Chapter 665 Final 2
Standing in the center, Vice Mayor Lu Zhenshan announced the start of today's assessment, where each contestant drew a question in his or her hand and answered it in English, while also having to answer the questions raised by the professors about his/her answers.
This is also too difficult, which requires them to not only be fluent in English listening and speaking, but also to be familiar with legal English.
As soon as this rule was announced, everyone was surprised, and Zhou Liufang asked directly, why did this happen.
His English level is very poor, and he has never used it after graduating for so many years.
"Because the first China International Legal Forum has been confirmed, there are senior experts in the fields of arbitration, constitutional law, criminal law, civil law, economy, international relations, and finance from 115 countries, as well as representatives of large multinational companies, and more than 6,000 experts from all walks of life will attend the forum, and at the same time, they will also watch the lawyers' debate competition live.
Therefore, the language designated by the contestants in this year's Lawyers' Debate Tournament is English.
As soon as the news came out, the code caused an uproar among everyone.
"How can this be? The whole world is speaking the Chinese language, why do we have to speak English instead?"
Song Lili was furious.
She flew over from Songjiang Mansion, but she didn't speak bird language.
She is a junior college student, and when she was promoted to undergraduate, she didn't pass level 4, and she didn't even have a bachelor's degree, so she was asked to speak English.
This increase in difficulty is more than 10 or 20 percentage points.
It can be said that it is a hundred times more difficult.
Not to mention, although lawyers are bachelor's degrees, many lawyers' first degree is not a bachelor's degree, they have obtained a bachelor's degree through self-study or correspondence, etc., among these people, English is very good, there should not be many.
Even if the students who are good at English, most of them have passed the fourth or sixth level in college, and most of them are dumb English or test-oriented English, and very few can listen and speak.
And among those who can listen and listen, there are even fewer who have knowledge of legal English.
Even if there is really such an excellent one, there are even fewer who have done international cases in the cave in the past few years, or who have not reviewed and studied on their own, and can keep it.
"It's not fair, we didn't use English in our lawsuits, and now let's use English, it's difficult. I don't believe it, but there are people among us who can speak fluently in English. ”
Even in international cities, English is not universal.
Song Lili glanced at everyone with a sneer, and all of them didn't look good.
Other people think the same way, they are all optimistic, only the one who studied abroad, taught English as his mother tongue, and returned to China for more than two years, Shang Luoyu, and the others are not very optimistic.
Who doesn't know that there are many people who have studied English for more than ten years and are still dumb after going abroad.
"Quiet! quiet!"
After Vice Mayor Lu Zhenshan announced the rules, he didn't leave much time for everyone to discuss, but directly took a stack of signs and asked everyone to start drawing lots.
The whole Q&A rhythm is arranged very tightly, and after the lottery, it will be the answer session immediately.
The first respondent: Huang Yixi. ”
Huang Yixi, who was named, stood up in a daze, and when everyone looked at it, their faces were a little pale, and they were probably frightened.
It's normal to be afraid.
Every time the rules change, the first responder always loses.
But what can be done? The most important thing in legal debate is to react quickly.
The judges gloated.
"I knew that I was never lucky, and I would step on cow eggs on tiptoe. ”
Huang Yixi muttered, took out a strip of chocolate from his bag, quickly peeled off the paper skin, and threw it into his mouth.
She has been hungry and nauseous lately, so she has chocolates and plums in her bag.
A piece of chocolate went down, and a little panicked heart settled.
"Why are you so rude to snack at this time?"
Professor Lin was furious.
Huang Yixi squinted his eyes, and before he could answer, Shang Luoyu stood up: "It's not rude, my lover has been in poor health recently, eating chocolate is good for the heart, blood vessels and brain, helps to relieve hunger, alleviate the problem of low blood sugar, improve the symptoms of dizziness and general weakness caused by low blood pressure, the judges or teammates can come and get it if you also need it." ”
"Since that's the case, then give up!" Professor Lin did not accept Shang Luoyu's explanation.
"Can you give up?" then ......" Shang Luoyu didn't finish speaking, and was immediately interrupted by Ke Wenxiu: "I can't give up, today's physical comfort does not mean that I am not feeling well during the official competition, Lawyer Huang, please work hard, you can rest after answering." ”
Just kidding, if she said that she could give up, as soon as she gave up, Shang Luoyu would also give up, and that Kang Mingyang would go again, and he wouldn't have to participate in the competition at all.
During this time, she has been following this competition team, and all the trainers are unanimously optimistic about the three of them.
Ke Wenxiu not only signaled Huang Yixi to take care of himself, but also asked the staff to send a fruit bowl.
Professor Lin sat down stupidly.
The professor on the stage began to read the question, Huang Yixi finished eating the chocolate, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp color flashed in his calm eyes.
After listening to the question, Huang Yixi did not answer immediately, but closed her eyes and thought for a while, although she had announced that she could think for three minutes, but she seemed to be a little longer in these three minutes.
Just when everyone couldn't help it, a series of fluent English words formed a long sentence, which flowed out of her mouth neatly, Huang Yixi's expression was serious, her voice was full and clear, and she was obviously very familiar with the laws and regulations she said.
At this moment, Huang Yixi didn't see the lazy appearance just now, his back was straight, like a clump of strong bamboo, and he had a demeanor.
Everyone was stunned.
The voices of the chatter slowly subsided, and after a while they fell silent.
Especially those mentors, in the past six months, Huang Yixi's progress is also obvious to everyone, so after knowing that Huang Yixi abstained, they have been reporting to the leaders and asking Huang Yixi to come back to participate in the competition, and some people directly said that the reason why Huang Yixi did not participate was because such an obvious internal operation chilled her heart.
After knowing that after changing the language, everyone thought she was a pity, but some people were also happy for her, and fortunately withdrew, otherwise she would have been sad if the advantage was not there.
No one wants to put in the effort to pay for it.
But no one thought that she would be so good without answering in her native language.
Huang Yixi's authentic Oxford English, if you close your eyes, definitely gives people the illusion that a foreigner is reading aloud. And this foreigner is not a farmer in a place like Texas, he is definitely a top student in the English department who graduated from Cambridge or Oxford.
Yes, everyone here has this palpable feeling.
If it weren't for the fact that she studied at Whitewater University as an undergraduate and graduate student, everyone would have thought that she and Shang Luoyu's resumes were mistaken.
Or when everyone didn't know, she also went abroad with Shang Luoyu.
