"Teacher, can you still participate in the English contest you said in the morning?" Worried that the quota had already been given to you by someone else, Gu Yan directly said his thoughts.

The corners of the English teacher's mouth couldn't help but smile slightly at first, but quickly controlled her emotions and said, "What, you want to participate?" ”

"Uh-huh......" Like a chicken pecking rice, Gu Yan nodded wildly.

The English teacher said: "There are still places, but the time is a bit tight, and we will leave next Wednesday, and there are many things to prepare, so I don't know if you can do it." ”

"Yes." Gu Yan didn't hesitate and said this.

"Good!"

Then the teacher picked up a heavy document from the desk, and then handed it to Gu Yan: "This is the requirement of the competition, and some materials prepared, you go back and take a good look, I will accept the results tomorrow, and then decide if you can participate in the competition." ”

Gu Yan took the information, turned around and left the office.

But what Gu Yan didn't know was that not long after he left, the English teacher took out a form from the drawer, and then wrote Gu Yan's name, and the title of the form was "English Competition Registration Form." ”

The English teacher was planning to find Gu Yan later, do ideological work, and persuade Gu Yan to participate in the competition, but she never expected that Gu Yan would take the initiative to deliver the goods to the door by herself, and this time, it saved a lot of trouble.

This place is because the girls who originally participated in the competition in the key class suddenly fell ill, so they fell into the ordinary class, and in just one week, they have to be familiar with the information that others can only get familiar with for a month, and Gu Yan is the best candidate.

At noon, she told the leader of the English class about Gu Yan's reluctance to participate in the English competition, and the team leader said earnestly: "If you do Gu Yan's ideological work well, there is not much time left before the competition, and only Gu Yan's excellent English ability can be competent." ”

In fact, when selecting the contestants at the beginning, most of the English teachers felt that Gu Yan, who was the first in the grade, was the best candidate, but at that time, the school considered that such an opportunity should be given to students who had excellent scores in all subjects in the college entrance examination, so they chose to select people from key classes first.

When he returned home, Gu Yan buried the English materials he got back.

From the information, Gu Yan learned that this English competition is not a simple written test, but also includes random situational communication dialogues, and the final award is based on comprehensive scores.

The oral test is worth 60 percent.

In the materials, the English teacher also prepared a memorization material for him, which said that Gu Yan's recitation would be checked the next morning.

Looking at this line of small characters, Gu Yan knew that even if he didn't take the initiative to find the teacher, the teacher would come to do his ideological work and persuade him to participate in the English competition, and he had to convince Gu Yan, otherwise it would be impossible to write Gu Yan's name on the information in advance.

I knew that I was still too anxious when the teacher took the initiative to find it, Gu Yan thought in his heart.

Just as Gu Yan was reciting the English materials, Fang Xiaohan came back with Gu Ziqi.

"Did we go to the wrong room, this is my brother?" As soon as she pushed the door open, Gu Ziqi saw Gu Yan holding English materials and reciting words.

"He's studying?" Fang Xiaohan also had a surprised expression.

Gu Yan: "......"

Gu Ziqi walked over and sat on the sofa not far from Gu Yan's position, but Gu Yan was so focused that he ignored him.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

didn't get a response from Gu Yan.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Gu Ziqi deliberately increased the volume.

Gu Yan took out the earplugs stuffed in his ears and looked at Gu Ziqi: "You're back." ”

Listening to the tone, it seems that he just found out that Gu Ziqi and Fang Xiaohan are back, I am afraid that they are thieves and have ransacked the house, and Gu Yan, who is wearing earplugs, will not notice it at all.

"What are you doing?" Gu Ziqi repeated the question for the third time.

"I'm memorizing the materials of the English contest." When Gu Yan answered, his eyes were still looking at the English materials in his hand, and he looked extremely focused.

Fang Xiaohan glanced at the English materials that Gu Yan casually put on the table, it was very thick, and said, "There are so many materials, no matter how you say it, it will take half a month to digest it." ”

"They only gave me less than a week." Gu Yan said.

Gu Ziqi directly picked up the information on the table, flipped through it, and said, "One week is almost enough, not too difficult." ”

Fang Xiaohan saw Gu Yan nodding and agreed with Gu Ziqi's statement.

"You two brothers and sisters, what an amazing talent for language." Fang Xiaohan sighed.

Glancing at the heavy English materials on the table again, she thought that if she was allowed to digest it, it would take at least half a month, and with her English scores, she was already excellent in school.

