Thinking this, Pei Tiantian felt a little smug and much more comfortable. She knew they would regret saying this now when she actually won the award.
Aunt Zhou Qiao said she was sure she would win the award.
Thinking this, she walked up to Zhou Qiao and deliberately said loudly, "Aunt Zhou Qiao, can I win an award?"
Several dancing girls looked at her with expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Zhou Qiao couldn't quite describe her feelings, because the effect was different from what she had imagined.
In her opinion, the dance she taught Pei Tiantian was quite avant-garde; at least no one in a backward city like this would dance it. Pei Tiantian was so young, yet she could dance like this, which would definitely surprise the audience.
Because students from other schools are also participating in the competition, I heard that even the best elementary schools in the city are coming, and they're bringing photographers with them.
She thought this was Pei Tiantian's chance to make a name for herself.
But as she confidently watched Pei Tiantian go on stage to perform, she didn't receive a warm response from the audience for a long time, and her heart started to race.
It doesn't feel like things are developing the way I expected.
The applause was very weak at the end.
They showed absolutely no enthusiasm for performing like the others.
why is that.
Although Pei Tiantian was a little flustered due to nervousness, it was still much better than those groups of people dancing haphazardly.
At least from Zhou Qiao's perspective, that's how it is.
In her time, many children were sent to learn jazz dance, street dance, and the like at a very young age. They would confidently perform on stage and always amaze the audience, winning first place.
She nurtured Pei Tiantian under these conditions.
So I came here full of confidence.
However, a sense of uncertainty arose in her heart at this moment.
Hearing Pei Tiantian's words, she paused for a moment, then said, "Although there were some minor mistakes in the middle, the overall result is fine. Even if we can't get first place, we can definitely get second place."
Hearing her affirmation, Pei Tiantian smiled even more happily.
Although she didn't quite understand how adults judged things, nor did she know whether her jump was good or bad.
But she knew very well that if she won the award, it would prove that she was absolutely amazing.
Truly capable people are often the ones others actively seek out to befriend.
She doesn't want to try to please the girls in her class like she used to.
She wanted to be the one everyone flattered, the most popular kid in the class!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the girls indeed turned sour.
None of them dared to say they could win an award, so where did Pei Tiantian get her confidence?
The children were all competitive, and their expressions toward Pei Tiantian were even more hostile now.
On the other side, Song Yanzhi's students also went on stage to perform.
The self-introduction, delivered entirely in English, immediately drew everyone's attention.
Because their school only started offering English this year, they reportedly hired an English teacher specifically to help the children catch up with the level of other top primary schools more quickly.
Previously, people didn't pay much attention to this subject, but since the Ministry of Education announced that "English will become a compulsory subject in the college entrance examination," people have had to pay attention to it.
In recent years, with the rapid development of big cities outside, people have realized that their mountainous city is almost a decade or more behind those cities.
Although I don't like it, I don't want it to affect my child's future.
Even so, many schools still do not place too much importance on this subject.
Students treat the course like entertainment, and some even feel proud of not learning it.
Suddenly, someone went on stage, introduced themselves in English, and sang, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
They've only been in English class for a short time, and some people are already this good?
Those students who had never taken this subject seriously were all surprised.
Those of them who haven't even mastered the basics naturally can't understand how someone could learn so quickly.
Even after the song ended, no one had reacted.
Teachers from other schools were also discussing it: "When did their school start teaching English?"
"Didn't it not exist last year?"
"These students are amazing. I only started learning English in junior high school, and I still can't sing a song."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that. When we get back, let's talk to the principal about whether we should start offering English classes, otherwise our primary school will be squeezed out."
There is intense competition among students, and naturally, there is also competition within the school.
Their school lost many excellent students because its academic level couldn't keep up with the best primary schools.
Now that it's become more successful, it will naturally attract other students to transfer here.
This could make people from other schools feel threatened.
There are only two or three primary schools in the city that offer English as a subject.
But it's estimated that it won't be long before many primary schools offer this subject.
That's what Song Yanzhi thought, but it doesn't matter, because they've already won at the starting line.
After she started teaching English, she understood the future prospects, so she worked hard to persuade her students to follow along and taught them diligently to make the lessons engaging.
Although a large number of people still don't take it seriously.
However, it also produced a small number of outstanding students.
In the future, they will be grateful for their current efforts.
At least at this moment, many students regretted not studying hard enough before.
Younger children were also successfully drawn in by their curiosity.
"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, listen to them singing foreign language songs! They're amazing!" Tie Zhu excitedly grabbed Xiao Bao's hand and pulled him to look at the stage.
