Chapter 49 Homework - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
On Tuesday, Wen Yan and Anyang checked in and bought soy milk and fried dough sticks. These two things are a perfect match for breakfast.
By the time they got back, Dong Yuan had already woken Chen Yuyan up. According to their biological clocks, their sleep and rest schedules were pretty much set at the start of the school year. As long as they didn't stay up too late the previous night, they'd definitely be able to get up the next day. The advantage of having someone in the dorm having a boyfriend was that the boyfriend would get them to go to bed early, and the group of late-nighters would automatically disband.
"What class are we having next?" Chen Yuyan asked others while dipping her hand into the soy milk. She filled the fried dough sticks with soy milk and took a sip. It was amazing.
"When it comes to English reading, I've discovered that teachers in this major are more difficult to deal with than the other. On the contrary, teachers like those in Xingce or Mao Zedong Thought are very easy to talk to. Generally, they will ignore you unless you are too strict. The most terrifying one is the listening teacher. I still remember the show of power he gave me in the last class very clearly." Anyang thought about the last listening class. The listeners felt dizzy and it gave him a headache just thinking about it.
"Eat quickly, clean up, and go early. This teacher likes to arrive early, so it's not good to go late." Wen Yan urged everyone. Dong Yuan and she had already cleaned up, but the other two were still eating slowly without changing their clothes.
"Right away, last bite, almost done," Chen Yuyan responded, sipping her soy milk. Anyang stuffed the last bite of the fried dough stick into his mouth and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
They arrived at the classroom ten minutes before class started. Wen Yan pulled them to a seat in the middle-right area, which was suitable for listening to the class without being noticed.
Just two minutes after I sat down, the teacher came in from the door. The class was still taught entirely in English, and the teacher started to introduce new content as soon as he came in.
Everyone clutched their notebooks, taking notes, their minds racing. The text was about the history of British economic development, filled with unfamiliar vocabulary. The teacher lectured at a brisk pace, and soon most of the class had lost track. The text, covering three pages and six pages, was long and complex. While the teacher was captivated, the students' minds were blank.
Half of the class was over and the teacher started asking questions.
"Speak so much, through this article, I want to find a classmate to summarize, the cause of coal industry decline in Britain's industrial economy, who can answer me"
Many people in the class had not yet reacted. The teacher was asking questions and thought he was still teaching. Some people understood that the teacher was asking questions, but they had no idea what the teacher meant.
"Wen Yan, the teacher is asking a question, right? Can you hear what he means?" Dong Yuan pulled Wen Yan's sleeve and asked in a low voice. The classroom was quiet and no one responded at all.
"Well, what the teacher asked is, 'After talking so much about this article, I want to find a classmate to summarize the reasons for the decline of the coal mining industry in the British industrial economy. Is there anyone who can answer me?'" Wen Yan explained to a few people in a low voice.
"All right, so if there's no answer, I'm going to call on someone I've been curious about,Wenyan"
Just as she was about to explain her answer, she heard her name. Dong Yuan and the others were still waiting for Wen Yan to explain when they saw her suddenly stand up. Huh? What happened? Why did she stand up so suddenly? It was a bit sudden.
The person on the stage was an older professor named Huang Jie. When Wen Yan entered the school, the news spread like wildfire among the teachers. They were very curious about this girl and wanted him to see what the level of this top student was like. He was very much looking forward to it.
"Hello teacher, I'm wenyan, about this problem, I concluded that the reasons for the decline are as follows: exhaustion of old mines, costly operations of extraction, poor old equipment, little investment, fall in demand due to imports of cleaner, cheaper and more efficient fuels, etc."
Very good. They didn’t understand what the teacher said, and they also didn’t understand what Wen Yan said. They could only pretend that they understood and nodded. Yes, that’s right.
Huang Jie was very satisfied after hearing this. The wording was precise and completely correct. Very good, very good! He led the applause, praising Wen Yan for her response and letting her sit down.
So a bunch of people saw the professor suddenly start asking questions, Wen Yan suddenly stood up, and then they and the professor inexplicably started clapping together. So what happened? No more than five people could hear and understand this wave of operations just now.
At the end of the class, Huang Jie assigned an assignment, the first of the semester, due by Monday. Each student was to write a summary of the overall meaning of today's essay and their personal reflections. This should be in English, of course. He then added, "Wen Yan, your assignment is to write a summary of the history of British economic development. The events and timeline must be complete, and the dates must be the same. Submit it to my office by Monday."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether the people below understood or not, and just said "get out of class dismissed!"
After the teacher left, Dong Yuan pulled Wen Yan aside and asked her what the teacher had just said.
Wen Yan felt a bit of a headache. Why was she being stared at by the teacher? She had no idea how conspicuous it would be to have someone who was clear-headed and could keep up with the teacher's thinking among a group of confused and ignorant faces. "Nothing, just an assignment. Just treat it as an English composition. Translate the article and add your own thoughts."
"Oh~" There were more than three people in the dormitory around, and many people reacted and quickly told their companions.
Walking down the street after school, Chen Yuyan saw Wen Yan's expression of despair and asked in surprise, "This homework is difficult for us, but it's not difficult for you, right? Why do you feel like you're going to die heroically?"
Wen Yan sighed, alas!
"My homework is different from yours. He finally assigned me a separate one, asking me to write a summary of the history of British economic development, and also required me to write down the time events clearly." Wen Yan looked at the three of them with envy, with a look of "you are so happy". Translation is so easy to write, but she couldn't finish five pages of it, and it was required to be written entirely in English, and she had to choose the words carefully. Alas, she was so miserable.
The three were stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
