The result is that Qiao Siling's scores ranked fifth in the city, and Li Xuan's scores ranked tenth in the city. Just talking about Li Xuan's comprehensive science and Qiao Siling's comprehensive arts, their rankings in the city were even higher. After knowing these results, the teachers of No. 2 Middle School
All quite a surprise.
It is true that No. 2 Middle School is a provincial key school, but its ranking in the city can only be considered at the forefront, not among the top groups. Examples include Experimental Middle School, Hua Affiliated Middle School, Foreign Languages Middle School, Mingya Middle School, etc., which have always been ranked high.
No. 2 Middle School, not only the competition, but also the focus rate of the college entrance examination is higher than No. 2 Middle School.
Every time the city takes the unified examination, top high schools such as Experimental Middle School and Hua Affiliated Middle School almost take over the top ten, and the results of the second middle school students are very few among the top 100 in the city, let alone the top ten. The fact that students can achieve such results is already considered huge.
of surprise.
The principal of the No. 2 Middle School went to the office of the teaching team of the first year of high school and specifically praised the results of the first year of high school.
Speaking of this result, the principal was also surprised, "In this city's mid-term unified examination, our school performed best in the first year of high school. Not only did two people enter the top ten in the city, there were also many people in the top 100."
The grade principal couldn't help but smile after hearing this and said: "Principal, I actually feel that it is the efforts of the students that have achieved such excellent results. It is also thanks to Li Xuan that his appearance has made the students with the best academic performance unprecedented.
By working hard, other people were also infected."
The principal didn't know who Li Xuan was, so the grade chief told him about Li Xuan. He was in a special class called Class 12, but his grades were amazing. Not only did he do well in exams, but he also performed well in math competitions and won the No. 2 Middle School Award.
The only perfect score.
"He also got the perfect score in the Chaoyang Cup Mathematics Competition?" The principal was surprised just now, and now he is surprised.
"That's him."
"Tsk tsk..."
It's probably this feeling of being in an adverse situation, but bursting out with huge energy. Anyway, after hearing this, the principal nodded repeatedly and was amazed.
So, at the national flag-raising ceremony the next Monday after the midterm exam results came out, the principal praised Li Xuan in front of all the teachers and students in the school, saying that there is a student in our school who studies hard.
As things went by, Li Xuan was also arranged to give a speech under the national flag at Gao Yi's national flag-raising ceremony.
About this incident, Zhao Dongming informed Li Xuan in advance a week before that he would prepare a speech for a speech under the national flag. Although Li Xuan knew that few students would listen carefully to the speech, it was indispensable to write a speech carefully.
All students who can speak under the national flag have performed very well in some aspect, have particularly good grades, or have done a good job as students. This is also an honor.
When the national anthem ended and the principal finished his speech, it was Li Xuan's turn to appear. He was not in the queue with other students. He followed Qiao Siling, a member of the student union, and waited for a long time.
When it was time for him to appear, he heard the principal talking about him, so he walked slowly to the flag, picked up the microphone, and prepared to give his speech.
The sun was still shining brightly on this day, and the wind was strong, making Li Xuan's clothes rustle.
Qiao Siling stood next to the national flag, behind Li Xuan, looking at Li Xuan silently.
Xu Lingchu was watching quietly from the student team below, her clear eyes slightly gleaming, and a slight smile floating on her lips. She also had a mobile phone in her hand, ready to record Li Xuan's speech.
Xu Ming was also watching, with an indescribable expression on his face.
Except for the faces of the students in the first few rows, the students behind could not see it. Li Xuan took a deep breath and began his speech:
"Today, the topic of our speech is, why study."
Li Xuan glanced at the students in the audience, simply put away the speech, and started talking as if chatting:
"First of all, I want to say that I am very happy to share these few minutes with you. Of course, I know that many of you are not willing to share with me because you think it is too boring and too general. I can understand this feeling, because
Before, I didn’t really like listening to other people’s speeches in the audience, and I didn’t find them interesting.”
There was laughter and applause. Li Xuan's humor was very effective. Many students found it very resonant. They were attracted by Li Xuan's words and began to listen to Li Xuan's speech.
