We have a radio club in our school. It is great because it is run by students for the school. I am lucky as I am one of the hosts.
我们学校有个电台俱乐部，是由学校的学生管理,因此很棒。我也很幸运的成为了其中的一位主持人。
It was started two years ago. One day, I just began thinking about music for everyone, so I asked the headmaster if music could be played during break times. He approved the idea, and two year later I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member. Our club is much more than just music. Every morning we tell our schoolmates about the weather, recent news, and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast.
电台俱乐部两年前创办。有一天，我想把英语播给每个人听，所以我问了班长是否能在休息时间放英语。他同意了我的想法。两年后的现在，我已经成为掌管俱乐部的元老。我们的俱乐部远不止于播放音乐，每天早上我们都带给同学们天气资讯，最近新闻以及一些老师希望我们播放的特别消息。
During exam time we have a special programme that tells students the things they should do for preparation. At the end of the school year, many students who are graduating use our club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.
考试期间，我们制作了一个特别的栏目，专用于告诉同学们考前应该怎么准备考试。学期期末，很多的同学通过我们的电台给他们最好的朋友和老师送上祝福。
When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers, we often play songs sung by students, and we also give messages to inform the parents of events such as outing and school plays.
每当有家长来学校和老师谈话时，我们经常播出一些同学们唱的歌，我们也给家长们提供些活动信息，比如短途旅行，校园剧。

Our school club ‘Poets of the Next Generation’ is a literary club that was started by our English teacher Mr Owen.
我们的校内俱乐部“下一代诗人”是由我们的英语老师欧文先生发起的一个文学俱乐部。
We meet on the last Friday of every month to talk about poems and poets that we like. 每个月的最后一个星期五我们会聚在一起讨论喜爱的诗歌和诗人。
In the club meetings, we first select poems that we love, and then read them aloud. 聚会的时候，我们首先挑选出我们喜爱的诗歌，再朗诵这些诗歌。
We also discuss poems in our meetings. 我们还在聚会时讨论诗歌。
When I attended the first meeting, I was required to write a poem and I had to read it to the club. 我第一次参加聚会的时候，被要求写一首诗，还得当着俱乐部成员的面进行朗诵。
I was a little nervous at first, but everyone was so nice and friendly that I soon stopped worrying. 起初我觉得有些紧张，但所有的成员都是那么亲切、友好，我很快就不担心了
Once read a poem about nature in the school courtyard.
有一次，我在学校花园里朗诵了一首表现大自然的诗歌。
I chose an old tree and gathered everyone under it before I read. 朗诵前，我选择了一棵老树，把大家都聚集在树下。
The club members said it was one of the best compositions they had heard. (Bob Shaw) 俱乐部成员们都说那是他们听过的最好的诗歌之一。(鲍勃 肖)
