II Belarusian Republican Student Olympiad in Chinese

From ship to ball, this is how our state can be described when, having flown in from China, we (Svyatoslav and Angelina Aksyonchikov-Biryukov) learned that, as the most talented students of the Confucius Institute of the State University, delegated to the 2nd Belarusian Republican Student Olympiad in Chinese.

Having gathered the will into a fist, “forgetting” (of course, we worry about everything and remember everything) about the “tails” that had accumulated over two weeks of internships, about the lessons at school, about our membership in the jury at the second stage of the Chinese schoolchildren Olympiad, about that Minsk students study every day plus two hours a week with a tutor, we are going to defend the honor of the Gomel region.

The tasks, I must admit, are supercomplicated, calculated at least on the possession of Chinese at the level of HSK 5. We understand, try, fulfill. The result was, we think, quite good. And let us not be included in the prize-winning three, but we got a great experience, which, no doubt, will be useful in the future, as well as the title of the best participants from the Gomel region. This is our big victory, victory over ourselves, our doubts, our excitement.
