Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction didn't have particularly difficult words, and it wasn't gorgeous.
Compared with her appearance, this self-introduction is even too simple.
But why, is it so attractive?
Even Catherine looked at Xia Xiaolan twice more. Xia Xiaolan just said a few words, neither complaining nor sensational, and did not make everyone laugh, but simply described her way of learning English to everyone.
The picture is too strong!
Close your eyes, as if you can see a rural girl looking through a broken English dictionary fondly.
Regardless of the judges or the audience, everyone is too simple. I don¡¯t know that there is a kind of self-introduction that contains "sell miserably". Speaking out, Mrs. Xianglin is annoying, but the latter is easy to move.
What Xia Xiaolan said was not false.
It's just that it happened in her previous life. After graduating from university, she worked as a salesman, and because of her business relationship, she started to learn English.
At that time, it was the millennium. In fact, English cram schools were blooming everywhere. There were so many ways to improve English. Xia Xiaolan could only choose the most rustic and oldest way. After graduating from university, she picked up English again, and a dictionary was almost ruined. Yes, after studying for two years, I may have accumulated enough foundation, and two years later, it will be a matter of course to get through the two channels of Ren and Du The English level is improving by leaps and bounds, and it is all because of poverty.
It's her real experience, so she doesn't feel guilty when she talks about it.
What kind of mouth did Xia Xiaolan open? Engage in sales!
Doing sales is not about being talkative, but about gaining the trust of customers. Now the judges are the customers, and the product Xia Xiaolan wants to sell is herself.
Xu Guozhang thought to himself: What he said was right with the archives.
As for whether memorizing dictionaries can reach the top 20 in the National College English Contest, Xu Guozhang cannot arbitrarily deny that everyone has different talents and different levels of effort. If others can't, it doesn't mean Xia Xiaolan can't.
This section of self-introduction is very smooth, no matter if it is prepared in advance, the pitch is just right.
Some students can get full marks in the English test. They open their mouths to speak, stutter and suddenly stutter. Xu Guozhang can only barely understand after guessing. This is poor spoken English!
Xia Xiaolan talked for exactly 5 minutes, no more, no less.
Catherine looked at the information in her hand and couldn't help asking:
"Are you a freshman? Last year, you got full marks in the English paper of the college entrance examination. You have to know that even in the UK, this is not easy to do. And you are still a student in the countryside. If you want to learn English well in the countryside, it is even more difficult. Difficult."
Catherine is not exaggerating, but in China, many people can't get full marks in Chinese.
"Yes, Teacher Catherine. I'm a freshman in Huaqing. The college entrance examination is just an exam. I can get full marks because of my hard work and a little bit of luck. But that's all in the past. I think it's more important. It¡¯s about seizing the moment.¡±
Of course, there is an element of luck to get 100 points in the test.
Even if the multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blanks are written correctly, the marking teacher doesn't like Xia Xiaolan's composition and insists on deducting 1 point or even 0.5 points for her. What can Xia Xiaolan do!
Xia Xiaolan answered to the point.
Zhan Aiqun originally wanted to ask questions to give Xia Xiaolan a chance to show off, but when he thought of getting to know Xia Xiaolan, he forcibly held back.
It was dug out afterwards, and people said, why take risks, Xia Xiaolan has performed very well so far.
The host roughly translated Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction. This is not for the audience, but for the effect of broadcasting on TV later.
Without translation, how can ordinary audience understand?
Under the stage, after listening to the translation, Grandma Zhou immediately said to Guan Hui'e:
"It's not easy for a girl like Xiaolan. She can learn so well despite her poor study conditions. Compared with her, Zhou Yi doesn't work hard enough."
Of course Zhou Cheng doesn't count, Grandma Zhou is the most partial to her grandson.
Her eldest grandson joined the army at the age of 15, and the cultural class was almost excusable. Cheng Min and Gu Siyan are still studying, let alone Zhou Yi, the eldest granddaughter, who has not set a good example. The Zhou family provides such good conditions , Zhou Yi can learn so badly It's really disappointing that she has no ambitions.
Guan Huimo nodded indiscriminately.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law and Zhou Yi didn't hear this, otherwise I would have to be careful.
Guan Hui'e hadn't recovered from the wonderful past that Xia Xiaolan told her last time. Zhan Aiqun gave away tickets and called to say that he had entered the final of the oral examination.
Tell Grandma Zhou that Grandma Zhou is even more excited than herGuan Huimo thought to herself, she didn't want to come by herself, she came with the old man.
Hearing Xia Xiaolan say that she was learning English by memorizing words over and over again with an old dictionary, Guan Hui'e thought the same as Grandma Zhou, so she couldn't bear it. Yes, no one is considered rich these days. There is no old dictionary poorer than Xia Xiaolan, and she can't learn it. Let alone learning English, it is even worse by comparison-but those people are not in front of Guan Hui'e Huang, Guan Hui'er doesn't know her either, she must think it's not easy for Xia Xiaolan.
Teacher Lin and Professor He under the stage, including the eliminated Ji Jiangyuan and others, all know Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction.
Listening to it during practice is different from listening to it during the finals.
There is an advantage to being at the top. People will listen carefully to whatever you say casually. Xia Xiaolan is a senior who sells miserably, which really touches people.
Ji Jiangyuan was thinking right now: Ning Xue is certainly a well-deserved genius, but what is the difference between Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xue? What kind of resources did Ning Xue enjoy since she was a child? She could go abroad in high school. At the same age, Xia Xiaolan is probably still looking through her broken dictionary!
On the stage, we have reached the second stage.
Listen to a short passage and retell the whole story.
The audience was silent, no audience would disturb Xia Xiaolan to listen to this story at this time.
The more I listen to it, the more strange it becomes. Familiar names such as "Melanie" and "Scarlett", the plot of the long masterpiece "Gone with the Wind" is compressed into a short essay. After the playback was over, Xia Xiaolan was asked to retell this short article by herself, her mind was running, where should I start?
The judges were all looking at her.
Catherine and Zhan Aiqun are very strange, this is not a prepared topic at all.
Why did you temporarily change to this question?
"Student Xia Xiaolan, please retell the story you just heard for us."
As an upright science girl, Xia Xiaolan's literary quality is really not high, but she has read "Gone with the Wind". The short article just introduced the plot of "Gone with the Wind", but it was a dry description.
According to the translation, it will definitely be finished.
According to Xia Xiaolan's "Gone with the Wind" she has read:
"In 1861, Scarlett, a young girl living in the southern United States, was deeply influenced by southern cultural traditions since she was a child, but wild rebellion flowed in her blood"
The author of "Gone with the Wind" has been working hard for ten years, and has only published this novel in his life. After the work came out, it quickly became popular all over the world. It is under this stage that there are really very few college students who can reach the top 200 in the country in the English competition, and the teachers who lead them to participate in the competition, who have not read the original works.
Why does this question seem to be giving points to Xia Xiaolan?
The old comrades of the TV station also had doubts. Director Wang is really so powerful that even Professor Xu Guozhang's position has been shaken? ! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
