little stutter

When Chen Xin returned to the classroom, all the students in the classroom were lowering their heads to change the test papers. Only Cheng Xin kept paying attention to the movement outside. When he saw Chen Xin coming in, he asked him in a low voice, "What did Brother Jun tell you?"

Chen Xin took Cheng Xin's notebook and wrote on it: The teacher asked me if I wanted to speak as a student representative.

Cheng Xin raised his eyebrows: "Then did you agree?"

Chen Xin frowned and thought about it, and wrote: I'm thinking about it.

Cheng Xin instantly understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "Go, go. Give it a try, you can do it!"

Chen Xin looked into his eyes and said with some confidence: "Really?"

Cheng Xin nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, you have to believe in yourself. Didn't you also give a speech in English last semester? Your speaking is better now than back then. I support you to challenge it."

After listening to it, Chen Xin wrote: I will think about it again.

Cheng Xin looked at him and didn't say anything else. This kind of thing is indeed a big challenge for Chen Xin, and he should think about it carefully.

Chen Xin couldn't calm down in her heart, and was always struggling with whether to give a speech.He took a piece of paper and listed the possible disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantage is that he exposes his flaws to the teachers and students in the school and becomes the laughing stock of everyone; There are benefits.

Cheng Xin didn't do his own business all the time, but secretly followed Chen Xin's movements. After reading what he wrote, he couldn't help but add a sentence at the end: It's actually not that serious. No one is perfect. You are so powerful. Powerful, with a few minor flaws that make it feel more real.

Chen Xin turned her head and looked at Cheng Xin with piercing eyes.Cheng Xin bared his teeth and smiled at him: "Actually, you can try to tease your stuttering when you are giving a speech. Everyone sees that you don't care about yourself, and you probably won't mind."

A light flashed in Chen Xin's eyes, this method seems to be good: "Then, I will go?"

Cheng Xin nodded: "Go! You can practice first, and I will accompany you to the playground platform to try tonight?"

Chen Xin quickly waved her hand: "No, I, I haven't written the manuscript yet."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a manuscript. Just stand on the stage and talk. You can say whatever you want. First, get familiar with the environment and find out how you feel." Cheng Xin grinned.

The physics teacher walked into the classroom, saw them talking together, walked over with a straight face, and knocked on Cheng Xin's desk: "Keep quiet in class! Don't smile."

Cheng Xin bared his teeth and smiled: "Okay, teacher."

Chen Xin blushed and lowered her head, but the teacher didn't say anything. He is the treasure in the palm of all the teachers. Even if he talks small things in class, others must take the lead.

The teacher left, and Chen Xin wrote a sentence in the notebook: I'm sorry, I caused you to be criticized.

Cheng Xin replied: Hee hee, it doesn't matter, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.

Chen Xin sneaked a glance at Cheng Xin, and found that his face was full of indifference, thinking, if only she was as indifferent as him.

After evening self-study, Cheng Xin dragged Chen Xin to the playground.This is the busiest time in the school, and everyone is rushing back to wash and sleep; many young couples take advantage of half an hour before the lights are turned off, and hurry up to go out for a date. The dimly lit playground is undoubtedly the best Choose; there are also people running around the playground; even naughty boys are yelling strangely on the edge of the playground, as if they are venting their excess energy.

In early autumn, the autumn tiger is still raging, and some early-blooming osmanthus seeds have revealed their fragrance, and there are faint osmanthus and youthful restlessness floating in the air.Pulled by Cheng Xin, Chen Xin climbed onto the unlit rostrum. A young couple had already occupied the rostrum, sitting on the edge of the rostrum with their legs hanging down.

Seeing someone there, Chen Xin quickly gave Cheng Xin a hand and said in a low voice, "Forget it, let's go."

Cheng Xin ignored him, coughed loudly, and said in a rough voice, "What class are you doing here?"

The startled mandarin duck looked back at them, and the boy said dissatisfiedly, "What's none of your business?"

Cheng Xin said: "I belong to the student union. You people have corrupt morals, ignore school discipline and class rules, and openly fall in love. Come with me to the teaching office."

The girl was a little scared when she heard that, she quickly pulled the boy and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Although the boy was a little reluctant, he still obeyed his girlfriend, got up and left.

Chen Xin was stunned watching from the side: That's okay, he's too good at nonsense.

When the boys and girls walked away, Cheng Xin said triumphantly, "How about it, did I pretend to be pretty just now?"

Chen Xin couldn't help laughing out loud.Cheng Xin said: "Okay, don't worship brother too much. Get rid of the obstacles and get down to business. You should stand here to speak that day, with a group of radish in the dark, and then you talk to a group of radish. Come on, try .” He said and pulled Chen Xin over.

Chen Xin laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up. Isn't he himself down here?

Seeing that he was smiling so happily, Cheng Xin couldn't help laughing: "Am I wrong? Just treat everyone as carrots."

