Zhou Xiu came to the library and took some time to borrow two mathematics books from the foreign language reading room. After reading for a while, Zhou Xiu took out the English article he wanted to recite and began to recite it silently. After a while, faint laughter was heard nearby.
Zhou Xiu turned around and saw several junior high school students around her laughing.
The expression on Zhou Xiu's face became even more dull. When I turned around, someone had already sat down next to Zhou Xiu, and a pair of clean sneakers came into view.
Xi Shaoyuan hung his coat on a chair and said, "Would you like to read it again?"
He glanced at his watch and said, "Go somewhere else. I have an hour to help you."
His face was full of expressions that said "I'm busy" and "but I'll come over reluctantly if you ask me to."
Zhou Xiu thought about the mistake of sending the wrong message and explained briefly, "I'm sorry, I replied to the wrong message that day. I didn't mean to make up with you. If you are busy, you can leave. It's okay."
Xi Shaoyuan's expression was a little subtle: "..."
If not him, who else should I look for? Xu Qing?
He took the article from Zhou Xiu and glanced through it, then returned it to her: "You read it. I'm free."
Zhou Xiu and Xi Shaoyuan went to the coffee shop in the library. She read it once, and Xi Shaoyuan quickly marked the phonetic symbols, rising and falling tones, and connected reading on the article with a red pen... He picked a few phonetic symbols and read them several times. Let Zhou Xiu repeat.
System: [Ding——Communicate in English with three classmates who scored full marks in English every day and receive a reward of 100 RMB. 】
Zhou Xiu had an extra hundred yuan in her pocket. She frowned, considering that she had only communicated with Xi Shaoyuan once today. Today's task was completed inexplicably.
After a moment, Zhou Xiu understood.
There are indeed a few students in the team today who scored full marks in English. The two exchanges also included Xie Cheng "suggesting" her to study English well, and Qi Yaguang enthusiastically agreed.
Zhou Xiu: “…”
Those who are not good at English have been implied.
Zhou Xiu took the article with red marks on it and read it carefully several times. Xi Shaoyuan frowned as he listened. He shook his head, stood up and left his seat without saying a word.
Zhou Xiu put down the article and sighed sadly.
After a few minutes, Xi Shaoyuan returned to his seat with a glass of water and said, "Come closer."
"Observe my mouth shape. The vocal cords won't vibrate when I pronounce clear consonants." He touched his throat while pronouncing the words.
The posture is like inviting someone to touch the Adam's apple.
Zhou Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand, but just as he raised it he realized something was wrong, so he changed his position and put it on his throat.
Xi Shaoyuan picked up the manuscript and read the article slowly at a speed of one word per second, "Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind..."
Zhou Xiu pulled the stool closer and her eyes fell on his lips.
The boy had just drunk some water, and his lips were covered with a layer of water, the color was clear and light.
He spoke very slowly, his lips opening and closing, and you could clearly see the movement of his tongue. The tone that came out of his throat was as standard and beautiful as the original text you were listening to.
Zhou Xiu observed carefully and gradually became fascinated.
When Xi Shaoyuan read to the pause, he glanced to see if Zhou Xiu was listening carefully, but unexpectedly his eyes met her deep ones.
I saw the sunlight falling on her hair and in her dark eyes, as if splashing light on the bright obsidian.
Xi Shaoyuan's voice paused and he mispronounced a phonetic symbol.
When the young people coming and going in the library saw this scene, they quickened their pace in such a hurry: Is it popular these days to trick dogs into being brought in and kill them?
I came to the library to study, but ended up watching others fall in love prematurely?
…
on Monday.
Miss Li checked Zhou Xiu's recitation and wanted to take this opportunity to criticize Zhou Xiu for wasting her weekend time to participate in the competition. However, Zhou Xiu, who had always had difficulty in English, suddenly found that her pronunciation was extremely clear and her fluent pronunciation was not inferior to that of other students in the class.
Ignoring some minor flaws, there is almost no difference from listening to the original sound.
She looked up in surprise and said, "That's a lot of progress."
I didn't expect that there would be such a qualitative leap in just a few days. Zhou Xiu's plasticity is too strong. Miss Li believes that we should pay more attention to Zhou Xiu's English in daily life.
"Be brave and attend an English speech next time." Miss Li patted Zhou Xiu on the shoulder and said.
system:【……】
This is the only article in which her pronunciation is relatively standard.
After the head teacher finished his comments, he said, "I heard that Zhang Qi from Class 25 has applied for the candidate substitute for "Intellectual Confrontation". Your shortcomings are too obvious. Find an opportunity to push it."
It doesn’t matter anyway. There are many top players in this competition, and Yude’s best result in the past was the semi-finals. It's a shame to put your energy into something that you are destined not to get.
Lao Wang had just returned leisurely from the principal's office. He listened, smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Xiu put away the article she was reciting and left the office.
On Friday night, before leaving get off work, Lao Wang reminded everyone to watch "Intelligence Battle". The first preliminary round program was broadcast on CCTV1. Although Miss Li doesn't like to see Yude Middle School being crushed, as the head teacher of Class 24, she still has to support her students in the competition.
At half past six, she was in front of the TV on time.
Huaxu, Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin and others also turned on their computers early and watched the show together.
Zhou Xiu and his team signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose any details of the competition. Yu Qingyan only knew that the school team won second place in the province, but she had no idea about the process.
The program "Intellectual Confrontation" began, and the camera gave many close-ups of the members of No. 4 Middle School, especially Du Heng, who appeared particularly frequently. The tag "good-looking academic master" was flooding the barrage.
In comparison, Yude Middle School was just a poor little thing in the corner, with only Xie Cheng getting a brief shot.