The next morning, Gu Yan took the initiative to come to the office after the morning reading.

"Have you memorized the essay you gave you yesterday?" The English teacher saw Gu Yan who walked in.

After Gu Yan nodded in response, the English teacher asked Gu Yan to start reciting.

The melodious pronunciation of English words floated into the English teacher's mind, crisp and standard, it was not a short story, but she had just said it wrong, it was a long story.

When Gu Yan was reciting, the English teacher took out the same content as the English article that Gu Yan had recited.

After careful comparison, I found that Gu Yan memorized clearly and thoroughly, and did not deliberately omit some single words, and completed her task with high quality.

When Gu Yan finished reciting and stopped, he saw the English teacher who was stunned in front of him.

The English teacher felt that Gu Yan's performance was really surprising, she would take at least 2 days to digest and recite such an article, but Gu Yan did it in one night.

I'm afraid this level of English is equivalent to my mother tongue, the English teacher thought to herself.

"You had an all-nighter last night?" While asking, the English teacher looked at Gu Yan's eyes and found no dark circles.

Gu Yan recalled the time of reciting last night a little, and said, "No, I memorized it for two hours after I went home, so it's okay." ”

"It's too devastating." The English teacher muttered quietly, in a voice that Gu Yan couldn't hear.

"Okay, okay, you go back and prepare according to the materials, if you don't understand anything, please come and ask me at any time, and I will take you to the game next week." The English teacher felt that Gu Yan would not have a problem in English.

"Teacher, are we going with the students in the math competition?" Gu Yan didn't leave in a hurry, but asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Yes, I went with them." The English teacher didn't know the importance of this question to Gu Yan, so she just answered it casually.

Then, Gu Yan left the classroom.

"This is the one in your class who came first in English, right?" When they saw Gu Yan walking out of the office, other teachers asked.

"That's right." The English teacher nodded.

"He really memorized the English article just now? The girl who was going to participate in the competition before took three days to memorize it, and the effect of reciting it was not as fluent as his. An English teacher sitting not far away sighed.

"He's so strong, why is he still in the ordinary class?" One of the teachers asked.

"You don't know him, the polarization is too great? I took the first grade in English, but I was the last in mathematics. ”

“……”

Gu Yan, who had already left the office, didn't know that he was now the object of discussion among the teachers.

Back in the classroom, Gu Yan changed the previous style of sleeping on the table during recess, and took out the materials to get familiar with it.

This is a high-standard English competition, national, so it is necessary to go to other places, not just the provincial level as Chen Yizhi said before.

"Brother Gu, are you, the prodigal son turned back?" This is the first time Chen Yizhi has seen Gu Yan so serious between classes.

"Would you like to help me?" Gu Yan didn't turn his head to look at Chen Yizhi, his eyes were always on the English article on the table.

Chen Yizhi nodded very cheerfully at first.

"You can help me translate this article." Gu Yan put a piece of paper in front of Chen Yizhi from the heavy information.

"Don't, don't, I can't do this, you better do it yourself." As soon as he heard that it was English, Chen Yizhi hurriedly returned it without looking at it.

Gu Yan was going to participate in the English competition, and the head teacher soon found out, so Gu Yan was called to the office.

"Gu Yan, I heard that you are going to participate in this national English competition." The head teacher's tone was very friendly, and he also asked Gu Yan to sit down next to him.

Gu Yan nodded, but did not speak.

"It's only a week, are you in time?"

"Do you need some additional support?"

“……”

What Gu Yan didn't expect was followed by the class teacher's consistent concern.

Gu Yan had no choice but to respond, and the sudden care of the head teacher made him a little panicked, just when Gu Yan was about to walk out of the office door.

"Gu Yan, if you have any difficulties in the competition, come to the teacher at any time."

After leaving the office, Gu Yan felt very strange, it was okay for the English teacher to care about herself, after all, this was her subject, but why did the head teacher care about him so much.

At this time, in the office.

"The one who just walked out is the only Gu Yan in the ordinary class who represents the school to participate in the competition, right?" The other teachers in the office asked.

Gu Yan's homeroom teacher smiled and nodded: "This is just a temporary place for this child, the pressure is too great, and he will come to me to talk to him as soon as school is over." ”

"When this kid wins the award, there is no one outstanding class teacher at the end of the year, and there are students in your class participating in the competition, which really makes us envious."

"Yes, he's the only one in the ordinary class."

“……”

Listening to these words of praise, head teacher Gu Yan was calm on the surface, but his heart was already happy.
