Chapter 629: : Make it to the top 20 (3 more)


    The preliminary contest of the National College English Contest that Xia Xian knows is held in April every year.


    Both the preliminary and semi-finals are held locally at the university.


    However, Xia Xian is now participating in thepetition, not hesitating to mobilize the crowd, and invite the contestants from various ces to the finals to the capital, which shows the importance of the Ministry of Education.


    "It shows that you all have a mission on your shoulders. The firstpetition has a great influence and will be held every year in the future."


    Yao Xia Xian said that "English" formally joined the college entrance examinationst year, regardless of liberal arts and science subjects are the main subjects, the Ministry of Education organized the national college students Englishpetition for positive publicity, to mobilize the enthusiasm of the majority of candidates to learn English.


    The teachers in the Department of Foreign Languages asked everyone to be wary of thepetition of the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute. This school is definitely not as good as Huaqing and Beijing University in terms ofprehensive strength. If you want to speaknguage, that is the top in the country.


    Professional, m a group of non-professionals. I don''t know what''s going on. There are only 3 finalists from the School of Foreign Languages.


    "Because none of the English majors of the School of Foreign Languages registered, this is also Mr Xu''s opinion."


    Teacher Lin''s tone is brisk, and she also respects Xu Lao.


    There are 28nguages in the Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages. English is only one of them. Except for English, it means that all the 3 contestants who entered the finals are learning othernguages-very good and powerful, and they deserve the status of a professional big brother.


    The expressions of the two foreignnguage students of Huaqing University changed.


    Xia Xian didn''t think it was a big deal. The ruler had some shorings and some strengths. It was originally a specializednguage university. If her English major also came to participate in thepetition, what else would other universities y?


    It is also the firstpetition and has no experience yet.


    In the future, the National College English Competition will be divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Category A is for graduate students, Category B is for undergraduate and junior college students majoring in English, and Category C is for undergraduate and junior college students who are not majoring in English. As for Category D, It is attended by college students in sports and medical sses.


    It should be professional and professional to fight, amateur and amateur y is right.


    Now, the various systems have not yet been perfected. The TOEFL test was avable in 1981, but in 1985, the CET-4 and CET-6 test that has tortured college students for many years has not yete out!


    This time the final was held at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute. The Foreign Languages Institute is located in the West Third Ring Road, and the distance from the Beijing Normal University is no more than 3 kilometers. Xia Xian couldn''t help but ask Teacher Lin:


    "Do you know that there are students from the Beijing Normal University who have entered the finals this year?"


    Teacher Lin thought for a while, not sure:


    "It seems that there is one... Well, Teacher He, is there one student from Jingcheng Normal University entering the final?"


    Teacher He is the professor who helped Xia Xian four people.


    He slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it aside. "There is one. Why did you suddenly ask about the Beijing Normal University?"


    Professor He doesn''t care about this kind of opponent.


    There is only one, it will never be Xia Ziyu and Wang Jianhua. Xia Xian remembers that neither of these two have particrly good English scores. The two of them took the college entrance examination in 1983, when their English scores were not fully included in the total score.


    "It''s nothing, I have a fellow at the Beijing Normal University."


    Xia Xian smiled shyly at Professor He, Ji Jiangyuan was closing his eyes and resting, but his mind was spinning at high speed. Xia Xian asked the Beijing Normal University that it should be the kid named Wang Jianhua who came to Huaqingst time in consideration of her annoying future brother-inw.


    Wang Jianhua is from the home of Deputy Director Wang of the Department of Higher Education. Director Wang has also been to Huaqing University before.


    The Wang familys reputation is not very good. Many people in Beijing knew about thest cram school.


    He wanted to talk to Xia Xian. Things happened one after another. Xia Xian really "draws a clear line" with him now. Ji Jiangyuan couldn''t say anything anymore.


    If it is Wang Jianhua, it is really annoying.


    Ji Jiangyuan also didn''t understand that Xia Xian and Zhou Cheng were being targeted, and Wang Jianhua dared toe to the door to be squeaky and crooked. Instructor Zhou looked hard to bully. Ji Jiangyuan doesn''t like to use "privilege" and "ss" to ssify people into three or sixty-nine sses, but some people like it, and he has to go to the countryside to do as he does. ording to the national conditions of China, the Wang family is inferior to the Zhou family, and Ji Jiangyuan himself is deeply impressed.


    Ji Jiangyuan wanted to talk, and realized that he was as disgusting as Wang Jianhua in the eyes of Xia Xian, so he continued to pretend to sleep with his eyes closed.


    To Xia Xian, Ji Jiangyuan thinks too much.


    She really hates Ji Ya. Ji Jiangyuan is implicated and must be behind Wang Jianhua.


    Wang Jianhua will be ranked behind Xia Ziyu. Who is the "murderer" can''t be forgiven. The school bus was swaying, and it was not eight o''clock in the morning when it arrived at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute.


    Xia Xian had breakfast with Teacher Lin.


    These dont need to be paid for by the individual, the school bears it all. Think about it, too, if you want students from other ces toe to Beijing to participate in the finals, you have to pay out of your pocket. You have to scare off a group of people when you buy a ticket. You have to eat and live when you go out, and the average student can''t afford it!


    "9:00-10:30 is the written test, and the oral test is only after the written test. How to test the oral test, you usually practice repeatedly, you just need to perform at a normal level."


    The oral exam has been practiced for a long time.


    It is notplicated, and is divided into three parts. The first is the English self-report, which is to introduce yourself in English and talk about why you like English. The time is limited to 3 minutes.


    The second is the story retelling. First listen to a short audio essay. After listening, give 1 minute to organize thenguage and organize the thinking, and then start retelling the story in your own way. The time should be controlled within 5 minutes.


    The third is to draw a topic to exin your own ideas around this topic, just like Xia Xian drew environmental protection in thest retest, this type of topic appears very frequently, and this time is also 5 minutes.


    A students oral test takes about 15 minutes. For 200 students across the country, doesnt it take 3,000 minutes to rece it with 50 hours?


    Obviously, the Ministry of Education was well prepared. The written test ended at 10:30, and the papers were reviewed immediately after the papers were collected.


    In the end, it was only 20 contestants who could get to the oral part.


    The 180 yers eliminated are all the "third prizes" of this Englishpetition.


    For the remaining 20 yers, the TV station is about to videotape, and the editing performed wonderfully and broadcast it on TV. Xia Xian thinks it is quite a gimmick, but thepetition process is more cruel.


    She felt that the 180 "third prizes" who were eliminated have basically zero chance of going abroad to be an exchange student.


    Whatever happens, you have to go through the entrance test session.


    Xia Xian stretched her fingers. She didnt know how difficult the written test questions were. When she was in college, she also took the CET-4 test. Later, she learned English for work and never took the IELTS test. And TOEFL, there is no way to know your own standard.


    The full score in English for the college entrance examination is not counted, which is too simple for Xia Xian.
