Chapter 4
Every high school has an English teacher who wears the same clothes for three years,

In Zhenyang Middle School, Wang Yufei firmly occupied this ecological niche.

Her teaching level is not very good, and the English scores of the girls she leads are generally slightly lower than those of other classes.It's all because the boys are okay that they can barely survive in prestigious schools.

To put it bluntly, some boys will work hard to learn English for her.

It's a pity that Gu Zhe is not this kind of person, and in order to prepare for competitions in his first and second year of high school, he often has to spend time in training camps. The most sacrificed thing is English class, so the teacher hates him very much.

At this moment, Gu Zhe slowed down a little bit, and was stopped by Wang Yufei, who asked about yesterday's incident bitterly:
"Gu Zhe, what's wrong with you? You were almost late for the college entrance examination. You just passed the second model, right? How much can you score in the test yesterday? Are you planning to repeat the exam?

Some students complained to me, saying that you interfere with other people's listening mood, which is harmful to others and yourself! "

Gu Zhe explained calmly: "Thank you for your concern, but don't wait three days to look at me with admiration. I just didn't have time to learn English before, not because my learning ability is not good."

Wang Yufei obviously didn't believe it: "Are you quite confident? It's pointless to lie to yourself, the score is very important! Blindly overestimating will only lead to overestimation in filling in the volunteers - after a while, you can write the answer directly on the blackboard!"

Of course Gu Zhe didn't care, he was already very sure.

……

After Wang Yufei finished speaking, she turned around and entered the classroom, and asked everyone to check the answers.

A few classmates who had a bad relationship with Gu Zhe saw that he was late again today and entered the classroom after the teacher, so they whispered to him and joked:
"I heard that he was almost late for the English test yesterday. It's been so many years, and the whole school is just so weird."

"Tsk tsk, how arrogant I was at the beginning, it made me feel like I was superior to others, but in the end I didn't give up halfway, I have to obediently come back to learn English."

Gu Zhe glanced at it roughly, but didn't take it seriously.Those who know what to say are mainly a few rich second-generation foreign students in the class.

There is no way, it is still the pot before his rebirth.In high school, Gu Zhe was a bit cynical and didn't get along well with them.

That shitty thing back then was nothing more than the fact that Gu Zhe never flattered the rich second generation when they showed off, and even complained that the other party's grades were poor and they didn't look like a student.Convenience ridiculed him for not seeing the world, not understanding fashion brands, and playing badly.

Gu Zhe's current state of mind has long been calm. Thinking about it, it's quite naive and unnecessary.

Wang Yufei stood on the podium, asked the class representatives to hand out blank papers, and explained:
"Give everyone 20 minutes. Write down all the options you chose in yesterday's exam. Try to remember as accurately as possible. This is also responsible for yourself. Gu Zhe, you write on the blackboard."

The students were quite surprised, thinking that Teacher Wang was still angry about what happened yesterday.

Gu Zhe picked up the chalk and wrote calmly, finishing it in a few minutes.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, a classmate diagonally behind him poked him with a pen: "Zhe, are you all right? Write after you have a clear memory. Only fill out the application after the estimated score is correct, don't get angry."

It was Xu Song who was in the same dormitory who was talking, and everyone had a good relationship.Seeing that Gu Zhe wrote so fast, he thought he felt ashamed and broke the can.

Gu Zhe turned his head to the side: "Don't worry, I am confident in the sprint review for the last two months, and I specially memorized the answers before handing in the paper yesterday."

Xu Song didn't say any more, and the 20 minutes were over soon. The papers were exchanged between the deskmates, and the teacher began to report the answers.

English has the highest proportion of multiple-choice questions, and the coverage of the answers is also the highest. The students quickly entered a state of joy and sorrow.

"Yeah! These are all correct, I'm 120 this time."

"It's over, it's all because of the strange pronunciation, I misheard seven of them!"

After taking care of their own affairs, some students began to look at the blackboard.

Then, Xu Song was the first to discover the abnormality, and couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, while pushing Gu Zhe's shoulder: "What the hell? Ah Zhe, you scored 135 objective questions and got 127 right? How did you review?"

The other students also noticed this immediately after hearing the words.

Fuck!hell!Is this still Gu Zhe who failed the first model and barely passed the second model?Although it is indeed easy to improve at a low level, is this too fast?
Wang Yufei also fell into confusion, and was a little confused about the situation for a while.

At this moment, a voice suddenly spoke: "Isn't this the standard answer to be found in advance after the test? The estimated score is deceiving yourself, it's boring!"

When Gu Zhe heard the sound, he remembered that the other party's name was Qian Siyuan, and his family belonged to the Dongou Real Estate Speculators Group.

