Fang Kexin is a sophomore student in the School of Humanities at Kyungshu University. Last year she did not apply for CET-4 because she was not 100% sure. This year she deliberately took time to review in order to achieve high scores. In addition to reciting words and phrases every morning, she also Practice speaking in a targeted manner.
Compared with students who choose to take the exam naked, she is now full of confidence in herself.
After queuing up and entering the examination room, I found my seat and sat down. I first looked at my teammates next to me.
boys.
Good attitude.
A bit handsome.
Spoken language level unknown.
This was the keyword she gave for her first impression of Xu Yun.
Because when she looked over, the other person was also looking at her, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.
The last item in the oral test is a two-person interactive session. If there is a good teammate to control the rhythm, it will undoubtedly be very friendly to both parties.
If you really meet someone who is confused at the beginning of the exam, it is very likely that your rhythm will be disrupted.
She could tell that the other person was not nervous about this exam. Although she didn't know what her actual level was, she didn't mind giving him some guidance during the interactive session because of her relatively familiar appearance.
"Just have some fun when you meet me."
He muttered something to himself before focusing on the screen in front of him.
Her sequence number was displayed on the white window, and at the bottom were a few small blue letters waiting for the exam to begin.
Soon the page refreshed and her exam information appeared. She immediately clicked to log in to enter the exam system.
"Ready."
"Please click the Start Testing button."
"Now to test the headset and microphone, please watch the video and adjust the headset volume..."
Although Xu Yun had not specifically understood the examination process before, he was not worried at all. For him, it was just a formality.
After logging into the examination system, follow the instructions in sequence.
Until the end of the test session, a virtual proctor appeared on the screen, which also marked the official start of the oral exam.
First, introduce yourself.
Twenty seconds each.
Because Xu Yun is number one, he needs to be the first to speak.
After relying on my photographic memory to accumulate a large number of words, I almost blurt out the words without thinking about them.
"My name is..."
In the limited time, he introduced his name and learning style, and at the end he sublimated the theme with emotion. Coupled with his fluent speaking speed and standard pronunciation timbre, it is no exaggeration to say that he is perfect.
But when Xu Yun introduced himself, Fang Kexin, a teammate, was a little dumbfounded.
Originally she thought she was very well prepared, but she was instantly attracted when she heard her teammates speak.
Oh my god.
The pronunciation is too good.
That kind of magnetic English pronunciation is like finding the music you like to listen to, and you can't stop without repeating it a dozen times.
Especially when I think about my own pronunciation, compared with the other party, I am almost at the level of a primary school student.
But she soon became miserable.
Twenty seconds passed quickly, and when it was her turn to introduce, she didn't react at all.
It's like my brain is shutting down.
The words that came out of his mouth were stumbling, and he became more panicked and nervous.
His own rhythm was completely disrupted.
After barely surviving these twenty seconds, his face turned slightly pale.
After learning this lesson, she did not dare to listen to Xu Yun's voice during the following sections such as reading out essays and answering statements. Although her speaking score did not affect CET-4, she did not want her efforts during this period to go to waste. People laugh.
But in the final interactive session, when faced with questions from her teammates, she still spoke uncontrollably.
The answer was a bit choppy.
Seeing the other party's performance, Xu Yun thought that the other party must have chosen to take the naked test and was nervous.
So try to pass the topic to the other party and complete the group interaction session.
After about half an hour, Xu Yun walked out of the examination room calmly and calmly, looking nothing like he had just gone through the examination.
As for the other people who came out of the examination room, perhaps because the speaking test did not affect their Level 4 scores, their faces looked calm no matter how well they performed.
Just as he was about to return to campus, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.
"Wait a minute, classmate."
Subconsciously, he stopped and turned around to look, only to find that it was his teammate from the exam just now.
The name seems to be Fang Kexin.
Although he didn't know the purpose of the other party's call to stop him, he still waited for a while out of politeness.
"What's the matter with you, classmate?" Xu Yun asked proactively when the other party approached.
"Thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would definitely not get many points for the group interaction." Fang Kexin looked at Xu Yun, blinking her big eyes and expressing her sincere gratitude.
Xu Yun waved his hands and said in relief: "You must have taken the exam naked. It's great to have such a performance."
Fang Kexin's expression froze when he heard this.
She wanted to say that she had been reviewing it for a long time, but she finally swallowed it back.
After all, compared with other people's speaking skills, she is indeed no different from taking a naked exam.
Then she took the initiative to change the topic and asked: "My friend, your oral skills are so good, you must be a sophomore majoring in English, right?"
"I am a freshman majoring in mathematics." Xu Yun shook his head and answered truthfully.
Fang Kexin felt surprised when she heard this answer. It was really unexpected.
Department of Mathematics?
Or applying for freshman year?
