Chapter 11 Teaching
It is said that Li Guangzhi has lived for more than 30 years in his last life, and in addition to being asked for a phone call by Miss and his mother Sang in KTV, he has never been accosted by a young girl.
Therefore, now he looked at the girl in front of him who was seriously bent over and bowing, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Gao Dali on the side came up at this time and said, "Brother Guangzhi, what did this girl ask you to do just now?" Hey, don't care what you're doing first, the little girl is still bending over and poking there, you hurry up and let the family get up first. ”
For the first time, Li Guangzhi felt that Gao Dali's words were so reasonable. He raised his hands a few times and said to the girl, "This classmate, you make me very embarrassed by this appearance, you better get up and speak first." ”
However, the girl was still bent over, stubbornly motionless. It means that if you don't agree, I won't get up.
Li Guangzhi scratched his head in embarrassment, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Speaking of which, he actually really wanted to agree to the girl's request. After all, a soft girl who looks so bad for the country and the people begs you to be her tutor, and what man would want to refuse? Even if you can't take it seriously, it's great to be able to watch it every day.
But the problem is that he now has to move bricks in the factory throughout the day, and in the future, in order to earn more money, it is estimated that he will work overtime at night. Where did he get the time to tutor this girl in English? It's not like telling him to earn two hours less a day, and then spend that time on this girl. Li Guangzhi would never do this kind of heartless thing.
In his opinion, he can only look at the beauty between the eyes and the money he earns, of course, the latter is more important!
He said to the girl with some embarrassment: "That, although it is a bit disappointing to your sincerity, I really don't have time to give you English tutoring." So, all I can say is sorry! ”
Hearing this, the girl slowly straightened her waist. Her face was full of lost expressions, and she said to Li Guangzhi in a low tone:
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work? I got it, thank you for your reply. ”
After speaking, the girl saluted Li Guangzhi and the two respectively: "I'm sorry to disturb you two, I'll leave first." Then he walked back with his schoolbag gloomily.
There is a good saying: a woman's beauty is not only lethal to men, but also the driving force for men's evolution.
Li Guangzhi, who was hit by the pitiful demeanor of the girl, was spinning rapidly in his mind as if the CPU had been overclocked, and finally he thought of a solution in a hurry.
"Hey, wait a minute!" He hurriedly stopped the girl who was walking back. When the girl turned around in some confusion, he walked two steps in front of her and said:
"Well, if you really want me to teach your English, there is actually another way, and it will be a little hard."
"Really? No matter how hard it is, I will definitely be able to do it! Please let me know! The girl was overjoyed, and a smile like a flower bloomed on her face.
Li Guangzhi looked at the smile on the girl's face, and his mood was also a lot happier. He smiled and said:
"I leave my home at 7 a.m. every morning to work. If you can wake up at 5 a.m., we'll have two hours to study. ”
He winked at the girl, and said, "The place to study is in that little sand dune." I think the way you stand on it and speak English is still very imposing. ”
Hearing Li Guangzhi's last words with some jokes, the girl's snow-white melon seed face was flushed, and her eyes were fluttering, but there was a hint of resentment in her shyness. It was expected that he was blaming Li Guangzhi in his heart for not mentioning that embarrassing encounter again.
Li Guangzhi was shaken by the girl's eyes, and he screamed in his heart that he couldn't bear it. He made up his mind and said to the girl:
"If you think it's possible, then it's decided?"
"Hey! I'll definitely be on time. The girl replied loudly in good spirits, and then said very respectfully, "You can agree to such a willful request from me, and you have to get up early for me, so I really don't know how to thank you!" ”
Li Guangzhi waved his hand at her, indicating that he didn't care. He looked at the sky and said to the maiden:
"It's not too early, I think it's going to be like this today. See you tomorrow morning in the little dunes. ”
He paused, then added, "Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Guangzhi, Japanese-Chinese, what do you call my classmates? ”
The girl let out a surprised "ah", as if she had made a big mistake, she bowed to Li Guangzhi in a panic and said:
"It's rude to forget to introduce yourself to you! I'm Masami Akiyama, a sophomore at Itabashi No. 1 High School, so please take care of me when we meet for the first time. ”
Li Guangzhi really can't stand the Japanese habit of bowing when they have nothing to do. He relied on the fact that he had already said that he was Chinese, so he didn't bother to bow in return. just waved his hand casually, signaling that the girl didn't have to mind this kind of subsection. Then he said "sa yo lala", and pulled Gao Dali, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, and walked home
Early the next morning, Li Guangzhi woke up at half past four. He got out of bed and opened the curtains to look outside, the sky outside the window had already slightly appeared white, but the morning glow had not yet come out, and the sky was still only cloudy.
