Chapter 105: Showing Inadequacy
There were still two minutes left before the class ended. Chen Fang had already finished talking about the knowledge points for this class. She cleared her throat.
“Students, we can’t just study English. Although grammar and knowledge points are important, we also want to use this language in the future. So everyone should put in more effort in reading aloud.”
“Although you are in class one, don’t be arrogant. There are many excellent students in other classes. In the class 10 that I’m teaching now, there are two students whose oral English is very good. They can beat most of you in your class.”
The ordinary students were a little dissatisfied when they heard this. They were the only important class in the whole grade, and now they were being compared to class 10. The little arrogance in their hearts made them feel very unconvinced.
“Teacher Chen, you’re new to this school and perhaps you don’t know that class 10 is the worst in the entire grade. How can any of them be better than us in our class?”
“That’s right. That bunch of trash from class 10? How is that possible?!”
A male student spoke bluntly.
When Chen Fang heard what they said, she was very displeased with their attitude.
She had been teaching for so many years and had deeply realized that students with poor grades were not bad students. On the contrary, students who were arrogant and complacent were the ones who could turn bad easily.
“Is that so?”
Chen Fang raised her left hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. It showed that the class was about to end in 10 seconds.
“After class ends, don’t leave yet. I’ll call the two students from class 10 down to read aloud to you. I’ll let you see who is the one who reads better.”
The students from class one cheered. They were willing to sacrifice their recess time this time.
To them, it was like watching a show.
The bell rang on time.
Chen Fang called the class monitor of Class 10, Feng Tao.
Feng Tao was baffled after hanging up the phone.
“When did Teacher Chen know my cell phone number? I’m doomed! She won’t punish me knowing that I brought my cell phone to school, right?!”
After feeling shocked for a while, he finally remembered what Chen Fang had told him.
He looked at the last row of the class.
“Cheng Ling! Young Master Ding! Teacher Chen Fang wants the two of you to go to class one, now.”
Ding Yu was leaning on the desk to catch up with his sleep.
Cheng Ling was wearing earphones, so neither of them heard him.
The classmate at the front desk knocked on their desks.
“Go to class one?”
Cheng Ling repeated and then took off her Bluetooth earphones.
Ding Yu also sat up straight from his desk, looking as if he didn’t sleep enough.
Recently, he had been trying very hard to study, but he had failed in every attempt. He didn’t know where to start.
He didn’t study at all during his first and second years of high school. He didn’t even study during his first to the third year of middle school.
When he opened the book again, he found that he couldn’t understand what was in the book.
So he had been staying up late for the past two nights, starting to read the textbooks from the middle school.
He scratched his hair.
“Why are we going to class one?”
Feng Tao shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know.
He looked at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling spread her hands, indicating that she didn’t know either.
So the two of them went downstairs with a confused look on their faces.
When they went downstairs, some students from other classes were already standing at the window and the door of class one.
It was because when they saw that class one remained in class after the bell, they asked them what was going on.
Some students by the window told them what had happened, so now everyone was standing at the door waiting to watch the show.
Cheng Ling and Ding Yu were blocked outside the door and couldn’t get in for quite a while. It was Ding Yu who waved at Chen Fang who was standing on the podium, only then did the people at the door make way for the two of them to enter.
Just as the two of them entered, the whispers in class one immediately turned into laughter.
Gu Nan’s eyes widened slightly.
The classmate who was good in oral English was Cheng Ling?
At this moment, Cheng Xiao was even more surprised. Of course, besides feeling surprised, she was also gloating over Cheng Ling’s misfortune.
This time, she didn’t need to design it. Cheng Ling came to make a fool of herself.
Of course, their laughter was directed at Cheng Ling.
How could they laugh at Ding Yu?
Ding Yu’s proficiency in oral English was known to the whole school. It was already known during the grade-level speech competition.
“Teacher, the person who reads English very well is Cheng Ling? We know that Young Master Ding’s English is good, but if you say that Cheng Ling’s English is good, no one in our class will be convinced.”
Chen Fang had just come to this school for a few days, so she didn’t know about the gossip among the students, much less the relationship between Cheng Ling and Cheng Xiao.
“Teacher, Cheng Ling used to be in our class. Don’t we know about her quality?”
Cheng Ling was standing on the podium. If one to ignore her eyes, she would look so obedient now.
However, a person’s eyes were the windows to their soul. The calmness and indifference in Cheng Ling’s eyes showed that she had nothing to do with being obedient.
She stood beside Chen Fang as if the people below weren’t discussing her.