Chen Xin laughed for a long time before stopping. He straightened up and looked at the empty and dark playground below. Although no one noticed him, he was inexplicably nervous. All the teachers and students in the school would be watching him that day. More than 2000 pairs of eyes, even a person with normal physiology may be too nervous to speak, let alone a stutterer himself.Thinking of this, Chen Xin panicked, and he took two steps back: "Forget it, forget it, I still don't, don't say it."

Cheng Xin grabbed him: "What's the matter, do you feel scared?"

Chen Xin nodded frankly: "Yes."

Cheng Xin said: "There's nothing to be afraid of. Look at me: hello everyone, fat friends! Have you eaten? Have you stretched again after eating? If you haven't stretched, hurry to stretch..." He said everything It's nonsense, and the voice is not low, which attracts all the dating couples to look this way.

Chen Xin was so teased by him that she couldn't help laughing, she quickly hid in the corner, and said with a smile, "I don't know you."

Cheng Xin pulled him back: "Look, it's that simple, try to say a few words."

Chen Xin stood there, Cheng Xin supported his shoulders, patted his waist, and pinched his chin with his hand to adjust the position: "Hold your head up, yes, that's it. Take a deep breath, Don't be nervous, there is no one below now, so you can talk as usual."

Chen Xin stood up according to Cheng Xin's request, and tried to open her mouth: "I..." After that, she couldn't speak.

Cheng Xin was not impatient, but encouraged him peacefully: "Go on, just say whatever you want."

Chen Xin lowered her voice and said, "I, I dare not say it loudly."

Cheng Xin said: "I didn't ask you to speak loudly. There must be a microphone at that time. You can speak as loudly as you want, just as usual."

Chen Xin stood and pondered for a while, then said, "It seems that the lights are going to be turned off soon, let's go."

Cheng Xin waited for a long time, and finally came to this sentence, a kind of swelled arrogance seemed to be poked a hole, and it collapsed in an instant: "That's it? Haha, Chen Xin, can you stop being so funny?" , I am so happy."

Chen Xin puffed his cheeks. This is what he wanted to say at the moment. Cheng Xin stretched out his hand and pinched his cheeks: "I didn't expect you to be cute sometimes, but you are really cute, very cute. Okay, go back, tomorrow daytime Come again."

"Re-come?" Chen Xin was about to give up, he felt that he would not be able to say a word by then.

Cheng Xin squinted at him: "Come on, of course! You said that you easily passed the exam with more than 700 points, and your writing is eloquent. In my opinion, you are the Monkey King who can go to heaven and enter the earth. He can do a speech in just 2 minutes." Not sure? Whether others believe it or not, I don’t believe it anyway.”

Chen Xin gave him an elbow: "You are the monkey."

Cheng Xin put his arms around his neck: "Haha, the monkey is so cute, especially the monkey's red butt is so distinctive."

Chen Xin was a little speechless. Why did he talk about the monkey's butt again? It's really nonsensical.

The next day, Fang Juan came to Chen Xin to ask for an answer. Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I'll go."

Fang Jun smiled: "Okay, prepare a manuscript of a few hundred words, praise the school, and then share your learning experience. Prepare well, and the ceremony will start on Friday morning."

Chen Xin nodded: "Okay." Today is Tuesday, and there are still more than two days to prepare. I hope I can make it in time, and don't make any big troubles by then, or I won't be able to step down.

Naturally, Cheng Xin knew about this right away, so as soon as the exercise in the morning was over, Cheng Xin went up against the flow of people leaving, stopped Chen Xin, and hooked his neck: "Follow me."

Chen Xin was dragged by him to go directly to the rostrum. The physical education teacher was coming down from the stage and saw them coming: "Cheng Xin, are you busy? I figured it out. Are you going to join the basketball team?"

Cheng Xin quickly denied: "No, we have something to do up there."

Although Chen Xin didn't want to go there, she followed Cheng Xin to the rostrum. The students on the playground were almost done walking, and everyone turned their backs to the rostrum. No one noticed them on the stage.Cheng Xin pointed to the group of people and said, "I'll take you up here to feel the atmosphere. Have you seen them? They will all face you the day after tomorrow."

Chen Xin stood on the stage, in broad daylight, without any cover, and without the cover of night, she felt a little weak in her legs.He only stood there for a moment, then came down as if fleeing: "No, no, I really, really can't say."

Cheng Xin showed a sly smile: "Now I have told the principal, if you can't do it, you have to do it, and drive the ducks to the shelves. Don't worry, I will have a way for you to speak normally."

Chen Xin looked at him in disbelief: "Really, what can I do?"

Cheng Xin made a fool of himself: "Shanren has his own tricks, this is the trump card, and it will be interesting to reveal it at the end."

Chen Xin didn't know what clever plan he had, but after hearing what he said, she felt inexplicably reassured, and finally settled down to write the speech.In order to speak as little as possible, he wrote his speeches very concisely, not exceeding 400 words. Others can finish reading 400 words in less than 1 minute. If it was given to him, it would take two to three minutes, so he should try his best to write the speech shorter.

After the manuscript was written, he began to recite the manuscript, trying to memorize the content as much as possible. Although he would not talk about it when the time came, the more familiar he was with the manuscript, the better.

