Chapter 194 Come Back

This time, Namir was able to benefit from her. Although many of his courses were different from Zhang Wei's, she had found some information for him by piecing together some information in the club, which made Namir feel like he had found a treasure.

The exam was to be held within a week, and the first test was the oral language course. This was relatively easy for Zhang Wei because she only knew two languages: English and Spanish.

Many students choose four or five subjects because several languages belong to the same language family and are easier for native speakers to master, just like dialects in China.

This is the case with the languages of many European countries. There is not much difference between neighboring languages between countries. Languages like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian may be difficult for a non-native speaker like Zhang Wei, but for local people, the difference is not as big as that between Mandarin and Cantonese.

So when Zhang Wei heard people speaking five languages before, she used to think that these people were geniuses. But now that she seems to have learned a few languages by piecing them together, it doesn’t seem so legendary to her anymore. After all, there are many people in China who can speak several dialects.

The English oral test is not as simple as imagined. There are some professional terms in it. After all, this is my mother tongue.

Zhang Wei drew a topic related to medicine, which was considered to be relatively difficult. However, Zhang Wei had originally aspired to study pharmacy, and the materials she had read also contained relevant knowledge, so her expression was clear and her word choice was precise, and unsurprisingly, she got an A*.

There are still certain differences between spoken and written English, but since this is the spoken language for a formal exam, appropriate grammar is still required. Because daily spoken language is more casual, you don't have to worry about using non-standard words, but this is not allowed in exams, and this is also where native speakers often make mistakes.

When Zhang Wei first went to New York, Namier complained about this, saying that she spoke "too pretentiously." At that time, Zhang Wei had not yet figured out the difference between spoken and written language.

Although Zhang Wei's accent already sounds like a native speaker, it has become a habit for her to go over the grammar in her head, so she can switch to formal occasions freely.

In comparison, the Spanish oral test is much simpler, so simple that Zhang Wei felt that she could pass the French she had just learned. It is no wonder that so many people sign up for multiple language courses. After all, university admission is largely based on the number of A scores and above.

If the oral exam is considered an appetizer, then the twelve written exams are the main course.

The goal Zhang Wei set for herself was to allow herself to get an A in only one subject at most, and to make sure she got an A* in the others, so that she would be more stable.

Because according to Oxford's previous admissions, ordinary majors only require eight A* grades, but for a highly competitive major like pharmacy, ten A* grades are not particularly reliable, not to mention that the grades in the two years of high school and other aspects also need to be considered.

Therefore, in order to reduce future stress, getting at least eleven A*s is a relatively safe result.

Zhang Wei gave this only chance to make a mistake to music, and did not give her the physical challenge that she had always treated as a formidable enemy.

Because she put a lot of effort into physics, she would break it down and study it over and over again if she didn't understand anything about electromagnetism and mechanics, and do experiments over and over again. She would ask physics teachers to explain it to her and ask them to give her individual questions. In the end, she could keep her accuracy rate above 98% when doing physics tests given by others.

As for music, the teacher knows her level. She can do well in the theoretical exam, but as for the performance, I hope she can give her a higher score if she doesn't make any mistakes. It is impossible to expect her to perform with any spirit.

So in the last week she didn't care whether she would disturb others or not. After all, everyone was practicing and no one could say anything to anyone else. Her performance would depend on the situation at that time, because the piece to be performed was drawn from among several.

Zhang Wei's mental state was still okay, and she performed smoothly. However, the result was not beyond her expectations, only an A. Now she hopes that the written test score can be raised to A*.

The results of the interview and oral exam were announced on the spot, but the written exam results would have to wait for more than half a month, so after the exam, Zhang Wei went home and waited with peace of mind. After all, she had done what she could.

When Zhang Wei got home and saw Manny with a messy beard and a scruffy look, he almost thought there was a thief in the house.

"Vera! Long time no see!" He happily ran over and hugged Zhang Wei. The unfamiliarity made Zhang Wei afraid to speak.

"Manny?!"

Who can accept that a quiet and handsome boy with good manners suddenly turns into a sloppy young man with a beard?

But he didn't mind Zhang Wei's temporary unfamiliarity. Instead, he touched his cheek and asked:

"How is it? Isn't it much more handsome?"

"Well, he does look a lot more mature," Zhang Wei said carefully.

Although Manny seemed to be in good condition, Zhang Wei still asked with concern: "How are you doing?"

"It wasn't very good at the beginning, you know? Not long after I went there, I fell seriously ill, and then a friend left me. Fortunately, the new friends I met have been taking care of me."

When Zhang Wei heard this speculation, he wondered if this new friend was arranged for him by Charles?

"Just when I was feeling extremely depressed, you know what? I saw my dad and mom!"

"God, you have no idea how touched I am! It turns out that the value of my life is not just what I have done for myself, but what I can do for the people who love me."

It seems that Emma and the others went there at the right time last summer vacation, which made Manny figure it out completely.

Zhang Wei nodded: "Mom and Dad just hope that you can be safe and healthy, and so do we. What happened next?"

"Actually, I wanted to come back after I recovered from my illness, but my father talked to me a lot. We had never had such a deep conversation before."

"After the conversation, I decided to complete the plan I had made. It was a way to be responsible for my past self, and I gained a lot!"

Manny's eyes began to shine as he spoke, and he continued:

"I went to see the scenery of every place and saw the famous buildings and bridges in various places. I found that I still have a strong passion for engineering, but it's not the mechanical engineering I studied before, but construction engineering."

"Congratulations! You're awesome!"

Zhang Wei saw that his appearance was indeed very different from his previous state. It seemed that he had indeed found his life goal, and she was happy for him.

In fact, Zhang Wei was a little worried that he would not be able to get over this belated rebellious period. This would not only cause headaches for his parents, but also worry his brothers and sisters. Even Namier would remind Zhang Wei, fearing that she would suddenly have some strange ideas.

"What do you want to do next? Have you gone back to school?"

Although Charles had helped him to drop out of school, his school was not open to anyone.
