218 English Contest in Provincial Cities VI
Wang Ping got off the stage and decided to rewrite her manuscript.
Qin Feng happened to go home that day. Since his company moved to Hong Kong, he has started to fly in the air and often run around the world. He rarely went back to his parents' home in the provincial capital with Cheng Heng. He saw his mother on the TV and watched with relish.
Qin Feng glanced at it and found that it was not a bloody drama, eight o'clock family ethics TV series. Although he didn't watch TV much, he knew that his mother loved to watch these TV series when she retired and was always at home. Today, she was watching the live TV broadcast of the English competition of high school students in S Province. She couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Although his mother was a high-level senior official before retirement, their generation also learned Russian and did not know how to speak English at all. Why are they so interested in English competitions for a group of little kids today?
So he simply sat on the sofa, peeled an orange for his mother, and asked, "Mom, why are you interested in this today?"
Qin Feng's mother took the orange he handed over and said, "There is a girl participating in the competition. She is the daughter of your sixth uncle. She asked her to qualify for the line and ask us to take care of the competition. After all, we are relatives. Let me see if it is really that outstanding. If this kind of fraud against national live TV competition is too serious, I dare not come forward to help. If this little girl is really capable, it doesn't matter if I go to Beijing to say hello and let her win the prize, so I have a look first. However, I took a few glances and the little girl was really good. After watching it, she and the other girl were more outstanding. I guess this time we will leave Beijing for the competition. They are the two of them."
Qin Feng also took an orange and was about to peel it. When his hand suddenly became cold, Cheng Heng on the side who looked up and smiled slightly at him. It turned out that the orange had been peeled for him and stuffed it into his palm.
Qin Feng smiled at Cheng Heng, spread half of it, ate half of it himself, and stuffed the other half into her mouth.
Qin Feng's mother felt relieved when she saw the young couple so sweet and harmonious. She was not the kind of evil mother-in-law who was so jealous and could not stand her son and wife. She did not think that her son would forget her mother's strange thoughts when she had a wife. When her son grew up, she would naturally have his own life. Besides, Cheng Heng is a girl from the Cheng family. Even if she wanted to give her a look, she had to take care of the family behind Cheng Heng. So she couldn't help but be very happy to see that her younger son and his wife could get along so harmoniously and sweetly.
Qin Feng finished eating oranges in his mouth. The third round of speech officially began. The first girl who came to the evening dress in a princess dress style. His mother pointed it at him: "Here, it's this girl, Qin Qing, she still said it was your cousin. She came to our house as a guest. Do you still remember?"
Qin Feng shook his head. The Qin family is a big family. The sixth uncle said he was a cousin, but the relationship was already a little far away. It was not his cousin, but his grandfather's cousin's child. When his generation was in a distance, he had no impression and was naturally understandable.
The content of the girl's speech was interesting. She first recited a classic line from "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare:
Romeo, why are you Romeo? Denied your father and abandon your name. Maybe you are unwilling to do so, so as long as you are my lover first, I don’t have to worry about Kedbert.
Because only your name is my enemy; even if you don't have a surname, you are still like this, what does it matter if you don't have a surname, you have no surname, you have no surname, you have no relationship? It is not a hand, you have no feet, you have no arms, you have no face, or any other part of the body. Ah! Change a name! Name is meaningless; if we change a flower, the fragrance of the rose, it will still be the same fragrance; if Romeo changes another name, his lovely perfection will never change at all. Romeo abandons your name; I am willing to compensate you for this empty name outside of my body.
She was wearing a Western-style evening dress and stood on the stage, reciting this legendary line with great emotion, just like the beautiful and unparalleled noble lady in the 16th century standing on the balcony of the garden and chanting this confession to her lover, ups and downs...
The fascinating tone of Middle English, Shakespeare's beautiful and gorgeous rhetoric, the beautiful and exquisite face of a girl, and the background of the stage that is both real and illusory, seem to make people in the fictional and dreamy world written by Shakespeare.
After finishing her chanting, Qin Qing began to point out her topic. Her hobby was to watch dramas. She liked Shakespeare's works the most. She usually rehearsed Shakespeare's plays with her classmates in school, and also talked about her understanding of Shakespeare's works.
Because this hobby is quite unique, and there are also bonus points for memorizing Shakespeare's famous works, one of the judges even boasted that few students who are native English speakers can truly calm down and read his works, let alone she has such a deep understanding.
