Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and the English speech competition was getting closer and closer. Xu Suizhu was also very busy. After finishing the afternoon class, he went home first, breast-feeding, and cooked. After half past four, he walked down the street with a bagful of food.
The braised beef I bought went to my brother-in-law's house, I put the buns in place, and then hurried back to school.
Recruit students from the speech contest to rehearse.
After listening to them reciting it, Xu Suizhu pointed out the shortcomings of the three people one by one:
"Wen Jun has two pronunciations that are not standard. Pay attention to them and practice more when you go home... Lin Lei's paragraph is very important as it connects the previous and the following. Pay attention to the emotional changes and don't blindly release them. You need to close them when appropriate... Xiaoxue's recitation is basically
I passed the test, but my voice was a little weak, and it was not conspicuous enough when sandwiched between two energetic boys, but this is not a big problem. Microphones should be provided at the competition site, so I can practice hard and strive to be as powerful as my male compatriots...
"
"Teacher Xu, let's try it again?"
"OK."
After this time, I have obviously improved a lot compared to the previous time. It is no problem to directly pull me onto the stage to compete.
Xu Suizhu said happily: "That's it for today. You remember the content quite well. If you strengthen your emotional control, it should be no problem to enter the finals. In terms of clothing, do you have any good suggestions?"
The school uniforms in the town are too ordinary. They are just sportswear with white stripes on the bottom. They wore it from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. Not to mention it turned white after washing and looked very old. The key is that the sports uniforms are not very suitable for the theme they want to give a speech.
.
But it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Although she has countless inspirations in her mind, she has no choice but not so much fabric for her to toss with. How can she conjure up three sets of performance costumes?
After a long while, Tian Xiaoxue raised her hand weakly: "My eldest sister has a red suspender skirt, I wonder if it is okay?"
Red suspender skirt?
Xu Suizhu thought for a moment, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, you can bring it to me tomorrow. The best match for a red suspender skirt is a white shirt."
Tian Xiaoxue said happily: "I have a white shirt myself."
"Well, your outfit is tentatively a white shirt, a red suspender skirt, a pair of white socks, and black leather shoes. Socks are easy to deal with, and leather shoes... I'll figure it out."
She remembered that there was a leather shoe shop opposite the county library, but it was not available, so she spent her own money to buy a pair of small black round-toe leather shoes and lent them to students first.
The shoe sizes are about the same - Xu Suizhu visually inspected Tian Xiaoxue's feet and came to the conclusion.
Boys' clothing is easy to deal with. Chen Wenjun and Lin Lei both have brothers who are two or three years older than them. As young people entering the society, white shirts are their standard equipment. As for men's black leather shoes, Lin Lei's brother has a pair, which is needed for competitions.
, I want to wear it so that my family won’t disagree. The size is said to be one size larger, but I can still wear it if I make do. Then I still need a pair.
When she went to pick up Xiaobaozi that night, Xu Suizhu asked her cousin if she could borrow men's leather shoes. Unexpectedly, her cousin had a pair of them - he bought them when he got married and had only worn them a few times. They were well maintained, so he borrowed them.
.Promise to keep it well and polish it with shoe polish before returning it. He will never let it get dirty or damaged.
The lady finally borrowed the leather shoes from Teacher Zhong. She was told to say, "If you need any help, just ask, I will definitely help." Xu Suizhu asked her politely if she had any black leather shoes. The answer was yes, and they happened to be round.
head.
The competition attire is finally done.
The boy wears a white shirt on the upper body, navy blue straight pants on the lower body, and black leather shoes.
The English speech trial was on this Sunday afternoon. Xu Suizhu asked the fishery workers who came to the town to deliver fishery goods to send a message to their aunt, saying that they would not go back this week and would accompany the students for the final rehearsal on Saturday afternoon.
Her aunt was worried, so she took the fishery's delivery truck to the town early Saturday morning to take a look and made sure her niece was not lying - she was indeed busy at school; her grandnephew was also well-raised, white and tender, and looked very beautiful
I got a lot stronger last week, which makes me feel at ease. But I took the little buns with me when I left.
"The fishery is not busy these two days. Since you have something serious to do, I will help you take care of it for two days. After the competition, I will send Doudou over. It doesn't matter if you miss two days of milk."
Xu Suizhu thought about it. Although the selection competition was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, he would have to leave in the morning, sign in and rehearse at the scene. In this way, he would not be able to take care of the little buns for the whole day.
So he nodded and said: "Okay, then Doudou has been troublesome for the past two days. I will pick him up when he comes back from the game."
Because this speech contest was organized and initiated by the Provincial Education Bureau, the county and city education bureaus paid much attention to it. The team sent to the provincial capital to participate in the finals will have a bearing on the reputation of Yupu County.
No, for the county-level selection competition, not only the principals of each participating school, but also the directors and deputy directors of the Education Bureau came and occupied the first row of guest seats. Regardless of whether they understood or not, being able to come shows that they are interested in
The importance of this game.
In addition, there were special reporters sent by the provincial and municipal education bureaus, who pointed their cameras at the stage.
Seeing this, Xu Suizhu nodded secretly - the more thoughtful people present, the better. It is said that County No. 1 Middle School and County No. 3 Middle School have a good relationship with the judges, but in such a grand occasion, there are still cameras recording truthfully, so I forgive them.
Don't dare to grade randomly.
"Teacher Xu, which number do we get to play?" Tian Xiaoxue asked nervously.
Chen Wenjun and Lin Lei also stared at her without blinking.
Xu Suizhu glanced at the paper ball he caught in the lottery and told them: "The 13th one."
A total of 15 schools participated in the lottery.
"Although the numbers are not very auspicious, they are not bad. Let's just think of it as the finale. Just perform normally as you did in the previous rehearsals. Don't be nervous. You will have no problem making it to the finals." Xu Suizhu comforted them.
The three students were very confident. But it was impossible not to be nervous. They all sat in their seats with serious expressions, memorizing the contents of the speech over and over in their minds, hoping to perform exceptionally well when they took the stage.
The hearts of the three of them were as bright as a mirror. They knew that this was a war without gunpowder. Whether the students in the town could succeed in English would make the teachers and students in the county look with admiration at the performance of the three of them today.
Xu Suizhu held her cheek and listened carefully to Lu's speeches that came on stage one after another. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles.
But after listening to it for a few times, I knew for sure that my students would definitely be in trouble.
The first student to take the stage was so nervous that he not only stumbled, but also said several wrong words, and his score was currently the lowest.
The second and third people who took the stage spoke fluently, but unfortunately the content was mediocre. The scores given by the judges were not low, but not high either.
The next few people who took the stage were almost the same.
In contrast, the students from County No. 1 Middle School really made the best impression. After the speech, the five judges gave an average score of 9.4, and the highest score from other schools was 9.1.
No wonder the two familiar female teachers leading the team in County No. 1 Middle School were laughing so hard that the corners of their mouths reached to their ears.
In fact, the remaining schools have never been able to compete with County No. 1 Middle School in English.
Probably because they felt that victory was in sight and the championship was firmly in their hands, the two female teachers were quite proud to enjoy the envious looks from other school teachers, complimented them, and loudly discussed the clothes they should wear to the provincial capital finals.
…
Xu Suizhu rolled his eyes: This girl is too arrogant! Do you really think this trial is an exhibition match for their county's No. 1 Middle School?
