Sichuan Province is in the southwest of China, far from the coast. The capital city, Chengdu, is full of historical and cultural legacy. In the past, many literary masters have lived here. Their residences have become places where citizens can enjoy themselves in their spare time. They can relax in the tranquility of the day; but in the night, the whole city enters a hot atmosphere: hotpot and spicy flavored crabs are inevitables on the dinner table. These represent a 'hot' life. Recently, another hot event going on in Chengdu is the upcoming Chengdu section of CCTV's fourth annual Star of Outlook English Talent Competition.
Having had three successful experiences, CCTV's Star of Outlook English Talent Competition set up a regional competition area in west China.
In the Sichuan regional competition area, people signed up to enter in a collective way. Within as short as only one month, nearly a thousand people from 24 schools in the city have signed up. This competition, among all the others of a similar type in Sichuan, has involved in the most participants.
Many schools have to organize their own selective competition because of the large number of students who have signed up. The schools hope to send the best contestants to the competition in this way.
There are finally 45 contestants of the children's, teenagers and adults' groups who made it to the semifinals.Wang Zhengyang has taken part in many competitions and is quite experienced. We can expect a good performance from him in the final!
After the heated competition, the final winners are no doubt very excited.
In fact, the purpose of the Star of Outlook English Talent Competition is precisely to enhance the enthusiasm of the public to study English.
Selecting people with good command of English in the western areas and helping people in the west realize the importance of English was also our purpose in setting up a regional competition in Chengdu. Let's hope that they will give a good performance in the national final and show the talents and abilities of the west.

四川省是我國西南部的一個內陸省份，其省會成都是一座歷史文化名城，歷史上許多文人墨客都在此留下過他們的足跡。他們所遺留下來的故居也成為了許多成都人休閒的好去處，他們在這裡享受著那份清靜與安寧。可是一到了晚上，整個城市就會進入到一種火辣辣的氣氛之中，火鍋、香辣蟹是飯桌上必不可少的佳肴，這代表著一種紅紅火火的生活。最近在成都同樣紅火的還有即將舉行的中央電視臺“第四屆希望—之星英語風采大賽”成都分賽區的比賽。
已經成功舉辦過三屆的中央電視臺“希望—之星英語風采大賽”，今年是首次在西部設立分賽區。
採訪 :四川分賽區的比賽主要採用集體報名的方式，在短短的一個月時間裏，全市就有24個學校的近千人報名參加。參與人數之多、涉及面之廣，在四川省的同類型比賽中還是首次。由於報名人數太多，很多學校都不得不事先組織了自己的選拔賽，力求將最優秀的選手送到比賽中。
最終通過初賽、復賽的選拔，小學、中學、大學三組選手共有45人參加最終的角逐。
組織方：“我們希望能通過一些行動幫助社會，讓更多的人參與這個活動，讓他們有更多的機會説英語。去鼓勵更多人在公共場合講英語。”
王正陽是《希望-英語雜誌》的忠實觀眾，也是今年小學組的參賽選手，明天就要進行決賽了，現在他正在家中做最後準備。
採訪：（王正陽）我經常收看（希望-英語挑戰賽），這個節目很有意思。選手們的英語都非常好。我也非常想到北京（參加比賽）。
參加過多次比賽的王正陽可謂是經驗豐富，讓我們期待他能在決賽中取得好成績。通過如此激烈的比賽，最終獲勝的選手自然是十分興奮。
採訪：我感到很激動，今天晚上就像做夢一樣，我實現了我的夢想，我真的感到很興奮。
我十分高興，我會在北京總決賽中更加努力。
承辦方：“我相信只要有機會，四川人都會很願意參加這樣的英語比賽，我們希望今後能繼續承辦這樣的比賽。”
舉辦“希望之星英語風采大賽”的目的正是為了促進全民學習英語的熱情。選拔西部地區的優秀英語人才人才，使西部地區的人民認識學習英語的重要性，也是我們在成都舉辦分賽區的目的。讓我們祝願三名選手在全國總決賽中會有好的表現，展示出西部人的風采。