Of course, Gu Zhe didn't have to respond to this question.When the scores come out, everything will be revealed.

Wang Yufei also felt that Qian Siyuan was making a fuss, so she hurriedly stopped her: "Everyone, don't talk nonsense and suspect that your classmates are not good. It seems that Gu Zhe has made great progress and should be encouraged."

When Qian Siyuan was accused like this, he felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to quibble even more.

After all, borrowers have their own small circles. They know that those regular students who have passed the senior high school entrance examination may not treat them as classmates in this life, and they will never communicate with each other after graduation.And the face is his own, so he is not afraid of offending others:

"Mr. Wang, don't be fooled by him. You see, he even has a perfect score in listening. This year, a lot of listening content has been replaced by Meiyin. You don't usually teach that much. Even Lin Jingjing is wrong. How can he be all right?"

When Wang Yufei heard it, she immediately felt that it made sense, but as a teacher, she couldn't directly question the students, so she put on a pleasant expression and asked Gu Zhe to answer the question:
"Gu Zhe, yesterday's hearing was not easy. How did you easily adapt to the switch between English and American accents?"

Seeing that the teacher's attitude had improved, Gu Zhe no longer cherished himself.

In terms of the breadth of knowledge, people in the 2020s must be as good as those in 02.

After all, there are so many learning tools pushed by artificial intelligence in later generations, and people who can tune the algorithm can learn a lot of phonology knowledge even if they just browse the forced website.

After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Zhe talked eloquently: "I think there is a general rule to follow in the evolution of accents in different dialects of the same language.

It is nothing more than the evolution of many words over time. In order to save more effort in speaking, there will be a trend of "vowel heightening", the tongue position is getting higher and higher, and the mouth opening is getting smaller and smaller.

For example, the pronunciation of sweet (sweet) in Old English is '思外特', but in American English, '呀' becomes '嘻', and the opening of the mouth becomes smaller.It is very easy after mastering this general rule. "

Wang Yufei couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this.

She is an English teacher with a bachelor's degree, but she doesn't understand ancient Chinese, and she also got mixed up in phonology in college.

To put it bluntly, she belongs to the kind of English teacher who doesn't even know that "You" should be written as "Thee" in Shakespeare's "Frail, Thy Name Is a Woman".

But Gu Zhe spoke clearly and logically, so she couldn't show timidity, so she forcibly commented:
"Is this a universal law? Don't jump to conclusions blindly. Even if this is true for English, it may not be true for other languages. You still have to be steadfast in your studies, and don't be blind to the elephant..."

Gu Zhe took over the words: "It's the same in ancient Chinese. 'I' was pronounced 'a' in Tang and Song Dynasties, and Tibetan and Hakka are still pronounced this way. In the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to 'e' to open the mouth smaller. Read it that way.

The same is true for Japanese, the mouth becomes smaller as you go to Kansai—you’ve seen Japanese TV dramas, the normal Kanto dialect’s ‘Baga’ becomes ‘Boka’ in Osaka dialect, and the Hiroshima Gokudo dialect becomes ‘Bu Kara’. I'm too lazy to open up.

After all, they are all mixed up in extreme ways, so why should we pay attention to elegant speech?In the final analysis, language is just a tool. As long as it can be understood, it will of course evolve in the direction of "speaking in whatever way saves effort". "

Gu Zhe got it at his fingertips, he just read it casually from the "Age of Empires 4" ancient music discussion forum before he was reborn.But knowledge does not ask where it comes from, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

At this point, Wang Yufei didn't know how to refute, and everyone's doubts about Gu Zhe's level were completely dissipated.

Qian Siyuan and the others were even more stunned.

Finally, out of curiosity, Wang Yufei asked Gu Zhe to recite the English composition he wrote yesterday.Gu Zhe couldn't recite it, but he roughly remembered it, so he temporarily organized the language to recite it again.

Listening to his oral expression and written organization, it is nothing more than burying the soil on the head of the questioner more solidly.

"I'm afraid he has 140... In the last two months, he has been studying foreign languages ​​with all his strength, and he has improved so much. It can only be said that his IQ is too high. It was just that he didn't focus on it."

While Wang Yufei was shocked, this was the only explanation, and she couldn't help feeling guilty.

After checking the answers, Wang Yufei announced that everyone would dismiss and take a rest, and wait for the next teacher to do math.

She also called Lu Youyou to the corridor guiltily, and said a few words of comfort: "Yesterday you were helping others, so it's fine, don't take it to heart. But you still have to abide by the rules and regulations when you enter the university."

Lu Youyou had nothing to say, and her mood recovered a little.It's just that there is still a bit of unreality, and I am surprised at Gu Zhe's great progress.
