Chapter 186 English Competition
When Lu Yiming came back from taking out the trash, he didn't see Shi Qingxue. He asked the people who were still sweeping the floor in surprise, "Where's Shi Qingxue?"
"Leave."
"Gone ?"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling that something was fishy.
How could Shi Qingxue not wait for him?
Could it be that someone at home called and answered the phone?
That's possible.
Lu Yiming didn't think much about it. He immediately picked up his schoolbag and said to everyone, "Okay, go home early after you finish. Remember to turn off the power and lock the doors and windows."
After returning home, Lu Yiming made a special call to Shi Qingxue: "Why didn't you call me when you left early this afternoon? I thought you were kidnapped."
Shi Qingxue was originally in a bad mood because of what happened in the afternoon. When she heard Lu Yiming's concern for her, she felt much better, but she was still a little unhappy: "If I was kidnapped, what would you do?"
Lu Yiming snorted: "If anyone dares to kidnap you, I will kill his entire clan!"
"You think you are the emperor, but you are killing all the clans of the people."
Shi Qingxue originally wanted to tell Lu Yiming what happened in the classroom, but then she thought it was unnecessary, so she told a white lie: "I had something urgent to do this afternoon, so I left first. I forgot to say hello to you in advance. I'm sorry."
Lu Yiming was very generous about this: "It's okay, but I won't allow it next time. If you suddenly disappear without calling, I will be very worried about you."
After listening to Lu Yiming's words, Shi Qingxue felt that Lu Yiming cared about her and was slightly moved. She felt that compared with Lu Yiming's feelings, what happened this afternoon seemed a little insignificant.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention next time."
" Okay , I forgive you. I'm going to take a shower first. I got dirty when I took out the trash just now."
"good."
Lu Yiming took a shower, then took out his textbook and started studying.
Since you have boasted that you will get 600 points in the exam, you must do your best to achieve it.
After all, I took half a month off right after school started. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I fell behind in my studies because of this?
In addition, he also had to pick up the knowledge he learned in the first and second year of high school as soon as possible. Therefore, Lu Yiming's learning task was still very arduous and he had to race against time.
Fortunately, English, which is a headache for all students, is the easiest subject for Lu Yiming.
As for Chinese language, it is basically just about reciting some ancient poems, while the rest of the reading comprehension and writing are entirely up to your own performance. This is not a difficult task for Lu Yiming, a mature person in his second generation.
The two major subjects were solved directly, and Lu Yiming only needed to cram for the remaining subjects.
The weekend passed quickly, and the month-long vacation was over in the blink of an eye. Lu Yiming consolidated a lot of math knowledge.
On Sunday night, during evening self-study, Zhu Hanwen walked into the classroom with his lesson plan and announced something.
"The annual city-wide high school English competition is about to be held. This is a very high-level competition. As long as you are in the top five during the finals, you can represent all the high school students in the city and go to Huangren College in Xiangjiang for a week-long study exchange. This is a very rare opportunity. If anyone wants to participate, go to Wu Kejun to sign up. Time is running out, so you should sign up now."
Wong Yan College is the oldest government secondary school in Hong Kong. It uses English as the medium of instruction. For those who are about to take the college entrance examination, being able to go there for a week-long study and exchange is definitely a great help.
When the students heard that the top five finalists would go to Hong Kong, they were immediately excited. Apart from the learning exchange, for the current stage of mainland high school students, just having the opportunity to go to Hong Kong to have a look is already worth it.
"I want to sign up."
Li Zhengkai took the lead and stood up almost as soon as Zhu Hanwen finished speaking.
As a top student, although his English score was not the best in the class, it was definitely one of the best.
Everyone felt that Li Zhengkai's registration was natural .
As the class monitor, Wu Kejun naturally took the lead and took out her notebook and wrote her name first.
Zhan Jingyun had good English grades, so she also signed up.
Wu Qiuya, Zheng Fengting and others also signed up. Although their overall scores were only above average, their English scores were outstanding.
Seeing several students rushing to sign up, Zhu Hanwen expressed great satisfaction: "This competition is not just a competition. You can regard it as a rehearsal for the college entrance examination English subject. If you have the conditions, it is very good to sign up for it. But I have to remind you that if you sign up for this competition, you may need to squeeze out more time to study in your daily life."
Those who can participate - or want to participate in this kind of competition are all top students in the class. Even if Zhu Hanwen didn't say this, they know that they have to study harder.
After a while, Wu Kejun handed the list to Zhu Hanwen. Zhu Hanwen glanced at it and said in surprise: "Lu Yiming, why didn't you sign up? Isn't your English very good?"
Lu Yiming's grades used to be at the bottom of the class, except for the last monthly exam where he performed well and scored in the middle.
This kind of competition has always been a competition ground for top students.
Therefore, no one even thought about the possibility of Lu Yiming participating in the competition.
After Zhu Hanwen's reminder, many people remembered that Lu Yiming had scored full marks in English in the last monthly exam.
Of course, Zhu Hanwen knew more than that. Last semester, Lu Yiming was at his house and was able to converse with Bill Gates fluently in English!
Even Sun Jiatong, an expert English teacher, can't do this!
If someone must participate in this competition, Zhu Hanwen feels that there is no one more suitable than Lu Yiming.
Suddenly, all the students in the class turned their eyes to Lu Yiming.
"Oh, yes. Lu Yiming got full marks in English last time."
"I really didn't expect that Lu Yiming is so powerful."
"He really should have signed up."
Lu Yiming never expected that he was involved in this.
What kind of English competition is this? It sounds boring, okay?
Going to Hong Kong?
Study and exchange?
What a joke.
Shi Qingxue's grades were average, and even if she signed up, she wouldn't be able to get into the top five. If he couldn't go with Shi Qingxue, Lu Yiming wouldn't be interested at all.
Lu Yiming wanted to refuse helplessly: "I think I don't need to sign up. I still want to find time to catch up on other subjects and try to get better grades in the midterm exam."
