"It's useless to be good-looking. I heard that she comes from a rural area and has good teaching quality. Let's wait and see how she makes a fool of herself this time." A girl said bitterly.
"It doesn't matter if your English is not good. Anyway, I have a good reputation. Even if I didn't notice, Li Zhiwei from our class was already rushing to catch up."
"Don't be so upset. Look in the mirror if you have nothing to do. Even if people don't speak English well, they still have prettier faces than you. Why are you so big-hearted? Look at what you are saying. You are talking nonsense.
, not good-looking, not professional, and the number one tongue-twisting wife!"
Li Zhiwei turned his head and impatiently lectured some girls not far away.
Chen Lishu stood up. She was a little nervous being watched by so many people for the first time. Professor Chen nodded to her, indicating that it was time to start.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Lishu..."
First she introduced it in Mandarin, and then Chen Lishu started to repeat it in English. When she finished the last syllable, there was a moment of silence in the class.
Everyone didn't expect that she could speak English so fluently.
After hearing what Chen Lishu said, Jiang Yuwei raised the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but smile.
"Yuwei, why are you happy for her when she said well?" Sun Ling was a little unhappy when she saw her smiling.
"You are wrong." Jiang Yuwei patiently explained to her: "Although she speaks fluently, there are actually many mistakes in pronunciation and wrong intonation. It is just to fool you ordinary students. If you don't believe it, just look at the teacher's reaction.
"
Sun Ling followed her gaze and saw Professor Chen frowning again.
After Chen Lishu finished speaking, she was a little nervous. When she heard Professor Chen ask her to sit down, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lishu, you speak English very well. I will study with you in the future. Otherwise, my basic skills are too poor and I'm afraid others will laugh at me."
"Actually, I also have many shortcomings. If you believe me, we can make progress together in the future."
Sun Ling suddenly turned her head: "That's nice. Didn't you see that Professor Chen frowned? He pretended to be very powerful. One dares to teach and the other dares to learn. You two are a perfect match."
"I think it's a miracle that you can live this long. Didn't anyone tell you that you are annoying because you are so ugly?"
Chen Lishu was fed up with her, but when the counselor told her to sit wherever she wanted, after she and Zhang Xue sat down, Sun Ling pulled Jiang Yuwei and sat in front of them in order to cause trouble.
Dare to say that she was ugly, Sun Ling was extremely angry: "Chen Lishu, just wait for me."
Chen Lishu ignored her, because the students had basically finished their introductions at this time. Professor Chen did not make any concluding remarks on this self-introduction, but directly said: "Let's see if anyone wants to work in the class, please recommend yourself.
."
Finally, when the long-awaited session came, several people immediately raised their hands and explained their past achievements and future work plans.
Except for the time she spent in the class of No. 1 Middle School, Chen Lishu had never been exposed to campus life in the rest of the time. Seeing them enthusiastically recommending themselves, she was surprised to see that they did not participate in the election.
Soon the class leaders were confirmed, and Professor Chen arranged for a few more people to collect textbooks. After everyone collected the textbooks and course schedule, they were free to move around if nothing else happened.
"Chen Lishu, please wait a moment."
Chen Lishu was holding her textbook and was about to leave with Zhang Xue when Professor Chen suddenly stopped her.
"I'll wait for you outside." Zhang Xue told her, took the textbook and went out first.
Jiang Yuwei and Sun Ling looked at each other in confusion. Professor Chen did not call anyone else except Chen Lishu, so they had no choice but to follow the others out.
"Professor Chen, what do you want to see me for?" Chen Lishu stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"Just call me teacher." Chen Yinchu changed his seriousness in class and showed a rare smile on his face.
"I listened to the pronunciation you just gave in class. It was a very pure American pronunciation. Do you have any relatives in the family who have been to the United States?"
Chen Lishu shook her head and smiled sheepishly: "My former teacher lived in the United States."
In fact, she learned American pronunciation when she first came into contact with English in her previous life. Sun Shuzhen was also curious about why the pronunciation she taught was obviously British pronunciation. After all, it is all British English now, and Chen Lishu has been trying to correct it, but she got it wrong.
, has had little effect.
"This is not a problem, it's just the influence of the language environment. I have a few tapes that I can lend you to listen to, and you can also read more movies and plays. I have an impression of your English score, which is very good.
I’ll have to work harder in the future.”
Although the English test does not count for points, the teachers will definitely look at it after taking the test. She scored almost full marks.
The country does not pay much attention to foreign languages now, especially for the workers, peasants and soldiers college students of the past few years. The foreign language department of the school almost has a situation where one teacher only teaches a few students.
However, if a country wants to develop, it must integrate with international standards. Diplomacy requires language communication, and English will definitely become a top priority in the future.
Now that we have a good seedling, as a teacher, we naturally have to pay more attention to it.
"Thank you, teacher." Chen Lishu bowed to him.
Being able to get Chen Yinchu's affirmation and encouragement, Chen Lishu was not only excited but also a little more confident.
"You're welcome. This is what a teacher should do." Chen Yinchu smiled and touched the short beard on his chin. In private, he was less serious than in class and looked very approachable.
Chen Lishu became a little more courageous: "My teacher once mentioned you. She said that you are a very serious and responsible teacher. It turned out to be true when I saw you today."
"Oh?" Chen Yinchu didn't expect this to happen, and he suddenly became curious: "Who is your teacher?"
"Sun Shuzhen, she is now a teacher at No. 1 Middle School in our county."
Chen Yinchu was very impressed by Sun Shuzhen. Seeing that the student taught by his own student finally became his student, Chen Yinchu felt happy and touched. He also became closer to Chen Lishu: "It turned out to be Xiao Sun's student.
She taught you well."
After coming out of the teacher's office, seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue went to the cafeteria together.
Because the school has subsidies, although you have to pay part of the food in the cafeteria, it is actually very economical. Girls like Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue sometimes don't even need 20 cents for a meal.
The two of them had nothing to do in the afternoon. Chen Lishu accompanied Zhang Xue to the library. It happened that she also needed to borrow some materials.
After the class officially started, time passed quickly, and it was Saturday. Since there was no class in the afternoon, Chen Lishu packed her things and prepared to go home.
"Didn't you say that your family is from the countryside? Do you have relatives in the city?" Zhang Xue asked curiously when she heard that she was leaving.
