After the last class, the students in the class left one after another.
Thanks, I stayed with another girl on duty.
Because I just changed classes this morning, there are a lot of messy things on the ground. Thank you, I took the broom and cleaned it again, and set up the tables and chairs again, and an hour passed before I knew it.
At this time, most of the people on the campus had already left. Only the third graders had to make up lessons tomorrow, and they had to study by themselves at night, and the lights in the classroom were still on.
Thank you, I packed up my things and left a special door for the girl who was on duty with her to take out the trash and get in smoothly before leaving the classroom.
The corridor was empty and silent.
She was not walking fast, and the sound of her footsteps echoed slowly.
I thought there would be no one in the first grade, but when I passed the key science class next door, I found that the lights were still on and there was a boy sitting by the window.
The boy is wearing a pair of white headphones, with a straight body, and is reading an English test paper.
She approached and saw that the boy was He Lin.
He Lin held a black pen between his fingertips, frowned, and twirled his fingers. It seems that I have encountered some difficulties and have not written for a long time.
Thank you, surprised that he hadn't left yet, paused for a moment, originally wanted to leave just like that, but thought that he was still riding a bicycle to send her to school on Monday, and she didn't have time to say thank you to him this week. After thinking for a while, he still walked up and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
He Lin raised his head when he heard the sound.
Seeing that it was her, she didn't seem surprised at all, she just slightly raised her eyebrows, took off the earphones, raised the test paper in her hand, and said, "Listen to listening."
Thank you. I followed his pointing, and saw that he was holding the English test paper for this sub-subject examination.
The English teacher just talked about this test paper not long ago, thank you, I made a lot of notes, and I only understand it. She asked, "Is your English not good either?"
The tone is very empathetic.
He Lin bowed his head and smiled slightly, without admitting or denying, straightened up and leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and said, "It happens that my audio is broken, and I can't hear a passage very clearly, can you read it for me?"
His finger was on a passage of listening text, and he looked at her for help.
Thank you for silence: "..."
How to say her English is not very good
Her eyes were on that line of sentences. The sentence structure was not too complicated, but it was full of unfamiliar words.
Thank you, I really wanted to refuse, but facing He Lin's trusting eyes, I was a little speechless for a moment.
After a while, he spoke slowly and said, "I'll try."
He Lin happily handed her the test paper.
Thanks, I reached out to take it, and then I tried to read the beginning, but I got stuck:
"Joe Sestak, the navy admi..."
The girl's voice was soft, as if it was covered with a layer of thick icing sugar, and the long ending made the sweetness of the air linger for a long time.
Her English is not good, but her pronunciation is quite standard. Hearing that he was not very interested, he stopped leisurely and asked him: "How do you pronounce this word?"
He Lin took a look, the phonetic notation was accurate, and the pronunciation was pure: "admiral, admiral."
Xie nodded and continued: "...admiral and..." After a pause, he asked again: "What about this one?"
He Lin: "Congressman, member of Congress."
"Oh... this..."
"Convene, convene."
…
Thank you, without realizing it, I asked word by word, and finally managed to read this complicated and obscure sentence.
He Lin took back the test paper and thanked her. Just when she was about to say goodbye, she sent out an invitation without warning: "Tomorrow morning, I'm going to practice English downstairs in the community, do you want to come with me?"
Thanks for the surprise, he stopped unconsciously and asked, "What?"
He Lin said: "I need someone to accompany me to practice listening. If you read in my ear, you will learn faster."
Thank you, I don't understand: "Isn't there an English audio file?" Every set of textbooks issued by the school has a matching audio software behind it.
He Lin said: "That pronunciation is not standard, and it is different from the pronunciation in the human-computer test."
The pronunciation of the textbook is not standard, so is her pronunciation standard
Thank you, I can't understand it, and I don't understand what He Lin meant by asking this question. She has no ability to help him practice English well. I don't even think that I have gotten to know him well enough. Without much thought, he refused: "I don't have time, you should find someone else."
However, He Lin was not in a hurry, and suddenly asked, "Does your mother know about this sub-examination?"
Thanks keep your eyes open.
He said: "She should be very concerned about whether you have been assigned to the key class."
