Chapter 750 Construction Site English and Physical Education Mathematics for Supermarket Workers
Many, many times, yes, many, many times,
The gap in reality is caused by your own gap.
You can naturally go to Tiannan and Haibei from famous universities, but you may not be able to walk out of this mountain if you don't know a word.
Money, status, connections, prestige, power, knowledge, family, friends, and countless other things constitute the confidence that supports you to live in this world and determines the height you stand at.
What was London for Fang Ran before?
Probably Big Ben, the streets of England, St Paul's Abbey and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the British Museum, the Lanthal Mansion in the City that he regarded as a 'trap', and a stage for his world debut and A-class battles at night.
But after arriving at this kind of city in person, I found that it was for me.
It's the pound, it's the supermarket, it's the street that's only a few blocks away, it's the remote rooftop where you briefly settle in the unknown.
It was a huge labyrinth of streets filled with all kinds of English, and people spoke languages he barely understood.
At night on the rooftop with a blanket, Fang Ran looked at London in the distance, in the simulation scene, he could easily pass through a distance of thousands of meters, rush to a height of nearly 10,000 meters, one building after another fell in the aftermath of the battle between them, and the whole city was their battlefield.
But it now takes him more than an hour to walk from where he sleeps to the supermarket.
London suddenly became bigger.
“... do you have Hmm... membership card? ...”
"Three, four, five, eight, one, two, three, four, sixteen, eighteen... Altogether, not to The total is.... Well... That one... nineteen pounds and eighty pence...”
“... have twenty pounds from you...”
"Looking for you two... Ahem, twenty pence... is your change,here you are.”
At the exit of the supermarket in Stratford, next to the cash register, he scanned the barcode of the product in his hand, and his fingers quickly knocked out a bunch of numbers to add, and the opposite of the action of quickly tearing off the receipt receipt was a slightly jerky spoken language on his mouth.
Fang Ran quickly put the salmon, pork, beef, and various vegetables bought by a lady in front of him into a bag and handed her the change.
London time, 5:30pm.
It was the time when most people got off work, and it was also the time when there were the most people in this supermarket, and at this moment, Fang Ran and Tang Bing were back to back, dealing with the long queue of customers waiting to check out.
“Oh,Competent boy.”
didn't wait much time for the service, so that a blonde housewife in front of her was quite surprised to exclaim, and then left with the bag satisfied,
But to be honest, politeness responds with a smile
Actually, I didn't understand what she said.
In the afternoon, when I was fine, I had learned how to settle accounts for customers from Tang Bing, as well as some simple cashier terms, and Fang Ran, who officially started to 'work', unexpectedly found that dealing with people was not as difficult as he imagined.
The main thing is that he found that in London, England, the spoken language spoken by foreigners is also some simple sentence patterns and basic words of middle and high school, which is not as complex and complex as his cute and charming Level 4 English.
Of course, when the other party speaks too fast and has words beyond the junior high school level, he should not understand or not...
However, this is not important!
In line with the in-depth implementation of Tang Bing's rolling eyes in the afternoon and teaching him the principle of 'what do you manage others, the account will be over', Fang Ran felt that he was in a half-hour part-time job,
Are you already very proficient in using 'Do you have a membership card?' ', 'how much is the total amount of money', 'how much do you collect', 'how much do you want', 'how much do you want' and other big sentences,
I felt the rapid growth of myself in an English-only environment.
Is this the impact of the environment?
"Am I actually very talented in English...?"
"Senior, don't you dream! Just what is it about your construction site English that can give you such an illusion! ”
Then when Fang Ran was in a daze and muttered this sentence, he was immediately complained by Tang Bing behind him with a frightened face, and then he was so busy that he lost his body... Bah! Distracted Speaker:
"Is it okay to speed up the time to talk in your sleep, there will be more and more people in a while!"
"But I seem to be faster than you."
“What!!! ∑(((?? Д?? ノ)ノ!? ”
Supermarket cashier is actually a very simple job, the main thing is to be quick and accurate in calculating money, after spending more than ten minutes to get used to it, Fang Ran soon found that he seemed to be quite good at it.
