"New members may not know this, but this competition is highly prestigious. It not only offers generous prize money, but also certificates of honor and trophies. In addition, schools and colleges give you different bonus points, which will be of great use when you choose a job in the future!"
Ke Meiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She racked her brains and came to the conclusion that there was money to be made!
"Of course, as members of the foreign language association that organized this competition, we will also receive different scores based on our participation. So everyone must participate actively."
Everyone responded loudly, as if they were on steroids; there was no way around it—credits trumped everything in school, that was the truth.
Ke Meiyu, Huo Chengfang, and Xia Haifeng were all in Group Two. The group leader was a fair-skinned senior student named Liu Biaobing, who led about fifteen or sixteen people. The foreign language corner they were in charge of was located in the stone corridor next to the Art Pit.
The group leader first led the group members to welcome the new members, and then began to assign tasks. "Let's write a few big-character posters and post them in the teaching buildings and dormitories near the pit. Then, leave one or two group members under each poster to introduce the importance of the foreign language corner to the students who are reading the posters, and mention the foreign language speech."
"Actually, we still need our students, especially second-year students, to participate in foreign language speeches. So during breaks, everyone should work hard to persuade students who are good at foreign languages to join us."
"I believe none of them want to give up this opportunity; it just depends on which group they join."
After he finished speaking, he habitually added, "That's all I wanted to say. Now that you've written your big-character posters, do you have anything to add?"
The other members shook their heads, but Ke Meiyu raised her hand and said, "I think we can write a script and broadcast it on the radio so that more people can learn about the event in detail through the school radio."
Everyone was stunned. One of the girls couldn't help but say, "Ke's idea is good, but the school radio broadcasts the same content every day. The schedule is full, and we rarely get to accept such broadcasts."
"Besides, our association's leadership isn't particularly good, and we don't have much contact with the school radio station."
Xia Haifeng said with a smile, "Student Ke works at the school radio station."
This sentence made everyone pause again, and then they looked at Ke Meiyu with envy and admiration. Suddenly they remembered, "Oh dear, how could I forget? Ke spoke on the radio at noon, but I was washing my hair at the time, and the noise was so loud that I didn't hear her name, but her voice was so beautiful!"
The others also started discussing amongst themselves, and then all of them looked eagerly at Ke Meiyu.
"Ke, although you're from the radio station, you're still new here. Could you help our Foreign Language Association broadcast this message?" the group leader asked hesitantly.
"I can't say 100%, I can only give it a try," Ke Meiyu said with a smile. "I think holding foreign language corners and participating in foreign language speeches are great things, and we should spread the word."
After the meeting, everyone started writing big-character posters by hand.
Ke Meiyu's calligraphy is beautiful, especially the artistic font.
She noticed that the bulletin boards in front of the teaching buildings and dormitories were covered with all sorts of big-character posters. Apart from the different sizes and colors of the paper and the varying beauty of the characters, she could see everything at a glance and yet notice nothing at all.
"Does the team leader have any paint?" Ke Meiyu asked.
Because she was a radio member, everyone trusted her a lot and stopped what they were doing to look at her curiously.
Faced with the silent question from the crowd, Ke Meiyu smiled and said, "I think if the big-character posters are written and decorated nicely, people will be more likely to be attracted to them."
People in this era are used to following the rules and regulations, and all their actions and habits follow those of their predecessors. Moreover, those who produce colorful posters are mostly art students, and students from other colleges rarely excel at it.
They wrote big-character posters that were serious and simple in their narrative, without putting too much thought into them.
"Okay, what else does Ke need? I'll try to get it for him," the group leader asked.
"Just paint, thick white paper (preferably with some gold glitter), and scissors."
After the group leader wrote it down, he rode his bike straight to the Academy of Fine Arts, a round trip that took half an hour, and then handed the item over, panting.
Ko Mei-yu has already drawn a draft in her notebook.
She noticed that the Foreign Language Association only had a name and no logo, so she casually sketched a simple drawing: the letters ABC playfully hanging on two calligraphy brushes to form a triangle, implying that foreign languages are just two strokes of Xia Hua's brush, giving people the psychological suggestion that foreign languages are not difficult, which is also very suitable for the theme of the Foreign Language Corner.
A group of people couldn't help but surround Ke Meiyu and help her out. Some cut the gold glitter paper into small pieces and sprinkled it on with glue when Ke Meiyu wrote large characters, while others followed her instructions to color it.
Ke Meiyu's calligraphy is beautiful and fluid, and with its vibrant colors, it seems to come alive, giving people a cheerful and lively illusion. She succinctly explained the establishment of the foreign language corner, highlighting the importance of foreign languages and the generous rewards for the speech contest.
The various illustrations made up of letters are full of fun, beautiful and stylish. Add some lace, and the whole poster will definitely be the coolest thing on the bulletin board.
Everyone was quite excited, and with Ke Meiyu's encouragement, they all boldly tried writing as well.
After joining the club, Ke Meiyu truly experienced how a spinning top rotates!
She joined the dormitory management department of the student union, where she and another senior student were responsible for checking dormitories and maintaining cleanliness in a building.
And the volunteer association also has activities this weekend...
Ke Meiyu suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. In the past, she was the one who bothered others, but she never expected that she would have too much fun this time and get herself into trouble too!
