632: If You Are Stuck in Your Throat (2 More)

Human perception is influenced by subjective meaning.

When you have a good impression, it is youthful and beautiful.

I don't like it anymore, it's annoying to see Xia Xiaolan's delicate [www.biqugew.me] dripping appearance.

"She doesn't really deserve the award, does she?"

Young comrades have not been smoothed out, and they are indignant about this kind of back door.

"Shh! Don't say it anywhere. The reputation of several judges is very good. Who wouldn't be disgusted by Director Wang doing this?"

It might have had the opposite effect.

A person like Professor Xu Guozhang, who can't rub sand in his eyes, can allow such a candidate to win an award?

The older comrade of the film crew shuddered.

For a while, he couldn't be sure of the director's intentions... If Xia Xiaolan was determined to be cheating, it would be a big scandal! For the sake of the younger generation in the family, you should keep a low profile if you want to go through the back door. Relying on the leadership of the Higher Education Division, it is a bit arrogant.

The old comrade is experienced, and Wang Guangping's "please" aroused the disgust of the judges.

A veteran like Professor Xu is not afraid of criticism, let alone the deputy director of the Department of Higher Education. Seventy years of life are rare, and he is not sure how long he can live, it doesn't matter whether he has risen in career or not. As the first batch of doctoral supervisors at the Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Institute, the 70-year-old Professor Xu has no further pursuits.

Back at school, Xu Guozhang asked people to bring the top 20 exam papers.

This is Xu Guozhang's home court. The examination team is all Xu Guozhang's juniors. It is very easy for him to read the examination papers.

The other two judges followed Xu Guozhang and turned over Xia Xiaolan's papers.

"Elder Xu, this student is from Huaqing."

That's right.

Xu Guozhang carefully checked Xia Xiaolan's papers.

There is nothing to see in the multiple-choice questions, and the right and wrong are clear at a glance. There is no rule of right or wrong, the composition is well written, and there is no problem with the score of the paper. No matter how harsh Xu Guozhang is, if he scores the composition with stricter standards, he will at most give 1 point less.

Given 1 point less, Xia Xiaolan is exactly 20th and can still enter the oral exam.

Xu Guozhang wouldn't do such a thing either. He deliberately picked faults in his eggs and deducted more points from a certain student, just to get her out of the top 20.

However, regardless of it, what Director Wang said was still stuck in his throat.

"It's okay, I'll take a look."

The marking team breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was something wrong with Xia Xiaolan's papers.

There were 5 judges in the finals, including Xu Guozhang, who were all members of the "Committee for the Editing and Review of Foreign Language Teaching Materials in Colleges and Universities", and Xu Guozhang was the leader of this committee.

This editorial committee hangs under the Department of Higher Education and belongs to a senior expert consulting agency. The syllabus of college English is drafted by the committee, and those who can follow Xu Guozhang to serve as judges are all people of the same level.

One of the remaining two judges is Zhan Aiqun from the Department of Higher Education.

The other is Catherine, a British expert from CCTV. Catherine is familiar and loved by Chinese audiences because of the broadcast of "Followme". If an Englishman is invited as a judge, the first English competition will be more convincing.

There was nothing wrong with Xia Xiaolan's score, and Xu Guozhang did not clear up her doubts.

With the relationship of Director Wang, it is also possible to get the test questions in advance. Since Director Wang can shamelessly ask everyone to take care of him, Xu Guozhang has reason to suspect that Director Wang has done more elsewhere.

Take the name of the English competition?

I am afraid that the real purpose is to be an exchange student, and even further "study abroad at public expense".

Xu Guozhang was abruptly indifferent to Section Chief Zhan, but he felt that Section Chief Zhan must have been greeted by Chief Wang beforehand. Both of them were colleagues of the Department of Higher Education.

"Have a good competition, and you will be miserable."

A judge suddenly whispered.

If this matter is not strictly investigated, how can it be fair to other students, and the deputy director of the Department of Higher Education can't cover the sky with one hand?

It's not enough just to prevent cheaters from taking the rank. Huaqing students can cheat?

If you find out, you should be severely punished.

If you cheat in English competitions, will you cheat in other people's exams too?

"The class of '84, that is, the freshman."

Counting the 200 college students who entered the finals, there are no more than 3 freshmen!

Xia Xiaolan was the only freshman who entered the top 20, and the three judges, including Xu Guozhang, were silent.

Xu Guozhang was old and qualified, and he had no worries.

"Ask Huaqing, and call up this Xia Xiaolan's file to have a look."

If Xia Xiaolan's excellence was built on the basis of "cheating", Xu Guozhang would not be willing to cover her up.

...

Into the top 20!

Xia Xiaolan was not nervous about the oral exam. Now many people are learning dumb English. Xia Xiaolan learned it for work in her previous life. From when she was a salesman, in order to understand the equipment instructions, to communicating with foreign manufacturers later, she was very good. A lot of hard work. The purpose of learning English is to use it, and Xia Xiaolan feels that her oral English is not bad.

Teacher Lin was very happy, and Professor He encouraged Xia Xiaolan and Zhong Cai again and again.

The camera crew of the TV station came with the machine.

"First of all, congratulations to the two students from Huaqing University who entered the oral exam. Can you introduce yourself to the audience?"

The red light of the camera is on

, indicating that it has entered the shooting session.

Zhong Cai needs to be a little nervous, mainly because the film crew came suddenly, carrying the machine and heading straight in this direction, the goal is very clear.

I'm nervous, but I'm already prepared for the finals to be recorded by a TV station. It's not easy to introduce myself. I've already said the Chinese version, and I can also come up with an English version!

When it was Xia Xiaolan's turn, she simply said a few words.

After finishing speaking, the reporter of the film crew seemed to have nothing to say and asked:

"Student Xia, what is the purpose of your competition?"

It's no use asking. At that time, I won glory for myself and the school. Later, when I learned that there were exchange student places, Xia Xiaolan wanted to win the award even more. But Xia Xiaolan definitely couldn't answer like this, she faced the camera seriously:

"...Thank you, I think the competition is about participation, and we can gain something more important than the result in this process."

This is not a nonsense. The competitive Xia Xiaolan has continued to improve during this time, and her own English level has indeed improved. If there was no obstacle to free communication before, now it is no problem to leave her to study in an English-speaking country,

For some reason, Xia Xiaolan found that the reporter's expression was a bit weird.

It seemed like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't swallow or spit.

Is she right?

Obviously a very standard answer.

Or get dirty stuff on your face?

The results will be announced at 1:00 noon, and the recording of the oral test will take place at 2:00.

The TV station set up a temporary studio in the foreign language college, which was easy enough, and also let other students who did not make the top 20 as viewers. Of course, teachers from the school can also go in and watch the finals.

Xia Xiaolan followed the others and was taken backstage to do some simple makeup. She didn't need to change her clothes or anything. Makeup was unavoidable if she wanted to watch her spirits on TV.

Ji Jiangyuan was also in the audience. Before he could find his seat when he came back from the toilet, he heard two people whispering. What care, Xia Xiaolan and Huaqing, these keywords made Ji Jiangyuan's attention instantly focused. When he saw it, the two people who were mumbling seemed to be from the camera crew—what's going on? !
