zero second lore

Chapter 273 try me
Lu Yuan randomly found a seat and sat down. Classrooms in the United States are all single-person, single-table. After all, the population is not as large as in China, and the desks are very small with no drawers. The textbook only has an English book, and there are no workbooks or test papers. of.

Lu Yuan flipped through the English textbook Ms. Popper gave him. It was an old used book with a letter inside the cover: G. I don't know who used it.

Because it is already the second semester of the school year, many foreign students have already passed the language test and started to go to school formally.

Currently there are only two kinds of people who are still in the language class, one is Lu Yuan, who switched to the school halfway to study, and the other is the one who has not passed the language class after a semester.

The second situation is not uncommon in the United States, especially in places like Los Angeles where there are many foreign students.

Some children who came to the United States to study in high school or even junior high school left the discipline of their parents and went to American high schools with a relaxed teaching environment.

The boy who Lu Yuan saw just now came to the classroom to read was one of them, but he didn't seem to relax in his study, on the contrary he worked very hard.

After a while, students from other language classes came to the classroom. They all found Lu Yuan, a new face, but there was no other reaction except for giving him a look. They all found their seats and sat down. Some are playing mobile phones.

Lu Yuan thought that American students were very enthusiastic and the campus would be very lively. Before coming here, he thought about how to introduce himself and communicate with others in English, but he didn’t know that the language class was much more boring than the class in Lizhong.

Lu Yuan observed for a while, including him in the class, there are 7 people in total, four of them are yellow-skinned. Judging from their appearance, there should be two Chinese and one Korean besides him.

Although they are all of yellow race, people from China, Japan and South Korea are still easy to distinguish from their faces. The girl sitting next to the bed can tell that she is from the Korean Peninsula by looking at her appearance. She has a single eyelid and a big pie face, and her skin is very white. , a student head with a shawl and glasses, looks like a good student.

There are two Chinese people, a man and a woman. The boy is the first to come to the classroom to study. The girl is a small girl with a ponytail. She has makeup on her face and thick eyeliner. She sits in the classroom after entering the classroom. Play on your phone.

The other three people, one is black, and he looks like he is from Africa. He is black and shiny, with a round face, curly hair, and a chubby face. He is the only one who smiles at Lu Yuan after he enters the classroom. His teeth are really white when he smiles. brilliant.

There are two other boys who seem to be from the Middle East, but they are dressed like ordinary people, wearing thick down jackets, and they look very afraid of the cold.

The two boys were brought into the classroom by Ms. Popper, and they should be the same as Lu Yuan, students who came to the United States to study this semester.

In this way, a small language class of seven people is all here. Such a class is not even as large as a small group in a Chinese high school class.

The teacher who taught them was Ms. Popper. He first asked the new students to introduce themselves.

Naturally, Lu Yuan volunteered to stand up again, babbled a lot, he didn't understand what he said, and finally wrote his Chinese name and pinyin letters on the whiteboard.

And the two Middle Eastern boys didn't seem to speak English much better than Lu Yuan, and when they spoke English, they sounded like Arabic, and their tongues couldn't be straightened.They wrote their names on the blackboard. Lu Yuan didn't understand, so he wrote in English. Lu Yuan checked it on his mobile phone, and found out that the taller one was called Abdullah Mansour, and the smaller one was called Abdullah Mansour. Abduk Mansour, apparently a pair of brothers, his father named Mansour.

After introducing the new students, it was Aunt Popper's turn to start the class. The aunt first talked about the importance of the language class, and then talked about the time and content of the language test, and hoped that everyone can pass it smoothly.

Anyway, sitting there, Lu Yuan couldn't understand, because Popper's speech was really fast, and he had a strong American accent, and Chinese high schools all learn British English, which made Lu Yuan very uncomfortable.

Soon, among the seven students in the class, the two Middle Eastern boys began to be absent-minded, the Korean girl and the Chinese girl were playing with their mobile phones all the time, the Chinese boy was just reading, and only Lu Yuan and the African kid were listening to the class seriously.

Lu Yuan did not quite understand at first, but his concentration did not become distracted because of incomprehension. On the contrary, his mind became more and more concentrated. Every word Popper said went through his brain, thinking, processing, and memorizing .

There is no shortcut to language learning. When the first class in the morning was over, Lu Yuan felt that he could already understand some of the words Popper said. If he guessed the meaning based on the words, he could roughly understand what she was saying.

After class, Lu Yuan took the initiative to talk to the Chinese boy and asked his name.

The boy looked at Lu Yuan, did not answer, but turned to the first page of the textbook, on which his name was written: Chu Yuanliang.

"Wow, Chu Yuanliang, your name is so domineering!"

Lu Yuan felt that the name was like an ancient general, but looking at Chu Yuanliang, he was thin and small, with a pot head, wearing a big black coat, taciturn, and a breath of embarrassment came to his face.

"Why don't you speak?" Lu Yuan asked.

