November.

In addition to the daily teaching work, students of the library design solicitation activity actively participated.

The semi-finals of the two national college competitions that Ding Yue asked students to participate in will also be held in Wucheng and Shucheng one after another.

The semi-final of the National College Student English Speech Contest kicked off first, and the competition venue was Chinese University outside Wucheng.

Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences served as a preliminary competition point, and the players who advanced to the semi-finals were Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang.

If you want to advance to the finals in the semi-finals this time, the strength of your competitors will be improved by more than one notch.

After all, there are so many universities in Fog City, and there are not a few English experts.

What's more, there are also various awesome characters of Chinese University outside Wucheng, and Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang's promotion path still looks quite difficult.

But fortunately, during this time, Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang both practiced English very diligently and worked hard to improve themselves.

Today, it depends on how the two perform.

Early in the morning, Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang, accompanied by the head of the Department of Foreign Languages, took the school bus to the competition venue of Chinese University outside Wucheng.

As the principal, Ding Yue naturally wants to cheer for his students.

Maybe when Wen Ruohan or Chen Jiang saw that Ding Yue was also on the scene, they played well?

So after Ding Yue came to the office from the apartment building, he took the car keys and prepared to drive to the Chinese University outside Wucheng.

"Brother Yue, where are you going? ”

As soon as he walked out of the office door, he met Huang Youjie head-on.

"Wucheng Foreign Chinese University, isn't it the rematch of the National College Student English Speech Contest today, Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang are two participants, I, as the president, can't I go to the scene to sit down." ”

Ding Yue said and walked to the staircase.

At this time, Huang Youjie caught up: "Is it?

"You didn't have a class today?"

"No class. ”

"Let's go. ”

It just so happened that Ding Yue was quite bored on the road to Chinese University outside Wucheng by himself, and he could relieve his boredom on the way with a small partner.

After getting off the administrative building, Ding Yue drove his Audi A8, and Huang Youjie stopped driving and sat directly in the passenger seat of Ding Yue's car.

"Go, go, sit back. ”

Ding Yue glared at Huang Youjie.

"Understood, understood, Brother Yue's passenger seat, that is reserved for the principal's wife to sit in the future hahaha. ”

Huang Youjie laughed and unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, got into the car from the back door and sat in the back seat.

"Count you as acquaintances. ”

Ding Yue smiled and said.

Wucheng Wai Chinese University is not in the university town, its campus is in the urban area of Wucheng, so Ding Yue drove to Wucheng Wai Chinese University, which took about thirty minutes.

The venue for the semi-finals in the Fog City competition area is in the gymnasium of the Chinese University outside Fog City.

After Ding Yue and Huang Youjie arrived, they quickly found Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang, two classmates.

"Principal Ding, Director Huang, why are you here?" Wen Ruohan immediately came over to greet the two school leaders.

"Isn't this coming to cheer you on, how about it, do you have confidence?" Ding Yue asked with a smile as he looked at Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang.

"Well, have confidence!" Wen Ruohan nodded vividly and cutely.

Chen Jiang gently cupped his eyes, and also nodded: "Principal Ding, I'll do my best." ”

Chen Jiang belongs to the kind of student who wears glasses and is more introverted, and he usually doesn't talk much, but his English is really good, otherwise he wouldn't be the president of the English club.

"Wen Ruohan, Chen Jiang, hurry, ready to enter. At this time, the voice of Guo Rong, the head of the department, came not far away.

Guo Rong, head of the Department of Foreign Languages, asked in surprise after seeing Ding Yue, "President Ding, why are you here?"

"I have time today, so I'll come over and take a look, Director Guo, you can take the two of them in first." ”

"Good. ”

So Guo Rong took Wen Ruohan and Chen Jiang into the gymnasium first, and many players from other colleges and universities who participated in the semi-finals also entered the stadium one after another.

Then the staff asked the audience to start entering.

Since this is only a semi-final of the English Speech Contest for College Students, the audience is composed of some students who love English, or teachers from various universities, as well as parents of a small number of participating students.

After Ding Yue and Huang Youjie entered the gymnasium together, they found that there were still many empty seats on the scene, so they found a random place to sit down.

The rules of the semi-finals are basically the same as those of the preliminary round.

The number of judges in the semi-finals shall not be less than 7, including no less than 3 foreign judges, and the judges shall have at least the title of associate professor or above.

Ding Yue took a look, and there were ten judges in total.

In a city as big as Fog City, it is easy to find ten university foreign language teachers with associate professors and above.

There are many foreign language teachers at the Chinese University outside Kirijo.

Haowu Waicheng Chinese University is also a key university.

Soon, after the host of the contest chattered on the stage for a while, the game began.

The first player on the stage did very well.

Among the follow-up players, there is basically no one who pulls his hips, Ding Yue was dumbfounded, these players who entered the semi-finals, their English speech strength is inevitably too strong, right?

There was also a female college student from Wucheng Normal University, and after the speech, she won warm applause from the audience.

The ten judges on the judges' bench also nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Yue, these college students are so strong!" Huang Youjie said with a sigh to himself.

"They are all top English students from major universities, and they can enter the semi-finals, they are all screened in this school, can they not be amazing?"

After Ding Yue finished speaking, he began to worry about Chen Jiang and Wen Ruohan in his heart.

Whether they can enter the finals and win a first prize is related to whether Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences can be upgraded to the [Small Achievement] level.

Although the two of them are only the first line for Ding Yue to arrange to achieve achievements, Ding Yue also has another music competition for Lin Zhirou to participate in the National College Student Art Festival.

But it must be better to win the National College Student English Speech Contest!

Now it looks like it's a question of whether or not you can make it to the final.

Boom~

There was another round of applause.

At the end of the speech of a student from Chinese University outside Wucheng, looking at the scene and the reaction of the judges, you know that the performance is very bright.

Finally.

It was Chen Jiang's turn.

From the moment Chen Jiang stepped onto the stage, Ding Yue seemed to see that he was already a little unconfident.

In the end, Chen Jiang's speech ended, and on the whole it was not bad and smooth, but it was obvious that the topic of the speech could not get the points of the ten judges.

"81 points. ”

Chen Jiang's score was only 81 points.

According to the rules of the semi-finals, the average score is still above 90 points to advance to the finals.

This means that Chen Jiang is eliminated.

After passing a few more players, Wen Ruohan came on the field.

Wen Ruohan's opening won a small applause, which shows that she has been carefully prepared during this period of time, and she has also put in great efforts.

But in the course of the subsequent presentation, several judges seemed to be discussing something.

Ding Yue could barely understand the content and theme of Wen Ruohan's speech, and then he could hear Wen Ruohan's speech very fluently.

However, when the results came out, oh no, Ding Yue was dumbfounded.

"89.5 points!"

Temeow's is just 0.5 points short of advancing to the finals!

When Wen Ruohan learned of his results, he was also stunned, sad, and his brain was blank.
