"What, it's hard to understand what I said? Can't you understand?" Jiang Fuyue folded her arms, smiling half-smile.
Brother Jiang blushed: "Sister, go watch TV, I'll finish washing soon..."
Jiang Fuyue ignored her, put on her apron by herself, and stood in front of the sink: "Go and review, there is a math test tomorrow."
That's right, Jiang Chenxing's junior high school exams are in these two days. Today he took the Chinese and English exams, and there will be a math class tomorrow morning.
But this cannot be a reason for Jiang Fuyue to wash the dishes, at least in Jiang Chenxing's view.
"I've finished reviewing." He said, standing behind his sister with big eyes eagerly, wanting to take over the work directly, but afraid that Jiang Fuyue would get angry.
He can only entangle and try on the edge of advance and retreat, like a little squirrel in a daze.
"What about the interview? Are you ready?" Jiang Fuyue poured hot water and detergent.
After finishing the math test tomorrow morning, there will be a concentrated interview in the middle school of No. 1 Middle School in the afternoon.
When little brother Jiang heard this, his head drooped.
Jiang Fuyue washed the dishes, and then washed the dishes: "Why don't you talk?"
The tone is calm.
"I'm afraid..." Jiang Xiaodi pursed his lips and whispered.
"What are you afraid of?"
"There are a lot of teachers who... also ask questions..."
"You can't answer?"
Brother Jiang shook his head, nodded again, and realized that Jiang Fuyue had his back turned and couldn't see at all when he was done.
fortunately…
Otherwise, it will be said that he has committed an old problem.
"If you can't answer because you don't know how to do it, I'm not afraid," he said clearly, "but if you're nervous, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Fuyue put the clean dishes aside, turned to look at him: "Then don't be nervous."
"But I can't help it..."
"That's easy."
Ten minutes later, downstairs in the unit, Jiang Fuyue was sitting on a bench, and Jiang Chenxing stood in front of her nervously.
Not far away is the army of square dancers, and there are many neighbors walking around.
"sister… "
Jiang Fuyue: "Let me introduce myself first, in English."
"Ah?" The little squirrel knocked in bewilderment.
"Is there any problem?" Squirrel asked his sister.
"Now?"
"right."
"it's here?"
"That's right."
"...MynameisJiangChenxing, fromClass2..."
Jiang Fuyue: "Stop. Where's the greeting?"
"Oh! Goodafternoon, teachers! Mynameis..."
Jiang Fuyue listened quietly without interruption, frowned a few times in the middle, then took out her phone and started recording.
Brother Jiang visibly tensed up, and his not-so-fluent spoken language instantly became stuttering.
Jiang Fuyue never stopped, so he could only bite the bullet and continue.
Finally, "... Thank you for listening! Sister, I have finished memorizing."
"Who wrote the manuscript?" she asked.
Brother Jiang: "Myself."
"The grammar is fine, and the logic is clear enough." For primary school students, it is already quite good.
So there is basically no need to change the content, just...
"Too much accent and lack of emotion."
Brother Jiang understands the first point, but the second point...
"?" His big eyes blinked, and his eyes looked blank.
"The paragraph you just said was not like introducing yourself, but more like endorsing. The so-called interview, in the final analysis, is a kind of self-display, and language is only the most basic and common expression. To stand out, you need more advanced things, such as Demeanor, expression, body movements. Of course, you can't exaggerate, otherwise it will be awkward."
Brother Jiang understood what he heard, but he still couldn't figure out how to do it.
"Sister, teach me..." The little squirrel stopped being dazed, and shook one of her sister's fingers, her eyes sparkling.
Next, Jiang Fuyue picked out all the points in his self-introduction that could be added with "advanced expressions", and then broke it down in detail.
For example, when talking about "interests and hobbies", the tone of voice can be raised, and the expression can be richer, so that the state of the whole person will be very sunny, full of vigor and vitality.
For another example, when introducing family members, you can restrain yourself by being lively, and express a touch of happiness with a decent smile.
This shows that you grew up in a warm and well-educated family, which is also valued by many teachers.
Finally, and the most overlooked point - politeness.
"Say hello first when you enter the door, and bow when you leave."
Brother Jiang nodded: "Remember!"
Then, there is his urgent spoken English, the main reason is that he is used to being a "dumb" and practiced too little.
For a while, there is really no way to solve it from the source, and I can only correct it word by word.
Fortunately, little brother Jiang has a smart mind and strong receptivity, so it's no problem to follow the gourd.
"Sister, sister," he hopped around Jiang Fuyue's legs, "Your words are beautiful, even better than those foreigners on TV!"
"Really?" Jiang Fuyue smiled: "From now on, you can also have 20 minutes to practice oral English every day."
Brother Jiang: "?" Little question mark, do you have many friends
Jiang Fuyue: "Why, you don't want to?"
Brother Jiang: "... I am willing." After all, I carried everything alone, oh~
After finishing the self-introduction, Jiang Fuyue pointed to a stone platform in the rear right: "Stand on it."
He obeyed.
"let's start."
"?" Little brother Jiang looked blank, "What to start with?"
"Introduce yourself, speak louder."
"But... there are a lot of people here..." When he was nervous, his face turned red. This time, he might be really frightened, and his ears and neck were also flushed.
Jiang Fuyue's expression was calm, and her tone was indifferent: "I said start, don't you understand?"
Brother Jiang's heart trembled, "Sister..."
He was a little afraid of Jiang Fuyue now.
Unfortunately, the latter was unmoved: "I'll count to three, if you still don't speak, then I won't care about you anymore, I will do what I say."
"one."
"Sister..." He was about to cry.
"two."
"Mynameis..."
"Wrong! Start again!"
"Good afternoon..."
The first time I was crying, I stumbled and forgot the words, not to mention full of emotion, and I forgot the pronunciation I just corrected.
Jiang Fuyue remained expressionless: "Continue."
The second time, I stopped crying, but I still stuttered and forgot words because of nervousness, and my accent improved.
For the third time, the memorization was very smooth, the voice was still low, but I began to pay attention to the expression and body movements.
Jiang Fuyue: "Loudly."
"Good afternoon..."
"Not enough, no matter how big it is."
"Good..."
"Still not enough, last chance."
"Goodafternoon—" This time, almost shouted.
Jiang Fuyue: "Very good, keep it up."
I didn't know how many times I repeated it, and many people came forward to watch on the way, accompanied by whispering and pointing.
But Jiang Xiaodi went from being at a loss and trying to escape in a panic, to forcibly accepting and pretending to be calm, and finally he was calm and fluent in words and sentences. The whole process was like being reborn from a cocoon.
"...Sister?" This time, after he finished reciting, he looked at Jiang Fuyue without hesitation, with a hint of expectation.
Like a night traveler who has lost his way in the dark, he looks at the lighthouse in the distance, trying to get guidance.
finally-
"Well, I'm qualified."
At that moment, two clusters of flames ignited in the eyes of the little boy, and an indescribable power sprouted and began to grow wildly...
