"sharp!"
After going up the stairs, Lu Yanhe applauded from behind.
Chen Siqi immediately turned around and looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yanhe said, "I just witnessed the entire confrontation between you and Li Lin, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart."
Chen Siqi said with a straight face: "Are you sick?"
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "Really? Last time I heard that Li Lin was going to take the art exam, why didn't you think of it?"
Chen Siqi sneered: "Why should I take the art exam? Only people with rubbish grades take the art exam."
Lu Yanhe: “…”
Chen Siqi turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey!" Lu Yanhe called her.
"What else do you want to do?"
Lu Yanhe pointed at Chen Siqi's head.
"You lost a hair."
Chen Siqi's face changed and she immediately reached out to touch it. Sure enough, she touched down a bird feather that had fallen on her head at some point. This made her feel angry and embarrassed. She glared at Lu Yanhe again and turned away.
Lu Yanhe curled his lips.
"Strange, he glared at me even though I was kind enough to remind him. What a weird temper."
-
When Lu Yanhe arrived at the classroom, he felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the door.
He turned around and looked around. He didn't know what was going on today. Everyone was sitting in their seats reading.
Normally at this time, at least half of the people would be laughing and joking.
What happened today?
Lu Yanhe hesitated and sat down in his seat.
"Why is it so strange today?" He couldn't help but ask the classmate next to him curiously.
"What's strange?"
“They are all reading.”
"Oh, Lao Chen just said that we have to memorize words in the first class later."
Lao Chen is their English teacher.
Lu Yanhe understood.
It turned out to be a sudden spot check, and these people were just cramming for the exam.
"Old Chen also said that if anyone can't write down half of the words this time, they have to go to his office every day after school to write down the words."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
This seems to be the main reason.
Even the most unlearned student wouldn't want to be left behind in his office every day to memorize words.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Which part of the vocabulary are we going to memorize today?"
"The vocabulary list for the first semester of Grade 12."
Lu Yanhe thought, that’s not bad.
At this time, Lao Chen came.
Although they call him Lao Chen, in fact, Lao Chen is only in his early thirties. He came to their school to teach English right after graduating from university. He has a good personality and does not trouble students. He has always had a good reputation among students and has a good relationship with them.
Because the first class was English, according to convention, this morning self-study class was also in English.
After Lao Chen came in, he looked around the classroom, glanced at the time, and said with a sigh, "Your class is really generous. You're already in your third year of high school, and it's already this time, and half of you haven't come yet."
Everyone continued to memorize words silently and no one paid any attention to him.
Old Chen began his demonic barrage again, "Look at how hard you're working! If you were even half as self-disciplined as you normally are, you could easily be in the top 10. But now you're cramming for the exam! I want to see how many of you can pass. Don't blame me for being too ruthless. A few days ago, I analyzed each of your papers for the monthly exam, and to my surprise, most of you had problems with the basics. The average penalty for misspellings alone was three points. How embarrassing!"
Old Chen's words weren't harsh, just rambling, like an elderly man. But this style worked well in his class. And the amazing thing was, no one took his words lightly. That was rare in a high school class.
Students came in one after another. Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the class and Old Chen standing on the podium, they knew that something must have happened. Without saying a word, they quickly went to their seats and asked in a low voice what was going on next to them.
With only five minutes left before class started, Li Pengfei slowly came in from the back door carrying his schoolbag.
"Oh, it's so quiet!" Li Pengfei was startled when he came in.
Lao Chen: "They're all just like you, seniors in high school, and only arriving at the classroom at this hour."
"Old Chen, you are such a mean person. At least I wasn't late, and you still criticize me for that."
"Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. As soon as the first class starts, we'll be reciting vocabulary words. If you get more than half of them wrong, you'll have to come to my office after school every day to recite the vocabulary words." Old Chen crossed his arms over his chest. "That includes you."
Li Pengfei's eyes widened. "Oh my god, is this true? A surprise attack?"
"How dare you say that? You only got 43 points in English. Tell me, how many points did you get yourself and how many points did you guess?" asked Lao Chen.
A burst of uncontrollable laughter broke out in the class.
Li Pengfei pursed his lips. "Damn, Old Chen, you're making personal attacks."
"Yesterday, I studied each of your scores and, after much reflection, I feel that I shouldn't just criticize you. I should also criticize myself. I was too soft-hearted, too kind to you, and always made excuses for you. That's why you lost so many points in English that you shouldn't have. As a teacher, I must take the lead in self-examination and make improvements. So, starting today, I will take ten minutes every day to come and dictate words to you. Today's range is relatively large, mainly to see how your vocabulary foundation is. Starting tomorrow, you will dictate twenty words every day. The dictation range will be announced after English get out of class every day. If you make fewer than three mistakes, you will solve them yourself. If you make more than three mistakes, please meet in my office after school."
Everyone in the class looked up in shock, and at that moment, bursts of wailing broke out in the quiet classroom.
"Old Chen, how did you become so cruel!"
"Old Chen, you are not the gentle you anymore!"
“It’s so inhumane!”
…
Complaints were heard one after another.
Old Chen smiled and said, "You young people, instead of wasting your energy on whining, why don't you memorize a few more words? Today, I'm allowing you to get half of them wrong."
“…”
Lu Yanhe was sitting in the audience and thought Old Chen was weird and interesting.
Actually, their English grades weren't bad. In other words, they were pretty good, ranking in the top three in their grade. This was actually because everyone liked Mr. Chen. As a student, if you liked a teacher, your grades in that subject generally wouldn't be that bad.
Today, Lao Chen suddenly launched this surprise attack, and I don’t know what happened.
But this was exactly what he wanted.
Lu Yanhe summarized his English exam and found that the biggest problem was that he forgot the words and only understood the English vaguely.
He also needs to make up for his shortcomings.
Twenty words a day is actually not a lot. They are all words that have been memorized and learned. In their case, each person can finish memorizing them in an average of ten minutes, provided that they really memorize them with their heart.
