There are more than 1 million English words, but more than 900,000 of them are used very infrequently, so the average person can cope with 99% of the conversations in life if he or she masters 20,000 or 30,000 words.

It is difficult for students in non-native areas to master many vocabulary, while in areas where English is the mother tongue, college students with good education can generally learn 20,000 to 30,000 words, which is the difference between non-English speaking areas and English-speaking areas.

In this era, there is no technology to test vocabulary, Su Mu is only a rough estimate, in fact, even he doesn't know how many words he masters, what he said is more than 20,000 is his guess, anyway, when reading, he almost can't touch words he doesn't know, even if he doesn't know, he will be able to check the dictionary.

His head is very easy to use, better than most people, he can remember the words at a glance, Jin Yong Gulong's novels, after reading them, he can memorize them backwards, not the top genius in the world, but he is also a genius.

Usually read a little book, play and learn at the same time, and the grades have been in the top three in the whole grade for a long time, the reason why they are sometimes lower than others is because Castellal's middle school grades are comprehensively graded, and extracurricular activities, specialties and hobbies are also included, and Su Mu does not like to participate in these activities, so the comprehensive score is sometimes lower than that of his classmates.

It is not surprising that college graduates, perhaps well-read adults, have accumulated more than 20,000 vocabulary, considering that they are still young, and Lily Temple's grades are good, and the vocabulary accumulation is just at the stage where they can take the SSAT.

And Su Mu, with his vocabulary, there is no problem with taking the ACT, so Lily feels amazing, plus this guy actually plans to finish all the questions in the SSAT exam question bank in previous years, and really does so, he is about to finish them all, which makes her feel that Su Mu is perverted, and said in her mouth:

"Well, it seems that I'm nosy, with your grades you can do well in the exam no matter what, right, Leon-san, who has learned more than 20,000 words?

I've been in the library for more than half a year just to prepare for the SSAT, why did you start studying recently, didn't it be easy to get a high score? I know your grades have been consistent. ”

The window was open, the wind was blowing in, and the faint musty smell was barely smellable from the bookshelves, so Su Mu calmly told him, "I should be able to get a good score, but if I want to compete with others for a place at Loyola Private High School or San Fernando College, I have to work harder than before."

Maybe you don't know, my family is not as rich as yours, so the high tuition fees of these schools will be a big problem for my family, my family is already worried about the tuition fees, and I have to do my best to reduce their pressure. ”

In the past, some people told Lily that her family was rich, which would disgust her, because the Eastern and Western cultures are different, and this girl did not like others to focus only on her wonderful family and ignore her own efforts.

Many children of wealthy Western families are still earning their own money to support themselves, which is unimaginable for the Chinese, who want to pursue their own lives and feel that relying on their parents and elders has no sense of accomplishment.

Su Mu told the truth, but he was not like other poor children, complaining and pessimistic.

The tone is very calm, his family atmosphere is very good, which directly affected him in the process of growing up, he is very short of money, yes, life is not very comfortable, but he can make do with it, he didn't steal or rob, and he didn't need to borrow money from anyone, so he didn't feel ashamed.

Half of the class are Chinese students, and they have been together for so many years, Lily still knows more or less about Chinese personalities, Su Mu didn't slap his swollen face and become fat, or he just met to please herself, she appreciates such a character, because the family is rich enough, so she cares more about deep things, just like the poor who can't eat enough only want to be full, and those who don't worry about food pursue deliciousness, and don't care whether Su Mu is rich or not, but she just thinks that her character is very good.

With a smile on his face, he said to Su Mu, "Come on, you will definitely be able to."

Both of these schools are star high schools in our Los Angeles area, and it must be very difficult, but I have seen how quickly you do the questions, may God bless you. ”

The word "God" is one of the most commonly used words by people every day, and Su Mu, who has no faith, or even if he does, he only believes in the God of Wealth and Buddha, smiled at this moment, replied "You too", and then buried himself in the question.

Usually, Lily has never lacked suitors and has seen all kinds of routines.

But like this time, the moment when the topic was silently interrupted by others rarely appeared in her life, and beauties always had various innate advantages, and being ignored by Su Mu was considered offensive to her.

After being stunned for a few seconds, seeing that Su Muzhen started to do the question, she thought to herself: "It's also a tasteless guy, no wonder I haven't had a girlfriend for several years......"

The image of the Chinese community, in the minds of white and black Americans, has always been boring and dull, probably similar to RB people or Koreans, and even less interesting than Indians.

There is a huge cultural difference between the east and west ends of the Pacific Ocean, and the modesty and euphemism of the Chinese are not applicable here, so most white and black girls do not like boring Chinese men, and excessive possessiveness is also the reason why they are hated.

Su Mu thought that the other party was just bored and had nothing to do, so he said a few words to himself, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, not knowing that he had missed a good opportunity to become friends with Lily.

Maybe even if you know, you won't care, after all, the two have different skin colors, different thinking, different family backgrounds, even if they become friends, they can't talk together, and they are about to leave this school, and the mind of making friends is a lot lighter, if it's the sixth grade now, maybe something will really happen between the two.

……

Restore the state of silence.

After the test papers were written by Su Mu, he looked at the electronic watch on his wrist after he finished everything, and found that it was only nearly seven o'clock, and even the sky was not completely dark, so he took out a thick writing model from his schoolbag, lowered his head and read it line by line, and soon turned to the next page, Lily glanced at Su Mu, thinking that he was browsing in a hurry, and continued to keep his head down and busy with his homework.

Li Ping'an has been home alone recently, and since the day he went to school, he has never entered the school library, and of course it is impossible to accompany Su Mu to read a book.

The school is closed tomorrow, and he is playing football with his friends in the playground until now, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Kate, who should not be in the playground, and actually beckoned to him......
