors and TAs, who have put in tremendous effort in promoting the contest and helping students in their preparation. In addition, we also want to thank Nick Sabin who volunteered to be the MC for the event.
