Qi Yaguang from the Rocket Class heard that Zhou Xiu was preparing for the IELTS exam. He was so tortured that he even missed several of Lao Wang's private lessons. Lao Wang gave him two sets of test paper gift packages.
Although it is a bit late to take the IELTS in the third year of high school, as someone who passed the IELTS with a high score, she thinks that one month of practice is enough. She actively lent her English teacher to Zhou Xiu. Although Zhou Xiu refused, Qi Yaguang blinked and said, "How about she teach you English and you teach me math?"
Apart from Xie Cheng and Xi Shaoyuan, the best math student in the school is Zhou Xiu. The performance of these three people is often on par with each other. In front of the first two great players, Qi Yaguang did not dare to act rashly, but the pressure was not that great when asking Zhou Xiu.
Besides, Qi Yaguang didn’t want Zhou Xiu to tutor her, she just wanted to help Zhou Xiu.
Qi Yaguang changed his words, and Zhou Xiu thought about it and agreed.
Although the foreign teacher Qi Yaguang hired was not as good as Susan, the foreign teacher was more than enough to handle a language test. She came to Yude and gave Zhou Xiu a test, and decided to let Zhou Xiu concentrate on improving his spoken English. After school every day, she would go to school on time to tutor Zhou Xiu for an hour, preparing scene topics to chat with students.
While Zhou Xiu was reciting the oral materials prepared by the teacher, she was tutoring Qi Yaguang in mathematics. Sometimes it was already dark when Zhou Xiu finished her English class, and Qi Yaguang would take her home.
The students in the Rocket Class were all shocked when they saw this scene. Even Qi Yaguang had changed his personality? Not only did she go out of her way to help Zhou Xiu, the person she hated the most, she also went out of her way to send Zhou Xiu home, and stayed with her almost every day during this period.
During the break, a classmate exclaimed: "The show god in Class 24 is really good——"
She can get slapped in the face as much as she wants at the beginning of the school year, but she can still make those whose faces are swollen accept her wholeheartedly. Xu Haobo adjusted his glasses and tried to save Qi Yaguang's face by saying, "Zhou Xiu is helping Qi Yaguang with his math. Zhang Qi ranked very high in the last league because he studied with Zhou Xiu for a while. Zhou Xiu's study method is very good."
Qi Yaguang held his chin in his hand, listening to the nonsense of the people around him, and thought carelessly: "What a bunch of vulgar guys."
Only Qi Yaguang knew how warm and powerful it was when Zhou Xiu comforted him that day when he was devastated and depressed by his poor grades. It is hard not to sincerely admire, approach and yearn for such a person.
Zhou Xiu's English foundation is so poor, and she is already making a last-ditch effort to take the IELTS. How could Qi Yaguang be willing to waste her precious time on lessons? During this period, she passed by Class 24 and heard all the students in the class speaking spoken English, which helped her develop a sense of language.
She thought that if she continued to take up Zhou Xiu's time at this time, she would probably be torn apart by the students in Class 24.
To a certain extent, the environment of Class 24 is quite good. It is one of the only two classes in the whole grade that can teach entirely in English. Fortunately, Zhou Xiu was assigned to Class 24. If she had stayed in the Rocket Class, she might not have had such conditions.
Xie Cheng, who was resting on the table during class, suddenly opened his eyes. He heard his classmates' discussion and turned to ask Qi Yaguang seriously, "How is Zhou Xiu doing?"
Xie Cheng seldom cared about anything and was indifferent to everything. I didn't expect that he was asking about Zhou Xiu. Qi Yaguang shrugged and answered truthfully: "I heard from the teacher that her foundation is a little weak, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Zhou Xiu has a great memory."
Xie Cheng said: "That's great. She should have made some progress in English after a year of intensive study."
There is a saying circulating in Class 24: We are not afraid of heaven or earth, but we are afraid of the God of Showoff speaking English. However, after one summer, Zhou Xiu was able to speak English fluently on "Intelligence Battle" and her performance was amazing. Although her accent was not authentic, it was vaguely evident that she had received professional corrections.
Zhou Xiu, the person who was said to have no major problems, was being called up by Miss Li in Class 24 to debate opinions.
She asked Zhou Xiu in English with a smile, "In recent years, China has increasingly advocated a relaxed and happy education, but there are also many voices against it. Xiuxiu, as an excellent student, I would like to ask you whether it is better to study happily or to have a Chinese-style cramming education? I think the students would also like to hear your answer."
This question is a bit unfriendly, but everyone knows that the head teacher has no ill intentions. Zhou Xiu's study method is obviously different from that of the class. Although students like Xu Qing have good grades, he never stays up late to do homework and is rarely seen doing exercises.
