Reborn 1980: A poisonous wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 82 You Can Have Some Snacks
An Ya has not only passed CET-8 in professional English, but also in pharmacy, reading international medical professional magazines and communicating with foreign counterparts has no obstacles at all.

The vocabulary required by the professional English level 8 is about 13,000, and at least 8000 must be mastered.

In fact, people who can use English as proficiently as their mother tongue have mastered a vocabulary far beyond these numbers.

But now, the vocabulary required to be mastered in the entire three years of high school is more than 2000 but less than 3000.

Wang Yan knew Anya's vocabulary. This guy's vocabulary and grammar were beyond the outline when answering the paper. He had to look through the Oxford dictionary to grade her...

He specifically asked Anya to dictate in front of the blackboard, which was like killing chickens with a sledgehammer. Of course, this was the effect he was trying to achieve.

When Anya finished writing well and turned to look at Wang Yan, the whole class fell into that weird silence again.

Different from the reason that caused the whole class to roar with laughter in the morning, everyone has already faintly felt that this new transfer student is not only strong and interesting, but also looks very powerful...

Even poor students who are not focused on studies, when looking at good students, there is always a trace of envy in their eyes.What Wang Yan hopes is that he can turn these envy into motivation and encourage everyone to be better in their studies!
So when Anya looked at him, Wang Yan nodded: "The dictation is all right, can you read these words?"

"Yes, Teacher Wang." Anya turned her head and glanced at the few words written on the blackboard just now, and read them out very fluently.

At first, he was a little worried that Anya was learning dumb English or Chinglish, but after hearing her pronunciation, Wang Yan knew that he didn't need to worry about this at all.

"Okay, very good!" Wang Yan was about to signal Anya to go down, when Zhang Yuanyuan, the representative of the English class, raised her hand.

Finally, there was an interaction, Wang Yan smiled and nodded Zhang Yuanyuan to get up: "Zhang Yuanyuan, what's your question?"

As the representative of the English class, but being overwhelmed by a new transfer student, Zhang Yuanyuan was really aroused to be competitive, and she grabbed Anya's mistake and quickly pointed it out: "Mr. Wang, just now Anya had a few words that should be Mispronounced."

The best English score in the class is Zhang Yuanyuan. Although she may not be able to dictate all the words correctly if she went up to dictate just now, she can still hear the pronunciation of a few words. Anya has a few words that are pronounced the same as Teacher Wang. Not the same.

Is it different?Wang Yan was startled.

He just noticed that Anya read very fluently, and he felt that there should be no mistakes...

Anya smiled and nodded: "Yes, student Zhang listened very carefully, my pronunciation is indeed different from Teacher Wang's.

Teacher Wang speaks British English, and my pronunciation is American English, there is still a little difference between the two. "

Everyone knows that both the United States and the United Kingdom use English. How can there be a difference in pronunciation?Just like the Mandarin Chinese that is promoted, can it be possible to pronounce two tones in Mandarin?

Zhang Yuanyuan didn't believe it at all, and looked directly at Wang Yan.

In 1978, the Ministry of Education promulgated the "Full-time 10-year English Teaching Syllabus for Primary and Secondary Schools", and experts and scholars were invited to rewrite the English textbooks for primary and secondary schools. In 1983, English scores were included in the total score of the college entrance examination.

It's only 1987, and people don't understand much English, and they don't even know that there is a difference between American and British.

In fact, whether it is American or British, it is understandable when communicating internationally. American and English are variants of British and English. Because of the relationship between work and communication, Anya is more accustomed to using American English, which is easier to read.

But in the ears of these students who have just learned English, the difference between the two is really too big.

Meiying likes rolling sounds. Except for Mrs, they will reflect every r sound in the word, especially emphasizing the retroflex sound of r at the end of the word. They are used to voiceless consonants, and unstressed chapters located between two vowels/ t/ is pronounced /d/.

So after Wang Yan read it once, Anya read those few words again, and Zhang Yuanyuan heard that it was completely wrong.

To give the simplest example, the word can't, Wang Yan pronounced it as Kangte, but Anya pronounced it as Can't, obviously the difference can be heard.

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yan, waiting for him to make a judgment, but Wang Yan looked at Anya almost stunned.

He majored in English, and others don't understand it, but he knows it very well.English and English are often used in international formal occasions, but now the United States and Britain are more popular for communication. After all, there is less time for presentations and more daily communication...

But how could Anya use American English so naturally and fluently?
What about the native Daqiao villager who dropped out of the third grade of elementary school?
Wang Yan highly doubts that if he reveals Anya's identity, it will not arouse the competitiveness of the students in the class, but will blow everyone's confidence to pieces...

Wang Yan just looked at Anya and didn't speak for a long time, so Zhang Yuanyuan could only ask: "Teacher Wang?"

Only then did Wang Yan come to his senses, with a complicated expression on his face: "An Ya just read American English, that's right; however, you still have to follow me to learn British English. Student Anya, you can go back to your seat."

Anya walked off the podium calmly. Before she could get to her seat, she saw Xu Zhenming giving her a thumbs up secretly. She was afraid that she didn't see it, so she shook it deliberately.

Anya smiled and stretched out her hand to make a "V" sign, and quickly passed him and sat on her seat, not noticing that Chao Chen, who was next to Xu Zhenming, was staring at her with bright eyes just now.

"Very good, everyone will learn from Anya in the future. I hope that in the future, more people will stand in front of the blackboard to read and write confidently like Anya." Wang Yan's words drew back the students' attention , started today's lecture.

Zhang Yuanyuan, who would have listened attentively, became distracted in a rare way.

What Teacher Wang said just now is "you still have to learn British English with me", what does this mean?Does it mean that Anya is different from them and can use American English?
Where did this Anya transfer from, and why was she treated differently?
She doesn't believe it anymore, she will be transferred to their small county, and the family can still be a diplomat?
Zhang Yuanyuan, who has always been proud of her English performance, had some small emotions in her heart, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

A class was over soon, and when Wang Yan left the classroom with the lesson plan, An Ya quickly got up and greeted her through the back door: "Mr. Wang..."

Zhang Yuanyuan sat still in her seat, watching Teacher Wang and Anya standing in the corridor talking through the window glass.

Not knowing what Anya said, Teacher Wang laughed, and he could see that he was in a very happy mood.

"What a sycophant!" Someone next to him whispered contemptuously.

Zhang Yuanyuan turned her head and saw that it was her good friend Ruan Qiuyue, she quickly responded nonchalantly: "Maybe she is asking Teacher Wang for homework?"

Ruan Qiuyue snorted: "Yuanyuan, you can take care of yourself. She cheers up as soon as she comes, as if she is very good at English. Be careful if she flatters Teacher Wang a few times, Teacher Wang will replace the English class representative with you. She did!"

Zhang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat.

In the last semester, Mr. Wang said that the class cadres are not static, and those who are capable live there.If Anya's English score surpasses hers, will the English class representative of this semester be replaced?
Thinking of the proud tone of my parents when they told their acquaintances and friends that they have always been the English class representative in the class, the feeling that made Zhang Yuanyuan feel uncomfortable just now suddenly increased a little...