Cheng Xin has also been helping him to adapt, such as letting him read to a few roommates in the dormitory, and running to the rostrum to practice in front of the empty playground during the lunch break.Although Chen Xin has memorized the manuscript by heart, just like the original English speech, she still stutters when she speaks, but the pronunciation of Chinese characters is better than that of English words, and the stuttering is not so serious.

Before registering for class at noon on Thursday, Cheng Xin suddenly said to Chen Xin: "Do you want to try it in our class?"

Chen Xin didn't react: "Huh?"

Cheng Xin said: "It's tomorrow's speech. You can practice it in our class first. It may be good for you tomorrow."

In fact, Chen Xin already knew that he would definitely make a fool of himself tomorrow, because no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him not to stutter at all, so is it necessary to embarrass one more time in front of the whole class?Chen Xin hesitated, he looked at Cheng Xin, Cheng Xin nodded to him, eyes full of encouragement.

Chen Xin nodded hesitantly: "Okay."

The class bell rang, and Chen Xin was about to stand up. Cheng Xin held him down and walked up to the podium. The Chinese class representative who was about to go up to study was stunned for a moment, wondering if he should go up.Their class has the habit of reading newspapers and books, and the teacher asks the representative of the Chinese class to read an article or a piece of news for everyone every day.

Fang Juan just walked into the classroom, saw Cheng Xin coming up, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Xin said: "Teacher, I want to take up a minute or two of everyone's time. It's like this. Chen Xin from our class will speak on the rostrum as a student representative tomorrow, and share his learning experience with you. Everyone knows that he doesn't speak fluently. , I have been practicing hard for the past few days, hoping that the speech will go smoothly, and today he wants the whole class to help him test it, do you think it is okay?"

All the students in the class applauded, Fang Jun also applauded along with him, and nodded to Chen Xin approvingly. He was relieved that Cheng Xin had really grown a lot this year and knew how to think about others.

Chen Xin stood up and walked onto the podium slowly. He stood still.Cheng Xin didn't go down either, and stood under the podium to accompany him.Chen Xin took a deep breath, blushed and said slowly: "Thank you, sir! I know that many, many classmates are envious of my success and good grades. In fact, I also envy, envy everyone's articulate speech."

The students in the audience laughed kindly, Cheng Xin took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded and encouraged.Chen Xin began to read his manuscript: "It's another, golden wind, cool day..." It took Chen Xin two and a half minutes to finish reading the manuscript with less than 400 words. The clothes on the back are all wet.

The students in the class still responded with warm applause, because the learning methods shared by Chen Xin were summed up by himself, which inspired and helped the students to a certain extent.

After Chen Xin finished reading the manuscript, she quickly ran off the podium and returned to her seat, her heart beating like her own.Cheng Xin also came back, and whispered to him: "I read very well, but I stuttered a few times. I will just give a speech like this tomorrow." Chen Xin read very slowly. Although there were many pauses, the repeated words were only several.

Chen Xin looked at him in disbelief: "Really?"

"Really!" Cheng Xin nodded seriously.

Chen Xin wiped off her sweat and let out a long breath. No matter what, the choice she made would be done on her knees.

The next morning, the opening ceremony was held as scheduled, and all the teachers and students of the school sat on the playground to watch the ceremony.After the school leaders spoke, they began to announce the list of scholarship recipients for the previous semester. Chen Xin was No.1 in the first-year group and No.1 in the city's unified examination, so the total scholarship was 1 yuan. Once the news was announced, the whole school attracted a lot of attention. Exclaimed, this is the first person in their school to receive double scholarships.

Chen Xin was invited to speak as a student representative. He has been nervous all morning. Since he woke up until now, something has been beating in his stomach. At this moment, he feels dizzy.Before taking the stage, Cheng Xin suddenly reached out and took off his glasses, and said, "Okay, go up now, just pretend that the people below don't exist, whatever you say."

It turned out that this was the hole card he said, what a bad idea.But as soon as he took off his glasses, Chen Xin felt that everything was blurred, as if the world was far away from him, and he couldn't notice other people's eyes. He felt much safer. Bowed to the school leader, then walked to the microphone, stood still, in front of a hazy scene, can't see anything clearly, Chen Xin gritted his teeth, let it go, opened his mouth and said: "Just now I, listen Everyone, is envious of me, in fact, there is nothing to envy, I also have shortcomings, stuttering, please don't, don't take offense, and don't urge, urge me, once you urge me, you will be more, more Unable to speak……"

Everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and Chen Xin had no time to distinguish whether everyone's laughter was good or bad. He raised the speech draft in his hand and began to read it.Because of the mentality of going all out, this time his reading was smoother than yesterday's reading in class. Although there were some stutters, it was already his best performance.

"...Thank you for listening, listening to my rambling!" After reading, Chen Xin bowed deeply to the audience, and there was thunderous applause from the audience, including the principal and teachers on the stage. Cheng Xin The drum was the most vigorous, and at that moment, he seemed to see a brand new Chen Xin breaking out of the cocoon, dazzling.
