Chapter 14 School

The next day, Yuan Yi and his son got up early. After washing up, they didn't bother to open the fire and went to the supermarket next to the school.

Yuan Yi had already checked out the opening time of the supermarket. It is said that there are not many supermarkets like this that open at 7:30 in the morning. After all, New Zealanders are used to working hours from 9 to 5.

"Dad, your breakfast?"

"I'll send you there and do something back," Yuan Yi smiled when he touched his son's head.

There are not many varieties of breakfast in the supermarket and it is expensive. For example, the bread with a hot dog and a little tomato sauce is 2.5 yuan, which is the cheapest thing here.

You should know that the whole bag of hot dogs on the freezer shelf next to it is only $6.99, which is 1 kilogram! In addition, the tomato sauce is $2.99 ​​a bottle and the bread is $0.99 a bag.

Yuan Yi planned to come and buy these when he sent his son to school. All the items were 11 yuan, which could make more than ten breakfasts like this in front of him.

There are benches outside the supermarket. Yuan Yue threw the bread crumbs on her hands to the seagulls waiting beside her while gnawing on breakfast. It was a pleasure to watch the birds who were not afraid of people scrambling to eat.

It was a bit early to arrive at the school, but there were already many children wearing the same school uniform as Yuan Yue on the nearby streets, coming here in groups of three or two. Many of them were walking, chasing, and many were scooters or bicycles, but it was rare to have parents like Yuan Yue to be their own companion.

"Dad, you go back first. I'm afraid I'll lose it when I'm here?"

"It's okay, it's still a little early. I have to find a teacher I met yesterday to hand you over to her."

Yuan Yi is still the kind of Chinese people who are caring for him. Nowadays, every family is only children, and his wife is gone. This child is the only mark left by his wife, and he cannot be careless!

"But you haven't had breakfast yet. Mom said you can't be hungry if you have stomach problems."

"It's okay now. But you, remember to buy some delicious food at noon, don't be reluctant to spend money."

Seeing that his son took the initiative to mention his wife for the first time in this period, Yuan Yi's heart trembled, but he did not dare to follow his son's words.

His son is still young, and Yuan Yi didn't know how to relieve him of the psychological depression of losing his mother. After much consideration, he could only try not to mention it. Perhaps he would naturally be able to stay calm after a long time.

"I went in by myself. Classroom No. 16, isn't it the one on the top of the second floor?"

Yuan Yue was a little disdainful of her father's concerns, and waved her hand and turned around and went inside.

The black school uniform with a touch of his body made Yuan Yi feel quite energetic. The shorts, stockings and leather shoes were even more eye-catching. This is a scenery that cannot be seen in China, especially the empty big schoolbag behind him, no longer has heavy books.

Seeing Yuan Yue walk directly into classroom No. 16, Yuan Yi left with some confidence.

On the way, I went to the supermarket to buy all the breakfast ingredients, and when I got home, I heated the hot dog in the microwave and squeezed some tomato sauce and bread slices. This would save you two or five in the future.

The taste was pretty good after tasting it, the key is that it is not as complicated as Chinese food at all. It is really suitable to use it in this tight morning.

As soon as we finished eating, a car horn sounded in the yard outside. This was the place where Niu Kelian and his wife came to pick them up to work.

"How about it? Are you still used to these two days? I'm so busy here that I forgot to call you even if I'm not allowed to call you."

As soon as he got on the car, Zhang Yafang asked apologetically, and Niu Kelian on the side smiled and nodded and greeted him and started the car.

"The child and I are both very good. Dr. He and Teacher Peng have given us very enthusiastic help."

"That's good, that's good," Zhang Yafang responded hurriedly, "Our training institution will be busy just now. I don't care about too many of you. The child's admission will be smooth."

"It went smoothly. I just sent him to class," Yuan Yi replied with a smile, "It's thanks to the school you helped contact, it's so convenient to be so close!"

"The education system in New Zealand is very different from that in our country. Before high school, there are guiding entertainment education. In other words, it is similar wherever you study in junior high school, so people here all choose nearby as their first choice for school choice."

"Does it really play when going to school here? You don't teach any cultural knowledge?"

After all, Yuan Yi still can’t turn around. Is sheep-style learning reliable without any pressure?

"Don't worry, high school will be the time to study hard in two years. Now it is just guiding children's desire to explore learning. Unlike in China, there are various exams and rankings since elementary school, which makes adults and children tired together."

"It sounds good. I'm also worried that my child will not understand it in class. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it."

What Yuan Yi was most worried about before was that his son had communication and communication at school, or other things except those who could understand math formulas, he probably would have to be disgraced.

"Well, but the most troublesome thing now is this English. Not only him, but you are also facing this problem."

"Oh, don't it be said that by throwing people into foreign countries, you can naturally have communication skills?"

"Those are all rumors. Think about it and know how you can learn a language when you can't understand anything? You must know that we are facing an adult environment. No one will slow down his speech as much as a baby who is a dentist and repeatedly tell you."

The learning of language involves the English training category offered by Zhang Yafang. A good story finally made Yuan Yi understand the absurdity he understood before, and he couldn't help but worry more and more about his and his son's current situation.

According to the English listening and speaking ability rating described by Zhang Yafang, both himself and his son are only at level 1. This level means that people around him basically don’t understand what they say.

The legendary argument that English will naturally be better after going abroad is not completely unreasonable. For example, children with English listening and speaking level of 1 or even 0 happen to come here to go to elementary school for 1 and 2nd grades, because teachers at that stage speak words and simple short sentences, and their speaking speed will be very slow, and they will naturally understand them over time.

Yuan Yue is in the 7th grade now, and the students in the class are at least at level 6. Naturally, the teacher also teaches at this level. Not to mention the fast speaking speed, the course involves a wide range of content. In this case, listening to the teacher's class is like a plane.

"The schools here are very humane and should not let their children's language problems be ignored. In recent years, as the wave of immigrants in New Zealand has become more and more popular, they will definitely have a corresponding solution."

Seeing Yuan Yi's worried expression, Zhang Yafang turned to comfort him, "But you, go back to our place to train first, hehe."

"Oh, I've never regretted that I had to use it. I would have put more effort into English when I had known I would have done more time to study!"
