In other words, from writing the speech to memorizing the script to giving a speech on stage, there are only two days in total.

I heard that it was originally a form made up by a poetry association of Imperial Capital University, and then a leader of the school was interested in using it in speech contests, and then extended to English contests, and slowly continued.

To put it bluntly, the reason why it is valued by teachers and students is more because this form is invented and created by students and teachers themselves, which embodies a kind of freedom.

Gu Xi sighed sincerely at this time, after all, it was Imperial Capital University, and the atmosphere of pursuing freedom in the eighties was still very strong.

But there was a question she didn't understand, Gu Xi turned her head and asked Xu Maidong suspiciously:

"Isn't it that I haven't even sent the title of the competition yet, why did you say that I didn't have time to prepare?"

Xu Maidong looked at Gu Xi like a fool when he heard this:

"The questions are improvised, but the basic skills are not usually practiced, haven't you noticed that when you go out in the morning, there are people everywhere who get up early to read English, and people are all getting ready?"

Gu Xi shut up.

Then when the weekend competition passed and the results were announced on Tuesday, Gu Xi's name was clearly written on the list of finalists, and it was Xu Maidong's turn to shut up.

Especially Gu Xi not only entered the finals, but her name was also ranked first very conspicuously.

What does this mean, it means that she is the first place in the preliminary round.

With the constant discussion around him, as well as the crowd of people who pointed their names at Gu Xi from time to time, Xu Maidong turned his head and looked at Gu Xi incredulously, and said for a long time:

"I took it. ”

No wonder she was able to stand out from so many students in College A for exchange, she should have known that Gu Xi's level should not be low.

But she still didn't expect that the comparison that Gu Xi decided to participate in on the impromptu would surpass many students from Imperial Capital University who had signed up and win the first place in the preliminary round.

Gu Xi was actually surprised.

Of course, she didn't doubt her ability, and if she wasn't sure, she wouldn't have insisted on signing up at that time.

After all, she has been influenced by Yu Xiaoman recently, and her sense of collective honor has soared, and as the deputy leader of the exchange student group of University A, she must always remember that her achievements are related to the face of University A.

She just rarely competes in such a quick match.

Thinking that the final topics would be announced in two days, and the results would be out within a few days of the end of the weekend competition, and then she would have a good chance of winning the first prize that would help get the approval of the leave request, Gu Xi was suddenly full of energy.

On Tuesday afternoon, the final titles were announced.

Xu Mai Dongfeng usually copied back the topic in person and handed it to Gu Xi, slapped it on the table and said in a particularly morale-boosting tone:

"Hurry up, you write now, strive to write the speech today, and when the time comes, our whole dormitory will go to cheer you on." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Qiufeng's position, but fortunately, the person was not there, and silently added in his heart, except for her in the whole dormitory.

"Yes, after you write it, quickly memorize it and prepare well, we will take care of your food and water in the past two days, don't spend your time on these little things. Liang Rui also hurriedly smiled on the side.

The importance that the two of them attached to this competition made Lu Xiangxiang and Yu Xiaoman, two classmates from the same school as Gu Xi, have no room to interject.

In Xu Maidong's words, Gu Xi now has the ability to win the first prize, which is also the honor of their whole bedroom, so the big guys must do a good job of logistics support in the past two days.

Several people were excited all day, until a classmate knocked on the door the next day and came in to say that a professor in the department had asked Gu Xi to go.

Seeing off the classmates who passed the message, Lu Xiangxiang was very happy, and kept circling around Gu Xi:

"Go quickly, go quickly, and we'll get ready when we come back later. ”

Even Yu Xiaoman had a smile on his face.

Although it was Gu Xi who was valued by the teacher and not her, thinking that Gu Xi was a student of University A, Yu Xiaoman felt that she still had a sense of collective honor, which could be regarded as Gu Xi giving a long face to a college student.

Of course, she didn't know that her current thoughts and spirit had invisibly affected Gu Xi a lot.

Gu Xi couldn't help but nod his head when the two of them looked at it funny:

"Yes, yes, I understand, rest assured, I will live up to the expectations of the school and everyone. ”

After saying that, I packed my things and prepared to go to the department to find the teacher.

Several people in the dormitory followed her to the door, and even Liang Rui was happy, but Xu Maidong was not as simple as she thought.

Seeing that Lu Xiangxiang and Yu Xiaoman said that they would go down to buy things together, Liang Rui came back, and when she saw Xu Maidong sitting there thoughtfully, she couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong?"

Liang Rui wanted to joke if she was envious of Gu Xi's achievements.

Because he knew that Xu Maidong was quite open-minded, he dared to say that, and Liang Rui, who was timid by others, would definitely not be joking.

As a result, I didn't expect Xu Maidong to react more than she thought.

After hearing Liang Rui's question, Xu Maidong stood up and opened the door first to look out, and saw that there was no one at the door, so he plugged it in from the inside.

Then he came back to look at Liang Rui, who was a little stunned, and asked:

"Have you ever wondered which teacher you went to just now to find Gu Xi?"

"Isn't it, Professor Lin from the department?" Liang Rui thought about the words of the female classmate who came to call just now, and said incomprehensibly.

Xu Maidong said in his heart that it was Associate Professor Lin.

Of course, this is not important, Xu Maidong said:

"Then why did Professor Lin look for her? and let her bring the final script?"

Liang Rui was completely stunned, and without thinking too much, he followed the train of thought that normal people would have:

"Professor Lin should be the teacher in charge of the competition, Gu Xi entered the finals, and her grades are still very good, isn't Professor Lin asking her to bring the manuscript to guide her?"

After speaking, he looked at Xu Maidong in confusion, completely unable to understand why she was so serious now.

"It's not. Xu Maidong gave her a negative answer, shook his head and said, "Although I didn't sign up for the competition, the class leaders are responsible for organizing the competition, and I am sure that the teacher who leads the team in our department is not Professor Lin." ”

"Huh?" Liang Rui still didn't understand what she was going to say, but thought about it and said, "That, it could also be that Professor Lin knew that Gu Xi's grades were good, so he temporarily decided to guide her." ”

This is not impossible, compared to the situation of a few decades later, when there were as many undergraduates as dogs and graduate students everywhere, today's college students are very valuable.

That's why there are students who have achieved results, and when they are not allowed to ask for leave and the management is strict, they can still have teachers to help buy tickets home, Liang Rui thinks this is completely reasonable.

"Perhaps. Xu Maidong hesitated, but did not say his guess.

When she heard that a teacher called Gu Xi, she had the same idea as Liang Rui.

But when she heard that it was Professor Lin, she suddenly remembered the conversation she overheard when she went to the department last time.
