Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 95 Oral Interview (Part ) [More and more, please read!]

If Li Xu had not had the experience of following his dad to Jinchuan University and bragging to those two foreign girls, he might have been a little nervous facing this oral exam.

But at this time, Li Xu was already very confident in his spoken English.

After all, even authentic foreigners can communicate with me, so there is no problem with my listening and expression skills.

It would be easy to fool a few English teachers.

Of course, although he was very calm, others might not be.

I have to mention here that the method of learning English that An Duoduo taught him is really effective.

If someone asked him how to improve his English speaking and listening skills, Li Xu would definitely recommend this learning method to him.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find any resources. Just read the listening materials from junior high school to high school graduation a hundred times following the tapes.

This includes hearing problems.

Follow along for the first twenty times, then gradually speed up and eventually read blindly.

Just set a goal of doing it a hundred times!

The final effect is that it reads like a jingle, just like reciting ancient poems in elementary school.

You don't have to worry about the so-called speech flow, swallowing of sounds, connected speech, and other messy terms. It's okay to just read one word at a time.

As the speed increases, various accents emerge naturally.

If you spend two hours a day on it, it can be completed in about half a year!
By that time, you will definitely be able to unlock the following skills: communicate with Americans without obstacles and watch English-sounding movies without subtitles.

Back to the topic, this interview was extremely short.

After entering, the teacher will ask random questions based on the content of the class, but the content of the questions is not limited to the textbook, it may also be outside the textbook.

It is said that the questions will be very strange.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you can communicate normally in English, there will be no problem.

Although it is a good high school, the quality of students in No. 9 Middle School is more polarized than that in No. 6 Middle School.

Only about half of the students in this school truly possess this ability.

The academic performance of students in classes four and five may not necessarily be better than that of students in classes two and three, precisely because of the limitation of spoken English.

The main reason is the different training directions.

At this time, there were many students waiting outside, including those from Class 3 and Class 2, and many of them had nervous expressions on their faces.

In the crowd, Xiong Haiyang saw Li Xu's calm expression and found it funny.

Yes, although he got the highest score in the written test in the class, his oral English is definitely not something that can be improved overnight in just one semester.

So it is understandable why Li Xu was calm at this time.

Maybe I had given up in my heart a long time ago.

Actually, it's quite pitiful...

Xiong Haiyang thought with interest.

However, he secretly teased Li Xu in his heart, and then started to worry about his own affairs.

Even if Li Xu fails the oral exam, it won’t be my turn according to the order!

Xiong Haiyang looked left and right, secretly observing which people had more nervous expressions.

I prayed silently in my heart.

It seemed as if God had answered his prayers.

A girl who went in shortly afterwards came out not long after with a depressed expression.

Xiong Haiyang felt slightly delighted.

The length of time spent in the classroom can reveal the student’s oral English level.

The better the students' oral English is, the more detailed their answers will be. The teacher will also ask a few more questions, so the students will naturally stay in the class longer.

This girl had been in there for less than three minutes and still had a frustrated expression on her face, so she must have performed poorly.

And she happened to be ranked third in the class.

If I remember correctly, her English score was even over 130 points.

Xiong Haiyang sighed slightly in his heart...

What is the point of such dumb English education?

This kind of education is like a blunt knife cutting meat, which gradually erodes children's enthusiasm and talent for English.

Language should be a bridge to communicate with the world, but under this Chinese-style dumb English education, it has become a tool for examinations and a heavy yoke on students' shoulders.

Xiong Haiyang criticized it in his heart in Lu Xun-style language. For a moment, he felt comforted, and then he felt fortunate...

Fortunately, it was a silent education.

Next up is Li Xu. It's a sure thing!

When Li Xu was about to go in, Xiong Haiyang called out to him considerately, "Come on, don't be nervous!"

When Li Xu heard Xiong Haiyang's voice, he smiled silently, nodded and went in.

A faint smile appeared on Li Xu's face...

This oral interview was just a formality for him.

However, as soon as he walked into the classroom and saw the examiner, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of surprise.

At the same time, the teacher looked at him and was also stunned.

At this time, the head teacher of Class 5 said, "Don't be nervous, students. Let me introduce you. This teacher, Sophie, is from Amei and has just joined our school. She speaks authentic American English. She will be the English teacher for Class 5 and will also be the chief examiner for this interview."

There are several foreign teachers in No. 9 Middle School.

Most of these foreign teachers are foreign students studying in China.

However, No. 9 Middle School is not the kind of high school that accepts all kinds of foreign garbage.

To be a foreign teacher here, you have to pass a very strict quality screening test.

Li Xu's mind was racing at this moment, thinking about how to solve the current dilemma.

Embarrassing, so embarrassing.

The woman in front of him was none other than the foreign girl who had listened to his nonsense and boasting at Jinchuan University that day.

After a moment, Li Xu sighed slightly. He was really... so calm before, how come he won the prize after being so uncalm just once?
But that’s it…

Li Xu raised his head and smiled calmly: "Hello, Miss Sophie!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Sophie finally understood what was going on. She couldn't help laughing, and then she said in an approving tone, "My friend, you are really amazing."

The head teacher asked with some confusion: "Do you know each other?"

Sophie smiled and said in her not-so-standard Chinese, "Yes, teacher, I guarantee you, this student doesn't need an English test; he's definitely qualified!"

The other teachers wanted to finish the interview as quickly as possible, so they did it as soon as possible. With Sophie's guarantee, Li Xu passed the interview smoothly.

Before Li Xu left, Sophie called him again.

In English: "Oh, Li, you still owe me an explanation."

Li Xu blinked and replied in English: "Okay, Miss Sophie, you will get a reasonable explanation at an appropriate time."

Sophie pulled out her phone and shook it at him.

Li Xu could only smile and go out.

As a result, Li Xu became the person who entered and exited the interview the fastest.

Seeing Li Xu come out so quickly, Xiong Haiyang's heart was relieved at once.

He walked quickly to Li Xu, patted Li Xu on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone, "You can still learn well in Class 2 or 3. You know, high school mainly depends on self-study."

Li Xu nodded: "That's right."

Xiong Haiyang continued, "We are friends too."

Li Xu also patted Xiong Haiyang on the shoulder and said, "So, since your spoken English is so good, there will still be a chance next time."

Xiong Haiyang was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of these words for a moment.

Li Xu was too lazy to explain.

Anyway, when the classes are divided next semester, those who have passed the oral exam will be given priority in choosing classes based on their grades.

By then, Xiong Haiyang will understand everything.

As soon as Li Xu finished speaking, Chen Feiyang and Tang Qiaoning blocked him at the stairs.

"Boss, we agreed to go karting on the first day of the holiday!" Chen Feiyang glared at Li Xu and questioned him.

Tang Qiaoning next to him also nodded repeatedly and joined in the conversation.

Li Xu shook his head: "No, if you are free tomorrow, I can make an appointment with you."

"Do you have anything to do today?"

Li Xu raised his head helplessly.

There is indeed something going on...

But he didn't tell Chen Feiyang and the others.

……

In the afternoon, Li Xu arrived at the entrance of the swimming pool carrying a sports bag.

An Duoduo was jumping high not far away and waving at him.