Li Xuan smiled and continued: "But standing here, I still hope that everyone can think with me in these few minutes, why do we study?"
"Before high school, I really didn't think about this problem. When I studied, read, and completed homework, I completely obeyed the requirements of my parents and teachers. I think most of my classmates, like me, went to school on time every day and listened to classes, and they were passive.
, forced.”
"It's very bad to think like this. If it's just like this, even if we strictly follow the instructions of our parents and teachers during school, and get into a good university in the college entrance examination, we still don't understand that our hard work is the goal of life and why we should study.
, we have made a lot of efforts in our youth, but when we go to college in the future, we are likely to lose our direction and do nothing."
"Our reading now will lose its meaning."
"What I want to say is that we study for ourselves. In the past, I didn't get up very early and always slept in. One day, I suddenly realized, do my parents like to get up early? Could it be that my parents don't like to sleep in and have to get up early to cook.
Work?"
"No, our parents watch over our studies and don't let us play games all day long. It is our parents who love us and are responsible for our future. But in fact, aren't we ourselves responsible for our own lives? Apart from us, there is no one else
People should be responsible for our lives. I think everyone can understand that we study not for our parents, but for ourselves."
At first, there was some small commotion in the audience, but at this point, the audience became quiet, and Li Xuan didn't know if his words had any effect.
As he spoke, Li Xuan was also infected by his own emotions and could not care about the expressions of the students in the audience. His tone was very sincere, like a good friend talking to you, which was very touching.
Not only the students in the audience, but also the teachers were deeply affected. It was very different from the previous students’ speeches under the national flag. Li Xuan’s speech gave people the impression that it was his thinking, not a show.
Xu Lingchu stared at Li Xuan blankly, his eyes unblinking. Li Xuan on the stage was calm and confident, his words were contagious, and he did not appear nervous at all. This kind of demeanor is not found in ordinary students, and it makes people feel very dazzling.
.
She didn't expect Li Xuan's speech to be so good. She glanced at the classmates around her, and they all listened with rapt attention. At this time, she was glad that she had recorded Li Xuan's speech from the beginning.
Li Xuan continued: "Geniuses and talents must be useful. I believe that everyone is born with talents and no one is born a waste. School provides us with the opportunity to discover our talents."
"Some people are very good at composition, and they may become famous writers one day in the future. But if you don't read books and practice your writing skills now, you won't have that so-called future. We can work hard for it now, and even participate in new concept composition
To train in competitions like this.”
"There are also people who want to be officials in the future, but if they don't participate in the student union or go to debate competitions now, they don't know whether they have the ability or whether their personality is suitable."
"Whether you want to be a doctor, an architect, or have other dreams, you need corresponding education. But what many people don't understand is that only good universities can give us the education we want. There is no such thing as not studying in the world.
Just the sweet dream of realizing your dream. If you don’t study, you won’t even have the foundation to realize your dream.”
"Too many, the first step to realize our dreams is to go to a good university. Therefore, in fact, the college entrance examination is not about realizing our dreams, but just opening the door to our dreams. This is the meaning of our efforts in the three years of high school."
"Studying is not just to deal with teachers and parents, but to discover our talents, find our dreams, and work hard for it. This is the meaning of coming to school."
"That's why I study."
"Of course, maybe many of our classmates don't have the conditions to study, or have family difficulties, or have a weak foundation, or other difficulties, but this is not the reason why we don't work hard or study hard."
"Those who have a will, things can come true. Even if all the cauldrons and boats are broken, millions of Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu. If you work hard, God will not let you down. If you sleep on your salary and taste your courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu. The future is in our hands, and we will encourage you together."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, the playground was silent and deathly quiet.
Li Xuan only felt on the stage that he was a little emotional because of his speech, but he didn't know what the effect was. He took a deep breath, bowed to everyone, turned around and walked away, leaving everyone in a cool mood.
's back.
At this moment, thunderous applause suddenly erupted from the audience. It lasted for a long time, and the huge sound wave almost broke into the sky. Li Xuan did not expect that he was frightened by the sudden applause.
The principal also clapped spontaneously, and was deeply moved. His eyes were a little moist. He remembered that he also came from a rural area and relied on studying to get where he is today.
