Real or Fake Missy : I Have a Piece of Godly Land Novel - Chapter 106
Chapter 106: There Is Always Someone Better Than You
Many of the students in the corridor had already taken out their phones and turned on the camera mode. They certainly wanted to record such a scene of a great battle.
Chen Fang patted the podium.
“All of you, please be quiet.”
Ding Yu did not have a good impression of this group of class one students. He glanced at them and asked, “Teacher, why did you ask the two of us to come down?”
Chen Fang picked up the textbook.
“Nothing much. I just wanted the two of you to read the new text that we are going to study this afternoon.”
Cheng Ling was a little confused.
She thought it was a public criticism meeting. She did not expect it to be reading the text!
“Don’t waste time. Ding Yu, you go first.”
Ding Yu took the textbook from Chen Fang and began to read.
His level was still as good as before, except for some new words that he didn’t know and needed to pause to pronounce. Everything went well.
The students down there looked at each other.
They acknowledged that Ding Yu’s English was good. Even after Ding Yu finished reading, some of the students below applauded.
“Very good, you read well. But some words haven’t been stressed correctly.”
“Come, Cheng Ling, read the text again.”
Ding Yu handed the book in his hand to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling took it and started reading without hesitation.
Cheng Xiao had just read this text. She stumbled through it for almost two minutes, but Cheng Ling finished it in less than a minute. She read it quickly and accurately.
When Cheng Ling started to read, there were still people in the audience whispering and waiting to mock Cheng Ling. However, the more Cheng Ling read, the quieter the audience became. In the end, no one spoke anymore, and it became silent.
Until Cheng Ling finished reading, everyone was still stunned.
Ding Yu was the first to applaud.
Some of the students standing outside also applauded, but the applause was sparse.
Chen Fang smiled.
“Cheng Ling’s reading is even better. Cheng Ling didn’t make any of the mistakes that Ding Yu made just now. Did you all hear that? Are they better than the students who stood up just now?”
The students that Chen Fang was referring to certainly included Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao had never heard Cheng Ling speak English before. She initially thought that Cheng Ling’s English would definitely be worse than hers. She didn’t expect Cheng Ling to be able to speak standard American English.
She could not find any mistakes.
A few of the students in class one were still unconvinced. “Teacher, Ding Yu has just read this paragraph. Maybe Cheng Ling did not know those words in the first place and it was because she heard Ding Yu read it aloud that she learned it.”
Facing the students’ doubts, Chen Fang quickly thought of another method.
“Then how about this. You guys pick any article and let Cheng Ling read it. If Cheng Ling still reads it well, you guys can put away your prejudices in the future.”
“Sure, no problem!”
Therefore, one of the students took out his phone and searched for a text from a college English textbook.
“Let’s do this.”
Chen Fang took the phone and looked at it, then handed it to Cheng Ling. She knew Cheng Ling’s level, and this was nothing to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling took over the phone and started reading without going through it beforehand.
Cheng Ling’s voice was not delicate. Just like Lu Qi’s voice, it was a little cold. Her tone rose or sank with the meaning of the sentence, as if she was not reading from the article, but talking to someone. Every sentence was filled with emotion.
The students had to believe it now.
“Cheng Ling is really good at reading. If I closed my eyes and listened, I would think it was in a listening test. She is reading like the person in the listening test.”
“Yeah, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that her grades are bad? Why does she seem to be doing better than Cheng Xiao?”
Cheng Xiao clenched her fists tighter and tighter, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
Cheng Ling picked three paragraphs to read. After she finished reading, she handed her phone back to Chen Fang.
From the beginning to the end, her emotions were indifferent.
Cheng Xiao hated Cheng Ling the most. She always acted like she didn’t care. But she wanted to compete with her in everything!
“How is it? Are there any students who are not satisfied? Challenge them at any time.”
This time, no one dared to raise their hands.
“Let’s end this lesson here. I hope today you will learn more than just English. There is always someone better than you.”
The students in class one were all mute.
The students who had taken the video in the corridor had uploaded the video to the school forum.
Chen Fang packed her things.
“Cheng Ling, come with me to the office. I have something for you.”
After class, Gu Nan took the physics exercise book and followed them out.
Cheng Xiao knew that Gu Nan was going to Sun Qi’s place when she saw him take the physics exercise book out.
Cheng Xiao didn’t care about the comments of her classmates about the incident just now. She took the exercise book and followed him.
