“Go, go, go! Cheer for Shui Shui! ” Mu Qing nodded, indicating that she wanted to go. She was also very curious.
These two curious people both wanted to go.
Shui Shui looked at it indifferently. “If you want to go, then go. It doesn’t matter. ”
She felt that there was nothing to see. Moreover, these two people’s English was not that good. It was expected that they would not be able to understand it at that time. At that time, they would probably feel bored. However, the two of them were kind enough to support her, so she naturally wouldn’t say anything to dampen their interest.
Noon arrived very quickly. After class, everyone went straight to the cafeteria. This time, Jiang Xinyu went to eat with them.
Jiang Xinyu saw that Mu Zilin kept lowering his head and blushing, which made Mu Zilin feel embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said, “classmate, you don’t have to be like this. We’re all in the same class. ”
“Aren’t you going to eat with your girlfriend today? ” Mu Qing asked in puzzlement when she saw that Mu Zilin was following them.
Mu Ziyu put his hands in his pockets and smiled wretchedly. “What’s the matter? I can eat with whoever I want to eat with. ”
The four of them walked along the school corridor. As there were more and more people, their footsteps also quickened.
“Isn’t that Yu Xiumin in front? What a coincidence! ” Mu Qing winked at Shui Shui.
Shui Shui smiled faintly and patted Mu Qing’s shoulder lightly. “Don’t make a fuss. If there’s a misunderstanding, it’ll be awkward. ”
Ming Ming didn’t have any intentions towards the other party, but Mu Qing was making such a big fuss about it. If the other party saw it, they would think that she was paying attention to him. That wouldn’t be good.
She didn’t pay attention to these people in the first place. It was Mu Qing’s loud voice just now. When the other party looked over, she was still smiling at her. It could also be that she was narcissistic and didn’t think too much about it.
They came to the cafeteria to eat. They didn’t say much because they had to go to the concert hall at 12:30. Their class ended at 11:50 and they went to the cafeteria to line up to eat. It was already 12:05.
The four of them sped up and ate. Shui Shui was still eating slowly, but her speed was also faster than before.
After eating their fill, it was 12:30 PM in five minutes. They rushed to the concert hall.
They were full and couldn’t run. They just walked faster. Shui Shui looked at the time. “We’ll make it in time. ”
Jiang Xinyu was a little nervous. “Shui Shui, do you feel nervous? ”
“No, I don’t think I’ll make it anyway. ” Shui Shui was still very relaxed and indifferent.
Jiang Xinyu couldn’t be as calm as Shui Shui. She was so envious of Shui Shui. She didn’t seem to be afraid at all. She was very brave. “Shui Shui, do you have a secret? It’s to make yourself not so afraid. ”
“My method might not be suitable for you. Besides, I’m so angry that I didn’t think too much about it. It’s more casual. ” Shui Shui couldn’t say it out loud. She couldn’t possibly be experienced at times like this.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t continue asking. She could only keep saying to herself, “it’s okay. Don’t be nervous. Other people can do it. I can do it. ”
When they arrived at the concert hall, many of the seats in the back row were taken. It was obvious that they were the audience.
Shui Shui and Jiang Xinyu walked down. The two of them sat in the back row and watched.
In front of them was the form. They needed to fill in the form.
The two of them went down and reported their names to a teacher. The teacher checked the computer and said, “fill in the form. Class name. ”
Shui Shui picked it up and saw that it was a form in English. However, she only needed to fill in the name and class. Then, she quickly filled it out and took it, waiting for arrangements.
A teacher stood up and clapped his hands “Alright, the contestants line up. Now, one by one, go up to the stage and bring the form over. As for the contestants, they can do as they please for two minutes. They can tell stories in English, or they can tell their own experiences, or they can tell you some news that you’ve seen before. ”
“You can start now. Line up. Go up one by one. We’ll tell you on the spot if you’ve passed, ” the teacher said seriously. This time, there were more than 30 people, but they only needed three people, so they had to first weed out a portion of them Then they would see what they could choose.
They lined up, and the first person was pushed up. It was a boy. He watched nervously, and it was actually pushed out. It was still the first person. He did not want to be the first, but now he had no choice. He braced himself and stood up, and began to introduce himself in English Then he stammered in awkward English. Perhaps he was too nervous. After it was over, the boy stood up nervously and looked at the teacher below.
