今天，广州市中考正式放榜。此时此刻的你是不是正在充满希(jiao)望(xing)地看着自己的分数呢？

到这里，今年中考告一段落。即将初三的学子，明年看你们的了！在这里，小南先来为你们送本秘籍。

近日，眼尖的网友们发现，广东知名权威英文国际传播网站南方英文网的稿件成为了广州市海珠区八年级期末考试的材料。在一份《海珠区2018学年第二学期期末调研测试八年级英语试卷》上可以看到，第一题语法选择的短文正是南方英文网于2018年春节前夕在广州市海珠区许恩福广彩大师工作室举行的“外国人体验非遗广彩”的活动稿件。

Recently, netizens spotted that one of GDToday’s event articles was used in an English final test paper for the eighth grade students in Haizhu District, Guangzhou.

As you can see in the picture of the test paper, the first question, a cloze test, is based on an event organized by GDToday for its expat fans to experience how to paint Canton Porcelain at Xu Enfu’s Workshop in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, right before the Spring Festival in 2018.

近年来，咱们的高考、中考、大考小考等考试材料越来越“接地气”，也反映我国的考试开始给予考生更大的思辨空间，折射出考生对人生和社会的思考。早前，广东超人气漫画家小林的漫画成了高考作文材料，网友纷纷感叹：“莫名被暖到了！”也有网友调侃，看来高考作文要写好，小林漫画少不了。

In recent years, more and more exam questions are based on stories and materials of real life. For example, famous Guangdong cartoonist Lin Dihuan’s cartoon was used as the essay topic in the Chinese test of this year’s college entrance exam. Another example is, of course, GDToday’s event article being selected in Guangzhou’s English test paper.

今后，看来还要加一句“英语考试要考好，GDToday少不了”。在这里我们贴心地为您奉上这个“神号”的二维码！

当然，能入选英文考试材料，凭借的肯定是“杠杠的”实力。例如，这次被cue的稿件正是2018年1月19日，南方英文网组织广州本地外国友人“体验广彩”的活动。广彩传承人许恩福之女许珺茹在现场用英语向广大外国友人介绍讲解广彩文化背景、制作过程，并带领大家体验广彩瓷的绘制。赢得外国人直呼“Amazing”!不得不说，咱们广东的非遗传承人真是和国际接轨啊！

On January 19th, 2018, eight expat fans took part in GDToday’s Canton Porcelain workshop. At the workshop, Xu Junru, daughter of Xu Enfu and also a Canton Porcelain master, gave an introduction of the cultural background and the techniques of painting on porcelain in English, and guided the attendees to make their own Canton Porcelain works.

除此之外，南方英文网出了单曲《粤非颂》，带领外国人体验“微信100元游广州”。近日热播的《长安十二时辰》，其实南方英文网去年就推出了“外国人在广东的十二时辰”并斩获了广东新闻奖了哦！真的是“吹拉弹唱”样样精通！

Apart from that, GDToday has organized a great many other events for fans to experience Cantonese culture and taste authentic Cantonese cuisine as well as to share their stories in Guangdong, such as visiting flower fair, tasting Gongfu tea, writing Spring Festival couplets, and making dim sum. The feature story ‘Guangdong Expats: A day in the life’, showcasing the highlighted moments of a dozen of expats in Guangdong, even won the top news prize of the year in the province.