However, isn’t Zhou Xiu now using intense and intensive education to beat the whole class in terms of happy education?
Miss Li smiled and said: "You have five minutes."
The classmates in the class thought slowly, the debate topic only lasts five minutes, isn’t this too difficult for Zhou Xiu? My mind was in a knot and then five minutes went by blankly.
Du Feiyang shouted, "Five minutes is not enough for Xiu Shen to show off. Fifteen minutes! Teacher, give her fifteen minutes!"
Others chimed in: "Give her fifteen minutes."
Miss Li coughed lightly and shrugged, "Only five minutes. Anyway, there is not that much time to prepare for the oral exam."
Five minutes passed.
Zhou Xiu took a deep breath and said in a very unauthentic dialect: "I was born in a small village. When there were no classes, the teacher would take us to the mountains to play, pick grass and flowers, and fish. I knew that we had to plant rice in March, peanuts in April, and cabbage and eggplant in May... Fish have no eyelids, sheep have square pupils, and rabbits are nearsighted. When I was ten years old, I personally delivered a cow that had difficulty giving birth in the village. When I was thirteen, I prescribed medicine for a sick dog. They were the first key that inspired me to explore the natural world and made me feel the miracle of life and the mystery of nature."
"I agree with the saying that interest is the best teacher. If I hadn't had this childhood experience, I would have had a hard time getting into natural sciences. On the other hand, when I entered high school, I began to clearly feel my shortcomings and needed to spend a lot of time to make up for them. I started the so-called cramming education. Cramming education enabled me to acquire a lot of knowledge and information in a short period of time, helping me to build a more systematic and comprehensive knowledge system."
“Therefore, I think there is no absolute good or bad in the two learning methods, only whether they are suitable for you.”
As soon as Zhou Xiu finished her last word, the boys applauded enthusiastically. Her ideas were clear, her words were accurate, and her sentences were fluent; if this was really an oral exam, her estimated score would not be low.
Yu Qingyan's mouth opened wide, and Lan Xin complained silently: "Fuck, I finally understand, the God of Learning is only lagging behind temporarily, he is lagging behind for fun. When the cooldown time of the skill is over, he will come back and beat us mortals."
"It turns out that Xiuxiu just didn't have the time to concentrate on learning English before. She is so great, she can do well in anything." Another poor student muttered.
It makes people more introverted. What's going on?
The students around him were feeling as excited as they were at the final of "Intellectual Confrontation". They quickly organized this debate, which could be called a small speech, in just five minutes.
Xu Qing turned the pen and looked around at the classmates who were all open-mouthed in shock. Although he was helpless, he still explained: "Don't forget, Xiuxiu has a good memory. She mostly uses fixed collocations and formats to fill in the words and make sentences."
Those who understand will understand and can see through it at a glance. But the moment Zhou Xiu expressed her point of view fluently, it was very confusing. This obviously requires strong memory and reaction support.
However, Xu Qing did not have high expectations for Zhou Xiu's English level. The fact that she could achieve this level was enough to surprise everyone.
Miss Li narrowed her eyes and brows, and finally managed to smile.
Zhou Xiu's English has finally improved a bit, which is very gratifying.
"Oh my god, Xiuzai has made great progress. Mommy gives you a thumbs up." Huaxu said excitedly, giving the thumbs up with both hands.
Miss Li nodded and motioned Zhou Xiu to sit down. After the warm-up activities before class, she started the class. The students all have a good level of English. Her review classes focus more on classroom activities and interaction with students. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which can be described as "sprinkling some water". So even if you spend ten minutes or so on a classmate, no one will feel that it is a waste of time.
A class is over.
Zhou Xiu's neighbors were very pleased. "It's worth our hard work in cultivating him over the past year. Wow, Xiu Shen really made us proud."
Lan Xin put her hands on her hips and said, "I can finally leave Xiuxiu to Yasi without any worries. She won't be abused too badly."
Tan Ming pretended to be calm and said: "Sess belongs to the persevering."
Persistence is victory, and victory belongs to those who persevere to the end. Everyone was slightly thoughtful after listening to this. Zhou Xiu had been memorizing words, watching bilingual movies, and reading English books and literature every day in the past year. Although her English grades were terrible, she was making progress every time.
Zhou Xiu was embarrassed to hear this, "You are exaggerating too much. In fact, it is far from the truth."
She was preparing for test-taking skills, and there was no way she could make a qualitative leap in a short period of time, so she discussed with her teacher how to learn answering skills. Therefore, Xu Qing immediately identified the problem as soon as he heard it. However, most Chinese students follow this path. After all, they were not born in an English environment, so exam-oriented education is inevitable.
