Chen Yun, the spoiled girl in their dormitory, successfully applied to change her dormitory, but she also started to oppose the five of them.
This also gave Yu You an opportunity, saving her the need to go to the teacher's office to recommend herself.
Teacher Wang Honghou said, "Today, we will focus on English reading. Before the class begins, I would like to understand everyone's English level."
"Open the article on page three of the textbook. Everyone, please read it in order, starting from the first row."
As luck would have it, the five people sitting in the first row were Yu You and the other two. The one on the far left was Su Bei.
This article contained some relatively long words, and Su Bei read it a little haltingly, but he managed to finish it.
The next one was Liu Pandi. Liu Pandi stood up and opened his mouth, hesitating a little.
Her hometown is very backward and there are not many English teachers. She still had to memorize a lot in the special examinations of the college entrance examination.
But her listening and speaking skills can be said to be extremely poor.
Chen Yun sneered, "This foundation is too poor. Wouldn't it slow down everyone's progress if we took classes together?"
Teacher Wang corrected him, "Educational levels vary from place to place, so this phenomenon is natural. Student, why don't you read it to everyone?"
Chen Yun: "Great! I collected several English books while preparing for the exam, and I've memorized a lot of words."
After that, Chen Yun began to read. Aside from his poor pronunciation and a few unfamiliar words he glossed over, his overall level was not bad for the class.
Small compliments came one after another. Liu Pandi pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Yu You patted her hand soothingly, whispered to Liu Pandi not to worry, and then stood up.
"Teacher Wang, I'd like to read it to you too."
Teacher Wang pushed his glasses up on his nose. "Oh? It seems this class of students is quite confident. Okay, then, you can read it."
Yu You looked at the article and first read it in pure American English.
Special explosive sounds, friction sounds, nasal sounds and glissandos came out of Yu You's mouth one by one, sounding very curly and very contagious.
Students, lie down!
After reading it once, Yu You did not pause and continued: "Next, I\u0027ll read it again in English."
"Next, I will read it again in British accent."
The British accent is rhythmic, smooth and coherent, with a certain singing tone, which is very enjoyable to listen to.
The teacher also lay down!
Chen Yun's face flushed crimson, she was speechless from being crushed. She could never imagine that Yu You, a person from a small place, could speak such good English.
The classroom was so quiet that you could even hear a pin drop.
Fierce applause gradually broke out, and Teacher Wang excitedly asked, "Student, what's your name?"
Yu You said his name.
Teacher Wang murmured, "You're the top student in the country? No wonder you're so good at English too."
This is clearly better than any of their teachers.
The students below had already started to whisper. After all, due to the lack of information, many people didn't know that Yu You was the number one in the country.
"I didn't expect that the first in the country would be in our class."
"It's simply too good to be true. I'm completely convinced. Even if I had two more legs, I still couldn't catch up."
"You pronounced it so beautifully. I never knew there were British and American accents in English."
Teacher Wang then asked, "Yu You, do you have any good study methods to recommend to the students?"
Yu You looked at his classmates who all looked expectant, and shared some learning methods for the future.
"You have to spend time memorizing words. Twenty words a day will add up in a year."
"Listen carefully to the teacher's explanations in grammar class, take good notes, and do plenty of exercises."
"As for speaking, the most effective way is to keep reading and memorizing the text."
“Everyone can find a place in the teaching building and set up an English corner where only English can be spoken.”
"When I don't have classes, I go there to read and memorize the texts and have simple conversations in English."
"Language learning is a continuous process. If you persist every day and accumulate more knowledge, you will naturally master it."
Clap, clap, clap. Teacher Wang led the applause.
"Yu You's remarks are very good. We can all learn from them and strive to master this language as soon as possible."
"Our country is currently in dire need of talented translators. Everyone here is the hope of the country."
"Okay, everyone, open your textbooks now and let's learn today's vocabulary."
…
After class, Wang Honghou called Yu You directly to his office.
Their school has received translation work from the country one after another. Although the teachers have set up a translation team, the progress is very slow.
Because I didn’t have a thorough grasp of the vocabulary, I had to use a dictionary for many of them, and then discuss and verify them before they could be finalized.
The most important thing is that the current English-Chinese dictionary is still in its first edition and its content is not as comprehensive as the modern one.
Many things cannot be found directly and require looking up other materials.
There is a large amount of information waiting to be translated, and there is simply not enough time.
Wang Honghou shouted to the other teachers in the office, "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Fang, Teacher Yang, all of you stop what you are doing."
"This is Yu You, a freshman in our department. Her English is very good, and I want her to join our translation team."
Yu You...Teacher Wang is in his fifties, but he is so decisive and efficient in doing things.
Didn't you discuss this with her personally?
Several teachers followed Wang Honghou's gesture and looked at Yu You. Although he was already 25 years old, he looked like he was in his early twenties because of his good maintenance.
She has picturesque features, a tall and graceful figure, and is quite good-looking. But what does this have to do with translation?
Teacher Zhang asked in confusion, "Teacher Wang, are you kidding? How good is such a young student's English? We're so busy right now, we don't have time to help her study."
Wang Honghou was persistent: "You haven't heard her read English before, but you can tell the whole story from just one look. Her skills are no worse than ours."
Yu You...Thank you, you really flatter me.
Teacher Zhao asked with interest, "Is that so? Well, I have this economic report that no one wants to translate. Yu You, right? See how much you can translate?"
You can't fool people with their job. You'll know whether it's a mule or a horse just by taking it out for a walk.
Yu You waved his hands: "Teachers, I, I don't want to be a translator."
Wang Honghou said earnestly, "Our country is currently in dire need of talented translators and diplomats. Since you have the ability, why not give it a try?"
"Besides, the government has provided funding, and translating documents can also bring in a considerable income."
Yu You...that's possible.
God knows how much she needs money now. The newly bought courtyard house is still empty.
"How do you calculate the money?"
Dear teachers...when everyone is shouting about dedicating themselves to the country, this student is really straightforward!
