Reborn as a scholar to become self-improvement

Chapter 187

When Mo Chenyi first left, everyone in the class was still discussing him.Boys from other classes also often come to the door of the class with basketballs to play basketball with Mo Chenyi after school.

At that time, Su Yuan always felt that Brother Mo was still there, and there were questions that he didn’t know. He would often hold the notebook and subconsciously walk towards Brother Mo’s original position, but only realized when he walked over that Brother Mo had already left. There will be no one sitting in the seat in the future.

In desperation, she had no choice but to sigh and discuss the topic with Wei Zijing and Guo Lili.In the class, although Wei Zijing often hurt her, she was very loyal, especially charismatic, and got along well with Su Yuan.

Su Yuan, who used to go in and out of the campus as a pair with Brother Mo, became alone.In order not to make herself look so lonely, Su Yuan devotes herself to study and work.At school, she began participating in various competitions, striving for honor for her class and herself.

Not only that, she also gives herself high-intensity exercise, running [-] meters twice a week, playing a game of basketball; going to the Taekwondo gym twice a week to learn the skills of self-defense and fitness, so as to enrich herself.

Because of the time difference between the United States and China, Su Yuan could only talk to Brother Mo on weekends. Each call lasted about an hour, and the two of them shared a lot of phone bills.

In mid-May, Su Yuan participated in an English speech contest.The class teacher signed up for class representatives Guo Lili, Su Yuan, and Shi Qiqi.The homeroom teacher's idea is very simple. If three people participate in the competition, the chances of winning will be higher.

Guo Lili didn't take Su Yuan seriously. The big reason was that Su Yuan seldom showed oral English in the class. She and Shi Qiqi agreed that Su Yuan's poor oral English skills would inevitably lead to failure in the speech competition.

Like Guo Lili, Shi Qiqi spent time in the United States when she was a child, and speaks fluent and idiomatic English.The two are proud of their talents, and they don't think much of Su Yuan.

This English speech contest is different from those small speeches in the school. It is a large-scale competition in the city every six years. The judges are all exchange teachers from the United States. Because it is related to the educational relations between the two countries, the mayor is also very concerned about this competition.The English speech contest was held in the largest theater in the city, and there were 26 participating schools.

On the day of the competition, the class teacher asked the three participating schools in the class to wear school uniforms, wear regiment badges, wear ponytails, and no bangs were allowed.Shi Qiqi complained for a long time because of the rule of not being able to keep bangs, but in order to participate in the competition, she can bear it no matter how ugly she is. If she wins the championship this time, she will be eligible to be recommended by Beijing S University.

There were teachers and students from various schools sitting in the theater. Accompanied by their class teacher, Su Yuan and the three of them sat in the first row and waited for the stage.

Shi Qiqi and Guo Lili looked at the people participating in the speech contest on the stage and made a lot of complaints.Guo Lili said to Shi Qiqi in a low voice: "These people are not good enough, and their pronunciation is not standard at all."

"If the pronunciation is not standard, don't say it. It's embarrassing to mispronounce words." Shi Qiqi folded her arms and shook her head.She turned her head and glanced at Su Yuan, and found that Su Yuan was reading the speech intently with her head down.She thought that Su Yuan was familiarizing herself with the words, so she sneered and said, "Su Yuan, why don't you hold your feet for a while? Don't be nervous when you are on stage. If you really can't do it, you should mark the Hanzi pinyin on the speech, so that you don't get nervous and don't know what the words are. Read it."

Su Yuan kept smiling at the corner of his mouth, glanced at him, and blurted out authentic English.

——Don't be a small and hardworking person, their explosive power has always been very powerful.

Shi Qiqi was overwhelmed by her fluent English, and then laughed at her: "Okay, you have learned this famous saying well."

Su Yuan just kept smiling, stopped talking to her, bowed her head and continued to familiarize herself with her speech.Before participating, she read the rules carefully, and she could get extra points for unscripted speeches.She thought that there would be a lot of people giving speeches without scripts, but she didn't expect that the speeches were almost over, and she didn't see anyone giving speeches without scripts.

She was lucky, she was the last one drawn by lottery, and she was the last one to give a speech, so she had enough time to prepare.Su Yuan originally thought that Shi Qiqi and Guo Lili's authentic English, which was shaped by the environment, could give a speech without a script. What she didn't expect was that the two of them, like the previous classmates, came to the stage with a script and started a speech without emotion.

After Shi Qiqi stepped down, she proudly said to Guo Lili: "Even if we don't finish the draft, we can kill others in seconds. Who do you think can take the first place between the two of us?"

"Look at the judges, anyway, I'm satisfied if I can get the top two." Guo Lili said.

Shi Qiqi glanced at Su Yuan, and was about to reprimand her when she saw that she had already stepped onto the stage with clenched fists.Shi Qiqi saw that she hadn't picked up the manuscript, so she held back and didn't tell Su Yuan; she hoped that Su Yuan wouldn't be able to utter a single word on stage, and she would be ashamed!
