In December, winter is in full swing, but winter in the south is not as good as in the north, and snow begins early. The early winter in the south is more like a cold and bleak autumn, except for the biting cold wind blowing people's faces painfully, and the original green leaves of the trees show their vigorous branches, the winter scene is not much different from the autumn.

When the third monthly exam came, Su Wen entered the fourth examination room early with a cold air rolled up from the outside, but fortunately, the air conditioner was turned on in the classroom, and the gentle warmth extended to the corners of the girl's cold clothes with its soft tentacles, softening the cold little by little, dissolving it in the warm air.

Between the cold and the heat, the girl couldn't help but snort. The cold on his body gradually dissipated, but his fingers, which were red from the cold, did not move in a long reflex arc. Su Wen clenched his fists and rested them on his lips, and his red fingers were hot.

Sitting in the examination room and enjoying the air conditioning in the room, Su Wen felt extremely happy. Originally, in the school in his small county, where did Su Wen enjoy such treatment as air conditioning? Wrapping up in winter clothes to keep out the cold, rubbing hands and stomping feet are the best means for most students in small counties to resist the cold. On the campus of a small county town, stomping their feet in the classroom in the cold wind in the winter and looking like wilted flowers in the summer under the hot wind blowing by the rotating fan, these moments of gritting their teeth and persevering have long become enduring habits for girls.

The warmth of the room contrasts sharply with the cold wind outside, and the carbon dioxide concentration rises under the warm air conditioning, and the closed glass windows are filled with misty water vapor. Su Wen sat in the last set of window seats away from the classroom door, and through the mist-shrouded glass window, he could see the scenery on the basketball court through the tall plane tree planted in front of the school building.

The classrooms of all first-year students are on the fourth floor of the teaching building, and a row of plane trees is planted at the back of the teaching building, like guards guarding the teaching building. The tall plane tree is less than three stories tall in the school building, and when you look down from the fourth floor where the freshman students are located, you can see the top of the plane tree. In autumn, the golden leaves of the sycamore shone in the sun, and in winter, the sycamore tree loses its leaves and becomes bare. The trunks of the dead trees are vigorous and powerful, like old but strong old men.

Early in the morning, the campus was shrouded in the biting cold of the early morning and winter, and through the misty glass window, Su Wen could vaguely see the boys playing on the basketball court. Su Wen guessed that it was a sports student of the school's basketball team, and although the sports student did not need to score too much cultural score in the college entrance examination, he practiced extremely weekdays. Su Wen came to the teaching building early every day, and he could always see the sports students training the basketball court. When the girls saw their sweaty appearance, they were always excited. No matter how hard you study, grit your teeth and persevere.

Su Wen's academic performance is stable in the top 100 of his grade, and the ranking is not ideal, but Su Wen asks himself that he has done his best for his academic performance. The weakness of science in girls is becoming more and more obvious with the acceleration of the course progress, and it turns out that learning this kind of thing most of the time depends on talent, and when trying to break through their own limits but still can't break through, Su Wen admits the fact that his talent is not as good as others.

Or maybe their talent is actually elsewhere, Chinese and English can be said to be the strong points of girls, and they often rank high in two subjects every time. Like Su Wen, who has been in the top dozens of the class for a long time in the second top class of Bode Middle School, the head teacher who teaches mathematics has never had time to take care of it, and even only when the physics score is extremely poor attracts the attention of the physics teacher, Su Wen has always been the smallest existence in the class full of talents. Only the slightly top-notch Chinese and English scores impressed the two subject teachers.

Chinese and English scores are the only two subjects that Su Wen can show some of his presence in the class, but Su Wen can't escape the fact that he is a nerd. No matter how good the pen is, it doesn't help if the practical ability is not as good as others. Su Wen's lame English pronunciation finally made her lose face in the class. After winning the first place in the class in the first monthly exam, Su Wen successfully attracted the attention of the English teacher, but this attention made Su Wen eager to find a crack in the ground.

In one class, the English teacher asked kindly, "Who is Su Wen?" ”

Su Wen stood up with a pounding heart and glanced timidly at the English teacher. The English teacher glanced at Su Wen with her appreciative gaze, and said appreciatively: "Su Wen, you did well in this exam, I hope you will continue to maintain it next time!" ”

The English teacher gestured for Su Wen to sit down, but Su Wen was inexplicably empty-hearted, she didn't dare to look at the English teacher's attention from time to time when she explained the English test papers, but she sat on the seat like pins and needles, fidgeting all the time.

At that time, Su Wen was puzzled by his strange thoughts, and in elementary school and even junior high school, Su Wen's academic performance in the top of the small county town has always been greatly concerned and rewarded by teachers of various subjects. In junior high school, Su Wen's academic performance ranked first in the grade, and he received even more attention, but in this case, girls went their own way, and they were silent when they were silent, and they were free from the group when they were out of the group. At that time, she didn't care about the eyes of others at all, whether it was a look of appreciation or jealousy, the girls accepted them one by one quietly. Why is it that in the big city, Su Wen can't bear the teacher's appreciation and attention?

Perhaps Su Wen was hit by his all-time low "58" score in physics, and even if he got the first place in English in his class, Su Wen still felt that the glory was like a mirage, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

However, the glorious result of the first place in English in the top class did not disappear like a mirage, and in an English class after the first monthly exam, the English teacher still looked at the first English girl in the class with her appreciative eyes, and suddenly asked the girl to get up and read aloud a text explained in class.

