The English speaking competition is divided into two parts: the preliminary round and the final round, and this Friday is the time for the preliminary round.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Mian came to the competition site on time......

When the senior standing at the door saw her, his eyes lit up, and he sent her a paper number plate, and intimately admonished, "Primary school girl, you can only go on stage by calling the number, come on!" ”

"Thank you, senior." She thanked her politely.

Entering the venue, Su Mian found an empty seat and sat down.

The number of participants is acceptable, but most of them are seniors, and as for the first-year contestants, Su Mian looked familiar at a glance, and there were only a handful.

She didn't pay much attention to it, looked down at the speech in her hand, although she had memorized it by heart, it was quite boring to sit dry, and read it silently.

The rules are simple in this oral competition......

Each contestant prepares an original 300-word speech and presents it in the form of an off-script speech.

Each contestant will be timed for five minutes, and the judges will judge them from various aspects such as content, oral expression ability, appeal, and voice intonation.

In the end, the judges will select the top 10 contestants according to their average scores to participate in the finals a week later, that is, next Friday.

At this time, the stage announced, "The game begins." ”

There are a lot of contestants, and some people have already been called to the stage, Su Mian cheered up, although it was not his turn, his little heart was beating straight up.

Her number plate numbers are more central......

There were people coming and going on the stage, and after waiting for a long time, the tension in his chest gradually subsided a little.

An hour and a half passed, and some of the contestants who were not named had begun to fall asleep......

Su Mian was no exception, the speech in her hand was put into her pocket, leaned back in the chair, and half-knocked her eyes.

Until......

The familiar female voice opened in fluent English, Su Mian slowly opened her eyes and saw the girl who was giving a speech on the stage - Yao Yunqing.

She wore a khaki green dress with a sense of design, and stood on the stage, elegant and generous.

Her beautiful face, elegant temperament, and excellent speech have won high praise from the judges.

Five minutes passed, and Yao Yun stepped down lightly.

Su Mian lightly opened his eyes......

It turned out that she also signed up for a speaking competition, so it's no wonder that she suddenly went back to the dormitory at noon, touched up her makeup and changed her clothes.

Although she was in the same dormitory and in the same class, she rarely had verbal communication with Yao Yun.

The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence......

In addition to being warm and intimate in front of Meng Xiao, Yao Yunqing treated her and Wei Ran in private, mostly with a posture of ignoring and being superior.

As Wei Ran said at the beginning, this is a delicate princess who tends to be inflammatory, and she likes to be held and used to being held.

"Contestant No. 56 is invited to give a speech."

Hearing the sound, Su Mian came back to her senses and slowly got up......

The classmates around her instinctively looked at her and whispered to the person sitting next to her......

"I'll go, Su Mian!" Someone was shocked.

"God is not targeting me!"

One boy scratched his hair and looked pained, "I'm the number 57, she's finished her speech, do I still need to go on stage?" I'm too hard......"

At this time, a sophomore senior smiled disdainfully, "As for it? How much can she learn as a freshman, in just over a month? ”

"You've been studying for a year longer than her, and you're scared like this? It's a shame for our sophomores. ”

Hearing this, the boy stopped wailing and looked at him with a foolish look, "Are you okay?" ”

"You're the only thing!" The senior glared at him, "It's just a small game, it's a shame to be scared like this by a primary school girl!" ”

The boy was not angry, but continued:

"Big brother, I don't question your self-confidence, but do you know how good Su Mian's English level is?"

"How good can it be?"

The senior still smiled disdainfully and continued, "She just went to college, did she pass the fourth or sixth grade?" No. ”

He asked himself, "So what are you afraid of?" ”

Hearing this, the boy looked at him in disbelief, wondering in his heart, this person is a big fool, right?

It's just stupid enough to be overconfident.

Didn't he know that there was a saying that 'talent knows no age or grade?' Not to mention......

Su Mian is both talented and very hardworking.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, she's already on stage, you'll know in a moment."

The boy put down this sentence and ignored him anymore.

"Cut!" The senior was dismissive.

……

Su Mian's dress today is more formal.

The low-key temperament of the black suit dress, a French retro style, with a belt around the waist, sets off the already full waistline, which is more stylish.

The placket is equipped with four metal round buttons, the style is simple, but with a hint of retro girlish atmosphere, the body is superior, and the sense of luxury is full......

She stood on the stage, with a smile on her eyebrows, generous manners, and a fluent and standard opening, which won the surprise and admiration of all the judges and students present......

Su Mian was immersed in the atmosphere of the speech, and the teachers on the judges' bench were appreciative and whispered......

Judge A: "This is the best one at the moment. ”

Judge B: "She is a celebrity on campus, and students call her a 'beautiful scholar', a beautiful and hard-working girl with a strong talent for languages......"

Judge C: "What is your family background?" ”

Judge B: "It's not clear......"

……

The hourglass on the table, the last grain of sand fell, the five-minute timer ended, and Su Mian just stopped speaking, and the time was pinched very accurately.

She bowed slightly, then returned to the stage.

A certain senior who had just sneered at her, his face was inexplicably painful, and he lowered his head and was silent at this time.

The boy sitting next to him, seeing his appearance, smiled proudly, as if he had won a victory, and was about to open his mouth to fall into the ground, when a voice came from the stage, "Please take the No. 57 contestant to the stage to speak." ”

The smile on the boy's face instantly fell, and he quickly adjusted his state, got up and walked towards the podium.

As Su Mian's speech ended......

On the screen directly in front of the podium, the score record, which has been playing on a loop, has changed dramatically......

Su Mian jumped up and directly became the first place.

Everyone in the audience sighed silently: This is the crushing of strength, which can stand the review of time.

Yao Yun clenched his fingers lightly and looked at his ranking, falling from eighth to ninth......

She quickly lowered her head, picked up the jealous light that could barely be concealed at the bottom of her eyes, and cursed Su Mian in her heart.

……

The last contestant's speech ended, and the fluctuation of the position on the screen slowly stopped.

The crowd held their breath......

Judge Teacher A raised the microphone and slowly spoke, "...... Students who are not on the list will make persistent efforts to make the list next year. ”

"The top 10 students who passed the preliminary round are invited to come to me to receive the rules of the finals."
