Chapter 1136 Feeling Unwell
Knowing how Qiao Nan did it, she wanted to work hard and give it a try, but who knew it would be so difficult.
Since Yu Xiaoxiao was able to get a scholarship, her grades must be good.
The bad thing is that in many schools, English learning is all about dumb English. The written test ability is high, but once you open your mouth, everything is exposed.
Being a voluntary guide for foreign tourists in the Forbidden City depends on oral expression ability, which has nothing to do with written test ability.
In addition, Yu Xiaoxiao had nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, and more than half a year of college life. No one had asked her to speak Chinese or English on purpose.
Yu Xiaoxiao was so nervous that she couldn't even use the strength she had in class during high school.
The key is to rely on strength. With Yu Xiaoxiao's performance, they couldn't possibly accept her, so they tactfully told her that she could try somewhere else, as they couldn't accept her here.
Even this opportunity was only known to Yu Xiaoxiao after she followed Qiao Nan. If she could have found a social practice where she could perform better based on her own abilities, Yu Xiaoxiao would never have approached Qiao Nan.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoxiao does not want to give up and hopes that the other party will give her another chance.
Finally, Yu Xiaoxiao went directly to Qiao Nan, hoping that Qiao Nan would say something good for her and let her try again, because she was too nervous before and didn't perform well.
Qiao Nan was not feeling well, and her relationship with Yu Xiaoxiao was not particularly good.
The moment Yu Xiaoxiao appeared, Qiao Nan guessed that Yu Xiaoxiao must have been unwilling to give up and had followed her here somehow.
Based on this point, Qiao Nan has the reason and qualifications to be angry with Xiaoxiao.
Qiao Nan was generous enough not to argue with Yu Xiaoxiao about this matter. Now she was asked to plead for Yu Xiaoxiao. It would be strange if Qiao Nan agreed.
So, the scene of pulling and tugging that Liehua saw when he came happened.
"My classmate, you should go back as soon as possible. You are really not suitable for this job. You are from Peking University, and you have seen how busy we are here. I believe that you don't want to do something bad with good intentions and make me call your school, right?"
The people in the office looked serious and said they were not capable enough to help, but it was no big deal.
However, causing trouble here would not only have a bad impact, but would also delay their work.
Who would welcome a volunteer worker who turns into a troublemaker?
"No, I, I don't mean anything else, and I don't mean any harm. I just think this job is very meaningful, and I want to do my best to help. If that doesn't work, can I be a voluntary tour guide in Chinese?" Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. She was not good at speaking English, but she had no problem speaking Chinese.
The other party was amused after hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Everyone knows Chinese. Even if it is a voluntary job, it is not that easy. First of all, you have to know all the information about the Forbidden City and memorize it by heart. Second, if you really want to be an ordinary tour guide, is your Mandarin up to standard?"
Yes, compared to having to be fluent in English, Chinese people are definitely better at speaking Chinese.
But because of this, the more proficient you are in something, the higher the requirements will be.
The people in the office did not have high requirements for Qiao Nan's spoken English. First, Qiao Nan should try not to stutter when speaking. Second, basic expressions must be no problem.
As for the correctness of grammar and the like, they are not professionals and cannot judge. As long as Qiao Nan's words are understandable to foreign tourists, that is enough.
Of course, with repeated practice, Qiao Nan's oral English ability has improved, which has led to a continuous increase in their favorable ratings, which is a pleasant surprise.
Yu Xiaoxiao is very smart. She knows that the English path is not feasible, so she decides to take the path of our great China.
But she is also very stupid. Is there any Chinese person who doesn’t know how to speak Chinese?
Qiao Nan and Yu Xiaoxiao are not the only two people willing to be volunteers at the Forbidden City. As more and more people come, especially ordinary interpreters, the more people there are, the greater the competition will be, so their recruitment standards must be raised.
In a word, Yu Xiaoxiao is not good at English, and when it comes to Chinese, Yu Xiaoxiao is also unqualified.
It's nothing else, Chinese is based on Mandarin, and Mandarin is based on the local language of the capital.
When it comes to Mandarin, can people from other places compare with the locals in the capital?
So funny!
After hearing what the other party meant, Yu Xiaoxiao almost cried.
Yu Xiaoxiao's English is not fluent, but as for Mandarin, there is no problem in communication. However, Yu Xiaoxiao has no idea about the level of the test, after all, she has never taken it.
Yu Xiaoxiao sniffed and bowed to the people in the office and Qiao Nan. "I'm so sorry. I didn't understand the situation and caused us so much trouble. But can I ask again, if my English speaking ability meets the requirements or my Mandarin is good enough, I can come back in the second half of the year. Can you give me another chance?"
Yu Xiaoxiao did not make a fuss. Not only did she calm down, she also made a rational decision. This was in stark contrast to her previous nonsense and made people accept her.
The person in the office was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, as long as you meet the requirements, we are of course very welcome to you young people."
The volunteers they recruit are not necessarily good just because they are free, there are requirements for them.
Once the requirements are met, will they still complain about having a few more volunteers?
After getting a positive answer, Yu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She is only a freshman now, and she still has three years of college life. No matter what, she will strive for scholarships for her sophomore and junior years. This semester, she still has time, including the two months of summer vacation, to improve her oral English or Mandarin level.
After realizing this, Yu Xiaoxiao became even calmer: "Qiao Nan, I'm so sorry to bother you and cause you so much trouble. I'm sorry, thank you."
She found out this way by watching Qiao Nan.
The means were definitely dishonorable, but Yu Xiaoxiao didn't think she was wrong.
Qiao Nan didn't have much of a classmate relationship with her, otherwise, knowing her situation, shouldn't Qiao Nan have taken the initiative to help her?
Qiao Nan refused to help her, so she couldn't be blamed for finding a way to come to him.
After saying sorry, the guilt that Yu Xiaoxiao had always felt in her heart disappeared completely.
With the pressure in her heart gone, Yu Xiaoxiao left decisively, with a clear purpose in mind, and went back to "recharge".
Yu Xiaoxiao left in a brisk manner, but Qiao Nan's face became uglier and uglier, with cold sweat on his forehead: "Qiao, you look pale, are you feeling unwell?"
