You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors, and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s

China Daily “21st Century·Coca-Cola Cup” National English Speaking Competition provided

strong evidence to the contrary.

The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion, Zhu Xue, is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runners-up named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what? Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student, majoring in interactive media art.

Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example, Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition, a skill probably honed(磨炼) in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.

Qu Weiguo, a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges, believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂拥而来) ahead.“English majors may be superior at their language skills, but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments，” he said.

Throughout the past 20 years, contestants at the competition have transitioned(变迁) from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.

What is Eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry.
