Next, I invite the No. 13 student Li Yan to give a speech. With the host's announcement on the stage, Li Yan stood up, waved his fist to Wang Lingling, who waved his little fist to cheer for him, and stepped onto the stage.

Standing on the podium, Li Yan raised his eyes to look down the stage, and found his homeroom teacher Tian Feng from the leading teacher sitting in the first few rows, and found that he was looking at him with an encouraging and expectant gaze. Li Yan nodded at Tian Feng, slightly straightened the microphone in front of him with his hand, and after greeting the judges and teachers, he started his speech.

"On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., the famous leader of the black American civil rights movement, delivered his famous speech 'I Have a Dream' at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and at this moment, this great black man expressed his heart to the world......"

"Today, I am standing here, participating in a speech contest, the theme is I love my hometown and love the motherland, I think this is not just a competition, as a Chinese middle school student, as a new generation of Chinese middle school students who grew up in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, we have no racial discrimination here, no assassination, some are just sunny, some are just warm spring breeze. But standing on this podium, I would also like to say that I have a dream. ……”

Speaking of this, Li Yan paused slightly, and the audience suddenly burst into warm applause. Although it is only the beginning, Li Yan's standard to impeccable Mandarin, just the right language tone and actions have left a deep impression on all the judges, leading teachers, and participating students present, so when Li Yan stopped for a while, the judges sitting in the front row took the lead and gave Li Yan warm applause.

"I'm a good student, isn't it, how is it compared to your Dai Jia?" Tian Feng sat on the stage, listened to the warm applause in his ears, and said proudly to Zhang Shukai sitting beside him.

"This is just the beginning, what are you proud of?" Zhang Shukai's face was pale, completely missing the smug look that Dai Jia had when he was on stage just now.

"Yes, just a beginning, you can win the appreciation of the judges and take the lead in applauding, you said that if Li Yan completes the speech, how much will the judges appreciate it?" Tian Feng said again.

"Hmph......" Zhang Shukai snorted coldly, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, it seems that this Li Yan really has some ability.

"Wow, Lingling, Li Yan said it so well. Ma Nana clapped her little hands vigorously and said to Wang Lingling with a smile.

"Yes, he helped me change the script, including the speech. Wang Lingling said to Ma Nana with a smile.

"Really, this Li Yan is so powerful, where did he learn Mandarin, which is more standard than Dai Jia. In Ma Nana's mind, Dai Jia's Mandarin is already the best she has ever seen in reality, but now this position has been replaced by Li Yan.

"According to him, he went to school on TV, you don't know, and his English pronunciation is also very standard, better than what our English teachers said, exactly like on tape. Wang Lingling couldn't help but be a little excited when she talked about Li Yan, and even she didn't realize that a seed of worship had quietly taken root in her heart.

"Wow, this Li Yan is really a god man, where did he learn his English, it can't be that he has foreign relatives at home, right?" Ma Nana was also a little excited, and the gossip glint in her eyes flashed.

…………

Just when the audience was talking about Li Yan's amazing performance, Li Yan's speech continued. As the speech progressed, Li Yan felt that the peak state of his speech in his previous life as a teacher gradually returned. Focusing on the pre-set outline of the speech, Li Yan's performance became more and more comfortable and free.

"I have a dream, if I grow up, I can step on the land of the motherland, I will be proud of my growth in China, proud of the magnificent rivers and mountains of China, and smile in my heart for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"I have a dream, if I grow up, I can travel all over the world, wander the fashionable streets of Paris, stroll through the romantic Vienna Temple of Music, and wherever I go, I will be proud of my black hair and yellow skin, because I am Chinese, I deeply love this land, because she is the mother who gave birth to me and raised me. ”

"Mother, I love you. ”

Li Yan finished the last sentence affectionately, bowed deeply to the audience, and waited for the judges to score him with a smile.

Wow, a burst of warm applause rang out, and for a long time, Li Yan had to bow again to express his gratitude.

"Which township is this No. 13 student who speaks so well?" whispered to the teacher in the audience.

"It seems to be from Phoenix Township, I saw him coming with Tian Feng. Another teacher said.

"Isn't it true that all activities in Phoenix Township have always been countdown, how did such a powerful character come out this time. ”

"It seems that there is no hope for our township, there are only two places, I remember that the 6th scored 98 points, and I guess this is higher. ”

…………

"How about it, I said that what Li Yan will talk about later will be more exciting, right?" Tian Feng listened to the whispers of other teachers, and said to Zhang Shukai proudly, for this Zhang Shukai who will run on himself if he has the opportunity, Tian Feng doesn't mind running him a few more times.

"Hmph, you haven't scored yet, what are you proud of?" Zhang Shukai was making the final struggle, although he knew that this struggle was meaningless.

