Thursday, July 4.

It rained a thunderstorm that is common in summer.

Even at 2 p.m., the entire sky was covered in dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if the end of the world was apocalyptic.

The campus was empty, with all students and teachers crammed into the school building, and the back doors of the classrooms were full of open umbrellas. The large army, which usually went to the toilet outside the north arch to smoke, died down today, and they all cowered in the classroom, unwilling to move.

The raindrops the size of beans fell like a hole in the Milky Way, pouring down the river and flooding the city. The playground in the distance was washed away by the rain, revealing a large area of yellow mud and turning the entire playground into a yellow sea, because the playground is low, and the water stored can even reach people's knees.

Session 1.2 in the afternoon was Zhao Niannian's English class, but Lin Ming's mind was not in class at all. He looked at the thunderstorm outside and was slightly distracted, and the raindrops hit the leaves of the banyan tree outside the window, making a constant ticking sound. The whole campus is in the rustling of leaves.

Today is the release day of Zhang Ziqi's album, and I don't know if it will be affected by the weather, which will cause her sales to fall. Zhang Ziqi is not like the new era, she has her own fan base, and according to the company's forecast, today's sales should be good. It's a pity that there are unforeseen storms and clouds, and the weather forecast says that the next few days will be sunny and cloudy at most, but I didn't expect that I don't know which way the climate was suddenly affected, and the rainstorm in the entire southern region suddenly arrived. Experts on the news say that the whole year of 2002 was a typhoon season in the Pacific. Since January, various typhoons have taken turns to blow in Southeast Asia, island countries, treasure islands and other areas, and then make landfall in domestic port cities, Guangdong cities and other places, and then hit Hunan Province in the mainland.

Throughout July, there is a possibility that it will turn into a rainy season. Even in Hunan Province, which is very far south and close to Yuecheng, it is an extremely rare situation. It is involuntarily reminded of the catastrophic natural disaster of '98. However, Lin Ming will not rehash the old things like the experts on the news, and make all kinds of worries to make people panic.

Because since that catastrophic disaster, the country has learned from the pain and begun to pay attention to environmental protection, and the phenomenon of such monstrous floods will no longer occur in the future. Moreover, since 98 years, Yuncheng has carried out large-scale expansion and maintenance of the underground drainage system, and the flood discharge capacity has been improved, and the general flood does not pose much of a threat.

Lin Ming was just looking at the rainy day outside, slightly worried that Zhang Ziqi's album would be affected. He loves the rain very much, and the gray rainy day makes him feel comfortable. Especially when looking outside under the window, if there is a cup of tea, it will make his impetuous heart enjoy a moment of tranquility.

It was only on such a rainy day that Lin Ming could be quiet. Instead of thinking about the future development path every day, and recalling the major events of the past years, so that your path can be changed at any time.

Sometimes, enjoy the peace from time to time. It's also excellent, and when I come to the age I envied when I was a child, but I didn't become the person I wanted to be when I was a child, this is the biggest regret in my life. Lin Ming's personality is full of contradictions like Jane, he has always thought that he will never forget his original intention. But the road of life is like this, not to say that decades and years remain the same, it may be just a day, an hour, a minute, a second, and people's thoughts will change at any time. Once Lin Ming just wanted to live his life in peace, but under some pressure, he had to make all kinds of choices, instead of living his life in peace like Shengdou Xiaomin.

This may be a kind of unyielding spirit in his bones, and it is also a mission that he hopes to stick to after having happiness. He hopes that everyone around him can live happily, and he also hopes that he can give everyone around him a happy life. Life is so short, we should be brave enough to go through this brilliant life.

......．

"Lin Ming, Stand, tell me am\is\was\were.being.done\will.be.done, which of them are in the past tense?" Zhao Niannian saw Lin Ming looking out the window, and he was angry. Even if you are now a celebrity in the eyes of the principal, a school man, you can't ignore your own teacher.

Lin Ming's thoughts were disturbed, he stood up and glanced at the blackboard helplessly: "Yes." where am\is is in the simple present tense, am\is\was\were.being.done is in the present continuous tense, and was in was\will.be.done can be in the simple present tense or in the past continuous tense. ”

This kind of grammar question in the first year of high school is still a little difficult for a college student who has passed the fourth level of English. Don't think that these things are difficult, in fact, they are very basic things, and the concept of mathematics 1+1=2, as long as you study carefully, you can learn it. The difficulty of English lies in the number of words, and the number of words can be used to achieve good English results.

