Zhou Xiu discussed the matter with Xu Qing for a few words, then returned the magazine to Xu Qing and turned to study English.
Tan Ming helped Zhou Xiu correct the test paper. He had no experience in teaching others. After he finished reviewing the test paper to Zhou Xiu with hesitation, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his back. This was the first time that a poor student explained a question to a top student.
Zhou Xiu finally understood what Tan Ming didn't understand before after he explained it several times. She noticed the sweat on Tan Ming's forehead and felt very sorry.
"Thank you, I'm a little difficult to teach, they have a hard time speaking English to me."
Zhou Xiu likes to get to the bottom of things he doesn't understand. Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin and others have been driven to collapse by Zhou Xiu. The only time Zhou Xiu understood it clearly was when he explained to her "Try hard for the IJM" before the exam.
"Work hard to get into Guojin" and get an IELTS score of 9.
Tan Ming was embarrassed for a moment, "No, it should be."
After saying that, Tan Ming left the classroom and went to eat. Time passed by little by little, and most of the students in the classroom had left, leaving only Zhou Xiu's lonely figure.
Zhou Xiu took out all her past English test papers and laid them out on the table one by one. The score of the English test gradually increased from over 50 points to over 70, over 80... all the way to 114 points at the end of the semester.
There was visible progress in every period of the exams, but after reaching 110 points, Zhou Xiu's English did not improve any further.
Zhou Xiu corrected the wrong questions and fell into deep thought.
The Chinese language test last semester was quite difficult, and Zhou Xiu only managed to score 130 thanks to her exceptional performance. In addition, I just happened to get full marks in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. If English continues to fall behind, it will be difficult to get over 700 points next time.
Since No. 4 Middle School is in City C, the top ten in the city are approximately equal to the top ten in the province. Zhou Xiu took out her cell phone and searched for the unified examination results of No. 4 Middle School last semester, but couldn't find any. She sent a message to ask about the behind-the-scenes story.
Huatui took out his phone and looked at it, with a question mark on his face: "???"
Yu Qingyan, who was having dinner with Huaxu, took a quick look and said excitedly, "Xiuxiu has ignited her fighting spirit and is ready to catch up with the academic god? Sister Xu, go ask her."
Lan Xin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, it must be. Sister Xu, go ask!"
Huaxu pressed long and long to forward the message to Du Heng. Du Heng didn't ask anything and quickly sent the report card to his girlfriend.
A bright white light flashed on the phone screen, and Zhou Xiu slid the screen to study it carefully. The tenth place in No. 4 Middle School is 700 points, and the second ninth place is Jiang Yuanyuan with 706 points. Zhou Xiu slid to the top, and Du Heng scored 735 points.
Du Heng performed very averagely in every subject, with close to full marks in liberal arts and full marks in both sciences. Zhou Xiu looked at Du Heng's results for a while, sighed deeply, and felt pressured for the first time in his life.
Du Heng only lost two points in science and got full marks in English. This is probably the gap between an ordinary top student and a true academic genius.
During the summer vacation, Du Heng seldom did his homework, but Zhou Xiu studied whenever he had the chance.
The system comforted him, saying, "Young man, you are just bad at English. Just study hard. I believe in you!" 】
[English needs the nourishment of context, the watering of time, and the cultivation of perseverance. Come on, young man! 】
[Ding——Open the English task mode, and English learning tasks will be dropped randomly. Young man, you don’t like to actively communicate with others in English. This is wrong.
There is always a teacher among three people, and communication makes people progress. Please communicate and study with three classmates who have scored full marks in English within one day. A reward of 100 RMB will be given for completing the task, and 100 RMB will be deducted for failure. 】
Zhou Xiu: [……]
It was the first time that Zhou Xiu encountered a task that would result in a deduction of money.
She recalled the end-of-term grade commendation meeting. There were 18 students in Yude who scored full marks in the last English test. Zhou Xiu only knew six of them, four of whom were on the list, and the remaining two she had never spoken to.
