在本次未来之城全国赛中，我们来到了北京，此次的比赛让我收获颇多，其中也不乏新的感想。在本次的比赛中，我们遇到了比我们的设计更精细的小组，也遇到了比我们更加能言善辩的小组，他们的优秀作品深刻的让我理解了什么叫人外有人，天外有天；也让我深刻的意识到了自身与团队与其他人之间的不足，相信我们以后会做的更好。

We encountered groups with even more refined designs than ours and groups that were more articulate. Their outstanding projects deeply impressed upon me the meaning of 'there's always someone better out there.' I believe we will do much better in the future.

在这次比赛中，我参观了其他组别的模型，每个模型都有别具一格的特点。在此次比赛中学会了欣赏他人的模型，看到别人模型的优点，总结我们组模型的不足之处。在整个项目过程中，我学会了如何和组员良好的配合，沟通。更重要的是我的社交方面也有所提升，在比赛中我与其他参赛选手一起讨论模型，他们的观点都为我们的演讲和答辩做出了巨大的贡献。这次比赛可以说是提升自我的一次机会。

In this competition, I learned to appreciate others' models and identify the areas where our group's model could be improved. My social skills also improved as I learned how to collaborate and communicate effectively with my team members. Everyone in the group contributed their perspectives, which were crucial in shaping our presentation and responses during the Q&A session. This experience was undoubtedly an opportunity for self-improvement.

在准备比赛时，我们感到压力很大，因为从区域赛到全国赛只有从19天，而且论文只有7天的准备时间。但是当我们真正到了比赛现场时，还是比较放松的，能够状态较好地展现我们的演讲稿。比赛时我们的状态也很好，就连我们的带队老师Rich都觉得我们做的非常好。最终荣获全国二等奖。

While preparing for the competition, we experienced significant stress because of the very tight timeline. Yet, upon arriving at the competition site, we managed to stay fairly calm and delivered our presentation in good form. In the end, this effort earned us a national second prize.
