As soon as she entered, Wang Xia led three or four teachers to sit in the front row, chatting and laughing, while cracking sunflower seeds.
Seeing Song Yanzhi approach, he showed no intention of stopping talking.
They didn't take her seriously at all.
If it weren't for Wang Xia's occasional gloating glances, Song Yanzhi would have thought they really hadn't seen her.
A group of children might see several teachers talking and start playing around with them, showing no sense of seriousness about having class.
The head of the teaching department led her to the classroom door but didn't go in, because he was afraid of putting pressure on Song Yanzhi.
He didn't know why, but Song Yanzhi gave him a very good impression, and he had a premonition that Song Yanzhi would succeed.
But some were also curious about Song Yanzhi's abilities, so they didn't leave and just stood at the door watching.
Song Yanzhi walked up to the podium. The podium table was very broken, with a box of chalk on it. The blackboard behind him was also uneven and looked very old.
And the words the teacher wrote in the last class.
Seeing the children's curious gazes, she introduced herself: "Hello, children, I am your new English teacher, Song Yanzhi. You can call me Teacher Song. I will be teaching you in the next class. If you have any questions, please raise your hand and I will answer them to the best of my ability."
Her eyes showed no sign of stage fright; she was poised and confident. Her clear voice and youthful beauty immediately drew everyone's attention.
The teachers who had been talking just moments before stopped talking and looked at Song Yanzhi.
With a slightly surprised expression, she didn't even pay attention to them, but instead acted according to their expressions and directly introduced herself to the children.
It was as if those teachers didn't exist.
For a moment, everyone's faces turned somewhat awkward.
Song Yanzhi's disregard and his nonchalant self-introduction made them seem quite impolite.
Sure enough, a child immediately raised their hand: "Teacher Song, do you teach English? Why do we have to learn English? People say it's gibberish and useless."
"Yes, learning English is unpatriotic, so we won't learn it."
One of the children stubbornly refused.
Upon hearing someone's rebuttal, Wang Xia and the others immediately looked at Song Yanzhi with schadenfreude.
Many children are still unwilling to learn English, believing that learning English is an unpatriotic act, and many people use this as an excuse.
Therefore, children nowadays are not enthusiastic about English. It is already quite remarkable if a school has a few students who are good at English.
Not to mention those who are proficient in it, those are extremely rare. Many people only realize the importance of this subject after they go to university.
Song Yanzhi listened quietly before speaking, “You might consider learning English a disgrace, but we have no choice but to learn it because others have surpassed us; our ‘enemy’ has outpaced us in terms of guns, cannons, and technological advancements. If we want to catch up with them, we must learn this language. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy can we win every battle! Only in this way can we defeat them! We must use the enemy's strengths against them! We absolutely must learn English well!”
The children fell silent immediately after hearing this.
When it comes to defeating the enemy, patriotism stirs the emotions of everyone, regardless of age or gender.
Upon hearing Song Yanzhi's words, they immediately became excited.
It turns out that they learned English not out of shame, but to defeat their enemies.
"Teacher, I want to learn."
"Yes, I will defeat them!"
A group of children waved their little fists, their faces full of excitement.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Song Yanzhi wrote the 26 letters on the blackboard.
They said they were going to teach them to sing.
Children love music and physical education classes.
Upon hearing that they were going to sing, they immediately became happy.
As the children below the stage sang English songs along with Song Yanzhi, the teachers looked at each other, too afraid to say anything.
I originally wanted to make things difficult for Song Yanzhi, but her teaching method was so simple and easy to understand that, not to mention them, even a group of children learned to write more than a dozen letters after just one lesson.
Those with good musical talent can keep up with the rhythm and sing a whole song.
Everyone suddenly realized that it wasn't so difficult after all.
And it's really fun, not boring at all.
If English class is this fun, they would want to have English class every day.
Wang Xia's face grew increasingly grim. She was waiting for Song Yanzhi to embarrass herself so she could give her a good kick.
Unexpectedly, Song Yanzhi was so adept at teaching. Not only was she not nervous, but she also taught so well, and the students all liked her very much.
The class was so relaxed and enjoyable that the forty minutes flew by.
When the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, the children hadn't finished their lesson yet and felt it was a pity. Immediately, a group of them surrounded Song Yanzhi and asked if she would still be in charge of the next class, and if she could teach it.
Hearing that Wang Xia's class was next, her already unattractive face became even uglier.
Song Yanzhi smiled and said that he would come to class every day from now on, and asked everyone to write down the alphabet they could sing when they got home. He would see who sang the best tomorrow and make him her English representative.
Everyone cheered immediately.
They all clamored that they wanted to be one.
Song Yanzhi took her notebook and left get out of class.
The head of the teaching department outside the door originally intended to listen for a while and then leave, but unexpectedly, he stood there for forty minutes before it was over.
He was still somewhat unsatisfied. In his time, he hadn't learned English, and he and a few other kids had the same idea. But after hearing what Song Yanzhi said, he suddenly understood.
When Song Yanzhi came out, he immediately raised his hand and clapped.
"Great, well said! No wonder you've won a gold medal. It was absolutely the right decision to bring you here!"