Nowadays, the freshmen are so perverted. Isn’t it true that the waves from behind in the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead and slapped the seniors to death on the beach?
However, for the sake of her junior's handsome appearance, she suppressed her desire to complain and still spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'm a sophomore in the School of Humanities, but I'm your senior."
"Hello, senior sister."
"How do you practice your spoken English? Do you have time to teach your teaching sister?" Fang Kexin suddenly asked boldly.
Xu Yun didn't think too much about this, and replied seriously: "I haven't practiced."
He was right in saying this.
After all, he had only memorized words and answered questions before, and had not practiced speaking specifically.
Considering that there were professional classes in the afternoon, he stopped talking and wasting time. He apologized to the other party and then turned and walked towards the subway station on campus.
Fang Kexin looked at Xu Yun's back with a dull expression, but she didn't expect that she would be perfunctory by her junior.
She didn't think that that level of spoken English could be achieved without practicing. She originally had a good impression of her teammate, especially when he took the initiative to help her during the exam, so she chased after her after leaving the exam room to get to know her. .
In the end, this was the situation.
I stood there and looked up and down at my outfit today, and for the first time I had doubts about my appearance.
But soon she seemed to think of something, and she murmured softly in a daze.
"Xu Yun."
"Freshman in the mathematics department."
"Is it the one who published the paper a few days ago?"
"Miscalculation."
The exam system window displayed the names of both parties. At first, she was completely attracted by the other party's voice and did not think about anything else.
After learning that the other party was a freshman in the mathematics department, he matched the memory in his mind.
You must know that what happened a few days ago can be said to be the biggest hot event in the school this year. Even if they are not on the same campus, almost everyone knows about it.
Thinking that in addition to having such a high talent in the fields of mathematics and computers, her spoken English also reached a terrifying level, she felt regretful.
No matter what, you should leave your contact information. After all, such outstanding and handsome boys are rare.
I don’t know if I will have another chance to meet him in the future.
…
…
Xu Yun would not guess what the other person was thinking. He returned to the dormitory at noon and told Zhou Qi about his experience in the exam. After dinner, they returned to their regular study life in the afternoon.
For Xu Yun, this can only be regarded as a supplement during the learning process.
In the next few days, as the midterm exam was approaching, even Qian Yudong, who was not very interested in mathematics, began to often review and answer questions with advanced textbooks.
After all, he failed to pass the monthly exam last time. If he still failed in the midterm senior exam, Tang Yanshan would really not be able to pass it.
Fortunately, Xu Yun and Zhou Qi are in the dormitory, so they can ask questions at any time if they encounter difficult questions.
——
"Xu Yun, please let me imbibe your literary talent. You must ensure that I pass the exam this time."
On November 28, 2015, Qian Yudong held Xu Yun's hand in the dormitory in the morning and kept mumbling.
When he was done, he didn't forget to shout to Zhao Yuefeng next to him.
"Fengzi, don't you come and try?"
When exams are approaching, many students often hang a portrait of Conan above their bed to provide psychological comfort and protect themselves from failing the exam.
But Qian Yudong thinks these are too weak.
There is a god of learning guarding the dormitory, so there is no need to play with such homophonic jokes.
Just touching it makes my confidence soar.
Zhao Yuefeng smiled mysteriously when he heard Qian Yudong's words, pointed to the coat on his body and said: "I borrowed Brother Yun's clothes today. I can at least get an excellent grade in the morning."
"Hold the grass."
"You're such a thief."
Qian Yudong was shocked by Zhao Yuefeng's approach and wondered why he hadn't thought of using this method.
He smiled and cursed at Zhao Yuefeng, then turned around and stared at the clothes Xu Yun was wearing.
Xu Yun felt that if this method could increase their confidence, it would be good to perform better in the examination room.
But after meeting Qian Yudong's eyes, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. He subconsciously wrapped up his clothes and replied, "Quickly put your thoughts away."
"Hurry up and eat. I'm so hungry." At this time, Zhou Qi changed the subject.
Then they stopped wasting time, packed up their things, went to the restaurant to eat, and then went straight to their respective examination rooms.
Tang Yanshan did not set the questions for this exam, and it was only the content he had studied in the previous two months. It was not difficult for Xu Yun at all.
It took more than half an hour to finish everything, and then immediately raised his hand to indicate to the invigilator to hand in the paper.
"Teacher, I want to hand in my paper."
Although the candidates in the examination room all knew Xu Yun, they were still very excited when they saw the test papers finished so quickly.
Even the invigilator couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't you check it carefully."
I am afraid that if others are stimulated too much, they will all function abnormally.
But what Xu Yun said next made everyone present instantly speechless.
"Well, I made an appointment for Academician Xu's open class in the morning. If it's later, I'm afraid it will be delayed."
