"Then don't worry, I'm excellent in all my other subjects, except for English!"
"If I can raise my English score by another thirty points, Yenching University will be a sure thing!"
Hearing Xu Jianian say this, Jiang Sheng asked curiously, "So, after receiving tutoring from Teacher Zhou, what score can you expect on your English tests?"
It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, but once it came up, Xu Jianian stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly.
"Before, without a tutor, I could only score in the teens on English tests, but now I can probably score in the forties..."
Xu Jianian gradually realized what to say.
Jiang Sheng really didn't expect Xu Jianian's English to be so bad.
In 1980, the total score for English was 30 points.
It wasn't until 1981 that the English score was set at 70 points.
It wasn't until 1982 that the total score for English was set at 100, the same as that for subjects like Chinese and Mathematics.
Since then, the total score for the English exam has been 100 points every year, and it has never changed.
As for Xu Jianian, he scored 40 out of 100 in English, which is below the passing grade.
She didn't even get half the marks, which shows just how bad her English was.
Jiang Sheng thought about it seriously for a moment, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked up at Xu Jianian.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Feeling a little embarrassed by Jiang Sheng's gaze, especially since Jiang Sheng himself was quite handsome with striking features.
Being stared at by such a handsome man, Xu Jianian, even though he had seen many handsome people, still couldn't help but blush slightly.
"I just wanted to ask you a question."
Jiang Sheng didn't notice Xu Jianian's embarrassment at all; he was just holding onto the idea that suddenly popped into his head, wanting to confirm whether his idea could be verified.
Xu Jianian pouted, trying her best to appear natural: "Then just say it directly. Why are you staring at me like that? I'm waiting. I need to get back to my studies. In half an hour, Teacher Zhou will be helping me with my homework."
"I don't have any other questions. I just wanted to ask you how long Mr. Zhou has been tutoring you in English?"
Xu Jianian was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Sheng to ask her this question, but she still thought about it seriously before saying, "It's been less than a month, I remember it was at the beginning of summer vacation, so it should be almost a month now."
In less than a month, a student who struggled with English could improve from a score in the teens to 30s or 40s. While this is a significant improvement, it does not prove that Zhou Changgui is an excellent teacher.
After all, tutoring a poor student, even if they start from zero, shouldn't be this slow.
Conversely, raising the score of a student who already has good grades from 95 or 96 is actually the slowest process.
The weaker the foundation, the more obvious the progress will be—that's the principle.
Xu Jianian's English score of only a dozen points already indicates that the other party's foundation is extremely poor.
If that's the case, then the pace of progress is indeed too slow.
Jiang Sheng hadn't quite decided on the right words yet, so he shared his suggestions with Xu Jianian.
Xu Jianian, who was standing next to him, asked curiously, "Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you asking me these questions?"
Jiang Sheng snapped out of his daze and stopped beating around the bush with Xu Jianian. He went straight to the point and said, "It's like this. If you don't mind, my third sister is an English professor at Yenching University. Her English is excellent."
"She went to Hong Kong for an exchange program during the summer vacation and probably won't be back until the start of the new semester. I'll tell my third sister that if you're willing, an English teacher is definitely much better than a high school teacher."
It's worth noting that Jiang Sheng's third sister, Zhao Shuiman, is a lecturer in the English Department at Yenching University. As someone who was once invited to serve as an exchange professor at a famous foreign university for six months, her English proficiency is truly exceptional.
Having her tutor a student who is about to enter their senior year of high school would be more than enough for her.
Xu Jianian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"That's wonderful! I didn't expect your third sister to be so amazing. Don't worry, as long as I can get her to be my English teacher, I'll give you whatever you want!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Xu Jianian's body trembled slightly, and he grabbed Jiang Sheng's arms with both hands, his face beaming with joy.
That is why, from Jiang Sheng's perspective, the two well-developed mounds in front of Xu Jianian were unexpectedly conspicuous, their movements subtly undulating along with his body.
Well……
It wasn't that Jiang Sheng liked to look at it, but the scenery in front of him was just too beautiful. Any boy would probably find it hard to ignore.
This girl must have been raised on something amazing. She has everything she should have, and everything she shouldn't have is just right. Compared to her two older sisters, she is quite outstanding.
Before Jiang Sheng could answer, Xu Jianian blinked in confusion, and the next second she saw Jiang Sheng staring at her chest.
"Jiang Sheng!"
Xu Jianian was so angry that her face turned red with embarrassment, and she slapped Jiang Sheng on the shoulder.
Actually, she wanted to slap Jiang Sheng, but even Xu Jianian herself didn't know why, although she was aiming for Jiang Sheng's face, she ended up slapping his shoulder instead.
Jiang Sheng awkwardly looked away, then looked at the blushing, angry face in front of him, feeling both embarrassed and apologetic.
Girls in this era are quite traditional. Apart from her second sister, Zhao Xuehui often jokes with her, but that's just her second sister doing it on purpose to make her happy.
If he really dares to make a move or has any improper thoughts, not to mention whether his second sister will teach him a lesson, his eldest sister could break his legs.
If even her two older sisters were like this, then it goes without saying that Xu Jianian, whom she had only met a few times and had no contact with at all, was even more so.
"sorry!"
Without even thinking, Jiang Sheng blurted out, "I really didn't mean to, but from my angle, it's hard not to notice. I swear I had no ulterior motives!"
"Stop talking!"
Xu Jianian's face was filled with shame and indignation, but seeing Jiang Sheng's sincere expression, which clearly meant he had only seen it by accident, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and pout as she spoke angrily.
You have to grant me one request!
