Wearing books and sweet pets: the richest couple in the 80s

Chapter 291

After He Wanqing's loud words fell, the entire auditorium fell silent.

The Qingming Garden is the greatest pain in the hearts of all Chinese people, and it is also the greatest shame.

Every time I think about it, I can't help but sigh.

"it is good!"

Qin Dingkun suddenly cheered loudly, breaking the silence of the auditorium.

The overwhelming applause sounded from all around the auditorium, much warmer than the applause of the first eight contestants.

Yu Liya clapped her hands desperately and nodded repeatedly.

"Wanqing, well said!"

For the first time, she used Chinese to praise He Wanqing in the English competition, which surprised everyone.

She is fluent in Chinese, which is well known and nothing surprising.

To everyone's surprise, instead of being embarrassed or angry, she was very excited about He Wanqing's speech.

"Wanqing, when my parents were alive, they often mentioned the Old Summer Palace in your country, and they felt very sorry for it being destroyed by robbers. As a descendant of Westerners, I feel ashamed of the shameless actions of my ancestors, so I want to express my gratitude to my parents. Do what I can to the country that Bang once hurt, which is why I came to Dongguang for this reason.”

Her words aroused the students present to be amazed again and again, and the applause that had subsided once again resounded like thunder.

There were also tears in the eyes of several old professors.

They have all stayed abroad, and they all have the ambition to serve the country. They want to make the weak motherland strong and restore its original glory one day.

Therefore, they are undoubtedly the most impressed by the oath of overseas students mentioned in He Wanqing's speech.

Yu Liya smiled and nodded and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The people of your country have such beliefs and persistence, and have such a long history and civilization. I believe that it will not be long before your country will return to the list of world powers. "

The thunderous applause from the audience rang out again, and the voices of thanks from the students echoed one after another in the auditorium.

Yu Liya said with emotion: "My parents have loved Chinese civilization all their lives. After I came to Dongguang, I have been reading historical classics. I thank Mr. He for bringing me such a wonderful oriental garden culture. I will always remember it."

Finally came the scoring part.

All five teachers gave ten points unanimously.

He Wanqing got a full score and ranked first, and the qualifying spot has almost been locked.

When she stepped down, except for He Lilan, several contestants congratulated her.

"Well said! Student He, we should be self-improvement."

"Yes, it's true. Our own culture is one of the most splendid civilizations in the world. There is no need to belittle ourselves."

He Lilan's face was gloomy, almost dripping water.

She never expected that Yu Liya would give such praise to He Wanqing's words.

In this way, if He Wanqing is sure to qualify, she will be in danger.

She heard from Yu Liya's words that Yu Liya especially hoped that the contestants would talk more about their country's culture.

What's worse, in order to please Yulia, she planned to talk about the literature of E and F countries.

Seeing her expression, He Wanqing couldn't help sneering secretly.

He Lilan is like this, she always likes to judge others by herself.

She likes to worship Western culture, and despises everything in her own country, thinking that all people, especially Westerners, are just like her.

However, as far as He Wanqing was dealing with Yu Liya, Yu Liya was a pure scholar.

It may have something to do with her parents coming from different countries, and her experience of traveling around the world with her parents since she was a child. She does not have a strong sense of national belonging, but has a deep interest in history, culture and customs.

She can destroy Indian civilization and Mayan civilization in the hands of invaders, and scold her parents' country.

Therefore, she was not the kind of person He Lilan thought of at all.

Finally it was He Lilan's turn to play.

He Wanqing's speech has brought the atmosphere of the entire auditorium to its climax.

Many students were full of excitement and had greater expectations for He Lilan's speech, hoping that she would bring more exciting speeches.

He Lilan naturally understood the current situation.

But she didn't know what to do at all. All she prepared was foreign literature. If it was placed among the top eight contestants, there would be no problem with such subjects.

But it happened to be placed after the Qingming Garden, especially after the students were aroused by He Wanqing's speech to be patriotic, so the literature about the two countries seemed particularly inappropriate.

It's too late to change the topic temporarily, and she is not interested in the civilization of her own country at all, so if she insists on saying something, she may expose her shortcomings even more.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and speak according to the original plan.

Perhaps it was because she was too nervous, she had a problem with her speech, and she forgot her words several times, which caused the students in the audience to talk a lot.

He Wanqing sneered.

It's not that she forgot the words, but in her speech, she used the literature of her own country several times to promote the literature of other countries.

If placed in the front, it may not be noticeable.

After all, those eight contestants are all boasting about the cultures of various countries.

But at this time, if she dared to say that openly, she would definitely be scolded by the students in the audience.

Therefore, she had to shave these words from the speech, which caused her to forget the words.

The levels of the ten contestants are all on the same level, and if her performance is abnormal, she will naturally appear to be extremely poor.

Sure enough, after her speech, the auditorium resounded with sparse applause.

Some people privately questioned how they managed to get into the top ten finals with such a level of spoken English.

Yulia was disappointed in her.

"Lan, you performed very well in the preliminaries, and your oral English level is also good on weekdays. Why did your level drop so much today? Are you uncomfortable?"

He Lilan reluctantly nodded.

"It's not very comfortable."

He Lilan reluctantly nodded, and looked at her hopefully again.

"Teacher Yu Liya, I am really uncomfortable today, which is why I am not performing properly. Can you give me another chance? I promise to perform at the highest level."

The contestants in the audience looked at her in disbelief.

I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen such thick-skinned people.

If you fail to perform well, you ask for another chance, so can others do the same.

Yulia shook her head regretfully.

"No, the rules of the competition are like this. Since you have participated, you must abide by it. If you are given another chance, it will be unfair to other players."

He Lilan's face turned pale immediately.

She knew she was doomed this time.

Sure enough, the score came out, and she got the lowest score in the game, only 35 points, and she was the only one who didn't score 40 points.

Moreover, because she gave a speech on the literature of England and France, some students were dissatisfied, and when the results were announced, she even aroused a few boos.

This time, according to the results of the competition, He Wanqing and Wen Nanbo represented Dongguang University to participate in the Southern Province College Students Spoken English Contest.

The other seven contestants congratulated the two and hoped that they could get better results in the competition.

But He Lilan's face was so dark that it was dripping water, and he stared at her gloomyly, without speaking for a long time.
