Chinese Essay Competition
CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE
Essay Competition
Original Chinese essays written by Kiwi students.
The Chinese Essay Competition showcases some of the best Chinese writing of the year by New Zealand students. Open to students at New Zealand secondary schools and tertiary institutions who are non-native speakers of Chinese it is seen as an opportunity for learners to extend language skills from oral into written expression.
Since 2007, when the Confucius Institute in Auckland was launched, many Chinese learners in New Zealand schools and universities have shown their talents in writing essays in Chinese. Congratulations on their successes in language learning, and a bright future with the skill of a second or other language.
The Chinese Essay Competition has been privileged supported by the Chinese Ambassadors to New Zealand from the very beginning. Sincere gratitude to H.E. Ambassador Wang Xiaolong, and his predecessors H.E. Zhang Yuanyuan, Zhang Limin, Xu Jianguo, Wang Lutong, and Wu Xi.