Qin Qing thanked her generously and decently, turned around and left the stage. With her like her, a boy coming up from behind was much worse. Her slightly nervous performance and her speech that were not very exciting could be compared to Qin Qing's excellence at once.
Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Well, it's good. Although his pronunciation and tone are not pure British English, it's pretty good for a girl who is so young to write such in-depth and insightful manuscripts. The judge said it well, and those classmates I met in the UK are afraid that they haven't even read a piece by Shakespeare."
His mother sneered when she heard this and turned around and looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked.
Qin Feng's mother smiled: "I remember you were not so stupid when you were a child? Why are you going back more and more now? How could that manuscript be written by her own? Someone hired an English teacher from abroad to help her write the manuscript, and a foreign teacher specially helped her correct her oral pronunciation. OK? There was a debate session just now. I guess the little girl of the Qin family also asked to prepare the questions first. Otherwise, she would not be so powerful. I have never heard of a lot of names of people, so she could just squeeze it. Your cousin asked me to go to Beijing to say hello to him. That's the same thing. That's when the questions of the national competition will be prepared first. Then the results will be easy to get results during the competition, and we will be easier to operate behind the scenes. Her outstanding results are there, so that she can get first, and others will not have any gossip."
Qin Feng said "Oh", and when he learned the truth, he felt that it was normal: "I'm talking about it. There are not so many genius boys..." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Heng exclaimed first, then turned to look at Qin Feng: "This is not..."
Qin Feng looked at the little girl who appeared on the TV and nodded at Cheng Heng: "It's her."
It was Wang Ping who played on TV.
Hearing the conversation between Qin Feng and Cheng Heng, Qin Feng's mother was a little confused and asked, "Who are you talking about? This is her. Who is she?"
Qin Feng pointed to Wang Ping on the TV and said indifferently: "Oh, nothing, a friend I know is pretty good, Cheng Heng knows it too."
Qin Feng's mother nodded in a clear way: "Oh. So that's it. This is another girl I just said who performed well. Since you both know each other, she is also from your small circle, right? Who is her parents? Do I know? The surname is Wang, is he the daughter of Minister Wang's family? It seems that she has also obtained the question in advance. No wonder she forced the fat man to cry just now..."
Qin Feng shook his head and said lightly: "No." But he knew in his heart that Wang Ping might be so strong. She knew her family background that ordinary people could not be more ordinary, and she would never get the question in advance. It seems that she was relying on her real skills.
Qin Feng sat down a little and was full of interest in Wang Ping's upcoming speech. She had already brought too many surprises to herself before, even if Wang Ping has become an alien now, she should be able to accept it.
But she is wearing Hanfu...
Qin Feng's mother expressed his thoughts on the side: "That little girl looks so beautiful in that ancient costume. She is so energetic. If she is really the daughter of Minister Wang's family, I'm afraid Qin Qing's first place would be mysterious." The implication is that if Wang Ping is just an ordinary person, no matter how outstanding she speaks, she still can't win the first place.
After all, Qin Qing’s previous outstanding achievements were there.
Unless the gap between English speeches is too big, it is difficult to tell the outcome. There are 1,000 readers and 1,000 Good Mletes. Some people like this, and some people like that. Even if they are biased, it is difficult to say that they must be won by relationships.
Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. This is the same reason.
But Wang Ping's opening remarks are also unique. It is hard to imagine that she temporarily added the pressure after seeing Qin Qing's speech.
A melodious music sounded, but it was traditional ancient music, like a zither but not a zither, like a zither but not a zither.
The green collar of my heart is full of joy. Even if I don’t go, I would rather not be able to succeed!
The green Zipeng is full of thoughts. Even if I don’t go, Zip would rather not come!
I am so proud that I am in the city. I don’t see it for a day, like three months!
The singing slowly came from the backstage. Wang Ping walked slowly to the stage in a dress of Hanfu in a hurry. Accompanied by the elegant ancient song, she raised her hands together to her forehead and performed an ancient ceremony to the audience and judges. Everyone saw Wang Ping's silk robe in the wind, her long sleeves crossed her side. Her skirt was like flying phoenix and her sleeves were like snow. She did a few Han dance moves in an extremely graceful and soothing posture in the singing.