The examiner probably has to accept this setting reluctantly. If students can master a large number of vocabulary, can read more complex articles, and make few or almost no errors, they can get a score of 8.0.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. If you can get a high score, try to get a high score. English proficiency is also an important reference indicator. It would be unreasonable for Xiu Shen to not get an 8.5."
Zhou Xiu, who was always calm and confident, didn't dare to say a word for the first time and didn't dare to respond to Xu Qing's words at all. She thought to herself that she should be thankful that she could pass the exam. I didn't expect Xu Qing to be so arrogant.
The system complained with disdain: [No future! Can't the light of academic god give you more confidence? 】
Zhou Xiu lay down and let himself be ridiculed, shrugging helplessly: [It is important for people to know themselves. 】
On the weekend at the end of October, the IELTS test that Zhou Xiu had signed up for at a cost of 1,700 yuan finally came.
There was a written test in the morning and an oral test in the afternoon. Huaxu and some friends including Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin, Qi Yaguang, etc., specially took out their precious weekend time to wait for Zhou Xiu to finish the exams.
After finishing the oral test, Zhou Xiu walked out of the examination room with a smile. Half an hour after the exam, Xu Qing got the test paper and asked the teacher to do it again so that Zhou Xiu could check the answers.
Although Zhou Xiu did not give a clear explanation, they had a vague idea in their minds that she should be preparing to go abroad. Xu Qing, Du Feiyang, Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin and others were extremely happy, as if they were expecting something.
Yu Qingyan pushed the answer in front of Zhou Xiu and said excitedly: "Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu, come and compare them!"
Zhou Xiu checked the answers one by one and had a rough idea in mind. If the scores were not too different, she should be able to get 8.0 points in listening and reading. The scores for the remaining speaking and writing were uncertain, and these two were the hardest to score.
Huaxu suggested going out for dinner to celebrate, "Xiuxiu's tribulation was not easy this time, it's worth commemorating, Sister Xu will treat you to a meal!"
She invited everyone to a luxurious restaurant with a four-digit average price per person, and everyone excitedly discussed Zhou Xiu's next English test results and speculated whether she would get all the scores in the 130 score range.
Zhou Xiu couldn't bear to listen anymore and went to the bathroom in the middle of eating. When she came out, she saw Huatiao leaning against the wall with her arms around her shoulders, obviously waiting for someone.
Huaxu went forward and hugged her, lowered his head and said softly: "It was inconvenient to talk inside just now, I will come out and talk to you."
"Xiu Xiu will definitely succeed."
Zhou Xiu was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared in her eyes, "You too. I always believe that Xuxu will not lose, and you can be admitted to Renmin University."
Zhou Xiu did not deliberately conceal the fact that she was applying to study abroad, and she did not avoid the fact when she was drafting the application. Although Hua Ti had never formally asked her during this period, Hua Ti already understood what preparations she was making.
Huaxu crossed his arms, raised his chin and said, "Of course, I have two genius students around me, I believe I will succeed!"
Zhou Xiu nodded. She had always believed this firmly. Du Heng must have his own way of maintaining the top spot in the province. He will find a way to tutor Huatui. And the learning method is indeed very important. Zhou Xiu has been following the review rhythm of the behind-the-scenes footage during this period.
Huaxu patted Zhou Xiu's shoulder and said to her threateningly: "Xiu Xiu, I'm telling you, even if you go abroad, I'm still your best friend, you are not allowed to forget me!"
Zhou Xiu rarely heard such childish words, and she wanted to laugh: "My memory is not that bad."
Perhaps only Zhou Xiu could say such a straight-woman thing. This sentence directly shattered the beautiful atmosphere and made the behind-the-scenes actress so angry that she wanted to hit someone.
Huaxu said seriously: "They guessed that you were applying to study abroad, and they were all so happy. Only I was very unhappy when I knew you were going to be separated from me by tens of thousands of kilometers. Part of the reason I wanted to stay in China was because of Xiuxiu. You are so hateful!"
"Although it's only... a tiny reason." She stretched out her little finger and gestured.
Zhou Xiu was touched and amused after hearing this. She said silently in her heart that no one would worry about her not having enough food like Huaxu did, bringing her breakfast every day, letting her use her mobile phone, tablet and snacks as she pleases, and even letting her pay with her bank card. How could she forget such a tidbit?
It is enough to have one true friend in life.
The author has something to say:
Small theater:
Xuxu: You can't forget me
The answer that Xuxu was looking forward to: Woo woo woo, I will never forget you
I will always, always remember you!
In fact, Xiuxiu: I have an amazing memory
Highlights: "..."
I roughly understand why Xi Shaoyuan, Xu Qing, Xie Cheng, Tan Ming and others can't seduce Xiuxiu.
