Chapter 5: Scolding
The weather in September can be up and down. It's like people's mood, sometimes happy and sometimes annoying.
Today's weather is gloomy, and at a glance, gray clouds in the sky are sweeping in large areas, almost within reach. The crisp crash of raindrops followed, followed by the sound of jade beads shattering.
Early in the morning, when I came to the class, I saw Teacher Wang chatting with a female teacher with a lesson plan, although I was curious, but I didn't think much about it. After all, the teachers at school often chat together.
After saying hello to the two teachers, I hurried back to my seat.
At this moment, Eiko's voice came from the side: "No, it's our new English teacher who is chatting with Teacher Wang!" I've heard she's very strict. ”
"Really?" I was a little surprised. At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the new English teacher carefully.
The English teacher was tall, with a pair of sharp eyes under her short black and shiny hair, and there seemed to be a substantial beam of light reflected from them between the opening and closing of the eyes. Dressed in black professional attire, he looks like a math teacher. Unlike Mr. Wang's seriousness, the new English teacher seems to be really strict.
Seeing that everyone was here, Teacher Wang clapped his hands and said, "Everyone be quiet for a while, I will announce one thing, this one standing on my left is your new English teacher." Let's listen to her introduce herself. Everyone applauded. ”
The class burst into thunderous applause. The students were still very curious about this new English teacher, because this teacher taught the legendary subject - English! About a third of the class had never been exposed to it, including me. Everyone is in awe of the English language, after all, the Chinese language has been exposed since childhood. English, on the other hand, is another language, a language that has come from far away.
The English teacher walked up to the podium and made a virtual gesture with both hands. The applause that followed came to an abrupt end.
"Hello students, I will be your English teacher in the future, my name is Zhao Liuyun, and you will call me Teacher Zhao in the future. Ugly words ahead, I have very strict requirements for you, if there is something that dissatisfies me, don't blame me for punishing you, it's all for your good! The English teacher stood on the podium and said solemnly. At the same time, he nodded to Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang also smiled back at Teacher Zhao, then turned to us and smiled: "Teacher Zhao's teaching style is unique, and the students she teaches are very good. I hope that the students will work hard, and even I can't help you if you are punished by her! After speaking, Mr. Wang strode in the direction of the office without waiting for us to reply.
"Alright, everyone take out the books, we're going to give a lecture." Teacher Zhao opened the textbook in his hand as he spoke.
The students immediately took out the English books and waited quietly for the teacher's next explanation. It was in this context that my first English class began.
Mr. Zhao's lecture ideas are very clear, interlocking, and focused. Listening to her lecture is a pleasure to the eye. The only fly in the ointment was that the pace was a little faster, which was a big challenge for me who had never learned English before.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp gaze on me from the podium, and I felt a chill all over my body, as if I was being targeted by a wild beast, and I did not dare to move.
"Yunfei, stand up and answer this question!" Teacher Zhao looked into my eyes and said.
It's over, it's over! My mood instantly lit up. Because I didn't understand much of what Mr. Zhao said, I was still hesitating to let the teacher talk about it again, but before I could ask it, Mr. Zhao called me up to answer the question.
The answer is definitely not answered, but I am naturally reluctant to say "I won't!" Those three words. Under the electric thought, the horse clutched his stomach and said in pain: "Teacher, I have a stomachache and want to go to the toilet." ”
Mr. Zhao, how could people in the city government be deceived by my clumsy acting skills?
"Let's go after answering this question!" Teacher Zhao said expressionlessly.
The sweat on my forehead flowed down with a sound, and I said with difficulty: "Teacher, I can't hold it back!" ”
"Hahahahaha!" There was a loud laugh from the students.
"Quiet!" Teacher Zhao shouted loudly, and the class was silent for a while, and everyone was silent one by one, lowering their heads and not daring to make a sound.
"Even if you pull your pants today, you have to finish this question first." Teacher Zhao stared at me seriously and said.
In the face of Mr. Zhao's aggressive tone, I was stunned, looking a little at a loss.
At this moment, Eiko next to me suddenly touched me with her elbow, and then whispered something to me.
At that time, I was like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw in despair! The thirst for life was rekindled.
The answer to this question is...... I said it out loud, word for word. At the same time, she glanced at Eiko gratefully, and Eiko shook her head and signaled that she didn't need to thank her.
However, what happened next changed my perception a bit. Teacher Zhao didn't look at me, but looked at Eiko and said, "Am I asking you?" Who told you to give him the answer? Don't sit in this class, go to the door and stand! ”
In an instant, I saw Eiko's face turn pale sharply, and bean-sized tears lingered in the corners of her eyes. For some reason, my heart was inexplicably tingling, this was the first time she had been scolded by the teacher in front of the whole class, right? After all, she's so good, and she's in what she does best.
I looked at Mr. Zhao in disbelief, but of course Mr. Zhao didn't let me go. "Why don't you go and stand at the door, sleepwalking in my class? You can't answer such a simple question! ”
Being scolded in front of the public, this is also the first time I have experienced it. My legs were a little weak, and I felt like I was looking for a crack in my back to get into.
The short distance of about 10 meters from the seat to the entrance of the class felt like the longest road I had ever walked on my way to school.
Looking at the gloomy weather outside, my mood couldn't help but fall to the bottom.
"I'm sorry, I'm the one who bothered you!" Outside the door, I looked at Eiko and said with a guilty face. I do blame myself for this.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, besides, even if you do it all over again, I'll still help you!" Eiko had regained her composure at the moment, but her eyes were still a little red.
After staring at her for a long time, I said seriously, "Thank you!" ”
"Don't thank me, we're at the same table!" Eiko smiled absently.
I shuddered, and suddenly I felt something shining out of the corner of my eye......