The four on the list are Xu Qing, Qi Yaguang, Xi Shaoyuan and Du Heng.
Zhou Xiu sent his unresolved questions to Xu Qing and Qi Yaguang in turn. Zhou Xiu hesitated for a while between Du Heng and Xi Shaoyuan, and finally chose to send it to Xi Shaoyuan.
Qi Yaguang, who received Zhou Xiu's message, had a question mark on his face: "???"
It was the first time that Zhou Xiu asked Qi Yaguang a question in such a "modest and studious" manner. Considering that Zhou Xiu had treated her wholeheartedly during the summer vacation, Qi Yaguang violated her dining etiquette, put down her chopsticks and clicked on the voice bar.
This is a listening passage with very fast speaking speed.
After listening to her, Qi Yaguang sent a two-minute voice message to Zhou Xiu. Considering how poor Zhou Xiu's English was, she sent two more messages.
After listening to Qi Yaguang's explanation, Zhou Xiu suddenly had an epiphany and copied Qi Yaguang's suggestions word for word next to the listening questions.
The system smiles: [Is it beautiful? 】
On the other side, Xu Qing was thinking about Tan Ming tutoring Zhou Xiu in English, with a hint of depression in his eyes. The moment Xu Qing received Zhou Xiu's message, his lips suddenly curled up.
He thought for a while and replied to Zhou Xiu with his own solution, "If you have any questions in the future, you are welcome to communicate/smile."
Finally, at 2:30 in the afternoon, Xi Shaoyuan woke up from his nap, picked up his phone and saw the red dot on the little green bud avatar.
He responded: "What's the problem?"
The boy, who had just woken up in the afternoon, had a hoarse and unclear voice, as if whispering in the ear.
As class time approached, most of the students from Class 24 had arrived in the classroom, and Zhou Xiu clicked on the voice message sent by Xi Shaoyuan.
The girl who was holding a workbook and preparing to ask a question heard the voice. She was suddenly startled and asked Zhou Xiu: "Xiu Xiu, who are you talking to?"
She held up her face, her cheeks slightly red. "This voice is so beautiful, so sweet. Ahhhhhhh."
Zhou Xiu's ears were shaken by her. She put away her phone and said nonchalantly, "A friend."
There was one voice message left, which Zhou Xiu converted into text. It was Xi Shaoyuan explaining the problem-solving techniques to her. At the end, he said, "Stay after math class on the weekend and I'll teach you."
Zhou Xiu typed on the keyboard with one hand and used the other hand to hold a pen to solve problems for her classmates. She quickly replied to Xi Shaoyuan: "No, thank you."
During the break of the next class, Zhou Xiu's phone vibrated. It was a message from Xi Shaoyuan.
Zhou Xiucai realized that she had typed the sentence she replied to Xi Shaoyuan wrongly. She typed the abbreviation "B" instead of "N", which turned out to be "You come". In the end, she sent a message to Xi Shaoyuan saying "You come, thank you".
Xi Shaoyuan sent a message saying "OK".
Zhou Xiu: “…”
The system made a sound at the same time: [Ding - Complete the task of learning and communicating with three classmates who got full marks, and be rewarded with 100 RMB. 】
Zhou Xiu was about to explain why she accidentally sent the wrong message, but then she thought it was unnecessary, so she turned off the screen and continued to study.
[Ding——Please read an English article with emotion every day. The monthly reward for daily tasks is 10,000 RMB. Requirements: Standard pronunciation and fluent connected reading. 】
Sounds easy?
Zhou Xiu is very self-aware that her pronunciation is not standard. However, during the lunch reading class, Zhou Xiu still tried to read the English text aloud. She read the same article 50 times, but not once was she qualified.
