At the beginning of the English class, Jiang Wenpei briefly talked about the general situation of the English scores of Class 5.
Among them, students with outstanding English scores were given special praise.
In particular, only three students in Class 5 scored above 140 points: Kang Ping female test taker), Xia Yunuo (study committee member), and Ma Xianmin (class monitor).
The three of them are considered to be the three strongest English speakers in Class 5, so it's normal for them to have this score.
Xia Yunuo even surpassed Kang Ping and Ma Xianmin, scoring 146 points this time, the highest in the class.
After Jiang Wenpei began explaining the questions without deliberately criticizing those who did not perform well.
She is young and doesn't like oppressive teaching methods. If a student doesn't do well on a test, like Xu Zhuoyue who failed, she usually calls them into her office for a private talk.
They don't specifically lecture people in class.
But she hadn't forgotten her promise to Xu Zhuoyue and Song Yunshen from yesterday.
When they first started going over the multiple-choice questions, Jiang Wenpei smiled at the two of them, casually picked a question, and said to Xu Zhuoyue, " Xu Zhuoyue, you tell me, which answer is correct for this question?"
Upon hearing his name called, Xu Zhuoyue reluctantly stood up, looked down at the exam paper, and muttered under his breath, "Choose B."
"What's the reason?"
Xu Zhuoyue had already checked the answers once, so he definitely knew them.
But he had no idea why he chose this answer.
That's how it is with poor students; they often answer questions purely by feeling. Looking at the options is like going on a blind date—they pick whichever one looks the best, but whether it's correct or not is up to fate.
"Stand up." Jiang Wenpei chuckled, then looked at Song Yunshen beside her, "You tell me, what's the reason for choosing B?"
Xia Kening, using Song Yunshen's body as a prop, stood up, glanced at the question, and then said:
"The phrase following 'before' is an adverbial clause of time, meaning that the event occurred before the road construction. The use of 'was' indicates that the preceding clause should be in the past perfect tense, so the answer is B."
Jiang Wenpei was stunned for a moment when she heard his clear answer. She hadn't expected Song Yunshen to answer so well.
But she thought it might be a coincidence, so she asked a few more questions.
As a result, Song Yunshen was able to answer all the questions fluently. He not only knew the answers but also clearly expressed his problem-solving approach without any problems.
Jiang Wenpei was very surprised.
Xu Zhuoyue, standing to the side, was utterly shocked, his mouth agape, as if to say, "When did you betray your class?"
"Okay, please sit down." Jiang Wenpei, gesturing for Song Yunshen to sit down.
So only Xu Zhuoyue remained standing in the classroom.
Xia Kening suppressed a laugh, and after sitting down, she looked pleased, thinking to herself, "Haven't I helped Song Yunshen this time?"
Next time I help him with an English-related problem, I'll have to charge him!
Just as Xia Kening was making these thoughts in his mind, Xia Yunuo, who was sitting in the third row of the classroom, was also secretly watching him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
After all, in Xia Yunuo's view, Song Yunshen's ability to answer these questions so fluently and completely was clearly due to her effective teaching yesterday afternoon.
Song Yunshen's English grades are so poor, yet he handled everything so well. Isn't that all thanks to Xia Yunuo?
I initially thought that since he kept saying he wanted to peek at her in his inner voice yesterday afternoon, and even said that his beauty mark under his eye was beautiful, he must not have been studying seriously.
In hindsight, I realize I had wronged him.
Xia Yunuo felt a surge of joy at the thought, happy for Song Yunshen's improved English skills.
Moreover, she genuinely felt that she could actually help Song Yunshen.
She wasn't just passively accepting Song Yunshen's help; she was also actively giving back.
This made her feel much better.
At least he's a pretty good friend.
evening.
Xia Kening had dinner with Xu Zhuoyue, Zhong Long, and others. On the way back, Xu Zhuoyue was still loudly condemning them.
"Have you secretly taken extra classes? Otherwise, how could you answer those questions in English class?"
"I already told you," Xia Kening blinked and said with a mischievous smile, "Passing and failing are two different worlds, don't you believe me?"
"Damn! What's so great about getting 90 points? I've gotten that score before!"
"Oh." Xia Kening was too lazy to pay him any more attention and quickly walked back to the classroom.
As soon as they sat down, Xia Yunuo, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over with a slightly flushed face.
She didn't say a word, but silently moved the double-layered bag she had been carrying behind her back to the front and placed a bottle of iced tea on Song Yunshen's desk.
A small sticker was also included with the bottle.
Those around were immediately stunned by what they saw.
Xu Zhuoyue screamed, clutching his heart with his right hand and slumping back in his chair, his body convulsing. "I can't take it anymore! I want to find Lao Bao! I want to change seats!"
"Great, great, I support it!" Zhong Long clapped from the back row. "It's perfect to switch Xia Yunuo over; she's much more pleasing to the eye than you."
"Get out!" Xu Zhuoyue viciously flipped over and pinned Zhong Long to the chair. "You Fat Dragon, don't you have any brotherly affection? You should at least try to keep me here!"
Xia Kening shook her head helplessly as she watched them fighting, then turned to look at the bottle of iced tea in front of her with a look of shock.
This bottle must cost three and a half yuan, right?
My second sister is really generous...
Even though she was so poor she could only afford vegetables, she was still willing to spend this money to buy drinks for Song Yunshen.
What exactly did Song Yunshen do?
How did she manage to be so infatuated with my second sister?!
"Hey, there are stickers on it too." Deng Shitao in the back row pointed out, "What did Xia Yunuo write? It's not a love letter, is it?"
"Holy crap?" Xu Zhuoyue only realized what was happening then and quickly moved closer to try and peek.
But Xia Kening reacted quickly, grabbing the iced tea and stuffing the sticker on it into her pocket so they wouldn't see it.
"You brat!" Xu Zhuoyue gritted his teeth in anger, "What's wrong with taking a look?"
"Go ask Xia Yunuo," Xia Kening snorted. "I'll show it to you if she agrees."
"Tch." Xu Zhuoyue didn't dare ask Xia Yunuo, and said with a sneer, "Fine, I won't look. I'm not envious."
"It's so sour, Lao Xu." Zhong Long waved his hand in front of his nose.
"Get out!" Xu Zhuoyue glared at him. "It's just iced tea! I can buy it myself!"
After saying that, Xu Zhuoyue strode confidently out of the classroom, intending to buy a bottle from the convenience store.
At this moment, Xia Kening had already taken the sticker out of her pocket again and curiously glanced at the content on it.
[You did very well in English class today, which means you listened carefully when I explained the questions to you yesterday. This is a reward! ovo]
So they went on a date yesterday?
Xia Kening suddenly realized.
Second Sister was actually going over an English exam paper with Song Yunshen?
But what the heck is that "ovo" at the end!?
When did my second sister learn to act cute?!
Give me back my aloof second sister!
