Word Domino

羊蹄甲的夏天

　　On the sunny afternoon of April 2nd, the members of the English Club gather in Zhangguangyi Building for a new game.

Students are divided into 6 groups. In this activity, students are requested to think of a word starting with a letter given. And the next group is suppoesd to think of another word that starts with the last letter of the previous word. For example, when a group says“light”, the next group should think of a word starting with “t”. And all the words can only be mentioned once.

What's more, with a time limit of 5 seconds, this game seems very challenging and exciting.

在这个阳光明媚的周一下午，英语俱乐部的成员们在张光嶷科学馆进行一个新游戏。

学生们被分为6个小组。在这次活动中，要求学生们想出一个以给出字母开头的单词。下一组则想另一个以前一个单词尾字母开头的单词。例如，当一个小组说“light”，下一个小组应该说出一个以“t”开头的单词。并且所有单词都只能说一遍。

此外，时间限制在5秒内，所以这个活动看上去非常有挑战性也很刺激。

　　The vice presidents of the English Club Chen Yukun and Mai Xiaowen are hosting the game. They explain patiently to everyone how the game is played in both English and Chinese. Their fluent English impresses everybody.

英语俱乐部副会长陈禹琨和麦晓雯主持这次活动。他们分别用英语和中文耐心给大家解释了游戏的规则。他们流利的英语给大家留下了深刻的印象。

　　Students are very excited, waiting for the game to start.

学生们非常激动地等待游戏开始。

　Unluckily, Group 4 is unable to give an answer within 5 seconds. Therefore they need to sing a song in front of everyone as punishment. But to everyone's surprise, the girl has a wonderful voice, which leaves a deep impression on the students.

不幸的是，第四组没能在5秒内给出答案，因此他们得在大家面前唱一首歌。但是出乎意料，这个女孩的嗓音美妙绝伦，给大家留下了深深的印象。

　　With the game going on, most groups find it more and more difficult to think of a new word. So at last every group get punished.