Lan Xin poked Huaxu's shoulder and asked her what she thought.
There was no comment from the behind-the-scenes. Everyone continued to watch. Lin Zhizhou answered the questions slowly and made frequent mistakes. Everyone was deeply worried about the scores of the other students.
"Don't be nervous, we got second place." said Huatiao.
When the points of each team member were counted, No. 4 Middle School, No. 9 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School were far ahead, and the faces of the players on the scene were filled with determination to win. After the game, the players from No. 9 Middle School who were interviewed said frivolously: "We are either the champions or the runner-ups, and we will not fall out of the top three."
Another person said: "No. 4 Middle School is very strong this year. We are conservatively ranked second."
And Yu De in the corner is still unknown. We haven’t even seen much of Yu De, and the episode is almost over?
The award ceremony was almost about to begin, and Yu Qingyan suddenly patted her head and said, "Oh, yeah, how did we get second place?"
Then, many comments suddenly popped up, "High energy ahead."
"High energy ahead."
It was not until the award ceremony that the score statistics of all the contestants suddenly appeared on the big screen. Du Heng was far ahead, and in a low-lying area, a bright red score bar was rising at an incredibly stable speed.
A pair of white hands appeared on the big screen, and a girl's clicker interface kept flashing "true, x150!"
"true, x151!"
…
"true, x195!"
"Holy crap!!! This reversal makes me kneel down to this nerd!"
"One against three, a comeback against all odds."
"This girl has such a beautiful profile! And she has dimples. I am intoxicated by her dimples. I am so drunk."
The host smiled and said: "It seems that this year's Yude team is not only talented..."
The barrage of comments spurted out crazily.
"What's the name of this school? It looks so impressive!"
"Thomas Cyclone is looking for the contact information of his teammates."
"The following is some basic information about Yude Middle School. Yude Middle School was founded in 1997. Tuition and miscellaneous fees are: 122, 130 per year for kindergarten; 110, 287 for primary school; 102, 342 for junior high school; 110, 212 for high school. The school uniform fee is 4, 311. In summary, this is not a school that ordinary people can afford to attend."
"Tip, the 'sky-high scholarship' that was trending a while ago is from this school."
"Fuck, no wonder he's so awesome. Poor people can't afford it."
“Those who are not poor cannot afford to read.”
"I went to search and found out that the campus of this school is built like a university. It's great! There are science labs, drama rehearsal halls, indoor rock climbing rooms, taekwondo halls... outdoor practice parks and a racecourse."
Old Wang was so excited in front of the TV program that he put on his reading glasses and clumsily typed on the keyboard: "Students with excellent academic performance can study for free. Yude welcomes you."
It is hard to imagine how bright the smile on the principal's face was at this moment.
Home of tidbits.
The big screen on the podium flashed by when it played Zhou Xiu's 196th question. Yu Qingyan noticed with her sharp eyes that it seemed to be a string of English words. She pressed the pause button and enlarged the screen to take a closer look.
""Bulb Fields and Windmills near Rijnsburg" has something to do with who? A.Claude M B.Edgar Degas..."
A few people who saw the question clearly suddenly burst into laughter.
After watching one episode of the show, Miss Li was excited and happy, but finally fell into deep self-confusion.
Question 196 was clearly mentioned in the art class in the first year of high school... Does Zhou Xiu really hate English so much that she reads ten lines at a glance and skips it without even reading it?
Oh, by the way, Miss Li suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiu transferred to Yude in her second year of high school.
…
No. 4 Middle School.
The black-faced god is called Duan Jing. The teachers watched the show with great interest in the office and asked curiously, "It seems that this girl is quite good. She won the first prize in your biology competition."
"Teacher Duan, can you hold on?"
Teacher Duan had a gloomy face. What...it's called our biology competition? What kind of "we" are we?
Zhou Xiu's half-smile appeared in his mind, and he felt uncomfortable. She was actually a little better than Du Heng. How could such a frivolous student who dresses up fancy things every day get such good scores in exams?
Teacher Duan said: "What's the point of being stable? Last year we were ranked second in the country."
"It's not surprising that they got second place. The preliminary round is not difficult and luck plays a big role. Isn't this kind of entertainment project Yu De's forte?"
Teacher Duan analyzed objectively.
The teacher in the same grade group smiled and said, “That’s right.”
After all, the students in their school take exams every day and squeeze every minute to study. They cannot compare with the students in Yude who study happily and easily and are good at eating, drinking and having fun.
"After all, we are testing Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography and politics. Our advantages will become bigger in the future." Teacher Duan said affirmatively.
…
weekend.
Zhou Xiu was doing her homework at home, and as usual she took out her mobile phone to live stream her studies. "Nu Li Chong Guo Jin", who had finished reviewing, said: "I want to ask the host a few questions."
He typed a long list of various competition questions and said distressedly, "Alas, I was dragged into a subject-based program and encountered these problems."
"It's too troublesome to ask others one by one. I believe the anchor can solve my problem, right?"
"Strive hard for the National Finance Examination" is a student contestant, and is only half-baked in math, physics and chemistry competitions.
After reading it, Zhou Xiu took out a piece of scratch paper and started solving the problem.
After watching the smooth problem-solving process, "Nuli Chong Guojin" said: "OMG, the anchor is really an all-round talent, I understand!"
"You seem to be as strong as my sister."
"Try your best IMO" said calmly: "Hey, don't mess with me. The anchor looks like my future girlfriend, she's just as strong."
He seemed to know something. Maybe the anchor was indeed a girl?
"Work hard to get the national gold": "..."
Can you still have some shame?
There is no shortage of suitors in real life, but he chooses to flirt with girls in a purely learning live broadcast room. It makes me want to hit him when I see him "trying hard to get into the country".