Hawkers,After all, the simple math of accounting and valuation is something that was before high school.,I'm pretty good at what I learned before high school.,Not to mention it's more than enough to deal with the reflexes of the participants.。
Then Fang Ran slowly discovered on the way...
The British are really bad at math (covering their faces and laughing and crying).
After a lady in her thirties bought something for 17 pounds and 47 pence, she took the 2 pounds and 53 pence that Fang Ran found for him, and counted it for about half a minute.
Fang Ran, who was busy next to her, doubted life with straight eyes, and when he thought that he had miscalculated, he finally nodded and left in conviction.
And then when he saw the fraction of 10P, 20P, and 1 pound, he completely subconsciously tried to use his English with pickles, and stumbled to say 'Do you just hava fraction, so I can find you to make a whole'.
Often more than half of the people will be stunned, and then ask in a very confused tone:
“ha? Why? ”
To be honest, when he first heard this Why, Fang Ran was speechless and doubted whether their elementary school math was taught by the physical education teacher.
It turns out that the school girl didn't even black British math before (Khan)...
In fact, as Fang Ran can see, in addition to sitting at work, supermarket cashiers in the UK are often very stubborn to find you a lot of coins, and you can't see the principle of finding money in Huaxia where even the aunt of roadside egg scones is used to.
Maybe it's because the language can't be as concise and concise as Chinese, there has never been such a thing as Xiao Jiujiu before, and the mathematics of ordinary people in Britain is really poor, regardless of whether the widely circulated former Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Education really can't answer questions like 9×8 and 11×12,
However, it has been reported that the UK loses more than £20 billion a year, or an estimated 1.3% of GDP, due to a lack of mathematical skills, and even in the most conservative way, the loss is still as high as £6.7 billion, or 0.4% of GDP.
But what is amazing is that the highest award in mathematics, the Fields Medal, has been won by 7 people in the United Kingdom, second only to France and the United States, and the Nobel Prize in Science has been won by 69 people in the United Kingdom, ranking second in the world.
But don't talk about these haves and don'ts, when the supermarket is the most crowded during this off-duty period, maybe it's because the accounts are fast and won't be found a lot of coins.
Fang Ran looked at him and Tang Bing's cashier always lined up in a fixed length, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, finally understanding why Tang Bing said before that he was willing to recruit Huaxia students to work here.
щ(°Д°#щ) The eldest sister of his meow is just your slow speed, let us in the country, you will be unemployed early, will you make it!
I don't know if it's [double card] used too much, while the cashier is settling the accounts, there is still a mind to complain, and it is the practice to tear off the receipt receipt, and when I was about to put everything into the bag,
The woman in front of her suddenly screamed angrily, stopping Fang Ran's movements, and pointing at the salmon, vegetables, fruits, and bread jam she bought.
Ti Lu said something that Fang Ran didn't understand very well.
Fang Ran: "(?? ~??; )En.....”
Glancing at this stinky and beautiful old woman, Fang Ran Baobao groaned for a second, and then recalled the last thing that his careful junior emphasized to him before the start of his part-time job.
"Ah, that's right, senior, ordinary customers won't say anything to you, if there is an accident that meets a picky guest, don't use your construction site English to speak!" ’
#) Hmph~ (pinching the waist and not being happy.jpg)
Elbowed the senior sister behind him, Fang Ran rolled his eyes quietly and said:
"Hey, senior sister, senior sister, change sides, this idea is a bit tricky."
It was because Fang Ran, who had been working here for a month and had not even started the first day of construction site English, was deeply affected by the high efficiency of his English, so Tang Bing, who was concentrating, was stunned when he heard this, and made a dazed voice.
“ha!?”
"Quick! Hurry up, I'm going to put my salmon and beef in separate bags, and then the vegetables and bananas will also be separated from the others...."
"Ahhh
Then when the old woman who asked a lot was arguing for various demands again, and hurriedly stepped forward to deal with it, Tang Bing heard Fang Ran, who had already changed to his side, and was still faster than himself, and cheered him in a low voice.
"Come on! Schoolgirl! Give her a color see see! ”
God meow her a color see see!
Senior, is your construction site English in bulk!?
