　　There are a lot of people here!
        　　Well, everyone wants to come to the school dance. The trouble is, I want to get some good photos, but I can't see over people's heads.
        　　Are you going to enter the photo competition?
        　　You bet! By the way, is that He Zhong at the front? What's he doing here?
        　　Same as you!
        　　Who's He Zhong?
        　　He's the photographer who won the photo competition last time!
        　　The one who won the photo competition last summer?
        　　That's right.
        　　Shh! It's the Blues Boys playing! It's the band which gets everyone dancing.
        　　Those drums are really loud! Maybe I'll go upstairs.
        　　OK, but look after your camera!
        　　(Later…)
        　　Hi, Tony. How did you get on?
        　　Fine. I got some great shots of the boy who plays the guitar on the left. Where is He Zhong?
        　　He left early. There was something wrong with his camera.
        　　Great! Now I'm in with a chance to win!
        　　But, Tony… Where's your camera?
        　　It's here, in my bag. Oh no, it's gone!
        　　You're kidding!
        　　But I had it a minute ago. Perhaps I left it upstairs…
        　　He's quite unhappy.
        　　His father is the person who will be most unhappy.
        　　Hi, everyone!
        　　Oh! Mr Smith! Help! I mean…hello! Tony? Er, we didn't expect to see you!
        　　I've just come to pick Tony up. Did he try out my camera?

        　　We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.
        　　The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.
        　　The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It's 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.
        　　The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.
        　　A collection of photos called "The Many Faces of Our City" which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.
        　　Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize-giving ceremony at the end of this month.