Only then did Chu Yuanliang speak: "What's there to say?"

"We are all Chinese, where are you from?"

Chu Yuanliang gave Lu Yuan a supercilious look, picked up the book and continued to read, completely ignoring Lu Yuan's enthusiasm.

Lu Yuan scratched his head and felt very depressed. Finally, there was a Chinese who wanted to talk to him, but he ignored him.

At this time, someone patted Lu Yuan on the back, and Lu Yuan looked back, it was the Chinese girl with makeup.

"Hi, my name is Gu Zimei, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang."

The girl took the initiative to introduce herself, and Lu Yuan hurriedly greeted her.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan knew that this girl came to the United States last year. Before that, she studied in a language school in Los Angeles, but she failed the exam. Later, she transferred to Wilson High School and took the language class directly, preparing to pass the language exam this semester, and started to go to school here. .

Lu Yuan asked about the difficulty of the language test, Gu Zimei curled her lips and said, "The language test is actually not difficult."

"Then why didn't you pass it?" Lu Yuan's words were always so direct and sharp.

Gu Zimei glared at Lu Yuan, and said: "Because I didn't study hard, there are too many interesting things in America."

After thinking about it, Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, because he thought of basketball, and he came to America to play basketball.

Gu Zimei seemed to have misunderstood what Lu Yuan meant, and asked, "Add my contact information, and I will take you to a fun place tonight?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I have something important tonight."

Gu Zimei was rejected by Lu Yuan, but she didn't care, and returned to her seat to continue playing with her mobile phone.

The classroom of the language class is on the third floor of the main teaching building, and there are other classrooms around. After class, you can hear noisy footsteps and talking outside the door. They are changing the classroom.

The break time between classes was very short, only 5 minutes. The second class was listening class. Ms. Popper gave everyone a wireless headset and started playing the recording for listening and reading training.

This was not difficult for Lu Yuan. Although his mind was full of sports activities in the afternoon, he still completed the listening and reading training very seriously.

There are four classes in the morning, each class lasts five to ten minutes, and after school at 10:11, it’s time for lunch.

All four classes were related to English, this class really made Lu Yuan dizzy, and he just waited for a good meal at noon.

The cafeteria of Wilson High School is similar to that of Chinese schools. They also have to line up to pick up food with food trays, but there are more self-made drinks and snacks.

After entering the cafeteria, no one cared about Lu Yuan's Chinese face at all. It seems that the students here have long been familiar with the students from China.

Lu Yuan bought a beef and egg sandwich, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, two avocados and a few slices of toast, which cost him 10 dollars in total, which made Lu Yuan cry from distress.

After sitting down and eating for a while, the African boy from the same class came over with a plate. The African boy is really dark, his facial features are blurred, it took Lu Yuan a long time to see his appearance clearly.

"Hi, Lu!"

"Hi, uh, whats your name?"

After saying this, Lu Yuan was very excited. The first sentence of English he learned in elementary school finally came in handy!

The two chatted while eating like this, the spoken English of the African brother was slightly better than Lu Yuan's, but the accent was very strange, and he had to make gestures with his hands from time to time so that Lu Yuan could understand.

This African boy is called Manui Rabo. Of course, this is an abbreviation, 25 letters are omitted in the middle, and he comes from Congo (Kinshasa).

Rabo has been in the United States for one semester, and he failed the language class last semester, so he can only continue to study this semester.

The two chatted quite speculatively. Although they both lacked vocabulary, they danced together and communicated very smoothly.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise in the cafeteria, and a group of people rushed in at the door, each of them was tall and strong.They spoke very loudly, and several of them laughed, which made the originally quiet cafeteria a lot noisy.

Judging from their attire, they were all wearing blue sports jackets with the word Wilson embroidered on them, so they must be members of a school sports team.

They finished their lunch noisily, found a big table near Lu Yuan and Lapo and sat down, one of them was a chestnut-haired, brown-skinned person sitting next to Lu Yuan, he seemed to have noticed Lu Yuan's unfamiliar face, and then turned towards Lu Yuan Yuan said hello.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that the chestnut hair made a gesture of pulling the corner of Lu Yuan's eyes, and then everyone at the table burst into laughter when they saw it.

This action is a common action to ridicule Asians, although some people don't think so.

But Lu Yuan thought so, he immediately put down the fork in his hand, and gave the chestnut hair a middle finger.

The laughter stopped abruptly, but those who appeared to be the chestnut-haired teammates quickly started booing. They didn't expect this strange face to dare to make this move towards the chestnut hair.

Now that something happened, the smug smile on the chestnut hair's face disappeared completely. He stood up from the stool, and Lu Yuan also stood up, and they realized that this kid was no shorter than the chestnut hair.

The two confronted each other at the table like this, and everyone in the cafeteria looked towards this side, and everyone who knew the chestnut hair was wondering what kind of lesson he would give this strange face, but it was Lu Yuan who spoke first.

"Soft, try me."
