学生会新成员终于在上周三，2016年的9月14号选举出来了。他们是新学生会长Michelle，副会长Penny，财务Lilian，媒体负责人Jerry Li，点子策划人Joanna和Benjamin。鼓掌！恭喜大家！
学生会选举开始前的一段时间里。有一些同学就早已经开始积极准备他们的演讲和海报。其他的在六楼的学生们随时可以感受到竞争和紧张的气氛并且逐渐开始关注学生会竞选。我有那个荣幸采访到了我们三位待选财务中的一员- Lilian，询问她对于这次学生会竞选的感受。她告诉我说, “真的真的很紧张，但是我需要对我想要的东西负责。”
其他的同学们都很期待这次在星期三的学生会选举，有绝大多数的学生认为这次的选举是相对公平的因为这次的投票是由全体BC课程的学生选出来的，毕竟民意所归。部分的选举人在他们的演讲上谈论了有关于学生会现状该做的事情，承诺了他们会对学生会做出一定的贡献，并且列举了他们所擅长的事情。比方来说，Jerry Li很擅长视频剪辑，他在选举当中展示了他和Michelle和Penny所共同剪辑的视频。很多学生都被震惊到了，所以他被理所当然的被选举成为媒体负责人。
这次的投票是要求学生把自己心里的人选圈出来然后老师开始数票。理所当然的，有些人被选上了，有些人落选了。Lilian说：“这次的学生会选举能让很多人学到很多东西，是很有益处的。”有此之外，我还问了与胜利失之交臂的Jerry Liang，他解释说：“即使这次没有被选举上，但是它能让我学到很多经验，我懂得了如何应对下次的困难，算是对下一次的胜利的垫脚石吧。”
与此同时，我还采访到了这次的聆听者，有一个匿名者解释说希望这次选举上的大家都能遵守自己的承诺，要让学生会发展得越来越好。另外，希望更多的男孩子能够参与其中。Jimmy解释道：”这次的学生会选举是次很好的机会，即使你的GPA不是很好，但是你有很好的人缘，你或许可以试着尝试一下。“
最后一件事，再次祝贺学生会的大家被成功选上，大家都很用心的去准备去联练习这次的演讲。学生会将来会给大家提供更好的娱乐时间以及会好好的思考接下来的万圣节和圣诞节的活动。我们以后再看。

The new members of student council were elected last Wednesday Sept. 14th of 2016. They are the new President Michelle, Vice-President Penny, Treasurer Lilian, Secretary Amber, Media Jerry Li, Spirit Commissioners Joanna and Benjamin. Congratulations!
A long time before the student council election, the candidates prepared their speeches and posters. Students could feel the competitive and serious atmosphere on the sixth floor and tried to pay attention to it. I had the honor of interviewing one of the candidates, Lilian, about how she felt before the election. “I was very, very nervous, but I think I should be responsible for what I want,” she answered.
We were all really looking forward to the speeches on Wednesday. More than half of the students think it was a fair election for all the candidates because all the students in the BC program voted. Some of the candidates talked about improving the student council and listed the things they were good at. For example, Jerry Li is good at making videos and the video students saw at the assembly that day was very impressive, so he was elected to be the media person.
The votes were written on small pieces of papers and secretly counted by the teachers. Of course, some people won and some people lost. I hope the students who won will contribute into developing the student council more. Lilian said “this student council election allowed everybody to try new things and learn from them.” And for the students that lost, I interviewed Jerry Liang in particular. He said “even though I didn’t win, I learned a lot. For example, how to respond in big cases and how to adjust my mentality, etc. I may have lost this time, but I believe it will be a cornerstone for my next success.”
I also interviewed some of the audience such as Tiffany, Jimmy and an anonymous viewer. Our anonymous person thought it would be better if more boys could participate in the election. Tiffany said the student council election was pretty fair because it provided students a wide platform to show their talents for students to choose. What’s more, Jimmy thought it was a great chance for students to express themselves. Even if your GPA was not good enough, but you had a good relationship with classmates, you would probably have a chance in the election.
One last thing, I am going to congratulations the student council again because many of the students put so much effort into it. The student council will provide more chances for all students to enjoy life at Luwan BC, including games and schedules for the upcoming Halloween and Christmas events. Let’s see what the future brings!
