Summer Reading Contest 纽约时报夏季读写比赛
Every year since 2010, The Learning Network has invited teenagers around the world to add The New York Times to their summer reading lists. So far, more than 70,000 have done so.
If you are looking for ways to offer students more “voice and choice,” we hope our open-ended contest can help. Every week, we ask participants to choose something in The Times that has piqued their interest, and then tell us why. At the end of the week, judges from the Times newsroom pick their favorite responses, and we publish them. It’s that simple.
Though our goals include some that appear on many educators’ lists — helping students become more aware of the world and their place in it; learning how to navigate sophisticated nonfiction; and practicing writing for an audience — we also hope that students will realize that reading the newspaper can be fun. As you’ll see in the guidelines below, they can choose anything that was published on NYTimes.com in 2021. The subject matter isn’t important; we just care about why they chose it.
2010年起,《纽约时报》每年夏天都会举办的夏季读写比赛,目前全球有超过 8万名中学生参加比赛。

阅读一个国家的主流报刊,理解报刊上数万字背后的一系列背景信息、暗示和隐喻,才能真正理解一个国家的公共舆论。这是每一个国际学生都应当具备的国际形势观察思考分析能力。
“我们热衷于举办这个比赛,因为它让学生关注世界,找到他们想要改变的问题,不论大小。
我们相信,阅读一个国家的主流报刊,理解报刊上除了字面意思以外的一系列背景信息、暗示和隐喻,才能真正理解一个国家的公共舆论。”
Contest Guidelines
1. Every Friday beginning on June 11, we will publish a post asking the same question: “What got your attention in The Times this week?” That’s where you should post an answer any time until the following Friday, when we will close that post to comment and open a new one that asks the same question. On Aug. 13 we’ll post our final question of the summer, open until midnight on Aug. 19.
2. You can choose anything you like that was published in the print paper or on NYTimes.com in 2021, including articles, Op-Eds, videos, graphics, photos and podcasts.
3. You can participate as often as every week, but we allow only one submission per person per week.
4. Responses must be 1,500 characters or fewer. We have a contest rubric as well as a guide for students that details four simple ways to make your response stand out.
5. Any teenager anywhere in the world is invited to join us, if you are in middle or high school, or if you graduated from high school in 2021 and haven’t started college yet.
6. Make sure to provide us with the complete URL or headline. For example, “A Man Found 15,000 Bees in His Car After Grocery Shopping” or https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/us/bees-car-new-mexico.html.
7. Every Tuesday during the contest, starting June 29 and ending Sept. 7, we will publish a previous week’s winner or winners in a separate post.
