637: Advanced Selling Misfortune and Sending Scores (3 More)
Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction has no particularly difficult words and is not gorgeous.
Compared with her appearance, this self-introduction is even too simple.
But why, so attractive?
Even Catherine looked at Xia Xiaolan more. Xia Xiaolan said a few short words, not complaining, not sensational, not making everyone laugh, but simply describing her way of learning English to everyone.
The picture is so strong!
When I closed my eyes, it seemed that I could see a rural girl reading a broken English dictionary lovingly.
Regardless of the judges or the audience, everyone is too naive. I don't know that there is a kind of self-introduction that includes "selling misery". The low-level selling misery is the crying sister-in-law of Xianglin, and the high-level selling miserable is the bitterness that you have to laugh at. Speaking out, Mrs. Xianglin was annoying, but the latter was easy to move.
What Xia Xiaolan said was not false.
It's just that it happened in a previous life. After graduating from college, she became a salesman because of business relationships and began to make up for English.
At that time, it was the millennium. In fact, English cram schools were blooming everywhere. There were too many ways to improve English. Xia Xiaolan could only choose the most primitive and old way. Well, after two years of study, I may have accumulated enough foundations. After two years, I have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du. The English level has improved by leaps and bounds, and poverty is at work.
It's her real experience, and she doesn't feel guilty when she speaks.
What is Xia Xiaolan's mouth? Engage in sales!
Selling is not about being rude, but about gaining the trust of customers. Now the judges are the customers, and the product Xia Xiaolan wants to sell is herself.
Xu Guozhang thought to himself: What he said was correct with the archives.
As for memorizing the dictionary to the top 20 in the National College English Contest, Xu Guozhang cannot arbitrarily deny that everyone has different talents and different levels of effort.
This paragraph of self-introduction is very smooth, it is worthwhile to prepare in advance, where is the pitch.
Some students can get full marks in the English test, but when they say it with one mouth, they suddenly stutter, but Xu Guozhang can barely understand it even after guessing.
Xia Xiaolan said nothing more or less, exactly 5 minutes.
Catherine looked at the information in her hand and couldn't help but ask:
"You're a freshman, aren't you? Last year, you got a perfect score on the English paper in the college entrance examination. You must know that even in the UK, this is not easy to do, and you are still a rural student. If you want to learn English well in rural areas, it is even more difficult. Difficult."
Catherine is not exaggerating, that in China, many people can't get full marks in the language test.
"Yes, Mr. Katherine, I am a freshman in Huaqing. The college entrance examination is just an exam. I can get full marks with my own efforts and a little luck, but that's all in the past. I think it's more important. It’s about grasping the moment.”
Of course, there is luck in getting 100 points in the test.
Even if the multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions are all right, if the teacher who marks the exam does not like the composition written by Xia Xiaolan and insists on deducting 1 point or even 0.5 points for her, what can Xia Xiaolan do?
Xia Xiaolan answered very pertinently.
Zhan Aiqun also wanted to ask a question to give Xia Xiaolan a chance to perform, but thinking of getting to know Xia Xiaolan, she forcibly held back.
After digging it out, it was also talked about, why take the risk, Xia Xiaolan has performed very well so far.
The host roughly translated Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction. This was not for the audience to listen to, but for the effect of playing on TV later.
Without translation, how can ordinary audiences understand?
Offstage, after listening to the translation, Grandma Zhou immediately said to Guan Huimo:
"It's not easy for this girl Xiaolan. She can still learn so well if her study conditions are not good. Compared with her, Zhou Yi and others are not working hard enough."
Of course, Zhou Cheng doesn't count. Grandma Zhou is the most partial to her grandson.
Her eldest grandson joined the army at the age of 15, and the culture class was almost excusable. Cheng Min and Gu Siyan were still studying, not to mention that Zhou Yi, the eldest granddaughter, was not a good role model. The Zhou family provided such good conditions. , Zhou Yi can still learn so bad... It's really disappointing to have no ambition.
Guan Huimo nodded casually.
Fortunately, sister-in-law and Zhou Yi didn't hear this, otherwise they would have to be careful.
Guan Huimo hasn't recovered from the wonderful past that Xia Xiaolan explained last time, and Zhan Aiqun is sending tickets and calling to say that he has entered the final of the oral exam.
When talking to Grandma Zhou, Grandma Zhou was indeed more excited than she was, and Guan Huimo thought to herself, this is not for her to come, but to accompany the old man.
Hearing Xia Xiaolan say that she was learning English by memorizing words over and over with an old dictionary, Guan Huimo thought the same as Grandma Zhou, no wonder she couldn't bear it. Yes, no one is rich these days. There are no old dictionaries that are poorer than Xia Xiaolan, and they can't even learn it. Not to mention learning English, it's even worse - but those people are not in front of Guan Huimo. Huang, Guan Huimo doesn't know either, she must think Xia Xiaolan is not easy.
Teacher Lin and Professor He in the audience, including Ji Jiangyuan who was eliminated, all knew Xia Xiaolan's self-introduction.
Listening during practice is different from listening during the finals.
There is an advantage to standing at the top. Others will listen carefully to whatever you say. Xia Xiaolan, a high-level sellout, can really touch people.
Ji Jiangyuan was thinking at this moment: Ning Xue is a well-deserved genius, what is the difference between Xia Xiaolan and Ning Xuebi? What kind of resources did Ning Xue enjoy since she was a child, and she could go abroad in high school. At the same age, Xia Xiaolan was afraid that she was still reading her broken dictionary!
On stage, it's time for the second session.
Listen to a short passage and retell the whole story.
The audience was silent, no audience would disturb Xia Xiaolan to listen to this story at such a time.
The more you listen, the more strange, the familiar names of "Melanie" and "Scarlett", the long-length masterpiece "Gone with the Wind", the plot is compressed into a short article. After the broadcast is over, Xia Xiaolan is asked to retell this short article by herself, her mind is telling the operation, where should I start?
The judges are watching her.
Catherine and Zhan Aiqun are very strange, this is not the topic prepared before.
Why did you change this question temporarily?
"Xia Xiaolan, please retell for us the story you just heard."
As an upright science girl, Xia Xiaolan's literary quality is really not high, but she still watched "Gone with the Wind". The short article just now introduced the plot of "Gone with the Wind", but it was a dry description.
According to the translation, it will definitely be finished.
Xia Xiaolan said according to the "Gone with the Wind" she had read:
"In 1861, Scarlett, a young girl living in the southern United States, was deeply influenced by southern cultural traditions since she was a child, but wild rebellion wandered in her blood..."
The author of "Gone with the Wind" has sharpened his sword for ten years, and has only published this novel in his life. Even under this stage, there are very few college students who can reach the top 200 in the country in the English competition, and the teachers who take them to the competition, who have not read the original work.
Why does this question seem to be giving points to Xia Xiaolan?
The old comrades of the TV station also had doubts. Director Wang is really so powerful that even Professor Xu Guozhang's position has been shaken? !
