Chapter 26 Learning English is easy
“What else?”
Between classes, Lin Zhiyuan took out three textbooks in his schoolbag:
English textbook, English grammar , English listening.
“English is very complicated. What’s the point of knowing only words, present simple tense, present continuous tense, a lot of grammar, and a listening test.”
"There are only so many grammatical transformations. Memorizing them is much easier than memorizing words."
"No, then you have to be able to use it."
Li Yan put it down with interest. Dictionary, looking at his deskmate with a weird smile:
"To be able to use it, do you have to know the meaning of that sentence in the corresponding context?"
"Yes." Lin Zhiyuan Seeing Li Yan like this made me feel guilty.
"As long as you know the meaning of all the words, and the meaning of the sentence can be easily understood, can you still not judge what tense it belongs to?"
"Know the meaning of all the words? This premise is too outrageous."
Li Yan picked up the vocabulary book again, "That's why I'm doing this."
It was then that Lin Zhiyuan discovered that this book was actually "2500 Must-Learn Words for Junior High School".
Okay, Xiaopang chose to shut up.
"Learning English is very easy, Zhiyuan."
But Li Yan didn't seem to want to let him go.
"Please, Mr. Yan, your ease is not the same as mine."
"Just think, if you know all the English words in a test paper, wouldn't it be simplified? Chinese version? ”
“That’s the truth…what about listening?”
"We are going to play badminton on Saturday morning, will you play?"
"Ah... let's play." Lin Zhiyuan was confused.
"Excuse me, when did I just make an appointment with you to play ball?"
"Brother Yan, don't treat me like a retard, okay? Saturday morning, Saturday morning."
“Look, if you understand every word, English listening is probably about this level of difficulty.”
Realizing that he was being shown off again, Lin Zhiyuan lost his temper. He snatched Li Yan's dictionary, glanced at it, and threw it back with a scream, "If I had the ability to memorize these, what else would I say?" < br>
If you have the ability to memorize it... Li Yan remembered that before she was reborn, she was very tired of studying in high school. As a class monitor, she got the lowest score in the final exam of the first semester of high school, and was awakened by the class teacher's words.
Everything that happened later started from memorizing "3500 Commonly Used English Words in High School" during the winter vacation.
My English score jumped from the bottom to the top ten, my self-confidence was built up, and everything that followed fell into place.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The counterattack was successful, but not complete.
For him, it was just one more thing to regret on his life list.
I regret not starting to work hard early enough.
Is it early enough? In the sixth grade of elementary school, he had far surpassed Li Yan, the top student in the grade before his rebirth.
The National English Competition, which I couldn’t win before, now has a chance to try again.
The real counterattack in this life begins with memorizing English words.
There is a destiny in it!
If you focus on one thing, time will fly by.
On November 17, Saturday, Yucai Primary School, the preliminary examination room of the National English Contest for Primary School Students.
When the teacher held the pink-covered question book in his hand and showed it, some memories came to his mind.
In this golden autumn, Li Yan, who was not confident enough in his English, nervously used up all the exam time before he could finish the last question.
The fine beads of sweat on his forehead were proof of his all-out efforts, and the results did not disappoint his efforts.
Ranked first in grade and entered the semi-finals. But it also gave him a heads-up. Among the 162 students in the city who entered the semi-finals, he ranked 162nd.
In that year of Yucai Elementary School, he was the only one to enter the semi-finals.
The English teacher repeatedly told him not to be nervous, to experience the competition and not to be too concerned about gains and losses.
This made Li Yan very sad at the time. Who doesn't want to win?
Don’t be too concerned about gains and losses. It’s probably just to provide guidance for future failures in advance.
That competition made Li Yan, a sixth grader, realize that every mountain is higher than the other.
Winning the first grade in Yucai Primary School has no meaning at all. Since then, he has embarked on the path of surpassing himself.
But this time, he just wanted to do Mount Everest.
The awakening memory made him feel nervous, and the pink test book seemed to have a heavy weight.
So much so that he closed his eyes and confirmed his value:
[Total English 24]
[Total Memory 48]
This is The final result of the word memory battle in the past half month is approaching 50% of the progress bar.
Compared with Mathematical Olympiad, which has been studied for a longer period of time, word memorization can indeed improve English much faster.
This is probably the reason why he has the confidence to say that learning English is easy, but the tension in his heart is still there.
Until he exhaled a breath and opened it.
Isn’t it, that simple?
He turned over a few pages in disbelief, and indeed he didn't even see any special words.
In his eyes, this test paper is indeed the same as a simple version of the Chinese language test paper.
His hearing was not very clear, which was the biggest obstacle to him in the exam that day.
I wrote the questions too quickly. I didn’t want to be conspicuous anymore, but when I thought about the different standards for each school in this exam, the experience of failing in this pink question book, Li Yan’s pretentiousness The soul is burning.
Competition is all about presence and ability.
If you can hand in your paper one second earlier, don’t delay it for one second.
Checking answers is not necessary; comparing options is not necessary; double-checking is unnecessary.
It’s acceleration, it’s arrogance, it’s just that I can’t wait for a second. The moment I finish writing, I just drop the pen on the table:
“Bang!”
Even if you are used to Li Yan's detached presence, this sound is really shocking.
The three-hour exam took 15 minutes for listening and another 15 minutes for the test. The English teacher in charge over there was still saying, "From now on, late candidates will not be allowed in." Is it done?
The beautiful English teacher takes this competition very seriously, mainly because she has high hopes for Li Yan.
Seeing him handing in his paper so early, he was afraid that this maverick kid would not take the preliminary competition seriously and would be eliminated, so he quickly went to him and knocked on the table.
"Three hours of exam time, you need to check, this paper is not easy."
"I can hand in the paper half an hour after the exam starts, teacher?"
The English teacher didn't react and looked at his watch, "Well, half an hour has passed now. According to the regulations, you can hand in the paper."
"Then I'll hand it in."
As soon as he finished speaking, with the whole class watching in shock, Li Yan stood up and walked to the podium with the test paper in hand, solemnly flattened the test paper, and then left the classroom gracefully.
“On Saturday, you still have to play ball.”
This was meant for Lin Zhiyuan, and Lin Zhiyuan’s title book had just drawn two villains playing fierce badminton. The battle is not over yet.
Lin Zhiyuan, who did not feel the subtle anger of the English teacher, jumped up and put the blank test paper on the podium, and then chased Li Yan away.
The beautiful teacher's expression was as cold as ice. She walked up to the podium with complicated emotions and put the blank test paper aside with a sweep of her hand.
"There is no benefit in being too arrogant at such a young age. It's time to give you a little blow, Li Yan."
