Chapter 904 Communication

"Your uncle is amazing. Tongtong, you need to learn more from him, you know?" The woman has exquisite makeup and a graceful figure. She is wearing a "Hepburn skirt" that is very rare in the mainland today. The upper body is a vest-style "Hepburn skirt", and the feet are

Wearing white high-heeled sandals, she was taller than Zhou Zhi, and was incompatible with the environment of the entire factory dormitory. Zhou Zhi even felt that her arrival had brightened up the old and small neighborhood a lot.

"Cousin Jianhua." Zhou Zhi greeted the woman: "You should prepare a pair of flat shoes in the car. Wearing high heels while driving is not safe."

"You brat, you criticized me when we first met. Are you holding grudges?" The woman laughed and said, "You pulled my ears and cried when I was a kid!"

"You're so sorry!" the third aunt laughed and scolded: "You were so big back then, and you still bullied your younger brother."

"Mom, you are partial!" The third aunt refused: "You gave me all my biscuits! You ate them all and didn't even leave any for me! Those were all saved by the eldest and second brothers for me!"

"Your uncle and his brother came all the way to see you, why don't they treat you as a piece of biscuit?" the third aunt continued to lecture.

"Look at it... I'm still partial to it now! Isn't it my elbow?"

"Tongtong, do you have any biscuits for uncle?" Zhou Zhi ignored his cousin and instead teased Tongtong.

"I have jelly." Tongtong began to look through his schoolbag: "I didn't bring the biscuits, I will bring them to my uncle tomorrow!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi was extremely happy: "Sister, Tongtong voted with his jelly."

Cousin Jianhua also laughed, reached out and played with Tongtong's head: "You know how to make me angry. Take out your homework and let uncle check it!"

Everyone sat under the plastic shed outside and started chatting. Zhou Zhi really checked Tongtong's homework: "Why did you start learning "New Concept English"?"

Although he is only nine years old, Tongtong obviously started studying when he was six or seven years old. This is the educational level of children in later generations. Now it is obvious that he is ahead of his time, more than ten years ahead of his time.

In which year did English courses enter primary school?

"We just suffer from the lack of education!" Cousin Jianhua said: "The current conditions are so good, of course we must let Tongtong study hard."

Thinking about the heavy academic burden on children in future generations, although Tongtong is already very miserable, he can only be considered as tapping his potential and is still far from being a chicken baby.

So I stopped saving him: "There are many universities in Yuzhou. They should have foreign teachers, right? It is best to have a language environment to learn a language. Learning in an environment will get twice the result with half the effort. It is much faster than just following the textbooks."

"Really?" Cousin Jianhua opened her eyes wide: "Are you going to let Tongtong and foreign teachers teach?"

"It's not learning, it's just playing." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Playing games, making cakes, cutting some fruits, etc., you can master it before you know it, and the effect is very good, you can't even forget it.

You can ask your brother-in-law to find out, there must be something like this."

"It would be great if that's true." Cousin Jianhua said, "Tongtong's English always gives people a headache."

"Actually, there is another way."

"What can I do?"

"You study with Tongtong."

"ah?"

"Sister, if you are not busy, I think you can give it a try. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to master one more skill, right?"

"Uh... let me give it a try." Cousin Jianhua said, "Just now you said that learning a foreign language requires an environment. How did you learn it? Is there an English environment in Jiachuan?"

"Sister, don't look down on our English environment in Jiachuan." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "The "Middle School English Extracurricular Literature Development" series of tapes recorded by Mr. He in our school have been listed as elective listening and reading courses in key middle schools in the province.

It's information we found from outside Sichuan."

"In addition to this, I also read original English books and watch original audio tapes. Once I accumulate enough knowledge, I will naturally become good at it."

"Of course, this doesn't work. Later, I have to find foreign friends to correct my pronunciation, which requires frequent dialogue with them." Zhou Zhi said: "If Tongtong has this condition, he can get it right in one step without taking the detour I have taken.

.”

"Elbow is really an adult." Cousin Jianhua smiled charmingly, leaning his chin on the back of his hand to look at Zhou Zhi: "You really are the number one scholar, and he is very reasonable when it comes to learning methods. What you mean is that you can now have a casual conversation with foreigners.

Already?"

"This...English should be no problem."

"Wait a minute..." Cousin Jianhua stood up, walked quickly to her car, and took out a stack of information from the trunk: "Brother, come into the house with me. I have something to trouble you."

Zhou Zhi followed cousin Jianhua into the house. Cousin Jianhua asked Zhou Zhi to sit on the sofa: "This is an order from your brother-in-law's factory. The other party is an old customer. This year, a revised version was sent, but there are too many professional terms in it. Yu

I can't find anyone who knows how to translate in the city, so please give me a look."

"Oh." Zhou Zhi took the information and looked at it, and found that there were indeed a lot of professional words on it, but from the grammatical structure and pronunciation, it was not English: "These professional words seem to be in Italian, and the English translation can't be understood even if they are not in English."

Something wrong."

Wait until you turn to the back: "There is a phone number here. Is it the contact number of the other party? No, this is a Hong Kong number..."

"This is the phone number of Caston's branch on Hong Kong Island. We usually contact there."

"Can the phone number here be used to make overseas calls? Why don't you call me and ask?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"You can make a call. This is the phone your brother-in-law installed for your third aunt. It has an overseas connection. If you have money, you can make it!"

Zhou Zhi picked up the phone and dialed the number directly. He was quickly connected to the other party, but he spoke in Cantonese.

So Zhou Zhi also used Cantonese: "Hello, we are..." At this point, he remembered that he didn't even know the name of his brother-in-law's factory. He quickly covered the phone and asked cousin Jianhua: "What is the name of my brother-in-law's company?"

"Aihua Clothing."

Caught off guard, Zhou Zhi didn't expect that a wave of dog food would be poured into this joint, and he suddenly choked: "Cough cough cough..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Zhou Zhi could only wave his hand and said in Cantonese to the phone: "Hello, we are Yuzhou Aihua Clothing. Regarding the previous business contract, we still have some details that we want to discuss with... uh... Mr. Lawrence

For a moment, would you like to transfer it to us?"

The other person said: "Okay, please wait a moment." There was no sound. After a while, an old male voice came: "Hello, Lawrence Caston."

Zhou Zhi switched to English: "Hello Mr. Lawrence, we are Yuzhou Aihua Clothing. Regarding the order intention you sent this time, we regret that there are several things that we cannot understand. We hope to ask you for advice in person."

"Wait a moment while I transfer your order... Okay, may I ask where you have questions?" The other party's English had a European accent. As Zhou Zhi guessed, the person opposite was not the same.

British and American.

"You mentioned a type of shoe called mocassi in the column of brand matching suggestions. This term is unfamiliar to us. Could you please give us a rough description or give us the corresponding English word?"
