Dear Frank ,
I am glad to learn you are interested in the popular TV talent show “Chinese Poetry Competition ”and want to participate .You asked me for advice ,so I have like to give you a hand .
First,I suggest you should surf the Internet to learn about the history of poetry so that you can know Chinese poetry better .There are many websites related to Chinese poetry where you can get what you need .Second ,you have better recite as many poems as possible and communicate more with students who are also fond of poetry .Additionally ,knowing how to enter for the competition and watching several previous episodes will get you well prepared .
Hope you can make progress in poetry learning .Good luck in the competition !
Best wishes ,
