Chapter 33: Mutual Aid in Edinburgh
Gu Yu didn't tell her parents about the award in the end, she just called separately and said that she was very good and didn't need to worry about her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In her heart, she still didn't connect the matter of washing shoes with the great significance of what Feng Dong said. She felt that it might be possible for children from poor backgrounds to do it.
But Liu Hong found her and said in surprise: "Gu Yu, you are terrible, I have never seen Norman praise a student fiercely." You have to keep up the good work and achieve better results! ”
Gu Yu was a little confused, is there still a matter of thirty-two pairs of shoes for me to do? Do it again...... Is it still fresh?
"Gu Yu, you go to participate in the Edinburgh project, washing thirty-two pairs of shoes is just one thing, with your energy, perseverance to do one thing, you will definitely be able to do it. As long as you have a good record, this award will definitely help you apply to universities abroad in the future! ”
Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What can I do?" "There are benefits to take, of course she is willing.
Liu Hong flipped off the desk and took out a document, "Here you go, go back and see, what can you do!" ”
Gu Yu took it back and looked at it.
If it takes a lot of time, she still doesn't want to do it, she always feels that she should focus on her homework and take off the hat of a student who is struggling to study as soon as possible. Of course, she wore the hat herself, and no one at this school said so.
……
After watching a class, I finally understood that this Duke of Edinburgh's award was created by Queen Elizabeth's husband to encourage young people to participate in social activities, actively exercise, develop hobbies, and be enthusiastic about helping others to face life with an optimistic attitude.
The awards are divided into gold, silver, bronze and so on, Gu Yu took a look at it, she has no problem with the volunteer activities to improve the awareness of social service, and she has no problem with the two-day and one-night expedition activities that encourage the spirit of exploration. Physical exercise, just sign up for one at school, and it's no problem to stick to it. To develop her personal skills and hobbies, she can choose between language learning and cooking, which is also practical for later life. The only thing that was difficult for her was spending five days and four nights with someone she didn't know and completing an activity together. Although she didn't know much about the content of the event, she felt that she couldn't reach out to strangers and work with them now.
Well, let's start with the simplicity, let's start with learning the language!
She approached Ding Xiaoyan, the teacher in charge of the Edinburgh program in the Student Affairs Office, and said that she also wanted to sign up for Edinburgh Mutual Aid. She wants to learn the language, and the skills she can help others with are nursing, such as wound management, first aid, and so on.
Ding Xiaoyan was a little confused, she didn't know if anyone was willing to learn these wound treatment and first aid knowledge. However, this can be regarded as opening up a new direction for mutual aid service projects, which is worth encouraging.
"Okay, I'll sign up, if anyone is willing to learn, I hope you can help them!"
As for language selection, Ding Xiaoyan recommended several: English, French, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, and the people who can help are teachers and students, which depends on their schedule, their own level, and whether she is willing to share a time slot with others.
It seems that there are many options, but Gu Yu actually has only one time to use. It was four to six o'clock in the afternoon. For the sake of good grades, she chose English.
However, at present, foreign teachers and foreign students who can provide English help are learning Chinese one-on-one, and they are already occupied by students learning English. And students like Han Boer have also been robbed by others, and it is said that the friends are aiming for IELTS 7 and TOEFL 115 this semester.
The senior students were so busy with their graduation that no one was there to take care of Edinburgh.
In the end, Ding Xiaoyan said to her sympathetically, "English is too hot, why don't you practice French?" ”
Gu Yu frowned, she didn't object to learning anything, the problem was that she urgently needed to improve her English scores! How can her writing and speaking be worse than others!
"Don't worry!" Ding Xiaoyan got up from her seat, looking like a confidant sister. "Our new Frank, who has studied in France for many years and lived in Canada for more than ten years, is fluent in both English and French, although I personally think his English accent is weird......" At this, she stuck out her tongue, realizing that it was indeed a bit bad to talk about a new colleague like this. However, Gu Yu, if you try it, you should learn dialects. He's still no problem tutoring you! At this point, she realized that she had said the wrong thing again, and she stuck out her tongue again.
Gu Yu was helpless, and said in his heart, you can just spit bubbles.
This Teacher Ding speaks English very well, but Chinese is so disliked, what should I make up for it?
Forget it, forgiving other people's ignorance is also a virtue, just accept the weird tone for the time being!
The next day, Gu Yu began to study with Frank. What she didn't expect was that she had to share the same time period and the same teacher with Zhu Qi's family.
"Why do you want to learn French?" She asked.
Zhu Qijia rolled his eyes and said, "You can be a French girl I want to fall in love with!" ”
Gu Yu won't answer. Whenever others speak improperly, she doesn't know how to answer. She felt a little stupid.
Here comes the teacher.
A man is in his forties by looking at his face, but his short hair is full of white flowers. The glasses shook in my hand, and I don't know what they did.
"Hey, give me a boy, a girl!" He grinned with white teeth.
Gu Yu didn't think there was anything happy about this, but people were laughing, and they were really happy, so she had to laugh along.
"Then let's watch a movie! French cinema is very beautiful. After he finished speaking, he turned on the computer and pulled up the movie.
Gu Yu looked at Zhu Qi's family, and Zhu Qi's family ignored her at all. So the two of them had to watch a movie with the teacher.
Oh my God, the first lesson was to see a man who couldn't catch up with the woman no matter how much he chased him, and then kept recalling it and being sad.
Zhu Qijia couldn't hold back: "Teacher, do we always have to watch French movies?" ”
The teacher smiled and said, "It's okay to look at other languages!" ”
"But-", Zhu Qijia frowned and paused, probably thinking about how to express it so as not to hurt the volunteer's enthusiasm.
Gu Yu handed him an ammunition in a soft voice: "Zhu Qijia, do you want to ask the teacher, can we learn the language in other ways?" ”
Zhu Qijia glanced at her, probably thinking that she was still a little stupid. He turned to the teacher and said respectfully but seriously: "Teacher, let's be honest, I originally wanted to practice speaking English, but Teacher Ding from the Student Affairs Office said that your English and French are excellent, she said, you can learn from Frank, and you will be authentic!" ”
Only then did Gu Yu understand that it turned out that finding a French girl to fall in love was a helpless choice after being fooled by Teacher Ding!
Hey, this Teacher Ding's ability is quite great, why didn't she eat with the intermediary?!
"Hahaha......" Frank smiled heartily. They told me that there were children who wanted to learn European culture with me......"
"Huh?!" Zhu Qijia held his chin in surprise.
Gu Yu wanted to be happy when she looked at him, she said in her heart, it would be too wronged to let Teacher Ding mix with the agent, she could enter Pheasant University and be an admissions director or something, and maybe she could glorify her ancestors if she said it.