Then she stood upright amid the applause of the crowd, just like a beautiful and soothing dance, her voice also slowly poured out like a gurgling spring: "I have a dream, one day..."
As her voice gradually changed from soothing to intense, the judges quickly realized that Wang Ping's speech was a speech that was about to be passed down through the ages when Martin Luther King held a grand rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial Hall in Washington. It was just that the content of the dream changed. It was no longer to promote racial equality, but her dream. Her interest was to carry forward Chinese classical culture. One day, she could bring Chinese traditional culture to all over the world, so that everyone could eliminate cultural barriers and let everyone understand the charm of Chinese classical culture: tea ceremony, Hanfu, acupuncture...
After Wang Ping's speech, applause suddenly spread everywhere and sounded like thunder. As one of the English program hosts who were used to show stood up as the judges teacher in this show, everyone began to stand up one by one to applaud Wang Ping.
In front of the TV, not only the murder time, but also many places. Although many people have not yet figured out what Wang Ping said, even Wang Ping's parents are the same, but they have left the shadow of the beautiful girl in the Hanfu just now. She is graceful and charming, classical and elegant, and looks like a lady coming down from the scroll.
The next few people on the stage no longer had such outstanding performance as Wang Ping. Soon after the ten people's speeches ended, it was the moment of the final award presentation. Now everyone knows that the first place score will definitely fall between Wang Ping and Qin Qing. Two people are one at the top and one at the west, like two of the most outstanding and dazzling flowers. They have to choose the most beautiful one. Not to mention the judges and the audience below are also starting to get nervous, and they all guess which one will win the final first place.
Wang Ping did not expect that she would walk to Qin Qing's opposite side inadvertently. Not to mention that she had some controversy with her inexplicably in the background, the two of them did not make an appointment in advance on the stage. However, the topics she chose in the speech happened to be in the opposite direction and were exactly opposite.
In front of the TV, Wang Jia and Rong Long's hearts were so heartbroken that they were sweating for Wang Ping. On the contrary, Wang Ping herself was not very concerned about the result. She was very satisfied with her performance today and seemed to have no regrets. As for ranking, it was not a problem. If you were second, you could also go to Beijing to participate in the competition, so the difference between first and second places was not very big.
Wang Ping glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the backstage. She thought silently that she didn't know how Fang Hua was doing now?
Fang Hua, who was far away in the classroom on the other end of the city, quickly finished the last physics competition test paper. When everyone was still racking their brains and writing hard, he stood up before he even had half filled it out.
The invigilator hurried over. Of course, he would not have thought that Fang Hua had finished it. You should know that the difficulty of this whole-body physics competition test paper is unique. Even undergraduates who are studying in the physics department in college need a large number of students, so they can't finish it so quickly that the professors of physics departments can do it. So he thought Fang Hua had something wrong.
"Sit down first, what's the matter!" The invigilator looked at Fang Hua with some displeasure.
Fang Hua ignored it and handed the test paper into the invigilator's hand and ran out. He just looked up and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. His wife's English competition should be about to get results?
When he thought of this, Fang Hua became anxious. Although he was very confident in Wang Ping, he thought that Wang Ping did not have a super brain like him. If he met a master, would he be sad and need to find comfort to him?
If he got the first place, he would be the first person to share his joy with her. So Fang Hua couldn't wait to hand in the paper early, ignoring the invigilator's shouting behind him, and dialing Wang Ping's cell phone as soon as he left the classroom...
The invigilator was so angry that he smoked: "Come back for me, what's your name!"
There was a classmate from Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School in the same examination room as Fang Hua. Like Ji Bai, he was a fan of the great master Fang Hua. When he saw Fang Hua, he left early without looking back. He looked at himself and had only completed one-third of the test paper. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The great master is the great master, damn, so handsome!
However, he kindly mentioned the invigilator: "Teacher, that person's name is written on the test paper he handed you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was silent, and he was suddenly laughing out loud in the class where he was writing quickly...
In the studio, ten remaining contestants stood in a row. In front of them was the host holding the final result. The host only heard the host say in an excited tone: "Next, I announce that the winner of this English competition is..."
"Don't walk away, we will reveal it after the advertisement comes back."
Countless scoldings suddenly sounded in front of the TVs of thousands of households: Damn, this TV station is so scammed!
But the audience who care about the results are still reluctant to change the station at this critical moment, and they are still staying in front of the TV.
Chapter completed!
