The Snail Spirit Travels to the 1970s

Although she had randomly chosen her major in college, she had never been exposed to English and had no idea what English was about, but she was still very happy.

Although the people in the brigade looked down on her family before, after they learned that Zhao Chunxian was admitted to university and knew that Zhao's family was not well off, everyone contributed some money to make up enough money for Zhao Chunxian to go to university, which allowed Zhao Chunxian to come to the Northeast safely.

It was so difficult for Zhao Chunxian to go to school, so naturally she had no way to come into contact with Mandarin. Although the educated youth in the brigade spoke Mandarin, she was not very close to them. When she was in school, the teachers spoke in dialect, so naturally she could not speak these words.

It's good enough that she can understand now.

Although Zhao Chunxian now feels a little uncomfortable about not being able to speak Mandarin, she does not feel too inferior because of this matter. She has the ability to walk out of the mountains, so why would she be afraid that she cannot learn Mandarin?

So Zhao Chunxian always treated Tian Tian and others with a normal attitude.

The next day, when all the people in their dormitory gathered, the people in their class met formally. After taking turns to introduce themselves on stage, everyone elected a class monitor and a study committee member under the guidance of the counselor.

If Tian Tian had encountered such a thing in her previous life, she would definitely shrink back, but Tian Tian doesn't want this to happen in this life. She also wants to give it a try. Even if she is not selected, she still wants to train herself.

So when the teacher asked if any students would like to recommend themselves, Tian Tian bravely raised her hand.

There was another boy who also raised his hand.

Tian Tian turned her head and looked at the boy curiously. The boy was very fair-skinned and wore a white shirt, black pants, small leather shoes and glasses. He looked very gentle, but there was a sharpness in his eyes, which showed that he was determined to get this position.

This boy was also in their class and had just introduced himself. However, there were about fifty people in their class and Tian Tian didn't remember who was who, so she just nodded slightly to the boy.

When the students below saw the two of them raising their hands to fight for it, they all started whispering.

"Since these two students are both interested in competing for the position of class monitor, why don't we just let them go on stage and give a speech. The classmates can vote for them based on their performance and speeches. Whoever gets the most votes will be the class monitor of our class!" The counselor clapped his hands, trying to draw everyone's attention to himself, and tried to raise his voice so that everyone could hear what he said.

Nowadays, those who can be admitted to university are all studious and very respectful to teachers. After discussing for a while, they no longer whispered about what the counselor said, and all listened to the counselor carefully.

Seeing that everyone was behaving well, the instructor nodded with satisfaction and called Tian Tian and the boy to speak.

After hearing the instructor calling the boy, Tian Tian realized that the boy's name was Xiang Baichuan, a pretty nice name.

Xiang Baichuan spoke in a very official manner, but his speech was clear and logical, and he listed his advantages with reason and evidence. Tian Tian felt that if she spoke step by step, she might not be able to gain a greater advantage over Xiang Baichuan.

However, Tian Tian also has her own advantages. Although she was not an English major in her previous life, she had studied English for many years and passed the exam on her own.

She wouldn't say how standard her English pronunciation is, but at least she can give a simple self-introduction in English.

Fortunately, in their previous life, their English teacher often asked them to write self-introductions, and they had to write one every year during their three years of high school. The first class in college was also an English self-introduction. It only consisted of a few sentences, and Tian Tian deleted and added a few sentences based on the characteristics of the times, and it became a very standard self-introduction that was very characteristic of the times.

Tian Tian is very thankful that her study career in her previous life had engraved English into her bones. She had read through English vocabulary books to pieces when she was preparing for the college entrance examination and level tests. Although she has forgotten a lot of them now, there are still some words like abandon that she remembers deeply.

Tian Tian was writing an English composition in her mind while Xiang Baichuan was giving a passionate speech on the stage, which made the students in the audience excited.

As Xiang Baichuan finished his last word, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Next it was Tian Tian's turn. Just now Tian Tian was concentrating on writing her composition, which was fine. Now it was Tian Tian's turn to go on stage. Tian Tian looked at the people below the stage and felt a little nervous. Her legs felt a little weak. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and stood on the podium.

First, she briefly introduced herself in English, and then translated what she had just said.

Tian Tian's background is not as good as Xiang Baichuan's, and her family conditions are not as good as his. She certainly cannot tell others about the things she has seen now.

But Tian Tian is better than Xiang Baichuan in one respect, that is, she came from the future and knows a lot of learning methods. She has tried them herself and they are indeed useful.

Tian Tian gave two examples and told everyone two ways to learn English, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. Finally, Tian Tian said that she was willing to help everyone learn and improve, and would share her own methods with everyone.

After Tian Tian finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause again.

Tian Tian's short self-introduction in English at the beginning shocked everyone.

Now there are very few people who can speak English, mainly because they were not given an environment to learn English before. Although some people may learn English privately through other channels, they still have some concerns and worries in their hearts when asked to speak on the stage so openly.

So when Tian Tian went on stage to speak English, they felt both admiration and worry. They admired Tian Tian for speaking fluent English, but they were also worried whether something might happen to Tian Tian because of English. The past ten years of life had already left a deep mark in their minds, and they were always worried whether someone would end up like before.

"Okay, both students have finished speaking. Now everyone write down the names you want to vote for on paper. We will collect the votes and count them publicly later. Whoever gets the most votes will be the class monitor!" said the instructor on the stage, and repeated the names of Xiang Baichuan and Tian Tian before letting Xiang Baichuan come on stage.

"What you said just now was very good." Xiang Baichuan said in a low voice while standing next to Tian Tian.

"Thank you!" Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed.

"Have you studied English before? Your English pronunciation is quite standard." Xiang Baichuan asked.
