Chapter 2 English Tutoring
On April 28 (Thursday), the third year (302) class of Huigong Middle School, the blackboard in the classroom read: There are still "40" days before the college entrance examination!
Before the first class in the morning, Mr. Qin, the head teacher, took the red paper list of the first full model of the college entrance examination and pasted it in front of the classroom, Wang Feipeng scored 520 points, the tenth in the class!
Since the beginning of high school, the top ten have not changed much, and now Wang Feipeng is catching up, and the students can't believe it, the former 302 class super "iron" has become a star of hope for a few months, so that the math teacher who originally scolded him for "iron" also smacked his tongue, and his friends Zheng Kejian and Zhang Xiaojie saw him as if they had seen an enemy, and the teacher asked them to take Wang Feipeng as a role model to learn, and the nickname of "iron" was also moved to their heads.
At the end of the English class in the afternoon, the English teacher Lu Wanqing came to Wang Feipeng, "You have done well in the English test this time, and you have made great progress, but your weakness is obvious, that is, listening, you come to my office in the evening, I will strengthen your listening." ”
"Okay, thank you, teacher." Wang Feipeng's face flushed and he quickly lowered his head. The eyes of the whole class were all focused on the ground, making him even more afraid to raise his head.
"Come at 7 p.m., then." As soon as the English teacher left the classroom, Zheng Kejian and Zhang Xiaojie squeezed into Wang Feipeng's seat with a "whoosh".
"Teacher Lu has taught us English for several years, and for the first time, she opened a small stove for students, and the lovelorn woman is very empty in her heart, you have to seize the opportunity to soothe her wounded heart, or I will accompany you for a while?" Zheng Kejian smiled evilly and hugged Wang Feipeng's shoulder. Zhang Xiaojie bared his teeth: "When you enter the door, you must be both soft and hard, and you must be domineering and tough, turning the real tiger into a paper tiger, I will open the door for you, you can get it as you want, and ensure that no one can harass you." ”
Wang Feipeng pushed away the two dead friends left and right and stood up, "I want to go to the two of you, I want to go to the toilet now." Ignoring the filth of the two of them, he quickly left the classroom.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Wang Feipeng came to the English teacher's office on time, Lu Wanqing was already in the office, wearing a loose coat, short hair was still a little damp, and as soon as he got close, he smelled a faint fragrance. Lu Wanqing pointed to the chair opposite the desk: "Sit down."
Lu Wanqing raised his head and looked at the big boy opposite, his height is estimated to be 190cm, his shoulders are wide and thin, his eyes are red, his nose is slightly straight, his lips are thin, he can't see it very well, but he also has clear eyebrows, clean and clean, his hair is a little messy, I heard that he is still a member of the school basketball team and football team, he lowered his head and didn't speak after entering the door, his face was slightly red, and he looked shy.
Lu Wanqing was slightly happy in her heart, this big boy didn't know whether to see the teacher shy, or to see the girl shy, thinking of the boy opposite from last summer's class to the current tenth in the class, I couldn't help but look at it differently, it can be said that it is a kind of "enlightenment" behavior of high school students, just like the "epiphany" of Buddhism, this kind of child is rare, but it is very rare, and the whole school is estimated to be this one this year. I remember that the teacher who brought me said that once this kind of child is "enlightened", the future is limitless. She really couldn't figure out why, judging from the boy opposite, he suddenly began to study hard, and his grades improved by leaps and bounds, it should be that he realized what he wanted to do and how to do it, which was very interesting to her.
Thinking of this, Lu Wanqing's mind changed: "Wang Feipeng, you have made great progress in English learning recently, tell me how you did it." ”
Wang Feipeng looked up at the teacher, and quickly lowered his head, "I have memorized all the words and texts from junior high school to high school, as well as some grammar and structure, and I am now reviewing them for the second time." ”
"Well, English is mainly about words and sentences, and it is true that it is not difficult to memorize these tests, but there is a weakness in this, listening and speaking cannot keep up. Right? “
Wang Feipeng nodded. "I want to improve my listening, and I don't have to take the speaking test, just forget it."
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, this kid was completely biased, "You are completely here to cope with the exam, won't you use English in the future?" Speaking is also a reflection of how well you learn English. ”
"Now the priority is the college entrance examination, and the speaking will be talked about later." Wang Feipeng muttered quietly.
Lu Wanqing frowned, the boy on the other side has gone astray in learning English, learning completely for the exam, which is also a common phenomenon among domestic students now, only knowing the exam, not listening or speaking, it is simply "stiff" English, so he said softly: "The most important thing in a language is to listen and speak, only in this way can you communicate, if you can't listen and speak, then what's the use of learning English?" ”
Wang Feipeng raised his head and looked at the English teacher, and lowered his head again: "It's useless to learn English~"
"You~" Lu Wanqing's eyes widened angrily, and she pointed at Wang Feipeng, "It's just a donkey!" ”
Wang Feipeng raised his head again and looked at Lu Wanqing, "Teacher Lu, don't be angry, we were all born in China, surrounded by compatriots who are learning Chinese, what is the purpose of us learning English, don't we need to speak in Chinese in the future?" Even if you have the opportunity to deal with foreigners in the future, how many people will there be? Mr. Lu, do you often communicate with foreigners? Is it necessary for us to learn English one by one? ”
Without waiting for Lu Wanqing to answer, Wang Feipeng hurriedly said: "We all start learning English from junior high school, in order to learn English well, we need to memorize a lot of words and sentences, grammar, and spend a lot of time listening and speaking, I heard that today's children start learning from elementary school, and English is not our mother tongue, and people around us do not speak English, so we can only listen to recordings, use repeaters to listen and read, take up a lot of our valuable learning time, at least a quarter, and how many people use English after graduating from college?" Why not save all this precious study time to learn useful scientific knowledge such as physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, etc.? ”
"It's not that English is useless as you say, now English is commonly used in the world, how can you do a good job in reform and opening up if you don't learn English well, and how can the country's economy develop?"
"I think this is a one-sided idea, and people in need should be allowed to learn English well, such as diplomats, instead of popularizing English, and students should learn useful knowledge in prime time, and English only needs to learn some basic knowledge."
"You're a rat-eyed man, and it's useless to speak English like that? The country spends so much, and you say that universal English education is useless, can't they see that you are better than them? Lu Wanqing was even more angry, and she felt that her breathing was short.
"Teacher Lu, I'm just talking about things, don't be angry. A few people in my village who went to school and my relatives who graduated from college said that it took them a lot of time to learn English, and now they have returned it to the teacher, and they don't use it at all. Moreover, when I saw the United Nations General Assembly on TV, I used simultaneous translation, and foreigners can translate English into Chinese immediately, and I really want to communicate with foreigners in the future, which is not bad. ”
Lu Wanqing was speechless, she really couldn't see that the boy on the other side who didn't like to talk, one after another, as if she had poured a basin of cold water on her, she was useless as an English teacher, just to waste their precious study time? Lu Wanqing couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.
Wang Feipeng instantly lowered his head again, and said nervously: "It's all like this now, there is no way to take the exam, I can only learn hard, Mr. Lu, do you still teach me listening?" ”
Lu Wanqing bit her lip, "I don't care about you, you will understand the importance of English when you grow up in the future, start now, I say you listen." ”
Two and a half hours later, Wang Feipeng left the English teacher's office with a groggy head, and was supposed to review the second stroke of high mathematics tonight, but the plan was all disrupted~
