The next day, Chu Yao and her friends came to the Foreign Languages School again under the guidance of their teacher. This time, they did not wait outside, but came directly to the venue of yesterday's competition.
Due to the participation of many students, they had five topics to choose from this time, and they could just choose according to their preferences. Also, the time for the test was no longer ten minutes, but was extended to 25 minutes per person. This way, there was much more time from topic selection to introduction and conclusion.
Chu Yao saw that many of her classmates breathed a sigh of relief, and so did she.
There were only five topics to choose from this time. After Chu Yao looked at the five topics carefully, she thought for a while and decided to choose one that was a bit difficult.
After selecting the topic, Chu Yao carefully made an outline in her notebook. She planned to take an unconventional approach with this topic.
Everyone also had one hour to choose, and after one hour, they still gave their speeches by drawing lots.
An hour later, everyone started drawing lots.
Chu Yao and her team were lucky this time. Everyone was in the top 50. At this point in time, the judges wouldn't be too tired, and if they had any shining points, they would be easily remembered by the judges.
Also, the students participating in the competition this time were not in the backstage, which meant they could not see the speeches of the students in front of them. This time they were waiting in an empty classroom.
Chu Yao looked at the ranking carefully and calculated the time in her mind. Except for Lu Ranran and Li Li who would compete at around ten o'clock, the other three of them could compete within an hour or two after the lunch break.
This gives those competing in the afternoon more confidence, as they have more time to prepare.
Lu Ranran went in, Li Li went in, and the surrounding students also went in one by one. Soon, time turned to break, but at this time, bad news came: students who had not yet competed could not leave. They had to stay in the classroom. This was to prevent students who had finished competing from spreading bad news, and to prevent students who had not yet competed from cheating.
Fortunately, the Foreign Language School took care of their lunch, but the canteen aunties delivered it.
Chu Yao didn't think it mattered. The other students had all come from difficult environments, so they felt even less concerned.
After the break, Chu Yao and the others went in quickly.
Chu Yao made full use of the short 25 minutes. She spent one minute introducing herself and then used the rest of the time to answer questions of her choice.
Chu Yao also carefully observed that there was a female judge who was about fifty years old and she dressed very neatly.
Chu Yao also saw the excitement in the eyes of the other judges, and she knew that she had made the right move.
Next was the competition for others. Chu Yao and the other students who had already finished the competition were just waiting for the results.
Due to the large number of participants, the competition lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening. There were eliminations and the rules for tomorrow's competition had to be announced. After all this, the competition ended at ten o'clock, and it was already eleven o'clock when Chu Yao returned home.
Fortunately, the result is good and Chu Yao can smoothly participate in the third game tomorrow.
Sixty people were eliminated in the second game, which shows how cruel the competition was.
