Tian Tian felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. Her English was just dumb English. She had good English grades in high school, but she couldn't speak it at all.
After entering university, one of her roommates had a very nice English pronunciation. Tian Tian was envious and started to practice her spoken English. However, since she was not an English major, her practice was sporadic and she still had a slight accent. She did not expect that she would be praised for her good English pronunciation now.
"I haven't studied it systematically. I just memorized some words and listened to some radio in the two months before the college entrance examination. There was also an educated youth in our team who was very good at English, and I learned from her," said Tian Tian.
What she said about there being an educated youth who was good at English was not made up. There was a female educated youth in their brigade who went to the countryside ten years ago. Her family was very well-off. She could speak not only English but also Russian. She had not lost her English after all these years. She must have practiced secretly in private.
Hearing about the educated youth, Xiang Baichuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he glanced at Tian Tian calmly. Tian Tian was wearing a red sweater on the upper body, a blue cotton-padded jacket on the lower body, black trousers on the lower body, and a pair of small leather shoes on her feet. The small leather shoes were shiny black, and you could tell at a glance that they were made of top-quality leather, and they were probably worth a lot.
No matter how you look at it, the family conditions are good.
"Are you an educated youth?" Xiang Baichuan asked.
"No, I'm just an ordinary country girl." Tian Tian said with a smile.
There's no need to hide this kind of thing from others. It's all in the admissions records and everyone will know it sooner or later.
Tian Tian didn't know what Xiang Baichuan was thinking. The clothes she wore were the same clothes that everyone in the countryside would make. But maybe because she seldom worked and was also relatively clean, her clothes were not that shabby. They were similar to those of an ordinary working-class family in the county town.
As for the pair of small leather shoes on her feet, they were a gift from Tian Yuan to her in the first year after he returned from military service. Tian Tian had never had any occasion to wear these small leather shoes, so she put them away.
It was after she went to college that she specially dug out this pair of shoes. Although she had not worn them over the years, she had taken good care of this pair of leather shoes. In addition, the products made at that time were solid and of good quality, so they looked no different from new ones.
"Then you are awesome!" Xiang Baichuan praised sincerely.
The two of them spoke quietly on the stage, and the students below the stage also wrote down the name in their minds. The instructor collected the tickets and called a student to the stage to count the votes.
In the end, Tian Tian lost to Xiang Baichuan by three votes, and Xiang Baichuan became the class monitor of their class.
"Congratulations, squad leader!" Tian Tian thanked sincerely.
"You have to teach me how to study in the future. I am really envious of your study methods." Xiang Baichuan said with a smile.
After the class monitor was selected, the two of them returned to their seats and then had to select the study committee member and the sports committee member.
"Tian Tian! Your English is very good! You must teach me how to learn English in the future. I learned some from the radio at home, but I was always afraid to speak it out." After Tian Tian sat down, Liang Dongqing whispered to Tian Tian.
"I want to learn too, Tiantian. You can't just teach Dongqing alone. There are also me, Wanqing, and Chunxian!" Xuewei also said.
"I won't forget you. You are my roommates. If I have any good study methods, I will definitely tell you first!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
"You are so amazing. You spoke so fluently on the stage just now! If it were me, my legs would have gone weak!" Liang Dongqing said.
"I was nervous too. I almost knelt on the stage just now," said Tian Tian.
"Just now, the four of us voted for you. In the middle, we all thought you could be the class monitor, but in the end you were only three votes short!" Chen Wanqing said regretfully.
Qin Yu did not stay in the dormitory last night and was not very familiar with them. She did not sit with them today, but sat in the front with another female classmate.
"This is a lot of votes. I thought not many people voted for me!" Tian Tian said with a smile.
To be honest, since she went on stage to run for class monitor, she must have hoped to be elected. Later, after the vote count came out, although she was a little disappointed, she was still surprised that she could get so many votes.
After coming down, she thought about it carefully. Everyone's enthusiasm for learning is very high at this time. What's more, this is the first batch of college students after ten years. They must hope that they can learn something seriously. He just said that he has many learning methods that can help everyone learn and improve together. They must also hope that they can learn better, so so many people voted for her.
They were whispering in the audience, and the instructor asked if anyone wanted to run for the position of study committee member, but no one raised their hand.
"Tiantian, aren't you going to run for study committee member?" Sun Wanqing asked.
She felt that Tian Tian was quite suitable to be the study committee member. After all, she knew so many study methods and could help everyone learn.
"I don't want to vote anymore. I've already said everything I wanted to say just now. If you let me go on stage again now, I don't know what to say." Tian Tian shook her head. Going on stage to choose a class monitor just now had used up all of Tian Tian's courage. She didn't want to go on stage to speak again.
"Teacher!" Tian Tian didn't expect Xiang Baichuan to raise his hand. "Since no one is running, I recommend Tian Tian to be our study committee member. The study methods Tian Tian just talked about are very useful. I think if Tian Tian is our study committee member, it will definitely boost everyone's enthusiasm for learning."
Tian Tian widened her eyes. She didn't expect Xiang Baichuan to recommend her.
The instructor nodded in agreement, "Tian Tian, do you want to be the study committee member?"
Tian Tian hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "I do!"
When the instructor saw that Tian Tian agreed, he said a few more words and then started the election for the sports committee member. There were many people running for the position of sports committee member, and in the end a tall boy was chosen.
After we finished choosing, the instructor distributed books and student ID cards to everyone.
Today’s student ID cards are different from the student ID cards with magnetic cards in the future. Today’s student ID cards are just a relatively hard piece of paper. You need to fill in all the information on it yourself, and then the counselor will collect it and give it to the school for stamping.
Now that the class leaders have been elected, the counselors no longer have to do these things. The class leaders just need to take the things to the Academic Affairs Office to get their stamps.
After the class meeting, they received their books, and learned about the class schedule for this week, and then everyone went back to the dormitory in groups of three or four.
