Chapter 28 I Don't Like English

In just one day, Principal Wang’s speech spread throughout the primary school department and even among the teachers.

It is difficult for teachers to evaluate this leader, but it does not prevent students from evaluating him.

In fact, what Principal Wang said is not without reason. However, these words are not suitable for this school and are completely different from the educational philosophy of this school.

Jingcheng International School, a school that provides international education, creates a multicultural environment, attracts students from different countries and cultural backgrounds, and enables students to be exposed to different cultures and values.

The school mainly focuses on Western-style education, not to mention the high tuition fees.

Hundreds of thousands for one semester.

But Principal Wang has to integrate into Chinese-style education in a short period of time.

It is not impossible to combine Western education with Chinese education. It just takes time, and we cannot rush or force the integration.

Chi Feiwan’s junior high school homeroom teacher was a young foreign female teacher who taught them English.

International schools offer courses in Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, natural sciences, global perspectives, social sciences, and computer science. IB programs include language acquisition, language and literature, mathematics, science, individuals and society, art, design, and sports and health.

Courses in arts and sports classes. These courses include music, dance, drama, sports, etc., focusing on cultivating students' artistic and sports specialties.

Lessons in minority languages, such as Japanese and German, provide support for students with special language learning needs.

Personalized courses. These courses include special courses such as art, sports, competitions, clubs, etc., which are designed to explore students' interests and strengths and broaden their options for applying to study abroad in the future.

However, personalized classes are only available to senior students.

Chi Feiwan's class is a diverse class with wealthy families from all over the world.

Because there were foreigners in the class, there were many students with blue eyes like her, so fewer people paid attention to Chi Feiwan.

What a coincidence, Jiang Huaixu and Chi Feiwan are deskmates, and there are very few Chinese people in their class.

Since it is an international school, most of the communication is in English, and Chi Feiwan could not understand some of the more advanced vocabulary.

She may be the worst at English in the whole class.

Jiang Huaixu always looks lazy in every class, which is in stark contrast to Chi Feiwan's seriousness.

Jiang Huaixu has a specific action to pass the time, which is spinning a pen. Whenever he is bored or thinking, he will spin a pen in his hand, and sometimes it might be a coin.

The English words in the PPT on the screen were sliding quickly, and Chi Feiwan was taking notes a little slowly.

When she looked at her notes, she found that her handwriting was relatively neat, without any cursive or connected strokes throughout the pages, which also resulted in her being unable to keep up with the teacher's pace of lectures.

With foreigners in the class listening to their native language, English classes become a piece of cake.

When there are many foreigners in a class, the teacher will take care of the majority group.

Jiang Huaixu and Chi Feiwan sat by the window. Chi Feiwan was shorter than Jiang Huaixu, so the two of them were seated in the middle.

Jiang Huaixu stopped what he was doing and asked Chi Feiwan in a low voice: "Why were you so good at English in elementary school?"

The English teacher in elementary school was Chinese, and she mostly taught grammar. When I got to junior high school, I had a foreign teacher, and the way of teaching changed. Grammar was no longer important. In the current English class, this English teacher focuses on daily conversations, and Chi Feiwan is a little uncomfortable with it.

"Primary school is primary school, what's more..." She doesn't like English.

When she was a child, Chi Feiwan only thought that her family asked her to come to Beijing to study in an international school because of Jiang Huaixu. When she grew up, she went to an international school not only for Jiang Huaixu, but also to make plans for studying abroad in the future.

Chi Feiwan doesn't want to go abroad to study.

Jiang Huaixu laughed, "Don't like it? But if you don't study English well, your situation in school will become very difficult during your three years of junior high school."

In international schools, students usually communicate mostly in English.

Chinese people speak Chinese with each other, and Chinese people communicate with foreigners in English.

Although there are more Chinese students in this school, there are more foreign teachers than Chinese teachers, and even the principal is a foreigner.

Of course, the school offers Chinese language courses, so there are still Chinese and foreigners communicating in Chinese.

It’s just that Chinese is difficult and it’s hard to communicate smoothly in daily life in a short period of time.

"Wanwan, English is very simple."

Chi Feiwan blinked his eyes, and the forty-minute class finally ended.

Chi Feiwan didn't like the whole morning. Because of his excellent math grades, he was forced by the math teacher to be the math class representative, regardless of whether Chi Feiwan was willing or not.

The math teacher was a middle-aged man with Mediterranean features. He stayed in class for two minutes but did not forget to remind the students: "If you have any math problems you don't understand, you can ask the class representative." He added an English translation at the end.

After class, some studious students gathered around Chi Feiwan and placed their exercise books on his desk one by one.

"I didn't understand the last question the class representative asked. The old man spoke too fast."

"How to choose the option for the class representative question?"

(How do you get the options for the class representative question?)

……

Chi Feiwan said, "Stop! Come one by one."

"There are eight minutes left and I may not be able to cover much. If you are not covered, come find me next class or ask the teacher."

"There may not be much to talk about in the remaining eight minutes. If we haven't talked about you, you can ask me or ask the teacher in the next class." Jiang Huaixu translated in a standard British accent to the students who could not understand Chinese.

Chi Feiwan looked at Jiang Huaixu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you."
