Updated : 25/12/2018

On November 30th, the Final Showdown of the English Olympiad for English Major Students 2018 (E4US-2018) this year took place at University of Language and International Studies – Hanoi National University, students from University of Foreign Language Studies – The University of Danang (UFLS-UD) were acclaimed to win the first prize. With a journey of 04 months spanning through 04 contests, E4US-2018 is a really helpful academic ‘playground’ for English majoring students from over 40 universities, colleges and academies.

“Unitil now, ever time I make my recollections into those fond memories, the very moments when we were acclaimed the winner of the final showdown of the English Olympiad for English Major Students always come flooding in me. It is so hard to put those feelings into words: a little nice surprise blended with a range of positive emotions of both sublimation and happiness. This is perhaps the greatest motivation and the most valuable gift that the Organising Board has awarded us for our all-out efforts and time dedicated over the past four months. From the very first day coming up with the idea to the final showdown with its decisive weighting on our presentation, our team has encountered an array of difficulties. Yet, with the tremendous help and support from our dearest teachers and Youth union staff, we have managed to triumph over the hurdles and accomplished our competing session. At the Seminar before the final showdown, our team convinced the Panel and the audience of our short impromptu but eloquent presentation (with the topic given 10 minutes before) and of our immense critical and creative thinking, which is very characteristic of UFLS-UD students. Our efforts were then justly and worthilly rewarded by the Panel at the Final Showdown of the English Olympiad for English Major Students 2018.” This is what has been shared by Dương Nguyễn Tuệ Giang from Class 15SPA02, team leader of the Olympic team of UFLS-UD after the Final Showdown E4US-2018 taking place at University of Language and International Studies – Hanoi National University on November 30th 2018.
