I Teach Kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 35: No one knows English better than me

Views:

Kazuma is unaware of the chatter between the two old men in Kabukicho.

He has one last class left.

Because something happened in the morning about the advance hope questionnaire, Kazuma was ridden in the face by Yoichi Yamada, and he was very upset, so he listened very carefully to the class today.

Although he felt that compared to the college entrance examination, the exam here in Japan is easier, but the problem is that he didn't cross over after finishing his third year of high school.

He did not time travel until many years after the college entrance examination.

Wanting to take the University of Tokyo exam without reviewing at all is like a dream.

So you must listen to the class carefully.

Hema felt weird when he thought that he had just beaten the big boss, but now he was obediently being a good student, listening to the class and copying notes carefully.

During the class break, the news that the crane tail of Class B of the third year was going to take the University of Tokyo exam spread throughout the third grade, and even going to the toilet with Ma would attract a lot of attention.

The instigator of all this, Yoichi Yamada, even ran to the vicinity of Kazuma as soon as he arrived at the break, and chatted loudly with his small group, talking all about "Oh, last time I took the mock exam in the cram school, the deviation value is **. Even if you want to go to the University of Tokyo with this deviation, it is very dangerous and you have to settle for the next best thing."

and so on.

A few times Kazuma wanted to pick up the bamboo sword directly, and called Yamada Yoichi in the face.

But he changed his mind, since the other party laughed at him academically, he should beat the other party academically.

When the results come out, Kazuma will wrap the test paper with a higher score than Yamada Yoichi on the bamboo knife, and then slap Yamada Yoichi's head hard.

So He Ma endured it.

Now Jidao is still waiting and watching. Although I don’t know how long it will be waiting and watching, there should be a relatively peaceful time. I have to take this opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of Japanese education. The time outside of the classroom should be used to practice Kendo. There is a high probability. I don't have much time to study, so I can only work harder in class.

But if there is a chance to show his hand and beat Yoichi Yamada's arrogance, Kazuma is also very welcome.

He had never looked forward to a test as soon as he was now.

The best is math or English.

The Japanese history test is also available, and Ma is quite familiar with Japanese history, especially the history of the Warring States Period.

But don't come to the Chinese test.

Kazuma's Japanese level is the same as that of the original owner Kiryu Kazuma, at the end of the whole class.

After all, the Japanese in Mama's life is only at the level of a three-legged cat, and he knows Ouni sauce, a pair of pants, and nothing.

But there is only the last class left today, and it looks like today's plan to use the quiz results to ride Yamada Yoichi is going to fail.

After the preparatory bell rang, Kazuma looked out the window, imagining the scene when the University of Tokyo announced the rankings for the first time.

University enrollment in Japan is very different from that in China.

In order to enter a university in Japan, one must first pass a national examination similar to the high school graduation examination in January.

Only when you meet the score line in this test can you be eligible to apply for the school you want to go to.

The real test is after you sign up. After that, what awaits the candidates is that the school that applied for the test will write the questions and prepare for the test in the test room by itself.

All public and national universities will take the exam on the same day, so in theory, the Japanese university entrance examination is a one-way process. If you go to the University of Tokyo, it is impossible to take other national universities.

If you want to choose a second-class university as in China, it is not impossible, but you can only choose a private one. In theory, it is impossible for national and public schools to be regarded as a bottom-up school.

And the tuition fees of private universities in Japan are really scary.

The Kiryu family may not even be able to afford the tuition of a national university, so going to a private school... that can only be sold by Chiyoko.

Although the series of troubles Kiryu's family encountered now were all caused by Chiyoko, Kazuma had already beaten her up, which made her deeply reflect on her mistakes. The two brothers and sisters fought side by side yesterday. As a result, Chiyoko saved Kazuma's life yesterday.

So He Ma didn't want such a good sister to encounter any bad things at all.

The past is irreversible, and it is time to consider how to achieve the best outcome in the current situation.

Selling the dojo, using the money to invest, and being admitted to the University of Tokyo with your ability—this is the best solution at present.

After graduating from the University of Tokyo, Kazuma will be a newly promoted rich man and a member of the former wave.

In order to achieve this optimal solution, be it kendo or academics, both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard.

He Ma was making up his mind secretly, and the English teacher entered the classroom.

When He Ma saw the stack of things in the English teacher's hand, he immediately burst into joy.

Quiz in class!

The English teacher put down the stack of papers in his hand, and pushed his glasses: "Let's do a quiz, one class time. Chairman, come, hand out the papers."

The squad leader stood up, went to the podium, took the papers, and began to distribute them.

He Ma is already gearing up.

He was a senior business representative of a foreign trade company in his previous life, okay? My daily job is to brag to foreigners and to brag about the products I represent.

English is his ability to eat, and the performance awards and year-end awards all depend on it.

The paper was quickly sent to He Ma.

He glanced quickly and grinned.

