Chapter 179: Biting My Tongue
The auditorium of 500 people was packed, and the professors sat in order of seniority, with the first few rows in the middle in order. The students who spoke sat on the left side, which made it easier for them to come on stage. Some of the students from other schools who came to participate in the exchange meeting were on the right.
Basically, the English teachers of our school filled the seats in the first few rows, and then separated a one-meter-wide aisle, and from the back of the aisle were the students' seats.
Originally, it was planned to open 500 seats to students, after all, there were too many people and it was useless, and the things they discussed were not understood by ordinary scumbags.
Speeches are made in sections, and in order of depth between the same sections.
Chen Xin's speech was the seventh, the third in the same section, and after her, a speech by a doctoral student at BGI, who is said to have written his graduation thesis, and if he can pass all the professors' questions this time, he can basically start the graduation process after going back.
Chen Xin's mentality is very stable, and she has participated in several large conferences and has the experience of speaking at conferences, so compared to other students who participated for the first time, her overly calm demeanor made the people around her more nervous.
The students who spoke were gathered together for a brief training after breakfast today, mainly to talk to them about the relevant process of speaking on stage and the etiquette when interacting.
Originally, there was no need for such a formality, according to the doctoral student, he had participated in it once before, it was a conference room, the teachers sat at the long conference table in turn, they sat behind the wall, and if they wanted to speak, they just stood up and read the manuscript, where is it so formal as this time.
"I've heard that there are also TV stations that come to film, and they will also broadcast on the news channels of local TV stations. Why am I so nervous, will I forget the words? "Some of my classmates are going to cry.
I was secretly proud that I could speak on stage before, and I knew that it would be so grand, and they completely agreed to give this honor to other students!
But it's too late to say this now, and you have to go through it whether you live or die. Some people with big hearts plan to break the jar and break it, anyway, at this level, what do you like to say. There are also some people with poor psychological quality, whose little faces are whitened at this time, and there are words in their mouths, for fear that they will forget what to say as soon as they come on stage.
Chen Xin was still listening to the host's introduction, but suddenly heard the female classmate next to her actually sobbing quietly, she looked over, and saw that the other party kept wiping her tears, and the whole person was so sad that she couldn't do it. And to Chen Xin's surprise, the corners of this girl's mouth were still bleeding. How scary must that be?
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Xin took out a wet tissue and handed it to her, asking her to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, for fear that people would think that she was so scared that she was about to vomit blood.
"I, I was nervous and bit my tongue. When the girl spoke, her tongue felt a little unable to move, and Chen Xin finally heard what she was saying, so she went up like this, so that the ghost could understand her speech.
It seemed that the bite was still a little hard, she opened her mouth, and the blood was left again, Chen Xin hurriedly found a volunteer student, and wanted the other party to take this girl to the infirmary to have a look.
But the girl didn't dare to leave, she was the third to speak, and as soon as she left, she was vacant in the middle. If you cancel the speech, you don't know what kind of thunder and anger you will have to face when you go back.
"You can't do this, you go to the stage to speak in such a state, and no one can hear what you say clearly, and the consequences are more difficult to accept than not speaking. ”
"She's just biting the base of her tongue, it's not a big problem, so you can find someone to get her some ice cubes and let her hold it, which will stop the bleeding quickly and relieve the pain." Then ask the infirmary if there is anything anti-inflammatory, and if so, get some back. ”
The senior sister sitting behind them looked very experienced in dealing with this situation, and it was arranged in three or two clicks.
"But what about her speech?"
Everyone didn't know what to do about this problem, and in the end, the senior sister said to go directly to her mentor to see how the tutor arranged.
This girl is English linguistics and has a lot of theories. The speech is actually not difficult, just look at the order in which she arranges, there are a total of six people who speak in linguistics.
According to each person's three-minute speech, five-minute questions, plus the time to go on and off the stage and introduce themselves, it is basically ten minutes, and now the host's speech is about to end, and the wound on her tongue is still bleeding beads, and it is obvious that the wound is red and swollen.
was interrupted by her like this, others were even more scared, and it didn't matter if they had big hearts, and this female classmate couldn't stop crying.
Her mentor asked her if she could go to the stage and read the speech before going to treatment, and she could ignore the questions. "The volunteers who went to find her mentor came back, and the news was not good," said none of her classmates, who were willing to go on stage for her, saying that they did not know what she had written in her manuscript and were afraid that they would not be able to complete the task. ”
In fact, none of the people present believed this, and if there was anything that could not be read according to the script, it was not that they were afraid of going on stage, or that they were interested in watching her jokes.
"I really can't do it, I'll help you read the manuscript. The senior sister frowned and said, "But I am studying Spanish translation, and I don't know enough about the theory of linguistics, so I may not be able to help in asking questions." ”
At this point, I don't care about asking questions, so find someone to take the top position first.
This senior sister in Spanish is a doctor.,Although it's a doctor.,But it's very experienced.,Her memory is particularly good.,I've read my sister's manuscript a few times and I'm almost able to remember it.。
The three-minute manuscript is not too much to say and less to say a lot, especially in linguistics, some things are still relatively in-depth, and students who do not specialize in research may only know what it is, but they don't know why, and memorizing it is to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
"You're going to make the people behind her more nervous. The male classmate next to her sister whispered to her for a while, "You are a doctoral student, acting too calmly will cause pressure on the people behind her, it is better to let her classmates speak for her." ”
"But her classmates weren't happy. ”
"That's none of your business, if you come out like this, you will make other people have opinions. ”
The senior sister was very unhappy, and felt that if someone really held a grudge for this problem, it would be because of their own bad character, and they couldn't blame others for their failure because of others' good performance.
The male classmate could also see that the senior sister was a little unhappy, so he turned his head and stopped talking. In fact, he didn't say this entirely because of selfishness, this time the exchange meeting was unprecedentedly grand, and there was also a TV broadcast, if everyone didn't play well because of these things, it would be terrible.
Chen Xin also heard the conversation between her brother and sister, and she still agreed with her brother's worries, and more importantly, she felt that her sister's two speeches on stage would have a bad impact on her own speech.
