Chapter 39: CET-4 and CET-6 - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
When I returned to the dormitory, Dong Yuan had just gotten up and was brushing her teeth in the bathroom.
"Yubao, get up quickly. It's already 8:20. Wash up and go to class!!!" Anyang hurried to wake Chen Yuyan up. She finally realized that waking others up was such an interesting thing. She rubbed Chen Yuyan's chubby face. Well, it felt so comfortable!
"Let go!!! I'm up, take your dog paws away!!!" Chen Yuyan felt that her face was about to be deformed by Anyang's hands.
After Chen Yuyan quickly washed up, Wen Yan took a quick shower, and her complexion slowly began to improve. She simply applied some toner and sunscreen before heading out. So, with only a few days of school starting, what's the current state of female college students? Wearing makeup? Why bother? She'd be better off getting more sleep if she had that kind of time.
Arriving at the classroom, Anyang started telling them what happened that morning as soon as he put down his books. Dong Yuan and Chen Yuyan were really scared by Wen Yan's appearance when he returned, thinking that the two had some kind of conflict. As they were thinking about how to persuade her, the dormitory was silent that morning, and no one spoke until they arrived at the classroom.
The three of them avoided Wen Yan and were gossiping about what Chen Qian had said to provoke Wen Yan like that.
Wen Yan was speechless as she watched the three of them gossip about her in what they thought was a very quiet voice. The voice was so quiet that it almost told her, "She heard it, tell them what happened this morning!"
"It's nothing. I thought I wasn't grumpy when I woke up, but I found that I overestimated myself. He was too noisy, which made me even more annoyed. Oh, and the most important thing is that he was too tactless!" Thinking of the president in the morning, Wen Yan was speechless.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm a little curious about what our future brother-in-law Wen will look like. What kind of person can capture the heart of our sister Wen? That Chen Qian doesn't sound that good, but his face looks pretty good." After hearing this, Chen Yuyan joked with schadenfreude.
"Hurry up and give it up. Do you like it? I'll give it to you." Wen Yan rolled her eyes again. She felt that maybe the posture she got up in today was wrong.
Ignoring the three people who were talking excitedly, I picked up the book and started reading the content of today's class.
This morning's class was elementary English listening. When the teacher came, he walked with a breeze, looked at the students below, introduced himself first, and then began to talk about his requirements.
"I have certain requirements for this course. First, talking is not allowed in class. You can choose not to listen, but you must be quiet. Listening classes require a quiet atmosphere, and talking is not allowed. Second, I will call on students to interact during class, and this will count towards your regular grade. Third, I will take roll calls from time to time. If you miss more than three classes without prior notice, you will be expected to retake the course next semester. Of course, missing a class will result in a corresponding credit loss. If you think you can get a perfect score, feel free to skip as much as you want. Fourth, I hope everyone understands that English is a language that requires careful study, so there will be a lot of homework, and it will come in a variety of forms. First, cheating is not allowed. Second, you must maintain a positive attitude. Whether you know the subject or not, I expect you to do your best to complete it. If you fail or fail to submit more than three assignments, you will not receive a regular grade, but you will be welcome to retake the course next semester. Of course, I will be with you for four years, so please be cautious."
Everyone in the class was shocked by what they heard. It seemed that the teacher of this course was not easy to deal with, and this course was not going to be easy either.
Then, the teacher began the class, speaking entirely in English. Everyone immediately took notice. Most Chinese students' English is still limited to test-taking, and they're still not good at speaking. They might be able to answer the questions on the test, but they might not be able to fully grasp the teacher's lectures. They just have to adapt. For top students, excellent Gaokao scores signify either self-discipline or exceptional intelligence.
Wen Yan listened very carefully. The words the teacher used in the lecture were not complicated, but the speed of speech was fast and the sentences were relatively coherent, so she had to pay attention and listen carefully.
