"Let's prepare first. We will go to the city to participate in the competition the day after tomorrow," Teacher Yu suppressed his excitement. This is a very formal competition with two parts: written and oral.
The English teacher plans to give these two students some good tutoring in the next two days, and try to get them to pass the oral English test. This is the first time that their school can participate in the city competition.
As a result, when she was tutoring Liu Liang and Liu Lele, she found that Liu Liang's spoken English was so good that it was as if she had lived abroad. Her grammar was pure, her pronunciation was clear, and her voice was very nice.
Although Liu Lele's skills are a little worse, she is not bad either. If you give her an article and teach her a few times, she can read it all out. In fact, reading well is secondary, the main thing is pronunciation.
There was absolutely no problem with Liu Lele's pronunciation. The English teacher couldn't help but stroke her forehead. How come she had never noticed that there was such a student in her class? Could it be that this student was too low-key, so low-key that even she didn't notice him.
And if Liu Ganliang continues at his current level, he will have no problem winning not only the city competition but also the provincial competition, and he can even make a breakthrough in the national competition.
Besides advising Liu Jing and Liu Lele to practice hard and not be arrogant, she did not publicize the matter. Whether it was true as she said would be known after the exam.
When it was time to go to the city for the competition, the school spent a lot of money to rent a car, and the dean of studies, the English teacher, and Liu Jing's class teacher, Teacher Qi, all came.
The only one who has this honor is Teacher Qi.
Who made her have two students who can participate in the city competition?
Amidst the envious, jealous and hateful gazes of the other teachers, they got on the bus and headed straight for the city.
The competition in the city is indeed much more formal than that in the county. In the county, it is just an exam, but in the city, they even hang up banners.
Liu Liang was not surprised to see the team from No. 7 Middle School. No. 7 Middle School was indeed No. 7 Middle School. It was no wonder that Xu Jiajia insisted on joining No. 7 Middle School. The fact that five or six of their team members made it to the semi-finals proved that they did have some skills.
As soon as Teacher Lin saw Liu Liang, his eyes looked as if he wanted to cut Liu Liang into pieces.
This worthless trash in her words actually snatched away the first place that belonged to No. 7 Middle School. He must have cheated. She just wanted to see how this trash would cheat again today.
Liu Liang tilted her head and suddenly smiled, but the smile was only at the corner of her lips, not in her eyes.
She turned around and walked into the examination room. In less than half an hour, she had finished answering all the questions.
There is a written test in the morning, and there is another competition in the afternoon, which is a live recitation. The two scores are added together to get the final score. The top three will be selected to participate in the provincial competition, and the Municipal Education Bureau will also give them a certificate of merit and a considerable scholarship.
Liu Liang has no interest in certificates of merit. She doesn't like to have them posted everywhere. She likes something more substantial. So just give her a scholarship. Although she is not short of money now, who would complain about having too little money?
The principal took a few teachers and students out to have a good meal. They ordered five or six dishes. For Jiangding Junior High School, which has always been short of funds, this meal was considered a bit of a loss.
After eating and drinking, we waited for the afternoon game.
The serial numbers of the competition are arranged according to the test numbers. This time there are more than 50 students in total, and the people invited to score are all teachers from high schools and even universities, so their professionalism is needless to say.
Liu Lele was the 21st to perform. She was not the first, but not the last either. However, it was still not a good position. After all, by this time, all the teachers were tired of listening. So whether Liu Lele could perform better depended on her real ability.
Liu Liang's test number was even worse than Liu Lele's. She was ranked 30th, which could be said to be the last.
The students in front went up one by one, including those from No. 7 Middle School. They spoke with great passion and expression, but Liu Liang did not take them seriously. To be honest, their grammar was not as good as Liu Lele's. There was only one of them, who was a top student in No. 7 Middle School and had lived abroad for a few years. He was also the candidate sent by No. 7 Middle School to get the first place.
Have you lived abroad?
Liu Jing propped up her face on the chair, and her eyes narrowed slightly. When she heard about it before, she thought it was very impressive, but only now did she realize that one cannot speak a foreign language well without living abroad.
However, she was surprised that she had never seen Xu Jiajia in such a competition. Didn't Xu Jiajia always go to every competition? It was because she won many awards for the school that the school paid so much attention to her. This was a provincial and municipal level competition, so why was she not there?
Until Liu Liang remembered again, it turned out that Xu Jiajia was just like many people. She only learned English in junior high school. So she was not the elegant, beautiful and talented socialite in her previous life. Now she had not reached the level to compete.
However, Liu Jing knew that they would meet again in other subjects.
"Le Le, don't worry." The English teacher patted Liu Le Le's shoulder. "Your spoken English is very good. Just perform at your usual level."
Liu Lele nodded and took a deep breath.
But what to do? She was still nervous. She had wiped her hands on herself several times. When her name was called, Liu Lele finally walked onto the stage.
Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous, just treat them as winter melons.
Liu Lele chanted sutras to herself from time to time. When she went on stage, she felt her legs were weak and she had an urge to turn back, but in the end she still stood in the middle of the stage with her weak legs.
She was on the verge of tears.
With trembling hands, she took out her speech from her body. At this moment, she really felt that she could not continue reading. However, when she read the first word, she suddenly felt as if blessings came from her heart, and she seemed not to be afraid at all.
My legs don’t shake anymore, my palms don’t sweat anymore, and I’m not nervous anymore.
"Yes," the teacher nodded. "Although there are some stumbling blocks, the grammar is quite good."
"The accent is good too."
Another teacher also joined in, with a very pure accent.
As they spoke, they were also counting with the pens in their hands. From their few words, it could be heard that the amount they gave to Liu Lele must be quite high.
When Liu Jing's name was called, Liu Jing straightened her clothes. Jiang Ding did not have a school uniform, but her own clothes, although not new, were clean. Her hair was also washed very clean and tied into a small ponytail. She felt that this was what a junior high school student should look like.
