We all know that English is an almost integral part of our lives. We can say that almost each of us has either taught it or is teaching it at the moment. Knowledge of English helps when traveling abroad and in career growth. But not each of us is able to afford it. There is one opportunity that will help you see the birthplace of the English language, and also allow you to evaluate your knowledge with the help of competent specialists. I'm talking about English language competitions, which, it seems to me, is necessary for everyone who has mastered or is mastering this foreign language to participate in.

Why participate in English language competitions?

First, you check your level of English proficiency and identify areas that need work and improvement. Secondly, you meet new people if competitions are not held in absentia. And, as you know, good acquaintances are always useful in life. Thirdly, if you win, you receive documented confirmation of your skills and abilities in the form of all kinds of certificates, diplomas, medals, etc. As a rule, along with a paper confirmation of your qualifications, the competition organizers present prizes, sometimes very valuable ones. You might even win a trip to the country of the language you're learning. And this is worth a lot!

Don't be afraid of English language competitions. Try your hand, and luck will definitely smile on you. At one time I took part in two English language competitions. I learned about these competitions from the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. The first was dedicated to translators and was called “European Crimea”. It was carried out in two stages: first, it was necessary to translate in writing a piece of text from English that was published in the newspaper. Then, the finalists were invited to Simferopol for the same type of activity. By the way, there I met a girl who later became my friend. I took a prize and was awarded a camera, which was not a cheap gift at that time.

The second competition was held in absentia. It was necessary to complete several tasks that were published in this newspaper throughout the month. As a result, the twenty best were selected, among which two winners were then chosen at random on air on the M1 channel. They had the opportunity to study at one of the language schools in England for two weeks. I made it to the top twenty, but then my luck changed.

Where to look for English language competitions?

First of all, I would advise you to pay attention to periodicals - now popular collections that need to be collected by publication. If I'm not mistaken, there is even one dedicated specifically to the English language. If you are a fan of the World Wide Web, you should look for English language competitions there.

For example, recently on the dictionary website ABBYY LINGVO– – The III translation championship for high school and university students recently ended, the main prize of which was a trip to the country of the language being studied. The participants in this competition were residents of Russia, Germany and Ireland. And the competition was dedicated not only to English, but also to German.

Foreign publishers of English-language literature very often organize English language competitions. For example, . This organization constantly holds competitions, olympiads, and English language tests. The prizes in these competitions are very high-quality and very expensive products for learning English (, reference books, dictionaries, multimedia publications, etc.).

If you have deep knowledge of the language, you can take part in a competition to write articles about the English language, English-speaking countries, their culture and people. For example, visit the website. The main requirements for articles are literacy, uniqueness, and loyalty. That is, the topic of the article should not offend anyone, should be presented in literate language, and the article itself should remain one of a kind, not posted anywhere before.

English language competitions can be very diverse, and you do not need to have an advanced level of language proficiency to participate in them. On the contrary, try, correct your mistakes, improve your skills and abilities, and I am sure that luck will definitely smile on you.
