It's another day in the blink of an eye, and the English speech contest is getting closer and closer, and Xu Suizhu is also busy. After the afternoon class, I went back to my home first, fed and cooked, and after half past four, I went to my brother's and sister-in-law's house with a bag of braised beef bought on the street, settled the small buns, and then hurried back to school.

Invite the students of the speech contest to rehearse.

Listening to them recite, Xu Suizhu pointed out the shortcomings of the three one by one:

"Wen Jun has two pronunciation standards, note it, go home and practice more...... Lin Lei's connection between the previous and the next is quite crucial, we must pay attention to emotional changes, don't blindly let go, and need to be closed when appropriate...... Xiaoxue's recitation is basically passed, but her voice is a little weaker, and she is not conspicuous enough to be sandwiched between the two middle-spirited boys, but this is not a big problem, the microphone should be provided at the competition site, and then practice well, and strive not to lose to the male compatriots in momentum......"

"Teacher Xu, let's try again?"

"Okay. ”

This time, it is obviously much better than the previous one. It's no problem to pull directly to the stage to compete.

Xu Suizhu said with relief: "That's all for today, you remember the content quite familiarly, and if you strengthen the emotional retraction, it should be no problem to enter the finals." Do you have any good advice for clothing?"

The school uniform in the town is too ordinary, it is a sportswear with white stripes at the bottom of the basket, and it is worn from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, not to mention the white wash, which looks very old. The point is, athletic uniforms don't quite fit the topic they're going to talk about.

But it is difficult for a coincidental woman to cook without rice, Rao is that she has countless inspirations in her head, but there are not so many fabrics for her to toss, where to conjure up three sets of performance costumes.

After a while, Tian Xiaoxue raised her hand weakly: "My eldest sister has a red strap skirt, I don't know if it's okay?"

Red strap dress?

Xu Suizhu thought for a while, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, you can bring it to me tomorrow first, the best match for a red strap skirt is a white shirt." ”

Tian Xiaoxue said happily: "I have a white shirt myself. ”

"Okay, your outfit is a white shirt, a red strap skirt, a pair of white socks, and black leather shoes. Socks are easy to solve, leather shoes ...... I'll figure it out. ”

She remembered that there was a shop that made leather shoes opposite the county library, but she couldn't do it, so she bought a pair of small black round-toed leather shoes out of her own pocket and lent them to the students first.

The shoe size is about the same size - Xu Suizhu glanced at Tian Xiaoxue's feet and came to a conclusion.

Men's clothing is easy to do, Chen Wenjun and Lin Lei have brothers who are two or three years older than them, and they are young and young who have entered the society, and white shirts are their standard accessories. As for men's black leather shoes, Lin Lei's brother has a pair, which is needed for the competition, so the family will not disagree with them. The yardage is said to be one size larger, but it can be worn improvised. Then there is still a pair missing.

When she went to pick up the little bun that night, Xu Suizhu asked her cousin if she could borrow men's leather shoes. I didn't expect my cousin to have a pair of them himself - I bought them when I got married, and I didn't wear them a few times, and they were very well maintained, so I borrowed them. I promised to take good care of it, and before I came back, I would definitely wipe it with leather shoe polish and never stain it.

The women's leather shoes were finally borrowed by Mr. Zhong. Who asked her to say "If there is anything you need to help, just mention it, you can help", Xu Suizhu unceremoniously asked her if she had black leather shoes, and the answer was yes, and it happened to be a round head.

The costumes are finally ready.

The boys have white shirts on their upper bodies, navy blue straight-leg pants on their lower bodies, and black leather shoes on their shoes.

On this Sunday afternoon, Xu and the fishery workers who came to the town to deliver the fish goods with Zhutuo told her aunt that she would not go back this week, and that she would accompany the students to do the final rehearsal on Saturday afternoon.

She didn't feel at ease, so she took the delivery truck from the fishery to the town early on Saturday morning to take a look and make sure that her niece was not lying—it was indeed the school that had something to do, and that her nephew was also very well-raised, white and tender, and looked much stronger than last week. That's peace of mind. But when I left, I took the small bun with me.

"The fishing ground is not busy in the past two days, since you have something to do, I will help you take it for two days, and then send the doudou over after the game. It doesn't matter if you don't eat milk for two days. ”

Xu Suizhu thought about it, although the selection competition was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, but he had to leave in the morning, and he had to sign in and rehearse on the spot. In this way, I can't take care of the little bun for a whole day.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I've been in trouble for the past two days, and I'll pick him up when I come back from the game." ”

This speech contest was organized and initiated by the Provincial Education Bureau, and the county and city education bureaus paid more attention to it. At that time, the team sent to the provincial capital to participate in the finals is related to the face of Yupu County.

No, the county-level selection competition not only gathered the principals of the participating schools, but also the directors and deputy directors of the education bureau also came, occupying the first row of guest seats. Whether they understand it or not, being able to come shows that they attach importance to this game.

In addition, there are special reporters sent by the provincial and municipal education bureaus, with long guns and short guns set up cameras on the stage.

Seeing this, Xu Suizhu nodded secretly - the more people with heads and brains attended, the better. It is rumored that the county No. 1 middle school and the county No. 3 middle school have a good relationship with the judges, but on such a grand occasion and the truthful record of the camera, they dare not score at will.

"Teacher Xu, how many appearances did we draw?" Tian Xiaoxue asked nervously.

Chen Wenjun and Lin Lei also stared at her without blinking.

Xu Suizhu glanced at the paper ball that he grabbed and told them, "The thirteenth." ”

A total of 15 schools participated in the lottery.

"Don't look at the numbers as auspicious, but they're not bad, so let's take it as the finale. Just play normally like the previous rehearsals, don't be nervous, and it's no problem to get into the finals. Xu Suizhu comforted them.

The three students were very reassured. But it is impossible not to be nervous, and everyone snuggles up in their seats with serious expressions, memorizing the content of the speech repeatedly in their hearts, and strives to be able to perform exceptionally when they come to the stage.

The hearts of the three of them were as bright as a mirror. Knowing that this is a war without gunpowder, whether the middle school students in the town can fire the cannon of English, impress the teachers and students of the county, and see how they perform today.

Xu Suizhu held her cheeks and listened carefully to the speeches that came to the stage one after another. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

But after listening to a few, I knew in my heart that my own students definitely have a show.

The first student to take the stage was so nervous that he not only stumbled, but also said several words incorrectly, and his score was currently the lowest.

The second and third came on stage to speak fluently, but unfortunately the content was mediocre, and the scores given by the judges were not low, but not high.

After that, the few who came to power were not much different.

In contrast, the students of the county No. 1 middle school have the best impression. At the end of the speech, the five judges gave an average score of 9.4, and the highest score in other schools was 9.1.

No wonder the two familiar female teachers in the county No. 1 middle school were smiling and trembling, and the corners of their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears.

In fact, in the remaining schools, English has never been the opponent of County No. 1 Middle School.

Probably thinking that victory was in sight and the championship was firmly in their hands, the two female teachers enjoyed the envious eyes, compliments and praise from other school teachers quite proudly, and discussed in a loud voice the clothes to wear to the provincial finals......

Xu Suizhu rolled her eyes: This girl is too blind, right!
