Her lover was still in the country and had not returned to the city, and her two children were sent to her husband's family to raise. Most of the monthly support was taken from her subsidy. In addition, she also received subsidies for poor students and applied for During the work-study program, she wished she could split one person into two and use it. For this reason, I have fallen behind a bit in my studies, and it is obvious that I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.

If she could get this bonus, even the third prize, it would solve her urgent needs and make her feel a little more relaxed.

But she is self-aware and knows that her English is weak and her pronunciation is not standard. It is impossible to win the third prize.

If Hu Tianniu reported it, it would give her half the courage. After all, their English proficiency is about the same.

"I want to apply, but I'm still hesitant. There are quite a few people applying. Do you think I can win the award?"

Hu Tianniu is also a little timid.

"This is a good competition. Whether you win a prize or not is secondary. The most important thing is that you can exercise your courage, accumulate experience, and learn. It kills three birds with one stone. It would be even better if you can win a prize. If you don't apply, I also want to retaliate."

Chen Zhaodi has a more positive attitude.

After what she said, Hu Tianniu and Li Ermei became even more excited.

Finally, all four of the friends in the dormitory signed up. Su Yun had no intention of signing up, but the other three insisted on dragging her along, saying that not one of them should be missing. She could not be a deserter, and this If there was a prize, she would have the best chance of winning it. Su Yun's spoken English was the best among the four.

Hu Tianniu saw Su Yun reading a book in English in the dormitory. She asked Su Yun if she could understand it. Su Yun said she couldn't understand and just looked up the dictionary. She also put a thick Oxford book by her bedside. English-Chinese Dictionary. Hu Tianniu believed it. When she encountered a word she didn't know, she even borrowed the dictionary from Su Yun. She thought this reference book was very useful, but the price was a bit expensive and she was reluctant to buy it.

When she saves enough money, she will definitely buy one.

Su Yun's dictionary is actually useless. She speaks fluently and reads English books without any pressure. She often went abroad in her previous life. She has exchanged graduate students and Ph.D.s abroad. She knows the living habits of foreigners well, let alone reading English books. . She prepared it to conceal her strength, but Hu Tianniu believed her words.

These days, there are still very few people who are good at English. Su Yun doesn't want to attract too much attention and knows everything.

If she hadn't been dragged into signing up, she wouldn't have come out of this limelight.

Later, Su Yun heard Hu Tianniu whisper that Li Manli and Zhang Xiaofang had also signed up.

Li Manli felt that her English was pretty good and she was at least one of the best in the class. She had never heard Su Yun speak English, so she didn't feel like she was losing to Su Yun. As for seeing Su Yun reading an English book, Li Manli felt that Su Yun was just pretending and was holding a dictionary. Who knows if she really knows it or is pretending to know it. This competition might reveal Su Yun's true colors.

Zhang Xiaofang complained to Li Manli in private: "These people are overestimating their abilities. Even Li Ermei and Hu Tianniu have signed up. Do they overestimate their own strength? Even their Mandarin accent is not standard. It’s ridiculous to think that you can win the prize in the English competition. What do they think of the people in the English department? They can defeat them by just pulling someone out. If these two fools hadn’t signed up, I wouldn’t have done this. I have the courage to sign up. If someone of their level dares to sign up, I might win a prize."

"Hahahaha, Manli, do you think I have the ability to win the award?"

"Have."

Li Manli has listened to Zhang Xiaofang's spoken English. Although her English is worse than hers, she is still better than most people. They are natives of Kyoto and have good family conditions. The environment and conditions for learning English are better than those of classmates from other places. , there are definitely advantages.

Zhang Xiaofang was completely forced to learn English. In order to learn English, her second brother hired a teacher and it cost money. Her parents thought that they would spend money anyway and teach one teacher and teach two others. It was the teacher who forced her in unwillingly. She was studying with her second brother, so she was naturally beaten and her face was stepped on the ground.

But in the dormitory, Zhang Xiaofang regained a lot of self-confidence. Who knows how many country bumpkins can't even speak Mandarin clearly?

"Manli, we can practice together in private. I heard that there is an English corner in the school. How about we check it out at night? It is organized by a group of people from the foreign language department. Let's go and test their level."

Zhang Xiaofang said.

"it is good."

Li Manli had no objection.

Of course, Hu Tianniu had heard of the English Corner. She mentioned it to the other three people during the meal. Su Yun was afraid that there would be too many people and she would be too lazy to go. As a pregnant woman, she could not withstand any risks. A stampede would easily happen if there were too many people, especially I heard that this English corner was running in full swing. The other three people understood it and didn't try to persuade her, so they all went.

Therefore, when Su Yun stayed alone in the dormitory, she felt that her ears were very clean and she could read quietly.

In the past few days, whenever I had free time, the dormitory had become a holy place for practicing English. Not only Hu Tianniu and the others, but also Li Manli and Zhang Xiaofang often read English loudly in the dormitory, which made her ears almost grow calluses.

In order to avoid this grand occasion, she went to the library to study, even if she could just read quietly.

Of course, there are also whispers in the library discussing this English competition, which shows how popular this English competition is.

Hu Tianniu and several others have analyzed this in private. It is mainly because of their group, which is mostly poor students. Such a large bonus is unprecedented, so everyone is eager to sign up regardless of their own strength, and they will not get any prizes anyway. No loss either.

Su Yun never spoke English in the dormitory. She only read English materials and books.

Hu Tianniu and the others, along with Li Manli and Zhang Xiaofang, came back from the English Corner. They met by chance at the English Corner. There probably was some friction, and their expressions were not very good.

Zhang Xiaofang's face was the darkest and deepest, and Li Manli comforted her softly.

After the two of them went out together to wash their faces and brush their teeth, Hu Tianniu told Su Yun about this in private, saying that they stammered in the English corner and hesitated for a long time, and Zhang Xiaofang laughed at them, so they started to quarrel. .

The three of them, Zhang Xiaofang and Li Manli, couldn't quarrel with them, but there were two boys in the English department who saw that Li Manli and Zhang Xiaofang were beautiful, so they sided with them. It was disgusting.

"These English majors judge people by their appearance. They are too superficial. I wish none of them will win the award."

Hu Tianniu cursed fiercely, and also implemented the system of sitting together, knocking down a group of people with one stroke.

Su Yun couldn't help laughing when she saw Hu Tianniu's cute and naive expression. She clapped her hands twice in response and echoed: "Then I wish you all your wishes will come true."

"Su Yun, how can this man be so superficial?"
