"But it doesn't affect our appreciation of the movie." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Just pay attention to identify the excessive things in it. The rest is like overseas literary masterpieces. To be recognized by everyone, it must always praise the truth, goodness and beauty and criticize the false, evil and ugly.

That’s all.”

"Have you noticed?" Xu Gang said, "Jiuzi's English seems to be pretty good."

"I just discovered that Elbow's English is pretty good. Top Gun is the colloquial language of ace fighter pilots. This teacher has never taught it and we don't know it." Wu Lingshuang also nodded.

"Yes, the movie just now is in English. Fortunately, it has subtitles." Li Yijia said: "After watching this kind of original movie, I realized how bad my English is. Everything I learned in middle school was all lies."

"Oh, I hate the thought of taking exams."

"Fortunately, I can take the exam every year." Qi Xinyan felt sad: "At least there are four chances."

"Where are the four chances?" Zhou Zhi shook his head: "One or two at most, and the remaining two should be reserved for CET-6. Also, the earlier the exam, the better, because the grammar has not been forgotten, and you only need to improve your vocabulary.

.I suggest you pass Level 4 the first time. It’s better to go to Level 6 for the rest.”

"Suggest us?" Zhang Qianyi grasped the topic: "As if you don't have to take the exam?"

"I really don't need it because I have passed pets 5."

"What...what the hell?"

"PETs is the National English Proficiency Test. The highest level is Level 5. This is a proficiency test set by the state for people sent by the government to study abroad. Level 3 is equivalent to Level 4 in college, and I have already passed Level 5."

"Hey! You just entered college?!" Zhang Qianyi said.

"Anyone can apply for this exam." Zhou Zhi said, "Actually, there are many similar English exams, such as IELTS, TOEFL, and GRE."

It will be after 2007 that the country will require fresh graduates to take the College English Test and will no longer be allowed to take PETS.

However, PETS is still an exam that anyone, including fresh graduates, can apply for, and the results can also be used to replace the results of the College English Test.

Although Fu Xia felt that Zhou Zhi's English test was completely redundant, but since the hard threshold for graduation was set, Mr. Gu still asked Zhou Zhi to get a certificate so that his energy would not be too involved in college.

In fact, Mr. Gu's idea is a bit redundant. As long as English vocabulary accumulates to a certain level, it will become a "quasi-native language", the kind that you can't forget even if you don't use it for decades, and those proficiency test questions

The difficulty is relatively low now, so for Zhou Zhi, what Fu Xia said is actually right. There is no difficulty and you can take the test at any time.

And for young writers whose books have been translated into English by Cambridge Press, even if Zhou Zhi wants to study in Cambridge, he doesn't even need to pass IELTS, TOEFL, or GRE scores. He can just do a little work and ask the liberal arts school there to send an invitation letter.

Just ask him.

But in order to make the old man happy without any trouble, and to live up to the old man's arrangement, Zhou Zhi still took the exam in his senior year of high school.

"Now I even doubt that Yanjing is Jiachuan and Jiachuan is Yanjing..." Zhang Qianyi was confused when he heard this: "Learning requires resources. I just want to ask if Jiachuan has such good English.

Learning environment and resources?”

"It's not bad," Zhou Zhi also had a good reason: "If you look at movies like "Top Gun", none of you have seen it, but I have already seen it."

"Yes, you must have watched a lot of Elbow, right?" Qi Xinyan remembered: "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to name so many of Tom Cruise's movies just now."

"Actually, watching movies is a shortcut to learning English." Zhou Zhi said, "My ability to pass the exam was all thanks to a TV series. If you like it, I can give it to you. It is definitely a magic tool for practicing listening and speaking."

"What kind of show is it?"

"You have all seen "Growing Pains"."

"Hey, you must, definitely, have seen them all!"

"Growing Pains" tells the story of a family living in Long Island, a suburb of New York, USA. His father, Jason Seaver, is a psychiatrist, and his mother, Maggie Seaver, is a journalist. They have three children: Mike

, Carol and Ben. At the beginning of the story, Maggie started working at the reporting agency, while Jason opened his psychological clinic at home, and interesting stories happened one after another.

This drama can be called the originator of soap operas known to Chinese people. Later, many indoor sitcoms in China, such as "Family with Children", were actually inspired by it.

The play was introduced by Shanghai TV, translated by the Shanghai TV Translation Department, and dubbed by the Film and Television Department of the Shanghai People's Art Theater. It has been broadcast since 1990 and has not yet been broadcast. It triggered a ratings climax. Several children in the film are cheerful and naughty.

The image is loved by the audience. In the play, Dr. Seaver adopts an egalitarian and heuristic education method for his children, which has also inspired countless Chinese parents.

Of course, those who like the show the most are the students of Zhou Zhi's age group. All of them think about it - if my mother were like this, how free I would be at home!

“Can I learn English from this drama?”

"Well, I have the original soundtrack of this drama." Zhou Zhi said: "My cousin brought it to me from Hong Kong Island, the original soundtrack with traditional Chinese subtitles."

"Wow! We need to see it sometime!"

"Wait a while, wait until I make arrangements." Zhou Zhi recalled the simple appearance of the video hall and had some new ideas: "But shouldn't we start self-study? Classes will officially start the day after tomorrow."

"Tch! Don't worry about this!"

Although he said this, Zhou Zhi disappeared early the next morning after breakfast.

Because today I am starting my "part-time job trip" and I am officially on stage for the first time, I am still a little nervous.

Although Sister Fang only asked her to sing three songs, Zhou Zhi still prepared six of her best songs. The three Cantonese songs include Chen Baiqiang's "The Misty Rain", Jacky Cheung's "Breaking Up on a Rainy Day", and a very old song.

, Lin Zixiang sang "Who Can Understand Me" in 1984, which made Zhou Zhibiao hit the high notes.

Each of the three songs has its own characteristics and difficulty. Most people can't sing it well, so Zhou Zhi thinks it's suitable to use to support himself.

The English songs were selected from Bertie Higgins’ movie title track “Casablanca”, Whamrock’s “careless whisper”, and Joan Jett’s “i hate myself for loving you”.

They also have different levels of difficulty, the first two are lyrical, and the last one is explosive.

The best song to sing is "careless whisper", and the most difficult song is the heavy metal rock song "i hate myself for loving you" with a female voice. When ld transcribes the track, it has to be lowered to make it suitable for male singing.

One method works for all, and with the digital audio track, Zhou Zhi can take advantage of the situation and transform some familiar female songs into suitable ones for male singing by changing the tune of the soundtrack.

Just like after getting used to listening to Priscilla Chan's "Thousands of Ques", suddenly hearing the version sung by Leslie Cheung will give the audience a "sense of strangeness in the familiarity" and a brand new experience.

For Zhou Zhi, who often engages in creation, he knows that this is a creative method that everyone who creates art understands, and it is a fixed routine that can attract people.
