Sections V to VIII are for native speakers of Mandarin or any Chinese dialect who have Chinese education in their home regions prior to migrating to Australia; such students may not participate in Sections I - IV. In the interests of fair and accurate competition, please ensure this rule is adhered to.
The writing tasks for the different sections were prepared by Chinese language teachers in the School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland.
Students should use the answer sheets as provided here and in the information packs sent to schools, and should clearly write in their name, section and school. They may use whatever writing instrument they prefer. With the exception of Section I, they may use whichever size of square-grid paper they prefer. The use of a dictionary and Hanyu textbook is permitted in Sections III to VIII in one class period.
After completion of the test, could you please assist us by selecting what you consider to be the best two entries in each Section and forward them to us for final judging (address below). The deadline for receiving entries is October 24 2011. The judging will be done by a panel of three Chinese language teachers from this School. There will be a First, Second and Third Prize for each Section. All participants will receive a Participation Certificate. Prizes will be provided by our School once results are finalised in November. In the meantime should you have any queries, please contact Contest Coordinator, Dr Wenying (Wendy) Jiang, on (07) 3365 6353 or by email at w.jiang2@uq.edu.au
