Rebirth to 80s: Daughter-in-law is a Bit Spicy

Xia Xiaolan knows why Ning Xue didn't participate in the English competition.

Ning Xue, as the national top student in the national college entrance examination, did not get full marks on the English test papers, which is not much worse.

Ji Jiangyuan said that Ning Xue had been to the United States when she was in high school, and her oral English was also good. She did not participate in the English competition because she felt that the English competition was of little value. Ning Xue is like a long-established master in the arena. You don't need to rely on these competitions to prove yourself. Ning Xue expects to be waiting for competitions in the professional field.

Xia Xiaolan is different. She also points to earning more honor and changing the 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 sense of collective honor increased.

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

Looking around, it is really surrounded by powerful enemies: Beijing University, National People's Congress, Beijing Normal University, Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, University of Posts and Commerce... The Beijing area has passed the preliminary test. There are more than 200 people in the capital area.

It is not easy for Xia Xiaolan to stand out among more than two hundred people, including professional players in the foreign language department.

She estimated that she was a little bit cheaper in speaking and listening, and those who could pass the first test had similar scores on the papers.

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

Liu Huazheng rolled his eyes and suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"I heard a news that those who can enter the finals, regardless of whether they win the prize or not, will have the opportunity to get a publicly funded study abroad quota."

"You said studying abroad at public expense?"

Teacher Lin attached great importance to this English competition, but did not give Xia Xiaolan a thorough explanation.

Liu Huazheng’s news is more informed than Xia Xiaolan’s. Obviously Ji Jiangyuan has also heard of it, “It’s not a study abroad, it’s an exchange student.”

Exchange student?

It turned out that there was an exchange student program in 1984. Xia Xiaolan vaguely remembers that it was not until 1995 that the US State Department officially approved China to join the International Student Exchange Program. She remembered very clearly, because Xia Xiaolan was admitted to the university in the same year of her last life. .

There is no exchange student plan with the United States yet, it is mostly other countries.

Xia Xiaolan is not particularly longing to be an improper exchange student. If she has plans to go abroad, she will definitely go abroad to study directly.

If you can't get the publicly funded quota, then go at your own expense.

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

Among the three, Ji Jiangyuan came back directly from the United States. Being an exchange student is not very attractive to him. Only Liu Huazheng yearns for it. Knowing this news is an episode before the re-examination for Xia Xiaolan, how to take the exam or how to take the exam.

At the beginning, it was a written test, which included a listening part. The time was short and there were a lot of questions. The reading comprehension of large and large texts is pretty good. It is very difficult to make time to check right and wrong.

There is a whole paper for listening questions.

The oral examination is conducted by the teachers in the examination room. All college students who participate in the re-examination are divided into single and double groups according to the examination number. Each group has 3 teachers arranged by the Beijing Education Commission.

A lot of English articles were prepared on the spot, and I went to the stage to pick one at random. First read the article in public. After reading the article, the teacher would ask some questions. It's useless to read vaguely. You have to know what the article says, and you have to organize your language to answer the teacher's questions.

This is undoubtedly the most bumpy part of the retest.

Those who know how to write questions, the spoken language is not necessarily good.

A good spoken language may not necessarily be able to do questions. Ji Jiangyuan realized that he would not be able to make the finals because of his poor reading comprehension.

Speaking and listening are no problem.

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

Except for a few words, she read the whole text very smoothly. The teacher asked her about China’s environmental protection issues, because this article is about foreign environmental pollution. Most teachers want to hear that China is doing better than foreign countries, Xia Xiaolan thought about it. Thinking, still can't be ignorant of conscience:

"We are giving priority to the development of industry now. Industry can provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the people of the whole country, which can make our motherland prosperous and strong. However, on the other hand, industrial waste water is dumped directly into the rivers. The pollution of water and soil is extremely destructive, and environmental protection is now a problem. It has not attracted most of the attention. If we don’t need the intervention and prevention of laws and regulations, environmental pollution will be a serious problem that we will face in another 20 or 30 years. Rivers with excessive heavy metals will not have fish and shrimps and will be polluted. No healthy crops can be grown in the land, the air is full of dust, and you can’t go out without a mask! No one wants to see such a situation happen and spend a hundred times more energy to manage it afterwards. It’s better to start paying attention to this problem now and prevent it. Question."

This is a bit vague, because I haven't seen a person whose smog is so severe that they only need to wear a gas mask to go out. It is really hard to imagine what Xia Xiaolan said.

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

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

Maybe not the answer the teacher wanted? None of the three teachers commented.

Anyway, she spoke in English. After answering the questions, she ended the oral exam.

Ji Jiangyuan couldn't help but come over, "Have you ever cared about environmental issues?"

In China in 1984, apart from relevant experts and scholars, who would pay attention to environmental protection? Ji Jiangyuan always felt that Xia Xiaolan was different from others, as if it was out of step with the domestic environment. This time he felt that way again.

Liu Huazheng also felt that Xia Xiaolan's oral part was a bit off.

"You speak so well, just answer the teacher's questions well!"

What do you want to do? Political examination papers are always done. Every college student knows how to answer this kind of question.

Xia Xiaolan did not explain, but sighed: "It seems that I have missed the finals."

She said that she would not regret it, but she was very sorry for Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin had high hopes for her, and Xia Xiaolan was the only one who entered the re-examination in the Department of Architecture.

Ji Jiangyuan felt that Xia Xiaolan's answer was correct, but considering the environment, Xia Xiaolan spoke fluently, and the direction of the questions answered deviated from the "standard answer", so Ji Jiangyuan did not dare to praise Xia Xiaolan too much. In case Xia Xiaolan especially wants to enter the finals, because the oral part is brushed off, wouldn't this make Xia Xiaolan sad.

Liu Huazheng also has a high emotional intelligence, and neither of them raised this issue anymore.

Xia Xiaolan said that she wanted to have a chat with fellow villagers in the foreign trade and economic cooperation, because there were other students taking the exam, Huaqing took the school bus together to participate in the re-examination, so naturally they had to gather together and go together.

"Go, I'll let the school bus wait for you in a moment."

Liu Huazheng assured Xia Xiaolan that she would be relieved.

Ji Jiangyuan thought for a while, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
