The English teacher's requirements weren't high. As long as Liu Jing didn't get eliminated in the first round, she'd be fine. I heard that the top few could participate in city, provincial, and even national competitions. Those awards weren't something a regular school like theirs could win. Usually, only students from bilingual schools could compete. People like Jiang Ding couldn't even hope to get a ticket.
"Teacher, am I alone?"
Liu Liang didn't have much resistance to this kind of competition. She heard that if she won a national award, she could get extra points in the college entrance examination. Although she believed that her college entrance examination score would definitely not be low, why not take the free points? Maybe she could even become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
There were several other students. The English teacher smiled and said, "Each of us English teachers has three spots. We have nine classes in total. Coincidentally, there are nine people."
"Teacher, can I recommend someone?"
Liu Liang didn’t know if the English teacher had other candidates in mind, but she still wanted to give it a try.
"You talk, the teacher is listening."
In fact, the English teacher only thought of Liu Liang now. She really didn't have any suitable candidates for the other two. If she still couldn't choose one in the end, she would just use the English class representative to fill the number. Anyway, they would all be eliminated in the first round.
"Teacher, you can choose Liu Lele."
Liu Liang knew something about Liu Lele's English level. She was the one who taught him, so she had a good idea that although Liu Lele's English was not bad now, it was definitely not worse than that of the second grade, and it might even be better.
Moreover, her spoken English is much better than that of the average junior high school student. Her level is completely sufficient for the current "mute" English.
Liu Lele, the English teacher actually doesn’t have much impression of Liu Lele. If she studied well, it would be impossible for her to really have no impression of her.
But she remembered the name Liu Lele.
When she goes back and looks at the test results, she will know whether to let Liu Lele pass.
A few days later, the English teacher looked for Liu Jing again. Of course, this time she also brought Liu Lele and the English class representative from another class. It seemed that she had decided to let Liu Lele participate in the competition.
Although Liu Lele was not very noticeable before, she scored high in English. It can be said that her grades are among the best in the school, and her scores are much higher than those of the English class representative.
So the English teacher finally decided to let Liu Lele go.
Because they were going to participate in an English competition, the school gave these students a holiday, and their food and travel expenses were reimbursed by the school. Although they knew they might not get good results, the school still took it very seriously.
Three English teachers brought nine students directly to the competition venue without giving them much time to prepare. In previous years, it would take about a month to prepare. I don’t know what happened this year, but the English competition started not long after school started, which made things very urgent.
In the car, the English teacher could only explain to them the rules of the competition and some precautions. As for what kind of results they could get, it all depended on themselves.
In fact, the English teacher was not too anxious. She had originally gone there with the goal of getting first place in the competition and second place in friendship. Compared with the other two substitute English teachers, she was obviously much more relaxed.
The other two teachers were talking to their students all the time in the car. Their voices filled the whole journey. They even sang an English song. Liu Liang yawned. It was so noisy.
She spent most of the night making cloth flowers and was going to sell them at the market tomorrow. Even this one-hour car ride didn't allow her to have any peace and quiet.
Liu Lele covered her ears with her hands. Not only Liu Liang disliked the noise, she also disliked it. She was already a little carsick. Could she be quiet for a while? The more she listened, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the more she wanted to vomit.
Just when Liu Lele really couldn't help but want to scratch someone, the car stopped.
Liu Lele ran out of the car, found a tree and started vomiting.
Liu Liang reached out and patted her shoulder.
Poor kid, must have vomited because of the noise?
Liu Lele wiped his mouth and said, "When we get back, I definitely won't ride in the same car with them. I'd rather take the bus than listen to their hoarse voices."
Liu Liang nodded, yes, she agreed with this.
It's so noisy that it gives me a headache.
Liu Liang took out a bottle of water and handed it to Liu Lele. It was the water that the school bought for every student.
Liu Lele quickly took it and started drinking it while sitting there. Her throat was so spicy that it felt like smoking. She really wanted to go home immediately and drink a glass of ice soda, but a bottle of boiled water would also be fine.
"Are you ready?"
The English teacher came over and squatted in front of Liu Lele, touched her hair, and asked worriedly.
"Teacher, can we go back in a different car?"
Liu Lele took a sip of water and said with a bitter face, "I vomited because of the noise they sang."
"that……"
In fact, the English teacher was also unwilling. Didn’t you see that she always pulled out her combed hair?
"You go take the exam first. After you finish, the teacher will think of a solution."
"Thank you, teacher." Liu Lele stood up in a flash, and she was fully revived. I will definitely do well in the exam, she patted her chest and promised firmly.
The English teacher was relieved to see that Liu Lele was fine. It was not a good feeling to see a student having problems before the exam.
"Let's go in first."
The English teacher urged two people, and the others went in, leaving only a few of them.
Liu Lele took another sip of water, put the water bottle in his schoolbag, and walked quickly towards the examination room.
The examination venue for this English competition is No. 3 Middle School, which is the high school in their county. The admission rate is very high, but the scores are not high. It can be said that No. 3 Middle School is the first choice for these ordinary junior high school students.
The high school in Liu Lele's mind is No. 3 Middle School. When she saw the new teaching building of No. 3 Middle School, she liked it very much. Moreover, No. 3 Middle School is far from home, so she can live on campus in the future. She has never lived on campus before, so it feels good.
That's right, she couldn't help but feel discouraged again. With her grades, and being in No. 3 Middle School, she might have to repeat the year.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it now. She is only in the first grade of junior high school. Maybe in the future, she can get into high school on the first try. There is a saying that is very good. What is it?
Dreams come true
She was having wild thoughts here, biting her fingernails, and she didn't know where her mind was wandering.
Liu Jing glanced indifferently at the people standing not far from them, wearing the uniform of No. 7 Middle School. Those people had faded in her eyes, but they could still be said to be familiar, including the teacher named Lin who had always appeared in her nightmares.
