　　三、比赛演讲稿

　　Lovely Christelle

　　My little cousin Christelle, Her Chinese name is Tian Tian. Last year, she came back from US for summer vacation. She was very proud of herself of traveling alone from San Francisco to Beijing. Christelle is such a pretty girl that everyone in the family loves her.

　　Although Christelle is only ten year old, her life is already full of unique and interesting stories. She was born in Paris, France. She moved to Montreal, Canada when she was three and a half. Then she moved to U.S.A three years ago. Now Christelle is a Grade Five student in Silicon Valley, California. She doesn't have any homework during the weekends, spring breaks and summer vacations. But she loves to read on her own. She has finished already all of four Harry Potter books published so far.

　　When Christelle was in Paris and Montreal, her primary language was French. Now she can speak English very well but her French is getting more and more rusty. She doesn't know much about reading and writing in Chinese. One day she asked me: “Chinese one has one line, two has two lines, three has three lines, so the number four must have four lines? Right?” oh! Such a funny idea!Christelle is always puzzled and amazed by the ways the family members call each other: ”Why mother’s brother is called Jiu Jiu, but father’s brother is Shu Shu?;Why mother’s mother is called Lao Lao, but father’s mother is Nai Nai? It’s so hard to remember them all!!!”.By the way, Christelle is my cousin on my mother’s side. Her father is the oldest brother of my mother. Christelle is so pretty and pure, I love her .可爱的Christelle

　　我的表妹小Christelle，她的中文名字叫天天。去年她从美国回来过暑假，她非常骄傲自己能独自从旧金山飞往北京，她是一个非常可爱的女孩，我们全家人都非常爱她。

　　尽管Christelle现在只有十岁，她的经历确是很特别也是很有趣的故事。她出生在法国巴黎，三岁半的时候移民到加拿大蒙特利尔，三年前到了美国。

　　现在她是加州硅谷五年级的学生。周末、春假、暑期她都没有任何作业，但是她自己喜欢读书，已经全部读完了哈里波特四集。

　　当Christelle在巴黎和蒙特利尔的时候，她的法语非常好。现在她的英语最好却差不多把法语忘记了。她几乎不会读写汉语，有一天她问我：“中国的一是一横，二是两横，三是三横，那么四就是四横吗？对不对？”噢！多么有趣的想法！她对中国的称谓也非常迷惑：“为什么妈妈的弟弟叫舅舅，爸爸的弟弟叫叔叔？妈妈的妈妈叫姥姥，爸爸的妈妈叫奶奶？这太难记了”。顺便说明一下，Christelle是我妈妈的亲戚，她的爸爸是我妈妈的大哥。

　　Christelle如此纯美可爱，我好爱她！
