The series activities of 8th English Culture and Art Festival lasted for about a month, including English Calligraphy Contest, English Recitation Contest, English Listening and Speaking Contest and English Dubbing Contest. Affected by the epidemic, the scale of this English Culture and Art Festival is smaller than that of the activities before the outbreak of the epidemic, but students are actively signing up. There are a large number of participants in the online activities, which greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the students of JMI to learn English and improve their comprehensive English literacy.
