Courilan School was founded in 1991 and the majority of its students come from downtown San Francisco.

It is a boarding school with student dormitories, and it is not ranked high among all private schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, ranking outside the fifteenth, from the first grade to the twelfth grade.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaokai entered this school by mistake, and later his parents didn't think about replacing it, and the admission rate of famous schools was not bad, because they wanted to make money and lowered the admission threshold, which lowered the ranking, and the teaching quality was actually very good.

There are four people in a dormitory, which is not as comfortable as the dormitory configuration of the university, and the kind with the bed and the table.

University dormitories in the United States are mainly single rooms, although each room is not large, and it is more comfortable to live in than this kind of bed and table, as long as it is not too noisy and will not be disturbed by other roommates.

In the 11th grade, the dormitory was still the floor where the lower grades were located, and among Zhang Xiaokai's three roommates, two were white and one was Chinese-American.

When I got up this morning, the two white classmates who had a good time came up to him and asked, "Why do you only read French books lately when you get up so early to study?"

"To disgrace my French teacher and regain my dignity!"

Zhang Xiaokai speaks French, fluent in French, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear a bit of Parisian "local grammar" accent.

He did have a talent for language, so he packed his schoolbag and left the dormitory with his head raised under the bewildered gaze of the two white roommates.

A roommate named David whispered to his friend, "I remember he just learned pronunciation a few days ago, right, did he learn French in just a few days? Matt, what is he, monster?"

Another white roommate was unwilling to bow his head and admit defeat, so he didn't have the courage to say: "Maybe it's just this sentence, we can't understand it anyway, who knows if he is right!"

————————

In math class, Zhang Xiaokai bowed his head to do exercises and began to mock the SAT exam.

Since skipping a grade, the male teacher has approached him several times and asked Zhang Xiaokai to come on stage to solve more difficult math problems.

It's been made several times in a row, so even if he sees this little Chinese guy not listening to the class at the moment, the teacher doesn't care, and occasionally sees how he is doing.

found that Zhang Xiaokai was engrossed in his pen and his pen was flying, and the male teacher was satisfied and unwilling to disturb him.

For smart students, management is often more relaxed, and everyone has a different learning style, and it is not necessary to listen carefully to learn well.

After class, the teacher took a few minutes and changed the test paper according to the answers, and all of them were correct.

If he hadn't watched Zhang Xiaokai brush the questions with his own eyes, the teacher would have doubted whether Zhang Xiaokai had copied the answers.

In English grammar class, since the beginning of the school year, I learned that Zhang Xiaokai has mastered more than 20,000 words, including "honorificabilitudinitatibus" and "floccinaucinihilipipification" and so on the super difficult vocabulary to memorize, and then let him write an English exposition, after reading it, I never cared about Zhang Xiaokai's grammar learning, because many words in that article, the teacher also checked the dictionary to understand.

I didn't dare to ask questions, for fear of losing myself in front of other classmates.

People are more popular than people, learning this kind of thing is really not just hard work, talent is quite important, but if the brain is not enough, and you don't work hard, then there is really no hope of surpassing smart people.

For Zhang Xiaokai, studying has always been a simple matter, and he once wondered why his classmates were sad when they heard that they were going to take the exam.

After lunch, it was finally time for French class.

has been preparing for this moment for a long time, and recently Zhang Xiaokai has gradually returned to his nature and found his character of not admitting defeat.

Came to class early and sat in the first row.

Under the teacher's nose, he was afraid that the teacher named Afra would not find himself to answer the question later.

It's not that she wants to recognize herself, he doesn't need the approval of this annoying teacher, he just wants to prove that French is simple, easy to learn, and not difficult at all.

Sitting there and looking at "Uncle Tom's Cabin", the French version, it just so happened that the literature teacher asked them to write reading notes and learn French, which was a combination to deepen their memory of French vocabulary.

It's not yet proficient, but the textbooks and reference books used in class have been thoroughly eaten by Zhang Xiaokai, almost 3,000 vocabulary, and there is no big problem in daily communication.

Other students came one after another, and Teacher Afra also walked into the classroom, this woman's heart is no bigger than that of old Ronald, seeing Zhang Xiaokai reading French books, she made a decisive speech and ridiculed: "There is a little classmate in our class, who has not even learned how to greet in French, and has already read French books, which simply shocks me!"

Where is the shock, it is clear that Zhang Xiaokai continues to be treated as a joke.

I'm not afraid that this teacher will find fault, but I'm afraid that she won't find fault.

Zhang Xiaokai closed the book and sat there, and asked in fluent French: "Do you have any opinion of me, Mr. Afra? Because I don't know French, you can laugh at me? So doesn't it mean that I can laugh at you in Chinese or English, and last time I said in class that Asians can't learn standard French, can I understand that this is a kind of prejudice against Asian students?"

When a teacher should impart knowledge to students, instead of laughing at students because they don't understand, I don't expect you to give me any letters of recommendation, and I don't need your letters of recommendation. That's it, the main reason why I continue to take your class is to tell you that it only took me six days to master French, and all that was missing was time to memorize French words, and it was not difficult to learn at all. ”

Teacher Afra was completely stunned after hearing this, and stammered, "No...... No, it's not a bias against Asians, I'm just stating the facts. ”

In the United States, especially teachers and politicians, no one wants to have anything to do with the word racism, Zhang Xiaokai said decisively: "Now I want to say that your so-called facts are not correct, since you can't teach me anything, it is better for me to study by myself, can I withdraw from your elective course? I want to spend my time on more meaningful things, sorry." ”

Most of the students in the class only understood a rough idea, and the students who were good at French looked at God with a look of worship.

They couldn't figure out how this little Chinese guy was so bold that he dared to raise the bar with the French teacher, but they didn't have the idea of fighting for the teacher, they still remembered that the teacher laughed at Zhang Xiaokai in the last class and belittled him in a tone that seemed to be a joke.

This teacher's usual personality is like that, and there are more than one or two students who have been sarcastically ridiculed by her, and today he was kicked to the steel plate.

Zhang Xiaokai, a more serious bull, actually spent six days learning French, just to teach Teacher Afra to learn to be a man, and the students looked at him with admiration and admiration.

Just go, pack up your books, hold them in your hands and leave the classroom.

There are other electives where you can brush up on GPA (grade points), suddenly skip grades, GPA data is not good-looking, if you want to enter a good university, it is better to prepare more.

I was not prepared to leave French like this, thinking that I would study more when I had time in the future, and at least I would not have to spend money to find a translator when I traveled to France.

I took the initiative to talk to the dean of academic affairs, saying that I had a bit of a conflict with the French teacher and wanted to withdraw from this elective course and take German instead.

Knowing that there was an accident at Zhang Xiaokai's family, he didn't dare to be more excited, and after saying a few words lightly, he asked him to report directly to the German elective course and learn with other students.

At first, I thought it was because the little guy was active, and he felt that French was difficult to learn, so he was half-hearted and unwilling to learn, but when Zhang Xiaokai was in class, the news of using French to scold the French female teacher gradually fermented and reached the ears of the director of academic affairs.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had thought about it, and he couldn't learn it.

For a while, Zhang Xiaokai became the man of the year in Cueriland Middle School, and his reputation was stronger than that of a quarterback......
