Lu Yuan casually found a place to sit down, the classrooms in the United States are all single-person and single-table, after all, the population is not as large as China, and the desktops are very small, there are no drawers, the textbook is only an English book, and there are no exercise books or test papers.

Lu Yuan flipped through the English textbook that Ms. Popper gave him, it was an old used book, and there was a letter in the cover: G, and I don't know who used it.

Because it is now the second semester of the school year, many foreign students have already passed the language test and started to officially start school.

At present, there are only two kinds of people who are still in the language class, one is Lu Yuan, who is transferred to the school to study halfway, and the other is the one who has not been able to pass the language class for a semester.

The second situation is not uncommon in the United States, especially in places like Los Angeles, where there are many foreign students.

Some children who come to the United States to study in high school or even junior high school have left the discipline of their parents and arrived at American high schools with a relaxed teaching environment, and it is easy to relax or even indulge themselves, resulting in not even being able to pass the basic language barrier.

The boy who Lu Yuan saw early to read a book was one of them, but he didn't seem to relax in his studies, but worked very hard.

After a while, students from other language classes came to the classroom, and they all found Lu Yuan's new face, but they didn't react except for a look, they all found their own places to sit down, some were bored to read, and some were playing with their mobile phones.

Lu Yuan thought that the students in the United States were very enthusiastic, and the campus would be lively, and before he came, he was thinking about how to introduce himself and communicate with others in English.

Lu Yuan observed, there are a total of 7 people in the class plus him, four of them are yellow-skinned, and judging from their appearance, there should be two Chinese and one Korean in addition to him.

Although they are all yellow, people from China, Japan and South Korea are still easy to distinguish from their faces, the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, at a glance at the look, knows that she is from the Korean Peninsula, with a single eyelid and a large cake face, the skin is very white, the head of a student with a shawl, and glasses, looks like a good student.

Two Chinese, a boy and a girl, the boy was the first to come to the classroom to study, and the girl was a small, ponytailed girl, with makeup on her face and thick eyeliner, and after entering the classroom, she sat in her position and played with her mobile phone.

The other three people, one was black, and it looked like he was from Africa, black and shiny, with a round face, curly hair, and a chubby face, and he was the only one who smiled at Lu Yuan after entering the classroom, and his teeth were really white and brilliant when he smiled.

There were also two boys who seemed to be from the Middle East, but they were dressed like ordinary people, wearing thick down jackets and looking very afraid of the cold.

The two boys were brought into the classroom by Ms. Popper, and it seems that they should be the same as Lu Yuan, students who only came to the United States this semester to study.

In this way, a small language class of seven people has arrived, and such a class is not even as large as the number of a group in a Chinese high school class.

The teacher who gave them the lesson was Ms. Popper, who first asked the new students to introduce themselves.

Lu Yuan naturally volunteered to stand up again, chattered and spoke, he didn't understand what he said, and finally wrote his Chinese name and pinyin letters on the whiteboard.

And the two Middle Eastern boys don't seem to speak much English than Lu Yuan, and they speak English with an Arabic flavor, and their tongues can't be straightened. They wrote their names on the blackboard, Lu Yuan was stunned and didn't understand, and wrote in English, Lu Yuan checked it with his mobile phone, only to know that the taller one was called Abdullah Mansour, and the smaller one was called Abduq Mansour, it seemed that they were a pair of brothers, and his father was called Mansour.

After the introduction of the new students, it was the turn of Aunt Popper to start the class, and the aunt first talked about the importance of the language class, and then talked about the time and content of the language test, and hoped that everyone could pass it smoothly.

Anyway, Lu Yuan couldn't understand when he sat there, because Popper's speed of speech was really fast, and the American accent was very strong, and the Chinese high school was full of British English, which made Lu Yuan very unaccustomed.

Soon, the seven students in the class, two Middle Eastern boys, began to be absent-minded, the Korean girl and the Chinese girl kept playing with their mobile phones, and the Chinese boy was bored reading books, leaving only Lu Yuan and the African boy listening attentively.

Lu Yuan really didn't understand it at first, but his attention was not distracted because he couldn't understand it, on the contrary, his mind became more and more concentrated, and every word Popper said passed through his brain, thinking, processing, and memory.

There is no shortcut to language learning, and by the end of the first class in the morning, Lu Yuan felt that he could already understand some of the words Popper said, and he could roughly understand what she was saying by guessing the meaning of the words.

As soon as class ended, Lu Yuan took the initiative to talk to the Chinese boy and asked him what his name was.

The boy looked at Lu Yuan and did not answer, but turned the first page of the textbook, and his name was written on it: Chu Yuanliang.

"Wow, Chu Yuanliang, your name is so domineering!"

Lu Yuan felt that this name was like an ancient general, but looking at Chu Yuanliang, thin and small, with a pot lid on his head, wearing a big black coat, he was silent, and a weak breath came to his face.

"Why don't you speak?" Lu Yuan asked.