“sorry, your English is still pretty good, but you still need to work hard to learn. Don’t be discouraged. There is still a chance. ” The teacher said seriously and let the next person go on stage.
This student lowered her head and walked away.
The next student became even more nervous. When she walked on stage, her hands were still shaking. “that. ”
She had accidentally spoken Chinese at the beginning, so she quickly changed her words.
Jiang Xinyu was beside her and patted her small chest. “So scary. That teacher was too serious and directly said that she was unqualified. ”
“It’s okay, don’t worry too much. Just be yourself. ” Shui Shui comforted Jiang Xinyu. Seeing her nervous look, she smiled. She didn’t have any intention of mocking her, but just smiled.
Jiang Xinyu took a deep breath. “It’s okay, it’s okay. ”
Shui Shui smiled and nodded. “Good Luck. ”
A few people in front passed, and then it was Shui Shui’s turn. She handed in the form and stood on the big stage, looking down with a smile.
Mu Qing was still giving Shui Shui two thumbs up, cheering for Shui Shui Shui.
Shui Shui looked at the three examiners and spoke in fluent and bright English. She stood up to talk about an international news about physics. It was about a new discovery in the galaxy.
Many words were unfamiliar to most of the English teachers.
Of the three examiners, only the foreign teacher understood them completely. He kept nodding his head with a satisfied smile on his face. The two third-year English teachers originally thought that it was because of Shui Shui Shui’s vocabulary, but it was not the case. Because the foreign teacher understood and smiled so happily, did they not understand the words?
After two minutes, Shui Shui smiled and nodded. She looked at the three examiners and the three examiners said a few words. She told them who said she had passed the test.
There were a total of 12 people who had passed the test. They were left behind while the others left.
It was almost time. The foreign teacher started to spout a bunch of words at a very fast speed.
When the other party stopped, Shui Shui replied in fluent English. The foreign teacher was asking them how they felt about the competition or what they had to say about it. She hoped that they would be able to voice out their opinions.
What followed next was the time for them to express their opinions freely.
Shui Shui could not be bothered to wait any longer and directly expressed her views. She felt that such a model would easily strike down the students’self-confidence. In any case, she was just spouting nonsense. She only stopped after she was almost done spouting nonsense.
Some of the better English teachers also started to express their views, but only a few of them did not.
The foreign teacher nodded. He recorded down the seven people who answered his question. “tomorrow at noon, the seven of you will come over. ”
The foreign teacher still spoke to them in English. After all, he did not know Chinese.
When they were dismissed, the foreign teacher stopped Shui Shui and said in English, “you can pass directly. You don’t need to go through the second round tomorrow. Leave your email. I will send you some details through the email. ”
“Okay, thank you. ” Shui Shui could feel the difference in standards. She was not surprised that the foreign teacher would let her pass directly.
Although she did not study abroad, she had put in a lot of effort in order to study many books. During University, she memorized words every day. In any case, she had persisted for four years. At the same time, she listened to the English radio in the morning. When she had the chance.. She would chat with the foreign students at school to practice her spoken English. Therefore, she had nothing to worry about in this aspect.
“Wow, that girl is so amazing. Her spoken English is very good. Does she not need to think about what she is saying? ” Some students could not help but whisper.
Then, no one said anything unfair about the difference in strength. Everyone had seen her performance just now. They were just curious as to why this girl was so amazing. In the end, when they asked around, they found out that she was still a first-year high school student, which made them a little surprised.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t pass. She was too nervous. She didn’t pass, but she didn’t leave directly either. She just sat at the back and watched how they were doing. When she heard Shui Shui Shui’s speech, she suddenly realized that she wasn’t as fluent as Qian Shuishui even though she had attended so many cram schools Moreover, she didn’t understand what Shui Shui was saying at all. “Shui Shui is so powerful. Her spoken language is so fluent. Others are a little hesitant, but she said it out loud. Did she study abroad before? ”
She was sitting next to Mu Qing. When she spoke, they all heard it.
Mu Zilin knew about Qian Shuishui’s situation. “How can she study abroad? Shui Shui has never been abroad before. ”
