Do you dream of being a reporter？ Come and join us! On March 15， we will hold our annual（一年一度的） competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters． Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students．
I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019﹣2020 school year． All the best，