Only then did Chu Yuanliang speak: "What is there to say." ”

"We are all Chinese, where are you?"

Chu Yuanliang gave Lu Yuan a roll of his eyes, picked up the book and continued to read, completely ignoring Lu Yuan's enthusiasm.

Lu Yuan scratched his head and felt very depressed, finally there was a Chinese who wanted to communicate and talk, but he ignored him.

At this time, someone patted Lu Yuan's back, and Lu Yuan looked back and saw that it was the Chinese girl with makeup.

"Hello, my name is Gu Zimei and I am from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. ”

The girl took the initiative to introduce herself, and Lu Yuan hurriedly greeted her.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan knew that this girl had arrived in the United States last year, and had studied at a language school in Los Angeles before, but she had not passed the exam, and then she transferred to Wilson High School to attend the language class directly, preparing to pass the language test this semester and start studying here.

Lu Yuan asked about the difficulty of the language test, and Gu Zimei pursed her lips and said, "The language test is actually not difficult. ”

"Then why haven't you been?" Lu Yuan's words had always been so direct and sharp.

Gu Zimei glared at Lu Yuan and said, "Because I didn't study hard, there are too many interesting things in the United States." ”

Lu Yuan thought about it and nodded in agreement, because he thought of basketball, and he came to the United States to play basketball.

Gu Zimei seemed to have misunderstood what Lu Yuan meant, and asked, "Add my contact information, and take you to a fun place at night?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I have something important at night." ”

Gu Zimei was rejected by Lu Yuan, but she didn't care, and returned to her position to continue playing with her mobile phone.

The language class is on the third floor of the main teaching building, and the other classrooms around it can be heard loud footsteps and talking outside the door after class, and they are changing classrooms.

The break was short, only 5 minutes, and the second class was a listening class, where Ms. Popper gave everyone a wireless headset and started playing recordings for listening and reading training.

This was not difficult for Lu Yuan, although he was full of thoughts about the sports activities in the afternoon, he still completed the listening and reading training very seriously.

There are four classes in the morning, each class lasts 50 minutes, and after school at 11:30 a.m., it's time for lunch.

The four classes are all related to English, and this class really makes Lu Yuan dizzy, so he is waiting for a good meal at noon.

Wilson's high school cafeteria is similar to that of Chinese schools, and it is also necessary to line up with food trays to get food, but with more independent drinks and snacks.

After entering the cafeteria, no one cared about Lu Yuan's Chinese face at all, and it seemed that the students here had long been surprised by the Chinese students.

Lu Yuan bought a beef and egg sandwich, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, two avocados and a few pieces of toast, which cost him a total of $10, which brought Lu Yuan's distress to tears.

After sitting down and eating for a while, the African brother in the same class sat over with a dinner plate, the African brother was really dark, his facial features were blurred, and Lu Yuan could see his appearance clearly for a long time.

“Hi，Lu！”

"Hi, uh, hats your name?"

After saying this, Lu Yuan's heart was excited, and the first sentence of English he learned in elementary school finally came in handy!

The two of them just communicated while eating, and the African brother's spoken language was slightly better than Lu Yuan's, but the accent was very strange, and he had to use his hands from time to time to make a gesture so that Lu Yuan could understand.

This little African brother is called Manuel Rapo, of course, this is the abbreviation, with 25 letters omitted in the middle, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

It has been a semester since Rapo arrived in the United States, and he did not pass the language class last semester, so he can only continue to study this semester.

The two chatted quite speculatively, although they both lacked vocabulary, but they danced together, but the communication was very smooth.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the cafeteria, and I saw a group of people rushing in at the door, all tall and strong. They spoke very loudly, and a few people laughed, which made the originally quiet cafeteria a lot noisy.

Judging by their attire, they were all wearing blue sports coats with the word Ilson embroidered on them, and they must have been from some of the school's sports team.

They made a noisy lunch, found a large table near Lu Yuan and Rabo and sat down, one of the chestnut-haired, brown-skinned people sat close to Lu Yuan, he seemed to notice Lu Yuan's face, and then beckoned to Lu Yuan's side.

Lu Yuan looked back, only to see that this chestnut hair made a movement to pull the corner of Lu Yuan's eyes, and then everyone at the table laughed when they saw it.

This is a common way to mock Asians, although some people don't think so.

But Lu Yuan thought so, and he immediately put down the fork in his hand and gestured a middle finger at the chestnut hair.

The laughter stopped abruptly, but those who looked like maroon-haired teammates quickly began to heckle, they didn't expect this new face to dare to do this to maroon-haired.

Now something happened, the smug smile on the chestnut hair's original face disappeared, he stood up from the stool, Lu Yuan also stood up, and they realized that this kid was not shorter than the chestnut hair.

The two of them confronted each other at the table like this, and the entire cafeteria looked over to this side, and the people who knew the chestnut hair were thinking about what kind of lesson he would give to this fresh face, but they didn't expect that it was Lu Yuan who spoke first.

“Soft，try me.”
