　　At the weekly assembly, principal Larryand other teachers recapped major activities from last week.One highlight is thatMichael Zhang led members of theMUN clubto attend a MUN seminar held in Beijing No.2 middle school. Afterwards, principal Larry introduced the game of “Taboo”to urge all students to be prepared for the Taboo Competition on Wednesday. At the end, Principal Larry talked about Thanksgiving and asked us to give a round of applause to our teachers.

　　As a student here at Veritas, I enjoy weekly assembly because it feels good when all the students and teachers gather up and have this “family” conversation. To be honest, it is hard to keep me away from loving my Veritas family.

Three different groups of campaigners presented brilliant speeches respectively. These speeches were Jimmy's complains about the stupid teammate in the game of “the glory of the king”, Emma and Elle'stalk on the ways of commit suicide, as well as Celia’s speech about the Chinese dream.

　　We had a word competition called “Taboo” which was led by Mrs. Deodat on Wednesday night. First we were separated into two groups, and the leaders were Mr.Jamis and Mr. Novelous. At the beginning, there was a note which had “Mr.Jamis’ team must lose, we’ll be the winner!” on it and it made Mr. Novelous’ team’s momentum stronger than Mr. Jamis’. But the team members of Mr.Jamis weren’t losers, they foughtback with extreme enthusiasm, shouting for Mr.Jamis! Then each side’s leader was the representative, they described the words exactly and the atmosphere began to heat up.

　　Mentor

　　周四晚例行mentor時(shí)間，導(dǎo)師們帶著自己的成員用各種特別的方式討論校園話題，比如欺凌、奮斗等。在輕松的氛圍中，同學(xué)們敞開(kāi)心扉，各抒己見(jiàn)，獲益匪淺。

　　Thursday night during mentor time，our mentors employed various methods to discuss campus topics such as school bullying and striving. In a comfortable atmosphere，students opened up and shared their deepest feelings and opinions. This process is beneficial to students' moral development.

　　The tactic understanding made Mr.Novelous’ team had a good start. But the superiority began to disappear when the later students went to join thecompetition. Two teams drew with the score 24:24. At last, Mr. Novelous’ team made a small mistake in the most important round, so Mr.Jamis’ team won the game! But, honestly, no matter who the winner was, all the students and teachers had a lot of fun and solidified their understanding of these words

Every student was amazed by the drama show. This show not only does famous for its reputation but it also has six great actors. Those six actors used unique performing style to play the whole show. For instance, Romeo and his two friends totally showed that how past European nobility look like. At the end, when the play was in the falling action (Juliet and Romeo were both dead), the audiences were involved in the tragic scene and felt sorry for the love of Romeo and Juliet. By watching this show, students analyzed the character they are going to play thoroughly and learned a lot about the historical background and social context of the characters.