He Lin was right.
Although Xie Xie's parents didn't control her strictly, they still cared about her academic performance very much. They didn't say anything, but thank you, they knew that their parents very much hoped that she could be assigned to the key class this time.
Thank you and asked: "What are you talking about?"
He Lin was very frank, smiled brightly, and said, "You help me practice listening, and I will teach you to memorize English words. In the next final exam, I guarantee that you will be in the top forty of the grade."
Thank you, I was a little moved, but I still asked: "Can't I learn English by myself?"
He Lin: "I got 53 points?"
Thanks: "..."
How did he know?
Even so, after thinking about it carefully, this matter really didn't do her any harm. If she could really get into the key class, she wouldn't have to listen to Xu Nian whispering in her ear all day long.
After thinking for a long time, thank you and finally nodded slowly.
"good."
The smile on He Lin's lips stretched, his eyes raised his thumbs and scratched Qingjun's eyebrows, and said: "Then, at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, wait for me in the flower garden downstairs in the community."
I thanked him and said yes, and confirmed with him what I would bring tomorrow, before I was able to leave.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but before leaving, Xie Xie seemed to have caught a glimpse of a corner of the English test paper on Helin's desk.
In the upper left blank space, the red signature pen prominently reads——
130.
On Saturday morning, Xie Xie got up extra early.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, and changing into a set of clothes, he sat at the desk and wrote a math test paper. At 7:00, go downstairs on time.
At this time, people in the community have not yet started to go to work, and they are all people who go for morning jogging and exercise.
The flower garden mentioned by Helin is on the west side of the community. There is a large gazebo with some small fitness equipment beside it. People often exercise there. It had just rained last night, and there was fresh dew in the air.
When he arrived, He Lin was doing morning exercises with a horizontal bar.
He was tall and stretched out his upper limbs, which made him appear taller and taller.
Hold the crossbar tightly with both hands, retract the traction force of the back, and effortlessly go up one by one.
About the fifteenth time, seeing Xie Lie coming, he let go of his hands and jumped off the horizontal bar, walked forward and said, "Here we come."
Thank you and nodded.
He Lin asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've eaten." Her mother gets up at six o'clock every morning to make breakfast.
He Lin felt relieved, took out a booklet from his back pocket, handed it to her and said, "Then read the first one to me first."
So fast? Thank you, I didn't react a bit, "Here?"
"Yeah." He Lin tilted his mouth, his handsome face showed a bit of casualness and laziness from getting up early, "It's quiet here."
Thanks looking around, it does.
Surrounded by adults who get together to work out, or aunts who dance in the square with their waists slender.
She didn't say much, so she just took the booklet from He Lin.
This exercise book is a little different from the ones issued by the school. It has no source or author, and is simply bound with book needles. Inside are English articles printed in ink page by page. Wide coverage, easy to layer.
As if handmade by yourself.
But since he wants to practice English, there is nothing wrong with making it by himself.
Thank you for thinking so.
Thank you. Open the first page, it is an article on dolphins, and the characteristics and habits of dolphins are introduced at the beginning. She said it silently in her heart, it didn't seem difficult.
So I said: "In the 1960s, a group of researchers..."
However, she lacks vocabulary, and she always encounters words she doesn't understand halfway through reading.
"Immerse, immerse." He Lin reminded in a low voice.
“… immerse him completely… ”
Whenever a thank you got stuck, He Lin would always know what she couldn't do.
It's as if I've memorized the entire article.
"extraordinary, extraordinary."
"Margaret, Margaret, is a person's name."
…
What followed were his reminders and thanks for the stuttering reading aloud.
Until Xie Xie finished reading this article, there were more and more people downstairs in the community.
He Lin pulled up the zipper in front of him and asked her, "Do you remember everything?"
Thanks for the ignorance, but still nodded.
"Okay." He Lin said, "I'll go for a run first. When I come back from running, I'll ask you the meaning of these words one by one."
"..."
Thanks: ? ?
But before thanking him for any reaction, He Lin put on his sportswear hat after saying these words, set foot on the path and ran away.
He left and thanked one person, and looked at his back, deeply in doubt.
the two of them,
Who is helping whom?