Zhou Xiu laid on the table, devastated from the bottom of her heart, "Learning English is so difficult. 】
During the afternoon reading, Zhou Xiu was as excited as a chicken, trying hard to correct his pronunciation, and finally fell dejectedly on the table. The tidbits next to her seemed to hear her thoughts and burst out laughing.
Huaxu shook Zhou Xiu's shoulder and said, "Xiu Xiu, hurry up and study. You have to bring honor to the school."
…
Zhou Xiu rested for a while, and finally sat up stubbornly. What attracted her to stand up was a creature. The national biology competition is approaching, at the end of this month. Before school started, Zhou Xiu received information that she had joined the provincial team.
A total of eight students from the province made the provincial team and advanced to the national competition in September.
When Zhou Xiu was searching for the grades of No. 4 Middle School, she accidentally came across the No. 4 Middle School’s forum and remembered a sentence: “Go all out to fight for the first place.” This red post with premium products has always been at the top of the list.
Zhou Xiu rubbed his eyes, took a sip of water, and continued studying.
System: [Ding——No.1 in the national biology competition, reward: 300,000 RMB. 】
Zhou Xiu's action of drinking water stopped in mid-air, and he choked and started coughing violently.
The task for first place in the mathematics league was released several months in advance, but the task for the national biology competition was only released today? Zhou Xiu's eyes showed shock, her nerves were tense at this moment, and her mind began to calculate how many hours were left before the national competition.
System smiles: [Go all out to fight for first place. This is the concept of the students in No. 4 Middle School, and I hope Xiuxiu will also keep this sentence in mind. 】
Zhou Xiu was just thinking about setting aside a month or two to focus on mastering English, but he didn't expect the system to cause trouble again.
Du Heng's original score in the league is higher than Zhou Xiu's. Zhou Xiu still needs to work hard to surpass Du Heng and get the first place in the province. I didn't expect the system to be so inflated. Seeing that the first place in the province is not yet in hand, you expect to be No. 1 in the national competition?
System: [If that doesn’t work, then…]
[Ding—The reward for NO.2 in the National Biology Competition is 250,000 yuan, the reward for NO.3 is 200,000 yuan, the reward for NO.4~5 is 180,000 yuan, and the reward for NO.5~10 is reduced by 10% respectively. These two months have been a bit difficult, but keep going. 】
[If you really can't get it, just pretend I never mentioned this mission. 】The system said with a long sigh.
Zhou Xiu said “No need” and opened her tutorial book.
After a class, Huaxu felt so sleepy that his head kept sinking. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Zhou Xiu reviewing biology as if he was excited.
Huaxu shook her head. When she was browsing Weibo and Tieba, she came across some questions from junior high school graduates about school selection. The comment section listed all the major schools in City C.
He flipped through the tidbits and gradually frowned.
"Don't go to Yude. It's the only key school that's both expensive and a rip-off. The academic atmosphere is terrible. Good students will be buried if they go there."
"If nothing else, just look at the way they are eager to announce their achievements to the world. They really show off whatever they lack."
…
After a bunch of disparaging comments, there was a constant stream of “Welcome to apply to No. 1 Middle School,” “No. 2 Middle School welcomes younger students,” and “If you have all A+s, you can try No. 4 Middle School. Good luck.”
She didn’t expect the debate to be so heated. After she quit Weibo, she searched her school with keywords and a string of question marks appeared on her face: “???”
The further you scroll down the tidbits, the colder his expression becomes.
Finally, after reading the comments on the Internet, the tidbit left a message on his WeChat ID: "If you ignore Yude today, you will be out of reach tomorrow."
After finishing the behind-the-scenes footage, he threw his phone into the drawer out of sight and out of mind. She took out her physics tutorial and began to read it carefully.
Huaxu's phone was not thrown into the drawer. It fell to the ground with a "bang", which scared Zhou Xiu who was studying biology seriously. Zhou Xiu picked up the phone, took a look at it, and silently closed the interface.
