Later, I took the IELTS and scored 7 (with 8 in reading).

三、学科竞赛及科研探索（学术背景）
III. Academic Competitions and Research Exploration (Academic Background)

学科竞赛是是淬炼思辨锋芒与跨文化表达力的熔炉，也是搭建文明对话的实践桥梁。为了提高自己的专业能力，提升自己的英语表达水平，锻炼自己的批判思维，我积极加入到学院的英语辩论队和演讲队。因高效负责，细心耐心，抗压坚韧，在二年级被选为两个队伍的队长，组织了上百场训练，十余场模拟比赛和校际交流，体现出较出色的组织协调，沟通表达和解决问题的能力。我获得了2025年第27届“外研社.国才杯”全国大学生英语辩论赛国家级金奖，2024年“外研社.国才杯”“理解当代中国”国际传播综合能力赛项国家级银奖，2024年CUDC中国大学生英语辩论赛全国一等奖，2024年第29届“21世纪杯”全国英语演讲比赛全国二等奖，2024年“高教社杯”大学生“用外语讲好中国故事”短视频大赛国家级一等奖。还有一些省级和校级奖项，在此就不做赘述。
Academic competitions are a forge for honing critical thinking and cross-cultural expression, and a practical bridge for cultural dialogue. To enhance my professional skills, improve my English proficiency, and develop my critical thinking, I actively joined the college's English debate team and speech team. Due to my efficiency, responsibility, patience, and resilience under pressure, I was elected as the captain of both teams in my sophomore year, organizing over a hundred training sessions, more than ten simulated competitions, and inter-collegiate exchanges, demonstrating my excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. I won the National Gold Award at the 27th "Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. China Talent Cup" National College Students' English Debate Competition in 2025, the National Silver Award at the "Understanding Contemporary China" International Communication Competition in 2024, the National First Prize at the CUDC China College Students' English Debate Competition in 2024, the National Second Prize at the 29th "21st Century Cup" National College Students' English Speech Competition in 2024, and the National First Prize at the "High Education Press Cup" College Students' "Telling China's Story in Foreign Languages" Short Video Competition in 2024. I also won several provincial and school-level awards, which I will not elaborate on here.

在这些大大小小的比赛中，我享受到同道中人进行思想碰撞、文化交流与价值传递的无比快乐。同时，在世界语境中努力校准文化叙事坐标，为未来的学术研究注入鲜活的时代命题与问题意识。
In these various competitions, I have enjoyed the joy of intellectual 碰撞, cultural exchange, and value transmission with like-minded individuals. At the same time, I have been working to align my cultural narrative with the global context, infusing my future academic research with vibrant contemporary issues and problem awareness.

在科研探索上，作为答辩人和核心成员，我参加了2024年第十四届“挑战杯”秦创原中国大学生创业计划竞赛，获得了国家级银奖。该项目是针对“一带一路”中文学习低龄化需求，团队翻译创作中华儿歌，开发多模态资源库，结合翻译、国际中文教育、音乐跨学科研究，旨在推动文化传播。作为传唱人、推广者、答辩人和核心成员，我还参加了2024年建行杯四川省国际大学生创新大赛，获得了省级金奖。该项目完成原创儿歌创作及多语种适配，项目获多国孔子学院应用推广，提升中华文化国际传播效能。在老师的引领下，我还参与了2023年四川省哲学社会科学“十四五”规划2023年度项目：基于学习者体验的“用外语讲好中国故事”能力培养实证研究，提供4.5万字质性文本，支撑“讲好中国故事”能力培养模型的创新构建与实证验证。
In research and exploration, as a presenter and core member, I participated in the 14th "Challenge Cup" Qianchuanyou China University Students' Entrepreneurship Plan Competition in 2024 and won a national silver award. The project addressed the need for low-age Chinese language learning along the "Belt and Road," with the team translating and creating Chinese children's songs, developing a multimodal resource library, and combining translation, international Chinese education, and interdisciplinary music research to promote cultural dissemination. As a singer, promoter, presenter, and core member, I also participated in the 2024 Jianhang Cup Sichuan Province International University Innovation Competition and won a provincial gold award. The project completed original children's song creation and multilingual adaptation, with the project applied and promoted by multiple Confucius Institutes, enhancing the effectiveness of international dissemination of Chinese culture. Under the guidance of my teachers, I also participated in the 2023 Sichuan Province Philosophy and Social Sciences "14th Five-Year Plan" 2023 project: Empirical Research on the Cultivation of the Ability to Tell Chinese Stories Well Based on Learner Experience, providing 45,000 words of qualitative text to support the innovative construction and empirical validation of a model for cultivating the ability to tell Chinese stories well.