After all, it was already the late autumn season, and the day was getting later and late.
Speaking of which, Li Guangzhi's enthusiasm for being an English teacher for a beautiful girl in high school is actually quite high. Last night, he deliberately went to bed before 12 o'clock, just so that he could get up in time for the morning. His endurance golden finger, which only needed to sleep four hours a day, finally came in handy this time.
After washing up and changing clothes, he grabbed a long strip of French bread from the kitchen and went out the door with a dry chew.
By the time he reached the small sand dunes in the neighborhood, the time was five minutes and five o'clock. However, Masami Akiyama was already waiting there.
Today is Saturday, and instead of wearing her usual school uniform, the girl has changed into a daily outfit. Probably because the temperature was a little low in the morning, the girl wore an off-white long chunky sweater on top and a pair of dark straight-leg jeans underneath. The long hair of the shawl on weekdays was tied in two bunches on his chest at this time, making a small face of melon seeds more and more snow-white and exquisite.
Seeing Li Guangzhi's figure appear in the open space in front of the dunes, the girl also came up with something to greet her. Li Guangzhi paid attention to it, in addition to holding a few books and manuscripts on her chest in her left hand, the girl was also carrying a small blue cloth package with broken flowers in her right hand.
The two met in front of the sand dune, and the girl bowed respectfully and greeted, "Good morning Li Sang!" ”
Li Guangzhi also bent down slightly to return the salute, and at the same time said with some hesitation: "Good morning, Akiyama Masami." ”
In his previous life, Li Guangzhi had never dealt with the Japanese, and in the memory of this life, most of the people he dealt with were low-level people like gang members. How to address each other when formally socializing, Li Guangzhi is very inexperienced.
He originally thought that it seemed a bit silly to call a classmate with a surname and a surname, but he wasn't sure how to call it so that it wouldn't be rude. He hesitated for a moment when he spoke, but finally chose the name of his classmate.
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Li Sang will call me Ya Mei Mei in the future, and it feels strange to be called a classmate or something by Li Sang." ”
Li Guangzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best." By the way, Yami, don't call me Li Sang, just call Brother Guangzhi. ”
"Hey!" Masami replied loudly and lively, and at the same time handed over the small package she was carrying.
"Brother Hiroshi, this is the sushi I make at home. If you don't mind, please make it for breakfast. ”
"Ah, you made me breakfast? What a bother. But I've just finished eating bread, so I'll save this for after the lecture. ”
Li Guangzhi and Yami found a bench under the street lamp and sat down, and Yami handed him the manuscript in his hand and said:
"Brother Guangzhi, this is the speech I prepared for this competition, please help me read it first."
Li Guangzhi took the manuscript, and after a quick glance, he pondered for a while and said, "Yami, let me ask first, what level of speech contest are you participating in this time?" Is it intra-school, or inter-school? ”
It is an English speech contest jointly organized by Tokyo Metropolitan High Schools, and the winners are said to be able to receive exemptions from admission to Tokyo University and Waseda. I'd love to go to Todai, but my other subjects have deviations below 60, so at the end, Masami muttered a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, it's a good ideal to want to enter the University of Tokyo, what's so embarrassing." Li Guangzhi smiled and comforted.
"However, since this level of competition is a competition, the quality of your manuscript may not be enough. Even if you practice your speaking to a standard level, and the content of your speech is not good, it will be difficult to get the judges' approval. ”
He saw that after Masami heard this, there was a bewildered expression on his face, so he couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and comforted:
"Don't worry. In this case, I will leave the manuscript questions for the time being, and I will help you think about it when I have time. Today, let's solve your oral pronunciation problem first. ”
Li Guangzhi randomly picked five or six words from the manuscript and asked Yami to read them out loud, and what made him frown was that almost none of Yami's pronunciation was standard.
"Masami, have you learned phonetic transcription before?"
"Phonetic transcription? I think I learned it, but I don't even think I remember. Masami stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"You don't remember the phonetic transcription, so how did you phonetize the words?"
"In a pseudonym!" Masami replied confidently.
Li Guangzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes, he finally understood why the Japanese spoke English so strangely, it turned out that the root was here.
Using the kana in the Japanese 50-syllable chart to phonetize English words is like the "good belly oil belly" and "three grams of oil" commonly used by Chinese junior high school students.
He looked at the ignorant Maami helplessly, and sighed: "Yami, when did your game start?" ”
"The preliminary round is at the beginning of December and the final is just before Christmas. What's wrong, Brother Hiroshi? ”
"It's nothing, you can start memorizing the phonetic transcription from today!"
