It's not that Xu Suizhu is quite confident in her own level of guidance, but that the English speech contest this year can't be compared with later generations.

The main reason is that English has not yet been fully popularized, and students in some areas do not even start to learn English until high school, and the level of instructors is limited.

Secondly, English speech is not like the afterlife - temporary lottery, a few minutes of preparation, and impromptu performance, but the registration to know the topic of the speech.

The theme of this session is around the 10th anniversary of reform and opening up, which can be the advanced people or things around us, or in the form of poetry and praise.

This made Xu Suizhu's confidence greatly increased. This is simply a question for her!

She doesn't have too many good words, sentences, and paragraphs in her mind that are suitable for English speech, isn't it just to praise the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and look forward to the future?

No stress!

If you get the content right, you're half the battle. The remaining half is a fluent and emotional recitation by the students.

However, she didn't expect that the half of the problem that she thought was super easy to solve fell off the chain.

As soon as the students of the three classes heard that they were going to the speech selection competition, they all shrunk their necks and filled quails, for fear of being named by Xu Suizhu. None of them raised their hands to say they would like to participate.

Xu Suizhu suddenly became angry.

"Hey, I said, are you too ambitious and self-defeating?"

"Mr. Xu, it's not that we don't have long ambitions, it's that it's too difficult for us. We can't even memorize the texts, so it's not too difficult for us to give a speech on stage!" replied the bold student as he stood up.

"It's all an excuse!" Xu Suizhu disagreed, "One by one, they kept saying that they wanted to learn English well, and that the English course would no longer be a stumbling block, but a stepping stone." But in fact, you retreat before you try, you don't even have the courage to take a step and try, and you still want to surpass yourself and realize your dreams?

The students at the bottom craned their necks and said nothing.

Xu Suizhu glanced at them and softened her tone: "I said that I would help you get good grades in the English class, but that requires your cooperation." What kind of effort there is, what kind of return. Considering that there is not enough time to prepare for this speech, I will write the speech for you. You just have to memorize it and recite it to everyone with emotion, and no one dares to try it?"

The bottom weakly raised a hand, which was the class representative of the second class. Then, a few more girls with good grades in liberal arts raised their hands hesitantly.

Xu Suizhu curled the corners of her mouth: "Very good, it's not too bad, at least a few classmates are willing to take this step." It's just that they are all female classmates? What about male compatriots? Are they not as bold as female compatriots?"

"Teacher, I'll go!" a group of sports committee members who are tall in Ma University stood up and said, "Lao Tzu is not good at English, but he is willing to try." Unlike some people, they usually look at their grades, but they are embarrassed when they encounter something......"

"Zhou Dongwei, don't go too far, who said we wouldn't dare!"

"That's it, isn't it just memorized and recited to everyone, what don't you dare!"

"I'm signing up!"

"I'll sign up too!"

“......”

Hey!

Xu Suizhu gave Zhou Dongwei a thumbs up, and Zhou Dongwei smiled and bowed his hand to her to say "pass the award".

Xu Suizhu shook his head and smiled.

Raised his hand and pressed it: "The classmates are quiet." Since everyone is vying to sign up, let's have an audition. From 12 to 1 o'clock at noon, and until 5 o'clock in the afternoon after school, everyone will come to the library door, and I will be waiting for you there. Regardless of whether you are selected or not, as long as you come to participate in the audition, you will have a small gift. ”

When they heard about the gifts, the students' eyes lit up. Everyone said they wanted to try it.

At the end of the exercise, the students lined up to go back to the classroom, and Xu Suizhu walked at the end of the line.

Principal Chi, who heard about the audition, came over and said, "Teacher Xu, in fact, you don't have to be so troublesome, just select a few students with better grades in each class, and choose one or two of them to compete." ”

Xu Suizhu smiled and said: "I originally thought the same way, but there is inevitably injustice. Another is to find out the bottom and see how the students feel about their language. Don't worry, principal, I promised them that I would prepare a gift, which was my personal gift, and I wouldn't let the school break the bank. ”

Principal Chi blushed suddenly.

Although he did feel a little uncomfortable with the gift that Xu Suizhu promised to go out without his consent, he thought that she also had good intentions, and wanted to select a few good seedlings to represent the town in the competition, how could she bear it alone.

Xu Suizhu saw the principal's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Principal, I will give a small gift from the audition, and when the speech contest is ranked, the school will reward the winning students." ”

The principal immediately replied, "Okay!

Shouldn't you be rewarded for your ranking?

......

There was only one English class this morning, and one in the afternoon, Xu Suizhu got out of class before nine o'clock, first went to Zhou Lihua's house to feed Xiao Baozi, and then went to the vegetable market in the town.

I bought a handful of vegetables and weighed a piece of tofu, then went straight to the fish stall and picked two big grass carp that were alive.

This spiny freshwater fish doesn't sell well in Fiordland. Seeing that someone asked for it, and bought two of them, the stall owner was happy to give a preferential price.

After returning home, Xu Suizhu covered an old dress, rolled up his sleeves, and began to kill fish and rub fish balls.

That's right, she plans to cook a pot of fragrant fish ball soup for the students who support her.

The head and tail of the grass carp are fried with stewed tofu, the middle meat section is removed, the fish meat is scraped off, the fish meat is stirred into a slurry with chopsticks, the corn starch is put in and mixed well, and then salt, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine, and ginger juice are added in turn to taste.

Then whip vigorously, see that it is almost done, hold the surimi with the left hand, squeeze out the round fish balls from the tiger's mouth, catch it with the spoon with the right hand, and put it in the pot of clean water.

The extruded fish balls should be soaked in clean water for half an hour so that they do not stick when cooked.

Boiled fish balls must be boiled on a high fire. Fish balls are only hot and not cooked, and they will change their flavor after a long time. But after boiling, you need to turn the heat to low, otherwise the fish balls will break when they collide.

With such a high demand for fire, Xu Suizhu can only rely on the gas stove.

Two large grass carp weighing eight to nine pounds boiled nearly 200 fish balls.

Xu Suizhu calculated, if every student came, one person would not be able to taste two, which would be a bit less.

She simply made another pot of ginger juice and milk.

Ginger is planted in the vegetable garden behind Aunt Ma's house, and there is a string of old ginger hanging in the corner of the stove room. People on the seaside usually have ginger cubes on their side, and it is indispensable for eating seafood.

Milk, just mix it with milk powder. The milk powder produced by Interstellar is more nutritious.

After finishing these, she drank a bowl of soup stewed into milky white fish head tofu soup for lunch, and went to Zhou Lihua's house again, Xiao Baozi woke up, played with him for a while, fed another meal, saw that the time was almost up, and hurried to school.