演讲、辩论等竞赛提供高压、真实的语言运用场景，迫使我在限定时间内精准、流畅、有逻辑地表达观点，极大锻炼了临场反应、心理素质和语言组织能力。参加科创活动时，反复的打磨，激烈的竞赛，都是磨练心理素质、培养坚韧毅力的宝贵经历。而科研研究要求严谨的学术语言、规范的文献引用和清晰的逻辑论证，让我在高级书面表达能力、信息处理能力和批判性思维上得到了初步的锻炼。通过在学科竞赛、科创活动和科学研究中的有益尝试和大胆实践，让我直观感受到语言作为文化载体与沟通桥梁的磅礴力量，向纵深拓展了我的专业学习，提升了我的综合素质和学习能力。更重要的是，帮助我跳出单一学科的框架，拓宽了我的眼光视野，学会从更广阔的视角审视语言现象。从中，我理解了语言绝非悬浮于真空的抽象符号，它深深扎根于特定的社会、文化与历史土壤，逐渐对语言的社会维度产生了浓厚兴趣，产生了深入探究语言本质奥秘的渴望，想对语言学进行系统性追问。
Public speaking and debate competitions provide high-pressure, realistic language use scenarios, forcing me to express my views accurately, fluently, and logically within a limited time, greatly enhancing my ability to respond on the spot, my psychological resilience, and my language organization skills. During the process of participating in innovation and entrepreneurship activities, repeated refinement and intense competition are invaluable experiences that hone my psychological resilience and foster perseverance. Research, on the other hand, requires rigorous academic language, standardized citation of literature, and clear logical argumentation, which initially trained my advanced written expression skills, information processing abilities, and critical thinking. Through beneficial attempts and bold practices in academic competitions, innovation and entrepreneurship activities, and scientific research, I have gained a vivid understanding of the power of language as a cultural carrier and communication bridge, deepening my professional learning and enhancing my overall qualities and learning abilities. More importantly, it helped me transcend the confines of a single discipline, broadening my horizons and teaching me to examine language phenomena from a wider perspective. From this, I came to understand that language is not an abstract symbol floating in a vacuum but is deeply rooted in specific social, cultural, and historical contexts. This gradually sparked my interest in the social dimensions of language and my desire to delve into the mysteries of language, prompting me to systematically question language.

四、未来规划
Four. Future Plans

我将怀揣对语言学纯粹的热爱和对知识边界的好奇，在学术道路上坚定前行，永不言弃。
I will carry forward my pure love for linguistics and my curiosity about the boundaries of knowledge, resolutely advancing on the academic path without giving up.

Language is not just a tool for communication; it is also a code for cognition, a carrier of thought, and a crystallization of culture. Analyzing language rules and interpreting language phenomena, the responsibility and social value behind linguistic research are profound. I yearn to receive systematic and rigorous academic training on this fertile ground for linguistic research at your esteemed institution, under the guidance of my mentors, starting from the basics and delving deeper into the mysteries of language. I believe that through dedicated study and accumulation, I can bring vitality to your academic community, contributing to the exploration of how language plays a more critical role in the grand narrative of building a community with a shared future for mankind. In the vast constellation of future linguistic research, I hope to gradually find my own place, even if it is small.
