A student from the University of Macau (UM), Li Xiang, excelled in the ‘2024 “FLTRP·ETIC Cup” “Understanding Contemporary China” National Foreign Language Contest for College Students’ and won a third prize in the International Communication Comprehensive Ability category of the English group. A total of 700,000 students from over a thousand institutions in 31 provinces participated in various categories of the contest. After 10 months of preliminaries, semi-finals, and provincial finals, 1,138 contestants advanced to the national finals for the International Communication Comprehensive Ability category.
Li is a second-year student in the Faculty of Business Administration and Stanley Ho East Asia College and has previously won a second prize in the 23rd Macao-wide English Speech Contest and a first prize in the 29th ‘21st Century Cup’ National English Speaking Competition. Li impressed the judges and audience with her exceptional English public speaking skills and creativity and reached the national finals. Notably, she was the only contestant from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area among the finalists. Li’s outstanding performance was also attributed to Chan Ka Lon, an instructor in the English Language Centre, and Lei Ut Meng, a doctoral student in the Department of English, who provided her with professional training and guidance throughout the contest.
