636: It's Finally the 17th (2 More)

"Thank you for the wonderful performance of player No. 15, and now there is player No. 16, from..."

It's the turn of the 16th.

In other words, today's recording will end in more than an hour, and the TV station people are also curious. After the 16th, it will be Xia Xiaolan's oral presentation on the 17th.

What is Xia Xiaolan's level in the end? The jury will not show favoritism. People from the TV station are curious.

It is estimated that the judges who cannot be bought, that is, the expert Katherine, right?

However, it doesn't matter if Katherine said it alone, the lowest and highest scores should be removed, and the remaining scores will be calculated as the average score. This scoring system is learned from sports events and is said to be more fair and just.

The Katherine judge alone gave a low score, which is actually useless, and will be removed from the calculation of the score.

"What we hear with our ears is not necessarily true, we have to look at it with our own heart."

Older comrades are less naive and think more deeply. After the initial shock, it really got worse the more I thought about it. Just talk about it in front of the judges. If you want to go through the back door to get the grand prize, what do you say hello to the TV station?

Vanity wants to be on TV, and won the special prize, the TV station will naturally give more shots.

From this point of view, in the box at noon today, Director Wang's behavior is quite strange. But in the case of not knowing Xia Xiaolan, who is so thoughtful to distinguish for her, everyone's thoughts are different. The leadership of the Department of Higher Education may be a big threat to ordinary college teachers, and people like Professor Xu Guozhang don't need to listen to Director Wang's words.

Professor Xu also specifically asked the name and school, alas, where is Director Wang helping? It is clearly hurting others!

Thinking of this, the older comrade lowered his voice: "What are you worried about, Professor Xu's character is trustworthy, and the English level of the big guy can't be a judge. If you compare the previous dozen or so contestants, you can always make a rough judgment... …Don’t worry, the fake can’t be true, and the real can’t be fake!”

The life experience of old comrades is rich, and he has taught young comrades a lesson.

The young comrades were skeptical, whether they were patiently waiting for Xia Xiaolan on the 17th to play. After such an analysis, the truth of the matter seems to be shrouded in fog, and doubts abound.

If Xia Xiaolan was really capable, and was acted like this by Director Wang, even if she had won a good place, there would have been rumors that there were so many people in the box at that time, thinking that she had won the award through the back door, right?

I don't know what's going on, just wait and see.

The 15th came down, and as soon as the 16th came on stage, everyone who knew Xia Xiaolan in the audience was shocked. It was Xia Xiaolan's turn soon, and she didn't know if she was ready.

No. 16 is a boy with fair looks and gentleness, and when he speaks, it makes people feel good about him.

He ranked 16th in the written test, but he performed very well in the oral test. He surpassed many previous players in one fell swoop. The final score was 97.5 points, second only to player No. 1... If the next four players, including Xia Xiaolan, did not exceed this score Yes, the boy No. 16 and the girl No. 1 took the top two, that is, the special prize!

2 special prizes, 6 first prizes, 9-20 second prizes.

Grandma Zhou doesn't understand English, but she can read and understand.

"This score is very high, right now it ranks second?"

Guan Huimo nodded, "No. 1 is 97.9 points, this No. 16 is 97.5 points."

Even 0.1 points are very important. The strength of the first English competition is very strong. I heard that the English major of Jingcheng Foreign Languages ​​Institute is not allowed to apply. Otherwise, the competition will be more fierce. Guan Huiya did not expect Xia Xiaolan to win the special prize. , if you are lucky, it is very good to get a first prize.

It's not ashamed to say it out. The first prize is the top 8 in the country. Xia Xiaolan has won this honor. In the future, everything that requires English proficiency is basically a smooth road for her.

Of course, if you can enter the oral examination competition, you can't escape a second prize, and you are also in the top 20 in the country.

Guan Huimo is very open, Xia Xiaolan is not her daughter, why does she demand high standards? To put it badly, she brought her own son Zhou Cheng to take an English test, and Zhou Cheng couldn't even pass the first test!

Grandma Zhou had full confidence in Xia Xiaolan. After listening to Guan Huimo's words, the old lady said to herself:

"Then Xiaolan has to score 98 points to win."

The audience sitting next to the old lady couldn't help it. They couldn't help but look at Grandma Zhou, the family of the 17th, right? The tone is also too big, and your child is the most powerful!

Guan Huimo was very embarrassed, Grandma Zhou was indifferent, and she didn't care what others thought.

Finally, the judges and teachers finished their words of encouraging the No. 16 high-scoring contestant, and began to introduce the No. 17 contestant:

"Welcome to our No. 17 contestant. She is from Huaqing University. Huaqing University has two students who made it to the top 20. One is No. 8 Zhong Cai, and the other is Xia Xiaolan, No. 17 who will appear soon—"

"Come on, Xiaolan!"

Zhong Cai gave Xia Xiaolan a hug and quickly let go, Xia Xiaolan walked through the passage.

She looks so pretty!

After waiting for a few hours, he was still in good spirits, and the cameraman felt that this face was not picky. It is no joke to be 10 pounds fat on the camera. Unfortunately, if the facial features are relatively flat, it will look like 20 pounds fat on the camera. Of course, there are not so many fat people now, but Xia Xiaolan's face is still too delicate among the thin people.

It was a delight to watch.

What a good-looking female student, isn't it appropriate to give more shots in this kind of competition?

"It's her..."

"Yes, the one that Director Wang said.

"

"Where do you need a special greeting here?"

At least there is no need to say hello to the TV station, the camera is not stupid, and the program director is not stupid. The more I think about it, the higher it is, I don't understand what Director Wang is thinking.

The host also thought that classmate No. 17 was too dazzling. There was a brief silence on the scene, and everyone's attention should not be distracted by the beautiful face.

"Xia Xiaolan, introduce yourself to everyone."

The English version of the self-introduction is almost the same, and Xia Xiaolan can't say it better than others. Everyone who entered the finals has been prepared for this English introduction. This is not what the students thought alone, but also includes the efforts of the teachers. How to speak more naturally and how to make the judges remember themselves are the purpose of each self-introduction.

Speaking of learning English, Teacher Lin is also curious about Xia Xiaolan's learning method.

Xia Xiaolan told Teacher Lin that there was nothing special.

"It's just taking an old dictionary and reciting it over and over again. I don't care about the words that are too difficult. First, I have to memorize all the simple everyday words, and then I will talk about grammar. In the process of memorizing, I can summarize some rules by myself, and use these rules to memorize, and the efficiency is also improved. increased."

Teacher Lin was silent for a while.

There is no name pointing, Xia Xiaolan's English is accumulated bit by bit.

"When you introduce yourself, tell the truth."

Xia Xiaolan didn't know whether Wang Guangping's bad move worked or not. She saw Aunt Zhan at the judges' table. She wasn't too happy.

Never mind, let's be honest.

"...There are no good conditions for learning English in the countryside. I have neither met English teachers who come to rural schools to contribute to my youth, nor have I encountered devolved scholars who live in cowsheds. I occasionally get an old dictionary as a learning tool. Pages and pages, I can use the learned words to try to translate the articles in the Chinese textbook, I think it is enough for daily use."
