Chapter 092 Kill one to serve as a warning to others
She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Zhou Jian huddled in the corner of the classroom with some surprise, and said in English: "Classmate Zhou Jian, please stand up."
Zhou Jian stood up helplessly and fainted. If he had known he would enjoy such treatment, he would not have come to class.
"Classmate Zhou Jian, please tell me why you didn't come to class for one semester?" Teacher Bai always speaks in English. Teachers in Class A rarely speak Chinese in class.
"Uh..." Zhou Jian didn't have any reason to explain. He couldn't tell her that he had been playing games and then "took time" to go to Las Vegas and Brazil. That was just wishful thinking.
Teacher Bai thought Zhou Jian didn't understand, so she repeated it again. This time she deliberately slowed down her speaking speed, and her enunciation was clearer. Although American English sounds nice, because the enunciation is mellow, it's not clear once it's connected.
It’s not clear, and it’s hard for people who haven’t heard it to understand it.
Zhou Jian gritted his teeth and started making up nonsense again. Of course he also used English. This is the rule of the English class at Lingnan University. Once the bell rings, all conversations between students and teachers must be in English. You can speak stumblingly, you can say
You are full of mistakes and no one will laugh at you, but you have to say it.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I have been working these days. My family is in a difficult situation. My father is in poor health. Although I can apply for national student loans for tuition, I can only earn living expenses and accommodation expenses by working part-time, so I have missed some classes. I am very worried.
I'm sorry, but don't worry, teacher, I have self-study courses outside of my part-time job."
Zhou Jian spoke in a very sincere tone, and his lying eyes were very calm.
His only advantage in high school was that he studied well. As a student in a liberal arts class, English was his strong point. Although his spoken English was relatively weak, it was just because he lacked opportunities to communicate with foreigners. He has been practicing abroad these days, and now he has
Very proficient, but not as authentic as Teacher Bai said.
Teacher Bai was slightly surprised. Although Lingnan University is a key university, most students can only take exams and listen in English, but their real speaking skills are not very good. They usually propose a topic in class (a teaching method commonly used in college English, centered around
Express your opinion on a question) and let everyone discuss it. A few fixed people always get up to speak, and they have to prepare and draft a good draft first. If you just open your mouth, you may get stuck.
For example, what Zhou Jian said just now can only be said by ordinary students who are fairly good at English. They will never be so proficient in it. Moreover, the state educational loan (state student loan) is very
It’s an uncommon phrase. Most students don’t know how to express it in such an idiomatic way. They can only adopt the roundabout strategy commonly used by Chinese people when speaking English, and use long-winded phrases like borrow money from the bank to support my education (borrow money from the bank to support my education) to avoid the most important.
Instead, it is not easy to organize such long-winded expressions in a short time while speaking and express them skillfully without pause.
I really didn’t expect this student who skips class every day to speak so well.
The girls in class A6 also looked at Zhou Jian in surprise. The girl who spoke before murmured: "You can't tell a person by his appearance. This guy who seems to have no energy at all actually speaks English so well."
Liang Yanmin, who had a sense of collective honor, was a little reluctant to listen. After all, she was her classmate, and as the academic committee of the 59 Chinese class, she had the responsibility and obligation to maintain the image of the class classmates, "Hey, there is someone with a name, Zhou.
He is healthy, and although there are few boys in our Chinese department, all of them are good-looking."
"Has connotation? Uh..." The other girl was a little confused. She didn't think it was a compliment at all.
"Yanmin, you misunderstood, it was just a joke." The girl who spoke stuck out her tongue. Liang Yanmin's expression looked better now.
Teacher Bai seemed to be interested and wanted to test Zhou Jian's English proficiency. She continued to say in English: "What score did you get in the placement test when you entered school?" Because university teachers do not look at teaching scores when evaluating professional titles, so she
I didn't pay attention to the students' individual scores.
"Hmm... It seems to be 68."
Teacher Bai was slightly surprised. 68 is indeed a high score. The test paper used for that exam was the Professional Level 4 exam paper. The Level 4 exam is slightly more difficult than the Level 6 exam and requires a vocabulary of 5500-8000. This
This is a very exaggerated number for high school students. In addition, the test method for the fourth-year junior college is very different from the college entrance examination English, so students generally do poorly in the test. At that time, it was stipulated that those with a score of 50 points could enter Class A, but even
In this way, students in Class A only account for a small proportion.
"So you just said that there is a course for self-study of college English. Let me test you. What is the content of the article in the first lesson of the textbook?"
Zhou Jian was dumbfounded on the spot. He lied in order to win Teacher Bai's sympathy and not blame himself for failing the exam. He didn't expect that Teacher Bai was so perverted that he would use this kind of question to test himself. He had never read the book at all, how could he say that
out.
Teacher Bai smiled meaningfully, "Why, Zhou Jian forgot? Then what is the content of the second lesson? Do you remember it?"
Zhou Jian secretly cursed the treacherous man named Bai, and said in English: "Teacher, although I am learning English by myself, I do not use college English textbooks. Instead, I memorize words and read English magazines."
"Oh? What magazines have you subscribed to?"
Zhou Jian really wanted to slap himself. Isn't this awkward? He had to say: "I usually read it in a magazine store, where you can read books for free, but subscribing to magazines is more expensive." He had already made up his mind, if this woman let her
If he memorizes a sentence, he will completely surrender.
Fortunately, Teacher Bai is not so perverted. Although she feels that Zhou Jian is deceiving her, she will not be too annoyed by such a talented student in English.
But if he should fail, he should still fail. If students who have not attended classes for a semester are allowed to pass, they will not all be skipping classes in the next semester, and they must be killed as a warning to others.
She said: "Well, I don't have any objections to you, but I am very fair. According to the school's standards, the final exam is 60 points, and the usual score is 40 points. We have a total of 20 periods in a semester.
In a big class, each attendance will be worth 2 points. You only attended once, so I will calculate your usual score as 2 points. According to this calculation, as long as you take the paper test...well..." Teacher Bai used a calculator on the computer used for teaching.
After doing some math, he said, "A 96.5 is enough to pass."
As soon as Teacher Bai finished speaking, the sound of air-conditioning could be heard in the class. This Teacher Bai is really dark. The test paper for Class A of Lingnan University is very difficult. Most students can get a score of 70, which is pretty good. Want to get a score of 96.5?