Today might be the first class, and the teacher's intensity was not high enough, but it did give us a strong warning. During the whole class, everyone's spirits were not very good. We were extremely alert throughout the whole class, and now I feel like my head is buzzing.
Chen Yuyan took Wen Yan's hand, leaned her head on Wen Yan's shoulder, and let Wen Yan drag her away. She felt dizzy.
"I'm hungry. I feel like my stomach is empty. I can eat a whole cow!" Dong Yuan felt that taking the course was too tiring. She was from a minority ethnic group and her spoken English was not very good. She only had a vague understanding of the course and felt that she had used up all her strength.
The four of them hurried to the cafeteria. Dong Yuan went straight to the maocai section and ordered a large bowl of maocai. It would take Anyang and Chen Yuyan combined to finish the normal amount. Wen Yan was also hungry, so she bought a bowl of noodles with soybean paste and a glass of watermelon juice. The watermelon juice at their school was truly delicious. Chen Yuyan and Anyang opted for fast food, ordering two vegetables and two meats each.
The four of them had no time to talk. The people who were eating were silent and focused on eating with great relish.
After dinner, I went back to the dormitory to sleep without any delay.
The weather in September is still hot, but autumn seems to have arrived unknowingly. The autumn heat is very powerful, and the sultry weather makes it impossible for people to be interested in doing anything outdoors.
Several people turned on the air conditioner, covered themselves with quilts, and fell asleep as soon as they went to bed.
Wen Yan actually felt okay. She woke up after only an hour's sleep. The current difficulty wasn't great enough, and she could still handle it. Besides, she planned to learn a few more foreign languages later. An IQ of 90 was enough to rival 95% of the world's population. The average person's IQ was only around 30, and even the smartest ones were around 60. Only a handful of smart people in the world could reach 85 or above. With her current IQ, everything was easy to understand, and she could memorize everything with ease. So, the key was to read and practice more.
I was lying on the bed, browsing Weibo and looking at the high-definition photos of her little brother at work. I was completely fascinated by him when a WeChat message popped up.
Counselor: "The registration channel for CET-4 and CET-6 has been opened. Students who want to register for CET-4, please go to the following website to register and then report your name to the study committee. The study committee will then make a statistics report to me."
There were rows of "Received" replies below. After reading them, Wen Yan also replied "Received" and then set the message to Do Not Disturb.
I got up from the bed, walked down the stairs quietly, sat on the stool, turned on the computer, and opened the website to register. It was more convenient to use the computer to open the registration website. The sooner the better. I passed the CET-4 and CET-6 this semester and the CET-6 next semester. If I passed both CET-4 and CET-6 in my freshman year, I wouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
It was almost two o'clock when the three of them woke up one after another.
"Wen Yan, why didn't you sleep? Aren't you sleepy?" Anyang asked Wen Yan while holding the quilt. The morning class was too brain-straining, and she felt awake only after waking up from a nap.
"I'm fine. I slept for a while and I'm not sleepy anymore. By the way, check the group message. Registration for CET-4 and CET-6 has started. I've already registered. If you want to register, hurry up and do it. My advice is to apply. CET-4 isn't that difficult. If you all get into the English major, it means you all scored over 130 on the Gaokao English test. So, CET-4 won't be a problem for us." S University's English major isn't something you can just get into. Not only do you need a high Gaokao score, but you also need to score over 130 on the English test. If your scores are the same, whoever has the higher English score will be given priority. Of course, Wen Yan got a perfect score on the Gaokao English test.
"Okay, I'll sign up now." Anyang immediately opened his phone and checked it. He replied "received" and got out of bed to turn on his computer.
Dong Yuan and Chen Yuyan were still in a daze, but after listening to the conversation between the two, they finally realized what was happening and started to get out of bed to sign up.
Except for Dong Yuan, Wen Yan's dormitory didn't have a computer. The other three had brought their own from home. "Dong Yuan, you can use mine. It's more convenient." Wen Yan handed his computer to Dong Yuan.
"OK."
