Chapter 22 The dust is unsettled, you and I are dark horses!
Perhaps it was Song Kang's outstanding performance that caused a kind of psychological pressure on many people.
So much so that several students who came to the stage later scored very low.
They always scored between seven and eight points.
According to this trend, the first place in this competition is none other than Song Kang.
It's finally time for Liu Wenwen to play.
She's more nervous than anyone else.
His forehead was covered with sweat.
Standing on the stage, Liu Wenwen's brain went blank.
I couldn't remember the content of the speech I had thought about in the audience before.
In the end, Liu Wenwen scored only six points, the lowest known.
Back in her seat, Liu Wenwen pursed her lips and said nothing.
Before she came, she swore in front of her classmates and teachers that she would definitely get good results in this competition, but now she ......
She is a person with strong self-esteem, and now that she has the lowest score, she must feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"Wenwen, it doesn't matter, no matter who it is, it will inevitably be like this for the first time on stage, this time I have experience, and it will be fine next time. ”
Tang Kexin handed over a facial tissue.
"I'm fine. Liu Wenwen took the tissue and wiped the tears from her face.
The speech contest continued, and several students in the back also performed well, but Song Kang was always the first highest score.
"Let's invite Zhang Xiaoqiang, the No. 19 participant, to give a speech for us!"
As the host's words fell, Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up and walked towards the stage.
Sparse applause rang out.
At the beginning, no matter who came on stage, the applause was still very warm.
But by this time, everyone was numb.
Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't care about these, the standard of the judges' scoring is not to see who everyone gives more applause.
Standing on the stage, Zhang Xiaoqiang first bowed to everyone, and then took the microphone off the microphone shelf.
"You're special, and you take the microphone down, you really don't understand the rules. ”
Song Kang, who was cross-legged, sneered, and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with disdain.
On the stage, Zhang Xiaoqiang began to speak.
But he spoke English.
After a speech, the intonation was perfect, the speech was clear, and the grammar was appropriate.
Not only were all the teachers and students in the audience dumbfounded, but even several judges and teachers were dumbfounded.
"Even, idol!"
Ding Weiwei, who has always been proud of his English grades, was completely conquered by Zhang Xiaoqiang when he heard him speak in English!
Brother Qiang is really good, not only can he write novels, but his English is so good, I will mess with him in the future!
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, with all due respect, you used grammar and vocabulary that you only dabbled in in college in your speech just now, are you self-taught?"
"Yes, I prefer English. ”
"But with the current level of English of most of the students, you can't understand your speech, what is the purpose of your speech?" another judge asked.
As soon as he heard this, Song Kang, who was still restless, suddenly felt his eyes light up.
Just now, when he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang actually speaking in English, and he spoke so well, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Now it's okay, the judges don't approve of you, what's the use of you talking about how good you are?
The first place is mine, the prize money is mine, and you lose the bet between us, so you just wait to run naked!
Song Kang almost laughed out loud,
Hearing the judges' questions, Zhang Xiaoqiang replied:
"It's such a teacher, I don't think the ranking of this competition does not matter to me, it doesn't matter if the students understand it or not, this is the first time in my life to give a speech, I want to take it as an experience.
I don't know if you read the news last week, the United Nations invited students from several countries to give speeches, and everyone spoke English, and our Chinese students did not speak very well in English, and they spoke Chinese, so the United Nations also invited a translator for this purpose. ”
"What? Do you still want to go to the United Nations to give a speech?" The judge smiled: "These students who have been invited to speak by the United Nations are very good, do you think you will receive an invitation from the United Nations to give a speech?"
"The dust is undecided, you and I are dark horses, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang is neither humble nor arrogant: "When you see this news, you may only have envy for those students in your eyes, but how many people see the gap between our country and other countries?"
Why don't students from the Soviet Union and Taiguo ask for an interpreter, and why do students from our country ask for an interpreter? Is this a place worth pondering?"
"Okay, very good!" The judge teacher stretched out a thumbs up to Zhang Xiaoqiang: "To be honest, I didn't understand your English speech too well just now, because I am a physical education teacher, but I will give you full marks for what you just said." ”
After speaking, he looked at the other judges and teachers: "Several, you can also give a score!"
One of the teachers looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang: "A young man is a strong country, what you said just now shocked me, I will give you full marks." ”
"I have such a strong view of national honor and disgrace at a young age, I am ashamed of myself, and I will give you full marks. ”
"And me. ”
"And me. ”
“......”
The eight judges and teachers all gave Zhang Xiaoqiang a full score.
So, his final score is 10 points!
First place in this competition!
"Let's congratulate Zhang Xiaoqiang! At the same time, we also congratulate Song Kang, who won the second place, and Tang Kexin, who won the third place, on the stage to receive the award!"
The spotlight hit the stage, and the three leaders of the Education Bureau came to present the awards in person.
In addition to the award certificate, there are also cash prizes.
10,000 for the first, 8,000 for the second, and 6,000 for the third.
Song Kang was very dissatisfied with this result, but he couldn't say anything yet.
Facing the leaders of the Education Bureau who presented him with the award, he smiled very embarrassedly.
"Hey, don't go out for a while, and don't forget the bet between us. Zhang Xiaoqiang touched Song Kang with his arm and said deliberately.
Song Kang's face was flushed, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
This competition ended, and as soon as he came out of the theater, he saw Song Kang getting into a taxi like a burning butt.
This time it's a shame, and he doesn't want to stay here.
Zhang Xiaoqiang touched the thick wad of money in his pocket, and was happy in his heart: "Let's go, I'll invite everyone to a big meal!"
The teachers and students happily went, and after eating, everyone returned to the hotel to pack their bags and return to school.
"I really didn't expect that the top three in this competition, our Railway Middle School actually accounted for two, what a surprise, thanks to Zhang Xiaoqiang's outstanding performance!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang touched his nose and said in his heart that if there was no prize of 10,000 yuan, I wouldn't have come to participate in any competition!
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, your English is so good, can you help me improve my English scores. Tang Kexin pulled Zhang Xiaoqiang's foot and whispered.
Noticing Ding Weiwei's strange eyes, Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly replied: "Ding Weiwei's English is also very good, you can ask him to help you, I believe Ding Weiwei will be happy." ”
