Looking at the young couple sitting in the front row, Aizhen smiled rarely.
Aizhen is very thin, not the slenderness of an ordinary girl. She is even skinny. Her legs are about as thick as the arms of a slightly fatter person. She is so thin that she looks a little pathological. In fact, a few years ago, she suffered from anorexia due to physical problems, so she always gives people the impression that she has lost too much weight.
But she dresses very intellectually, has an elegant temperament, and behaves very appropriately.
Young people are so nice. Looking at the boys and girls at the front table all wearing plaid shirts, Aizhen felt better.
"Today I would like to introduce you to a famous Spanish poet, Lorca."
Aizhen said in English.
Li Weijin's English is pretty good. He originally planned to study abroad, but he was forced to take the IELTS several times and his results were not ideal. However, his spoken English is still good. His brother is very annoying and often makes fun of him in English. His mother is also very exaggerated. Because she loves luxury goods, she forced herself to learn English. She also has to have English conversations at home from time to time. It is impossible for her to not understand what her family members are saying.
But he had never been exposed to Spanish before. He came here specifically because he knew Xiaoqi was taking the elective course.
He knew that Xiaoqi was very serious and didn't like casual people. Although he came, he planned to listen to the class carefully and didn't want to influence Xiaoqi. Sitting at the same table shouldn't be an influence since Xiaoqi was so serious.
Xiaoqi: ...actually it does have an impact.
She wasn't used to having a sweet-smelling boy sitting next to her.
However, the class started first and the teacher had already arrived. She didn't want to argue with Li Wei Jin, so she ignored her and listened to the class attentively.
"There's a city in Spain called Granada. There's a pomegranate on the city emblem, so 'pomegranate' is 'Granada' in Spanish."
Aizhen has a very gentle voice and speaks English in a leisurely manner. She doesn't teach in a deliberate way, so you learn knowledge without realizing it and remember it very clearly.
"Granada is a very romantic city. It can be said to be the epitome of Lorca's poetry. Walking around Granada, you can read Lorca's poems everywhere. Today we are studying 'The Ballad of the Three Waters,' one of Lorca's most famous poems. This poem is inscribed on the bridgehead of an ordinary little bridge on the banks of the Genil River. I will recite it first in English and then in Spanish. It is a beautiful poem, perfect for those in love."
After saying this, Aizhen actually smiled playfully again. She was in a good mood today.
Xiaoqi felt a little embarrassed by what the teacher said, but she really liked this kind of class.
You don't have to do anything special, just gaining knowledge is beautiful.
How could she, who had never been to school or traveled far, know Spain, and know a city called Granada in Spain? How could she know that this city has a pomegranate on its emblem, and that pomegranate is pronounced Granada in Spanish? It all sounds romantic and beautiful when she says this, and she also learned a new word, the pronunciation of pomegranate in Spanish.
Books are like a golden house, which can keep people’s thoughts from being limited by the present.
In the past, Xiaoqi’s world was a village that she could see the end of at a glance, but now her world is vast and boundless.
Although Li Wei Jin was sitting next to her, making her a little distracted and a little restless at first, she was now seriously immersed in the class, listening carefully, and following Teacher Aizhen's words, she walked into this city.
It was as if I heard the sound of the river flowing, passed through the square called Queen Isabella, walked through half of the ancient city, and then stood on this small bridge, looking at the poems engraved in history.
"Baladillade los tres r í os":
Guadalquivir River
Flowing among the orange and olive groves.
The two rivers of Granada,
Flowing from the snow to the wheat fields.
Oh, love,
Never look back!
…
In the orange groves of the Guadalquivir River,
The towering pavilion is in the air, and the fragrant breeze blows gently.
…
Bring some olives, bring some orange blossoms,
Andalusia, the ocean for you.
A trip you will never forget! "
Aizhen recited with deep emotion. It was like a love poem, but not like that. Foreign poems are very casual, describing the scenery of foreign countries, as well as the people and stories in that scenery.
Xiaoqi listened very carefully.
Aizhen was also very serious in class and even made a PPT lesson plan. The city of Granada appeared on the blackboard as the background, with a close-up of the poem on the bridge and English subtitles on the slide. Xiaoqi quickly copied it down.
Then Aizhen recited the Spanish version, which was even more authentic. It was not just like a poem, but more like a glass of old wine that was easy to get drunk with, a piece of candy with a slightly sour aftertaste, and a piece of juicy sugarcane.
Xiaoqi likes this kind of class, it’s very beautiful.
She felt that she was not only learning the language, but also experiencing another kind of learning and growth, a kind of growth called knowledge cultivation, a kind of growth that made her more confident in her future life, although she didn't know what it was called now.
After Li Wei Jin used his cleverness to sit next to Xiao Qi, he didn't dare to disturb her anymore, because he knew that Xiao Qi would not chase him away because the teacher came. After that, he listened to the class carefully and took notes seriously, looking very serious. In fact, he didn't understand some of what he heard very well. His English was not as good as Xiao Qi's, and many of the words were uncommon to him, but he would copy the lesson plan and write down the contents of the teacher's PPT carefully.
A beautiful orange Hermès notebook, a royal blue BOSS pen, and beautiful hands. In short, everything about him from head to toe was exquisite, and it was very pleasing to the eye to see him taking notes seriously. Xiaoqi occasionally glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
I just feel that this guy smells better than Mi'er, and very nice. Mi'er has a stronger smell of shampoo and shower gel. Sometimes she likes to run around and sweat a lot, so she also has a slight smell of sweat. But Li Wei Jin next to her is very refreshing, without any smell of sweat, only a faint fragrance, as if it is there and not there, just like this poem, hazy.
Xiaoqi was a little distracted, but for some reason, it seemed that her learning efficiency in this class was higher than in previous classes. She could almost memorize the poem that the teacher recited once, but the Spanish version was quite difficult.
Then the bell rang, and Aizhen closed the lesson plan, saying that she would analyze the poem carefully in the next class.
After class, Li Weijin was a little nervous, worried that Xiaoqi would find another table. He said first, "I promise not to disturb you, not to affect you, and not to hinder your studies."
Xiao Qi was a little amused when he saw him acting like a good student and a cute baby.
"I'm different from you. I heard that you plan to go abroad as soon as you pass the IELTS, but I don't plan to go abroad. I plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and I plan to apply for a postgraduate degree at Peking University or Tsinghua University. I don't plan to have a long-distance relationship. We are not suitable."
Because Enhua hired several retired teachers from Peking University and Tsinghua University to teach, Xiaoqi found them to be awesome. These teachers taught by analogy, and people could understand them at once. It was like a revelation. If he could go to Peking University and Tsinghua University, it would definitely be a wonderful and amazing thing, so Xiaoqi wanted to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University.
I only had this vague idea before, but today I told it to classmate Li Wei Jin for the first time. After saying it, I suddenly felt more energetic, as if I had a clear short-term goal, and my life became more exciting.