Su Wen's eyes widened and he looked hesitantly into the smiling eyes of the English teacher. Caught off guard, after experiencing the embarrassment of being silent for a few seconds, Su Wen opened his lips tremblingly. His heart was pounding with nervousness, and Su Wen read it in his broken English. The first long sentence of the English text was read stumblingly, and the long sentence was not finished, and the class had already burst into laughter one after another, among which Deng Jiaming at the front table laughed the loudest, but Su Wen's voice became smaller and smaller, holding a 16K English textbook in his hand, but he also saw the face of Song Yu, the boy at the front table, who couldn't help but smile, and Su Wen couldn't wait to burrow his face into the book.

The English teacher stopped the noisy laughter of the classmates in time, and Su Wen thanked the English teacher for his magnanimity, after all, the English teacher was well-informed, and did not show much contempt for Su Wen's broken pronunciation. However, Su Wen still saw a flash of disappointment on the English teacher's face, and saw the English teacher say gently: "Su Wen, you don't have to be too nervous, can you tell the teacher where you went to junior high school?" ”

"Vincy County Middle School." Su Wen lowered his head, bit his lip and said softly.

Hearing Su Wen's words, the English teacher's face showed such a sudden realization expression, and the sense of disappointment became stronger: "So that's the case, it seems that the English teaching in the county is really not very good, and the teacher won't correct the pronunciation or something?" ”

Su Wen lowered his head in shame, and the teacher didn't want to say anything more when he saw this, "Fortunately, the English test doesn't test speaking, but speaking is the most important thing in English, and it's not enough to just know how to do questions!" Su Wen, after class, you should follow the English tape to practice speaking and work hard! Sit down! ”

"Thank you, teacher." As soon as Su Wen sat down, he lowered his head so much that he wanted to burrow into the hole in the table.

"I've delayed the students for two minutes," the English teacher turned to smile at the students in the audience, "Then please ask Xiao Shijie to read this text!" ”

Throughout the English class, Su Wen kept her head down the whole time, and she was lucky to win the first place in the first monthly exam, but this first place brought her not glory, but revealed the ugly true face of the laggard from her small county. In the first monthly exam, Su Wen's English score was three points higher than Xiao Shijie, who ranked second in the class, and she only had two more clozes than her. As soon as the broken English was spoken, the shortcomings of Su Wen's spoken English were exposed to the whole class.

The students who were laughing in the hall were immediately attracted by the beautiful voice of Xiao Shijie reciting the English text, but Su Wen's cheeks were red, and he lowered his head and bit his lip at the English text.

It was a fluke to take the first place in the English class for the first time, but in the second monthly exam, Su Wen still won the first place in the class, and even five points higher than Xiao Shijie, who was in second place. For this result, not only the English teacher was astonished, but also Su Wen himself and the 49 students in the class who had witnessed Su Wen's broken spoken English.

On the junior high school campus, Su Wen didn't notice too much of the lame part of his spoken language, and when he arrived at Bode Middle School, in front of his classmates' unusually standard English pronunciation, Su Wen had to be impressed.

After Su Wen was called up by the English teacher to read the English text aloud for the first time, he was never called up by the English teacher to read the text aloud. was ignored, Su Wen felt at ease, but secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind to correct his spoken pronunciation. Chao Song Yu borrowed the key to the classroom door, and Su Wen came to the classroom early every day, picked up the English textbook and read English aloud in the classroom. One morning, Su Wen was too involved in reading English, until he noticed the figure swaying in the corner of his eye, Su Wen was shocked to find that someone had come to the classroom, and the classroom that was originally filled with Su Wen's voice of reading English aloud fell silent in an instant.

Su Wen's eyes widened as he looked at the laughing appearance of the boy in front of him, and felt that his face was flushing.

"Hahaha," Song Yu laughed unkindly, "You keep reading, don't worry about me!" ”

"Don't read it!" The girl said indignantly.

The boy stopped laughing with tears in his eyes, tried to get serious, and said, "Don't, isn't that a good read?" ”

The girl thought that the boy was saying something that mocked her English pronunciation, and she was so ashamed that she turned her head and snorted coldly.

"What is this?" The boy laughed, "I'm not laughing at your English pronunciation, I really think it's pretty good!" So you asked me to borrow the classroom key so I could read English early! ”

"Or else?" The girl was still sulking with a red face, but when she faced Song Yu, she could easily express the complaint in her heart, "I read English so badly!" You know how to laugh at me! ”

"No, I'm not laughing at you!" The boy suddenly stopped, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't stop laughing, but I really didn't laugh at your pronunciation!" Trust me! ”

"Trust you? How do you want me to believe it? Su Wen was angry, "Then why are you smiling so happily?" ”

"Why?" Song Yu scratched his head, then bared his teeth and smiled, "Hmm...... I just think it's funny that you read English seriously! ”

Seeing that the boy laughed out loud regardless of his image, Su Wen picked up the English textbook in his hand and called the boy, "your funny!" ”

Being so disturbed by the boys, Su Wen did not feel any sense of being hit, and still insisted on the habit of being the first to read English in the classroom every day.