"Or, let's make another bet, if Li Yan's score is higher than Dai Jia's, you will invite me to dinner at this hotel at noon today, otherwise I will invite you, how about it?" Tian Feng did not let Zhang Shukai go.

"......" Zhang Shukai's face twitched, he didn't pay attention to Tian Feng, and said that at this time, he would bet that he would be kicked in the head by a donkey when he went out in the morning.

…………

"Now I ask the judges to score points. The host said.

The six judges raised their bright scorecards one after another, and the host couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, five 100 points, one 99 points!"

The teachers and students sitting in the back were in an uproar, and the number 13 on the stage spoke really well, but they didn't expect the judges to give such a high score.

"Take out a high score, remove a low score, and the 13th ends up scoring 100 points. The host's voice was a little excited, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Thank you, judges, thank you, host. After Li Yan finished speaking, he was about to go down.

"Wait, can I say a few words?" said a judge in his mid-forties with black-rimmed glasses who suddenly took the microphone in front of his desk.

Li Yan stopped and looked at the judge suspiciously, he remembered that it seemed that this judge had scored the only 99 points for himself just now.

"Just now this student's speech is in Mandarin, or the emotion, tone, and demeanor in the speech process are very sophisticated, it can be said that your speech level is not weaker than the professionals of the TV station, this has been unanimously recognized by our judges, you may have also noticed, the only one of the six judges I gave you a score of 99, this does not mean that I think your speech is flawed, but I think you are still a junior high school student, there is still a long way to go in the future, little classmate, do you understand what I mean?"

"Thank you, judges, I understand. Li Yan pursed his lips, but still said humbly.

"Hehe, little classmate, I have a question, where did you learn your Mandarin?"

"I studied at school, and sitting in the third row below is my Chinese teacher, Mr. Tian Feng. Li Yan didn't mind giving this credit to Tian Feng, who had always taken good care of him, at this time.

"Thank you, Mr. Tian, for cultivating such a good student. The judges stood up, bowed to Tian Feng, and said.

"Yes, it's our responsibility as teachers. Tian Feng hurriedly stood up, his face flushed with excitement, he didn't expect Li Yan to throw such a big honor to himself.

"Little classmate, I won't say much about the time, this is my business card, if you have the opportunity, you can come to Shangyang No. 1 Middle School to find me, let's have a good chat." The judge handed over a white business card and said.

Liu Bingwen, head of the Chinese teaching and research group of Shangyang No. 1 Middle School. "This is the content on the business card, Liu Bingwen has heard of Li Yan in his previous life, the second normal of Shangyang City is next door to the first middle school in the city, for this Liu Bingwen, not only the students of the first middle school in the city, but also the students of the second normal are also thunderous, and Li Yan, who went to school in the second normal in his previous life, is of course also familiar with it.

Liu Bingwen is a national special-grade teacher, a national senior high school Chinese teaching and research expert, and a deputy to the National People's Congress. This is what Li Yan could know about Liu Bingwen in his previous life, but he didn't expect such a legendary sitting in front of him and giving him a business card, Li Yan had a feeling of being flattered.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, I will have the chance. Li Yan said.

Li Yan stepped down from the stage and came to his seat in front of everyone's gaze and sat down.

"Li Yan, you are so powerful. Wang Lingling said with a smile.

"Yes, Li Yan, tell me honestly, did you really learn Mandarin on TV? And I heard Wang Lingling say that your English is also very good, is it true?" Ma Nana said excitedly, like a little girl from the star chaser clan in later generations.

Li Yan shrugged his shoulders and did not answer, this question has been asked by many people, Li Yan's experience is that it is best to remain silent, otherwise there will be more and more questions.

"What's dragging, isn't it just that Mandarin is better?" Dai Jia looked at Li Yan's appearance, pursed her lips, snorted, and twisted her face to the side again.

Li Yan's full score, the direct impact on the next few participating students is that the performance of these students is a little abnormal, with the previous comparison, the scores given by the judges can also be imagined.

Soon all the contestants finished their speeches, and finally in the morning competition, Li Yan scored 100 points, Dai Jia scored 98 points, and Wang Lingling scored 97 points to win the top three in the game.

Tian Feng walked out of Shangyang Hotel with Li Yan and Wang Lingling on his face, and at this time, Zhang Shukai had already taken Dai Jia and Ma Nana away. Tian Feng looked at the two students in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he became, the more he looked at it, the more proud he became, and in a happy mood, he waved his hand and said to the two:

"Let's go, the teacher will take you to a big dinner today. ”

"Teacher, what are we going to eat?" asked Li Yan.

"Eat Lanzhou ramen!" Tian Feng said.

"......" Li Yan.