At this time, he heard Yamada Yoichi muttering at the same table with him: "The end of the crane saw the paper and smiled. Could it be that he didn't know how to do any of them, so he gave up?"

"I can't, I guess I just did a similar question?"

Regardless of them, Hema wrote vigorously.

Time passed quickly, Hema filled in the last blank, looked up at the time: there were still more than ten minutes before get out of class was over.

He Ma subconsciously planned to pick up the paper and hand in the paper and leave—no matter in college or high school, He Ma likes to hand in the paper and leave immediately after finishing the paper, because he is very strange. Changed to wrong, it is better not to check.

Just when He Ma was about to stand up gracefully, slap the paper and leave on the podium, he came to his senses.

This is Japan. Although you can hand in the papers in advance, it will make teachers and classmates feel that there is something wrong with you.

So He Ma decided to take a nap on the table.

Not long after he lay down on the table, the teacher knocked his head with the textbook: "Kiryu-kun! Please take the exam seriously!"

He got up with the horse, glanced at the teacher, and smiled: "I took it seriously, I finished writing."

The teacher frowned and stared at Kazuma, and Hema responded frankly to the teacher's gaze.

He picked up the test paper suspiciously, and started to read from the first question...

Then, He Ma saw an entry appearing on the head of the English teacher: Daydream

After He Ma focused his attention, the expanded entry explained: I must be in a dream.

—Damn chicken, what a scumbag the original owner is, it scares the teacher so much that he doubts life.

It took less than a minute for the English teacher to read all the papers—it wasn't that he read them quickly, but the paper itself was very short.

Hema is used to the super-long paper that can be folded several times in his previous life and has densely packed characters.

The test paper in Japan is only one folio, and the characters are really big.

He and the horse are fast, and the teacher is also fast.

The English teacher put the paper back in front of Hema, and then turned to look at the paper of the girl on Hema's right-theoretically, the position of this girl is the easiest for Hema to copy.

However, the girl hadn't finished writing, so it was obviously impossible for He Ma to copy her answer.

The English teacher turned his gaze to Hema again, and asked seriously, "You... did you go to tutoring during the winter vacation?"

He Ma was about to share the story he just made up with the teacher to explain why he suddenly became violent, but the teacher shook his head to himself: "No, no cram school can make you change like this. You..."

He Ma is now a little looking forward to what the teacher will think of his suddenly reborn English level.

But obviously, the teacher's brain is running out of memory.

"You... uh... you did a good job," said the teacher, "but in order to prove that you did this 100-point test yourself, I want you to interpret what I said now."

Then the teacher babbled.

He Ma frowned.

He heard Yoichi Yamada laughing loudly.

Probably the core figure of the class decided that Kazuma was going to make a fool of himself.

And Ma was also embarrassed.

His English is very good, especially his oral English, which is invincible. But the problem is that the Japanese language is too bad.

The English education of the Japanese is to "localize" the English pronunciation with Japanese phonetic symbols, and use this method to reduce the difficulty of English learning.

Anyone who has watched Jet Li's version of "Once Upon a Time" knows that there is a stalk called "Love Tiger Oil", which is actually the earthy pronunciation of I-LOVE-YOU.

The English education system of the Japanese is equivalent to taking "love tiger oil" as the standard pronunciation.

The English teacher's Japanese-style English, and Ma Ma's English level, which can chat and laugh with foreigners in his life, is more than half of him.

The only thing I understood was the last sentence, which seemed to say that a star shines on a boat...

Yamada Yang shouted: "Teacher, don't embarrass him, you read so fast, I can't understand..."

The class monitor scolded: "Yamada! It's still in class, don't make any noise!"

He Ma glanced at the monitor, and then he couldn't help sighing, the monitor is really a beautiful girl... Wait a minute!

And horse inspiration came.

After seeing the class monitor in the morning, he tried to read poems to describe her beauty, to see if he could get a buff state.

Reading poetry

The mysterious combination of rhythms that the teacher just read, could it be an English poem

Stars, shine on boats? The pronunciation of the enigma at the back probably means winter night, right

You are like a lone star whose light shines across a small boat in the waves of a winter night.

This is Shelley's "To Wordsworth", the favorite of young literary and artistic youths.

Even though Kazuma looks vulgar and uneducated after becoming a senior business representative, who hasn't pretended to be a literary youth a few times when he was young

So he cleared his throat with Ma, and recited the passage that the teacher had just recited again in standard American English.

In fact, he wanted to recite the whole poem to pretend to be aggressive, but it was a pity that He Ma could only recite the upper and lower sentences of the most famous line in the whole poem.

After reciting Hema, I looked at the state above the teacher's head, and found that the daydream entry had disappeared, and it was replaced by "I am ashamed".

-Huh? Like, overdone? It's better to restrain yourself and give the teacher a step down...

He Ma thought so in his heart, but he opened his mouth and said, "Teacher, your pronunciation is not good. It took me a lot of effort to recognize that it was Shelley's poem."
