After a simple rebirth

Chapter 129 Geographical Knowledge

Fu Ying went out and greeted the teacher first.

"Fu Ying, you went to junior high school in Guangdong Province, right? I heard that your pronunciation is very good and you read the words very accurately. Did you practice it specifically before?" Teacher Li looked at her.

Fu Ying nodded and said, "I have practiced before. Our teacher asked us to follow the recording and read aloud, and we practiced pronunciation and intonation specifically."

Teacher Li looked at Fu Ying in surprise, "You've learned it quite well. You even understand pronunciation and intonation."

Fu Ying smiled slightly, because she had studied English as a major in her previous life, so she spoke out the professional terms subconsciously.

She did practice English pronunciation and fluency, but not with a teacher. She practiced on her own. She wanted to improve her English, so she looked for a lot of learning resources and methods, and even became a member of several softwares. She practiced for half an hour to an hour every day, and she made a lot of progress. This was also a big reason why she dared to change her major and take the English test. She would not forget it if she kept learning.

"Then would you like to be the English class representative? You read clearly and correctly, and it is very effective to lead the classmates in morning reading. I see that your entrance examination results are also very good."

Fu Ying: No, I don’t want to be one!

"Teacher, the Chinese teacher also asked me to be the Chinese class representative temporarily. I am also the deputy monitor. This is too much work. I am afraid that I will be too busy to handle it. I am not suitable for it. You can look at other students."

Teacher Li nodded. "Oh, I see. Apart from you, I'm not sure who speaks better."

Fu Ying immediately said, "Teacher, then you can talk to the Chinese teacher. Although I don't think I'm suitable to be a class representative, if I really want to be one, one person will do. I'll listen to your arrangements."

Fu Ying looked at Teacher Li with sparkling eyes: "Homeroom teacher and subject teachers, I definitely want to stay away from the homeroom teacher! I'm counting on you. As long as you can handle the homeroom teacher, I can be the English class representative!"

Teacher Li saw what she meant and smiled, "Okay, you continue studying, I will communicate with Teacher Tan."

Fu Ying nodded and walked into the classroom with a little happiness. Teacher Li walked towards the stairs, preferably to the office!

When the class started, Teacher Li announced that she was the English class representative. It seemed that she had won the favor of the head teacher. She asked Fu Ying to go up to the podium to introduce herself. Fu Ying didn't expect to stand on the podium, but she was not afraid. She went up to the podium and gave a simple self-introduction in English.

After saying that, seeing that Teacher Li had nothing to say, she went back to her seat. When she sat down, she found that her deskmate was looking at her with a look of greatness. Fu Ying felt a little embarrassed, as she was really just average.

Then Teacher Li also played a video for them, which was a documentary produced by the BBC, and recommended that they listen to more English broadcasts and recordings if possible.

School is finally over. Fu Ying packed her schoolbag. She didn’t plan to take her books back home. She also didn’t plan to study at noon. She wanted to take a nap. It was too early to get up.

I went downstairs and saw Li Xingying at the entrance of the teaching building, so I went to find her. Li Xingyun was not there, maybe she left by herself or with other students.

Li Xingying was still chattering, talking about her class as she walked. She said that she was still the labor committee member; that Li Xingyun slept in class; and that the Chinese teacher had already started the class and many people couldn't concentrate.

Fu Ying followed suit and gave some response.

The more I walk this way, the shorter the way home seems to become.

When Fu Ying got home, her mother was still cooking. Fu Ying put down her schoolbag and served herself some rice. Fu Ying asked where Fu Zhe was, and her mother said he had gone out to play.

Fu Ying didn't serve him the rice and started eating with Fu's mother.

After a few minutes, Fu Zhe came back. He wanted to sit down to eat but found that he didn't have his own bowl and chopsticks, so he asked Fu Ying.

Fu Ying didn't even raise her head. "How would I know if you went to someone else's house to play and didn't want to come back for dinner? I only scooped the food for those who were there."

Fu Zhe wanted to speak but didn't dare to, so he went to get his own food and sat down to eat.

Fu Ying glanced at him without saying anything. In two days, Xiao Heitan would start school, and he would have the last two days of free time.

After dinner, Fu Ying asked Fu Zhe to wash the dishes. Fu's mother wanted to carry the dishes for her to wash, but Fu Ying refused. Seeing that Fu Ying was determined, Fu Zhe silently picked up the dishes and washed them.

This was not the first time they had quarreled because of this. When Fu Zhe wanted to be lazy, his mother indulged him. Fu Ying couldn't stand his mother working so hard and doing everything herself, so she criticized Fu Zhe while she was doing it. His mother then told her not to keep staring at Fu Zhe while he was doing his work. The family always quarreled because of this, and it was a vicious cycle.

"Anyway, you haven't started school yet, so when you're at home you either cook or wash dishes. You have to cook at least one dish. If you always think about sitting and waiting for food like your grandfather, you'll see whether I will scold you or beat you." After saying this, Fu Ying went straight back to her room without giving Fu's mother a chance to speak.

Fu's mother is too soft-hearted and too indulgent. As a sister, she won't do that. Now that Fu Zhe is willing to listen, she will take care of him. If he doesn't develop good habits now, he will just sit and wait for death in the future. She will not take care of him then. He will bear the consequences of his own sins.

It was not suitable to sleep right after eating, so Fu Ying decided to tidy up the table to digest the food. She put the books from junior high school on top, which might still be useful, but she focused on the books from high school.

