Chapter 57 Weird Exam Questions
The title of the email is a bit strange and called "Like You". It's really interesting to click in.
The letter stated that the other party was also a Chinese who grew up in a foreign country like her. By chance, I learned that she was in the faraway United States, so I tried to contact her.
"Maybe it's nothing to contact me?" Catherine thought about it and replied to an email, then went to check the messages from other media outlets.
On Twitter and Facebook, Katherine's classmates were greeted by her classmates and asked when she would be able to return to school.
The Clawsons and his wife asked Catherine for leave from the college before, just claiming that she was unwell and needed some time to rest.
The reason why the real reason was not explained was that the Clawsons were worried that the truth would make the people around them alienate their children. After all, even they themselves would feel that people who have changed their hearts would be a little different.
Katherine previously studied at the School of Arts and Architecture at Montana State University, majoring in media and theater arts. By chance, she was related to Tao Lei!
I was replying to those messages one by one, and with a "ding", new news popped up.
"Hi! Sweetheart, you're finally bubbling!"
The message was Claudia, Catherine's best friend, "How is it? It's time to come back to class. You don't know how lonely I would be without you."
A face that was exaggerated and funny appeared in Catherine's mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and typed back, "In order to let you experience more loneliness and loneliness, I decided to come back later."
"Oh, you are so cruel! Tell you the truth, you are the handsome young man who misses you. He asks me about your news every day. If you don't come back, I'll go crazy. Why don't I give him your number?"
"You dare!" Catherine instantly burst into cold sweat.
What kind of young man Claudia said is Noqi. He is a young man majoring in modern languages and literature. He has been pursuing Katherine for a long time.
"Tsk, I'll see when you're stubborn," Claudia continued to type with a contempt expression, "I guess it's impossible for you to ignore him this time."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"Didn't you sign up to participate in the Huamei International Exchange Student next month?"
"What does that matter to him?" Catherine quickly recalled that her predecessor did have such an idea. As a Chinese girl, she really wanted to go to the other side of the ocean to see her hometown.
"Haha, the number of applicants this time has exceeded the total of previous sessions, and the competition is fierce! And this Noqi is the grandson of our school manager. He wants to help say something, hehe."
"He wants to use this as a threat? Then I wouldn't go."
Although he was quite loud, Catherine had infinite expectations in her heart. For a moment, he really wondered whether to sacrifice her lust.
"I don't know, hehe," Claudia's tone was full of teasing, "You remember to come here on Wednesday and have an oral interview at c201 at 2:30 pm."
“Spoken? Interview?”
"It's impossible to speak Chinese language when you go to China, right? That's all that? How can you communicate!"
"Uh, okay, I'll come here." Katherine's reply was very casual.
"You don't care much about your tone?"
"Haha, okay, meet and chat."
After turning off the phone, Catherine lay on the bed, stretched out exaggeratedly, looking at the dark room but was sleepless, and her thoughts had already floated back thousands of miles away.
Just after 2 pm on Wednesday, Catherine appeared at the door of classroom c201.
Although it was not yet time to arrive, there were already many people coming. They were crowded with people, and they all gathered in the bulletin board on the corridor wall to find their interview numbers.
Catherine also squeezed over and found her name easily in the order of the mother-arrangement of her name. No. 31 is quite ahead. She was about to withdraw from the crowd but heard someone talking next to her.
"What's the question? How many times should I wait?"
"Oh, I'm already confused. Can anyone tell me this is a question or a tongue twister?"
"Come on, you're a tongue twister, just your big tongue?"
It turns out that there is another notice behind this list, which roughly means that students with Chinese proficiency in the next question can be given priority for interviews, which will be until 2:30.
Catherine looked back curiously and couldn't help but laugh secretly. The examiner was really good, and she could actually get this question out. She didn't believe that those bad guys who had learned some Chinese could answer it!
Customer Service Lady: Xiao Ming, how many seats do you have to wait? Xiao Ming: How many seats do you have in total? Customer Service Lady: Special wait, first wait, second wait, wait, second wait, second wait, second wait, second wait, Xiao Ming: Let me take a look, wait. Customer Service Lady: Don’t wait, wait a little longer. Xiao Ming: Then let’s do this if you don’t wait.
How many seats did Xiao Ming buy in the end?
In the envious eyes of everyone, Catherine knocked on the classroom door of c201 without panic.
It was probably her Asian face, and Catherine could clearly feel the surprise of the examiners. After carefully verifying her identity, one of the examiners with the same Chinese face asked in Chinese.
"Catherine, what are your answers to the questions on the wall outside?"
"Well, it's obvious that Xiao Ming chose the second class."
Hearing Catherine's extremely standard Chinese accent, the examiner was stunned for a moment and asked a few more questions in succession. Then he exchanged glances with the other two examiners and gave a five-star logo next to Catherine's name on the list.
"Congratulations to Katherine, you've earned the full mark."
"Thank you, dear Mr. Examiner."
After leaving the door, the students around the outside asked one after another.
"Hi, come out so soon? What's the situation?"
"Hey, is it difficult?"
"What are you asking? Are there many questions?"
"Have you passed? **"
“…”
Catherine didn't say anything, but just smiled and walked out on her own.
It’s not that she cherishes her own life, but that she is profound in Chinese. So what if they know a few answers? Just change a word or two or even change the tone...
As soon as I went downstairs, I met Claudia who was coming out of breath when I arrived at the entrance of the teaching building.
"Catherine! Why are you coming out? It's about to start!"
Claudia grabbed Catherine and asked.
"I've tested it and passed the full mark."
"Oh go! No wonder you looked so indifferent that day? But why don't I know when you know Chinese?"
"I don't even look at my face? Besides, you haven't asked."
"Okay, you're awesome! Wait for me, come out and talk to you later." Claudia left a word and hurriedly ran to the classroom.
Surrounded by green mountains and green water, the campus is very quiet. From time to time, birds of all kinds land on the lawns and trails, fighting endlessly for one or two crumbs that the students deliberately threw down.