This is also the reason why English teachers emphasize memorizing words and memorizing words every day, but Lin Ming does not agree very much, and he uses another way to learn English - looking up word information. To understand a country and a language, if you can't understand it only from the culture and environment, you have to memorize it or look up information. It's like when you're reading a language book, the language book often tells a lot of historical stories, so that you can understand the meaning of an idiom from the cultural background of our country. Knowing this story, you will be able to understand the origin of this idiom and what it represents. The same is true for English, where you will quickly understand the meaning of words and deepen your reading comprehension as quickly as possible. However, there is a second shortcut, which is to read foreign classics. This method is very popular among the students of No. 1 Middle School, and even many reading materials published in China are translated into foreign languages and sold to students, which is called English learning. For example, the Phantom City will be published in January next year.

When you learn English in these two ways, you will be able to memorize a lot of English words before you know it. As long as you stick with it for a year, you will have unexpected surprises. In his previous life, Lin Ming's English grades were very bad, but in the face of the problem of graduating from college, he had to pick up his textbooks and work hard to practice English and take the level test.

He used both of these methods to memorize a large number of English words. In fact, in that era of crazy English, the method of learning English that emphasizes speaking and reciting aloud is indeed a very new and good choice. However, this is not good for the exam.

If you want to take the TOEFL and IELTS, you can do Crazy English. If you want to cope with the exam papers, you have to continue to memorize words. Because speaking won't help you answer questions on the test paper.

Although you have to admit it, a lot of speaking practice does help you to strengthen your vocabulary quickly. However, in Lin Ming's opinion, the quick course is not as fast as the above two methods, because your understanding of the words is not as deep as the first two. Maybe one second you read it, the next second you will forget the word. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the practice and waste a lot of time on oral memorization. Generally speaking, whether it is memorizing words or speaking, it is a way of rote memorization. And the two that Lin Ming chose were completely deep understanding. It's like growing up in a foreign country and the environment influences your language. One is to memorize English in China, and the gap between the two will naturally be different.

Of course.

Speaking training is also not without use.

At least Lin Ming spends two hours a day talking to Enron in English.

Because he wants to take the TOEFL and IELTS test in August, he doesn't have to study abroad, and he has no plans for this. Instead, in September, if he wanted to take the entrance exam for the first high school, he had to pass the English test. He wanted to see what level of his English level was, how many points he could score on the TOEFL IELTS, and determine his level.

As for the English proficiency test, it is a test for universities or technical secondary schools, and he is not eligible to take it. After the afternoon English class, it was immediately a physics and history course, and the rain outside the window hit the plantains, and the dripping rain scorched everyone's heart.

Only Lin Ming, bathed in this raindrop, washed himself like a pilgrimage. But he didn't know that there was another person, who was also quietly watching him under the window in the rain.

Li Sisi's gaze focused on his face, and the positions of the two people were far away, one was in the innermost vertical row of the classroom, the second to the second, and the other was in the fourth vertical row in the first vertical row of the classroom. The two of them straddled the entire classroom, but strangely, Li Sisi could always clearly see his side face staring out the window.

She could even see a slight blue stubble growing from his white jaw.

This may be the beholder's eyes.

For a month, on Lin Ming's table, there would be a pack of Hibiscus Emperor every day. No matter how dull the people in the class are, when they see this scene that Li Sisi does every morning, they will understand in their hearts what it is for.

The gossip quickly spread throughout the class, after all, Li Sisi is very good-looking, she is the class flower of class 506, there are not a few people who like her, and there are even boys from other classes who come to write love letters or confessions to her. But many people know that this girl is always a gentle gesture to refuse all pursuits.

Like, no one in this world can touch her heart.

Except for Lin Ming.

However.

Neither of them pierced the window paper.

Even in the class, there was hardly any communication. Usually meet occasionally, at most they nod to each other, and there is a feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

Only Lin Ming knew that the more this was the case, the more terrifying the outburst would be with the emotions that accumulated later.

He has already regretted why he didn't take advantage of the beginning of this unrequited love to be the first to extinguish it. The bitter fruit brewed by oneself can only be tasted by oneself. Lin Ming had no choice but to hope that he would hold it off for the time being, and when he was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in September, maybe the situation would get better after the two stopped seeing each other every day.
