V1.Chapter 529

Xia Xiaolan knows why Ning Xue doesn't take part in the English competition.

Ning Xue, as the top student in the national college entrance examination, didn't get full marks in the English test paper, which was no worse.

Ji Jiangyuan said that Ning Xue had been to the United States in high school and her oral ability was also good. She didn't participate in the English competition because she thought the English competition was worthless. Ning Xue is like a well-known expert in the Jianghu. She doesn't need to rely on these competitions to prove herself. Ning Xue is expected to wait for competitions in the professional field.

Xia Xiaolan is different. She also points to earning more honor to change others' impression of her.

After the military training and the National Day parade, Xia Xiaolan knew that she had indeed changed a little. She was more integrated into this era and her collective sense of honor was enhanced.

As Liu Huazheng said, reaching the finals is not for personal honor, but also for Huaqing's collective honor!

Look around, there are really strong enemies: Beijing University, National People's Congress, Beijing Normal University, foreign trade and economic cooperation, postal University... More than 200 people passed the preliminary test in the capital area.

It's not easy for Xia Xiaolan to stand out from more than 200 people, including professionals in the foreign language department.

She estimated that she was the one who took advantage of oral English and listening. The scores of the papers were the same.

Ji Jiangyuan came over, "are you two very nervous?"

Liu Huazheng threw him a white eye and suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"I heard a news that those who can enter the finals, whether they win the prize or not, will have the opportunity to get a place to study abroad at public expense."

"You say studying abroad at public expense?"

Miss Lin attached great importance to the English competition, but she didn't tell Xia Xiaolan.

Liu Huazheng's news is more informed than Xia Xiaolan. Obviously, Ji Jiangyuan has also heard some, "it's not studying abroad, it's an exchange student."

exchange student?

There was an exchange program in 1984. Xia Xiaolan vaguely remembers that it was not until 1995 that the State Department officially approved China to join the "international student exchange program". She remembers it very clearly, because Xia Xiaolan was admitted to university in the same year of her last life.

Now there is no exchange program with the United States. It is mostly other countries.

Xia Xiaolan is not particularly eager to be an improper exchange student. If she has a plan to go abroad, she is definitely going to study abroad directly.

If you can't get a place at public expense, go at your own expense.

Anyway, it's always right to make more money now.

Among the three people, Ji Jiangyuan came back directly from the United States. Being an exchange student is not attractive to him. Only Liu Huazheng yearns for it. Knowing this news, for Xia Xiaolan, it is an episode before the retest. How to test or how to test.

The first is the written test, which includes the listening part. The time is short and there are many questions. The reading comprehension of large articles is good. It is difficult to spare time to check the right and wrong.

There is a whole paper for the listening problem.

The oral test is conducted by the teachers in the examination room. All college students participating in the retest are divided into single and double groups according to the test number. Each group has three teachers arranged by the Beijing Education Commission.

Many English articles were prepared on the scene. Go on stage and take one at random. First read the article in public. After reading it, the teacher will ask some questions. It's no use reading vaguely in the past. You still have to know what the article says, and organize language to answer the teacher's questions.

This is undoubtedly the most frustrating part of the retest.

Can brush questions, oral English is not necessarily good.

Good oral English doesn't necessarily make questions. Ji Jiangyuan realized that he couldn't make it to the Finals because he didn't do well in reading comprehension.

Speaking and listening are no problem.

When it was Xia Xiaolan's turn, one of the articles she drew was about environmental protection.

Except for some words, she read the whole text very smoothly. The teacher asked her about her views on environmental protection in China, because this article is about environmental pollution in foreign countries. Most of the teachers want to hear that China is doing better than foreign countries. Xia Xiaolan thought about it, but she still can't ignore her conscience:

"We now give priority to the development of industry, which can provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the people of the whole country and make our motherland prosperous and strong. On the other hand, however, industrial wastewater is directly dumped into rivers, and the pollution of water quality and soil is very destructive. At present, the problem of environmental protection has not attracted most attention. If laws and regulations are not used for intervention and prevention, in another 20 or 30 years, Environmental pollution is bound to be a serious problem we have to face - there will be no fish and shrimp in rivers with excessive heavy metals, no healthy crops can be grown in the polluted land, the air is filled with dust, and we can't go out without masks! No one wants to see such a situation happen. If you spend a hundred times more energy on governance afterwards, it's better to start paying attention to this problem and prevent it now. "

This is a little vague, because I haven't seen people who only need to wear gas masks to go out. It's hard to imagine what Xia Xiaolan said.

Some people think she is sensational, others think she is alarmist.

Xia Xiaolan just got this article and took this opportunity to say it.

Maybe it's not the answer the teacher wants? None of the three teachers commented.

Anyway, she spoke in English. After answering the questions, she finished the oral test.

Ji Jiangyuan couldn't help coming over, "have you ever been concerned about environmental protection?"

In China in the past 84 years, in addition to relevant experts and scholars, who will pay attention to environmental protection? Ji Jiangyuan always felt that Xia Xiaolan was different from others, as if she was incompatible with the domestic environment. This time, she had this feeling again.

Liu Huazheng also thinks Xia Xiaolan's oral part is a little biased.

"Your oral English is so good, just answer the teacher's questions!"

What do you say? Political papers are always done. Every college student knows how to answer this question.

Xia Xiaolan did not explain, but sighed: "it seems that I have no chance to participate in the finals."

She won't regret it. She's very sorry for Miss Lin. Miss Lin has high hopes for her. Xia Xiaolan is the only one in the architecture department to enter the second examination.

Ji Jiangyuan thinks Xia Xiaolan's answer is right, but considering the environment, Xia Xiaolan's oral English is fluent, and the direction of the answer deviates from the "standard answer", Ji Jiangyuan doesn't dare to praise Xia Xiaolan. If Xia Xiaolan especially wants to enter the finals, because the oral part is brushed down, doesn't it make Xia Xiaolan sad.

Liu Huazheng's EQ is also very high. They don't ask this question anymore.

Xia Xiaolan said she wanted to talk to her fellow villagers in foreign trade and economic cooperation, because there were other students taking the exam. Hua Qing took the school bus together to take the re exam. Naturally, important people gathered together to go together.

"Go quickly. I'll let the school bus wait for you later."

Liu Huazheng promised Xia Xiaolan to go at ease.

Ji Jiangyuan thought, "let's go. I'll go with you."