I put the notebooks I need down there. Currently, I have only studied Chinese, math and English, so I can't make a complete study plan yet. I'll do it on Saturday.

Although I have started to feel a little anxious inside, I would feel a little panicked if the continuous learning state during this period of time suddenly had to slow down or even stagnate for a few days. I was afraid that it would be difficult to return to the high-intensity learning state after being idle and decadent. I was afraid that the speed now was too slow and there would not be enough time to study later, and that the efficiency was low.

But suddenly when I thought about my panic, I felt that it was a good thing. Appropriate anxiety can also alert myself. If I can't follow the plan, I can do something else. Just don't get away from studying and don't forget to study.

There seemed to be no newspapers at home, so Fu Ying wanted to wrap the books in book covers. It would be a lot of money to buy so many books. She asked Fu's mother, and she said that no one subscribes to newspapers at home now, so she told Fu Ying to buy book covers directly. But Fu Ying remembered that it seemed to cost 15 cents to wrap a book cover before, but now it costs at least 9 yuan. The textbooks distributed so far, whether they are used frequently or not, have a total of books. Even if they only cover the main subjects, they will cost books. The handmade party decided to try wrapping the book covers by themselves first.

OK, the wrapping paper purchase task has appeared and is waiting to be completed.

Lie down on the bed and ask Fu's mother to set an alarm. At this time, I am thinking about whether to buy a bedside alarm clock. Buying a mobile phone is not realistic. Fu Ying is not interested in the current mobile phones. It is still the era of keypad phones. There is not much use except making calls and setting alarms. What Fu Ying needs now is a smart phone that can check information and listen to audio, but smart phones will not appear for another three or four years and will be cheaper.

Then let's use an alarm clock. It should be used for three years. Based on Fu Ying's understanding of her mother, she would not stay at home every day. She might go out to play mahjong or visit friends. You ask her to stay at home at this time every day just to wake Fu Ying up? Impossible. She would rather leave her phone behind. You set the alarm clock yourself, hide the phone when you go to school, and she can come back to get it.

In order to fall asleep quickly, Fu Ying began to recall the knowledge before going to bed. She read the phonetic symbols that her English teacher had taught her today one by one in her mind, and then fell asleep.

She woke up as soon as Fu Ma called her. When she was young in her previous life, she thought that every day was the same whether she took a nap or not, but she was always sleepy in the afternoon. Later, I found that taking a nap was really different, especially when I was older. After waking up, I would be more energetic and the chance of feeling sleepy in the afternoon was very low.

Before Fu Zhe went out to play, Fu Ying assigned him a task, asking him to recite the ancient poems he had memorized a few days ago and revise them himself. She would check them after school and then select some students to recite them.

On the way to school with Li Xingying, Li Xingying asked her why she always held an umbrella, which was very tiring. Fu Ying said it was for sun protection, and getting too tanned would cause sun spots. Li Xingying hesitated to speak. Fu Ying knew that for people living in the countryside, holding an umbrella every day would seem pretentious, and most people would just go out directly. But Fu Ying didn't explain too much, firstly because others still didn't quite understand, and secondly, explaining would make it seem more pretentious.

When I returned to the classroom, several classmates were taking a nap on the table. They probably didn't live in the school but their homes were a bit far away, so they didn't go home at noon.

Fu Ying knew that not every village was close to the school. For example, if you drive to the village where Fu's aunt lived, it would take you 10 minutes to get there, but if you walk, it would take you half an hour to 45 minutes. Accommodation was not that cost-effective. There were not many wealthy families in the village, and letting children eat at school would increase the expenses a lot, so many people chose to go home early and late and stay at school during the week.

Students arrived one after another. Those who arrived five minutes early were mostly day students who went home to eat and came early. Those who arrived three minutes early were mostly boarding students. They lived close to each other and woke each other up so that they could arrive together. Those who were late were still day students who were too far away to calculate the time correctly or who overslept.

In the afternoon, we had geography class. The geography teacher was Liu Bo, who looked unkempt, thin and small, in his thirties, wearing glasses. He looked like a secondary teacher. He just went up to the podium, introduced himself, called the roll, and then started lecturing. He didn't do anything fancy, and he didn't try to interact with the students, get familiar with them, or get them to adapt to his style.

He was not teaching a new lesson, but was reviewing some important physics knowledge from junior high school with his classmates.

Fu Ying was deeply impressed by her geography grades in junior high school. They were not just bad. She really understood a lot of geography knowledge after working as a tour guide. This was because she saw various landforms and visited many cities. She took the initiative to learn more because she needed the knowledge reserve to be a tour guide.

So now when the geography teacher reviews the junior high school knowledge, she is half confused and half knowledgeable. She knows what she has experienced, but is confused about what is not common and has long been forgotten.

Fu Ying wrote down the knowledge points that she was not familiar with so that she could review them tonight. If the high school knowledge was based on this, then she would have to go back and study it again.

The two classes passed quickly, and Fu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had returned some of the knowledge to the teacher, she had actually been exposed to it to some extent, and she could still understand it in practice after being confused. She looked at her notes, which were mainly about topography and regional climate. It was too difficult to remember, and she would forget what she had read and easily get confused. As for regional characteristics, she knew everything related to tourism.

There is some truth to the saying on the internet that children with more experience can study better.

She worked as a tour guide for several years and did not make any money or save any money, but she traveled half of the country and also visited Southeast Asia, experiencing all kinds of landscapes and culture firsthand. So it is not that what is learned from books is shallow, but that all the words can be converted into images in memory.
