The opening ceremony was quite lively with singing, dancing and recitation, just like a cultural performance.
The first part was to welcome the new students. Each of the three grades had a program, and then the new student representative came on stage to give a speech, singing the praises of the sunny and beautiful new life, where they could study happily, sing freely, and grow up happily.
The second half is the award ceremony.
After the three programs ended, the host introduced Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni.
Well……
It feels like being praised.
The girl with long flowing hair narrated their "glorious deeds" of the previous two years with great emotion.
"I have to say, in this atmosphere, after listening to everything we've heard, it seems like we've really done something remarkable." Wang Zhaozhao tilted his head towards Xu Yanni.
Xu Yanni also tilted her head towards her.
“It is a bit remarkable that we participated in the competition and won a place, but it is a bit too much to attribute the learning enthusiasm and progress of our entire class and even the entire school to us.
At most, we can serve as... well... role models?"
"Hearing you say that, I'm actually not in vain. At least we're not receiving any credit for nothing."
“…You’re right!”
The two smiled at each other, and just as the host had finished his introduction, applause broke out from the audience.
They stood up and went on stage.
I have to say that they both wore the same white shirt, light blue jeans, and white sneakers. Although their hairstyles were different, they both wore small flower hairpins.
The whole thing is full of youth.
After saying hello and greetings, there was an interactive session with the host, and then there was the speech.
They don't have speech scripts. They just prepare speeches in their minds and mostly rely on improvisation on the spot.
Their speaking styles are different, but neither of them is passionate.
Xu Yanni’s voice is of the ups and downs type, while Wang Zhaozhao’s is of the storytelling type. Neither of them is too intense, but their presence is very steady and eye-catching.
Of course, it may also be because they are the protagonists today and have the aura of the protagonists.
Apart from anything else, the image that the female host portrayed to them was like a super filter.
After the speeches, the awards ceremony began. The school’s rewards were more generous than many people could have imagined.
Yes! It means rich, not abundant.
In addition to the great unity, there is a big thing in the prize that is super eye-catching - a tape recorder!
As expected of their principal Chen, this prize is so "fashionable".
What’s even more touching is that ten cassettes were also given as a bonus.
Xu Yanni was a little excited. In addition to the tape recorder, there was a tape among the bonus tapes. It was a tape of a foreign rock band that they had listened to in a video store in Beijing last time.
Wang Zhaozhao was even more excited. They didn’t have a tape recorder at home.
In other words, most families only have a radio, and they listen to music through the radio, listening to whatever the radio station plays.
But it’s different with a tape recorder. You can just buy the tape of whatever you want to listen to, and you can play it whenever you want.
The most important thing is that you can listen to English tapes and use them to learn!
Among the tapes given as rewards by the school, five are English tapes.
So, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni were very sincere and expressed their feelings, which almost turned into a speech.
They want everyone... especially the freshmen in the first grade and those who come to attend the opening ceremony to know how good Zhushan County Middle School is and how good Principal Chen and his colleagues are.
At ten forty, the opening ceremony ended.
The students returned to their classrooms and came to attend the meeting of their classmates at Zhushan County Middle School. The school arranged for teachers from the Academic Affairs Office to take them to school.
The top class of the third grade of junior high school, as an important 'attraction', was the first stop and was grandly introduced.
After they left, the head teacher Fan Ye simply skipped the steps of selecting class leaders and arranging seats, collected the summer homework, and asked everyone to do the general cleaning.
Then, school was dismissed early at 11:05, and Wang Zhaozhao waited for Wang Dahai and the others.
"Our school is so small, how come your tour takes longer than our cleaning?" Wang Zhaozhao asked curiously as they walked out of the school gate.
Comrade Xie Ailian tutted, "You're the ones doing the general cleaning. I saw it all. I asked you to sweep the playground... The playground wasn't dirty to begin with, but there were still a few scattered weeds here and there. I asked you to remove them."
cough!
Wang Zhaozhao coughed dryly and said, "Well, originally, the general cleaning meant that each class in the school was divided into an area, and it was basically for everyone to actively participate and concentrate."
Especially for freshmen, this is a good opportunity for classmates to get to know each other and strike up a conversation.
In fact, many people quickly found good friends who would be inseparable from them throughout their junior high school life because of this activity.
Suddenly, Wang Zhaozhao heard Wang Sibing ask Wang Dahai, "Dad, is this thing heavy for you to carry? How about I take it?"
"No need." Wang Dahai refused and changed hands to hold the recorder.
Wang Sibing asked Xie Ailian again, "Mom, are you tired of carrying all those things?"
Xie Ailian's answer was more direct, with just a roll of her eyes.
Wang Sibing: “……!”
His son is in charge.
Qiao Li couldn't go home directly, so she handed the little Dudu she was holding to him, fulfilling his wish of not going home empty-handed.
Back at Dayun Lane, Comrade Xie Ailian stumbled upon it and quickly formed an information exchange center.
So, Comrade Wang Sibing finally got part of the prize as he wished.
After entering the house, they washed their faces and let Wang Zhaozhao take his younger brother to play while Wang Dahai and his son Wang Sibing started to prepare lunch.
