Chapter 126 Beard

After confirming the signature book sales meeting, Zhang Tan was a little nervous, afraid that no one would support him by then. He was worried that the weather was too cold and readers might be too lazy to go out, and they were worried that everyone would go to play on holidays, and they were also worried that the preparations were in a hurry and in a hurry. They were not informed in place, etc.

This directly affects his writing speed.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been written to the last 200,000 words, and it is published at a rate of one copy a month, so don't worry too much. The short stories he published under the pseudonym of Jin Su on "Marriage Story" have received a good response. The editorial department of "Marriage Story" has already made an appointment with him, and Zhang Tan plans to modify a few short stories and send them there.

But my mood was not settled, which led to a few days of sorting out, but I didn’t compile a satisfactory short story.

Writing requires state.

Without any condition, Zhang Tan simply stopped burying his head and doing the wrong thing with his laptop, strolling on the campus road and relaxing.

From time to time, students who know each other come to say hello to Zhang Tan.

He is still very popular at Shuangdun Middle School.

Before I knew it, I walked to the rockery of the school. There were many camphor trees and Qilixiang on the rockery, all of which were evergreen trees. It was just that it had not rained for a while and the leaves were covered with dust. It was now evening, and there was still half an hour before evening self-study, and there were no one.

If it is at night, there will be sneaky men and women students coming to hold hands... The teachers often take flashlights at night and look here to see if there are any students who are not good at learning.

Zhang Tan was relaxing and was about to find a place to sit, but he saw a girl sitting there in a corner with an English book on her legs.

"Lu Jing?"

Zhang Tan looked at it and greeted him.

The girl turned her head and it was Lu Jing, wearing a blue down jacket, which looked whiter in the blue, which highlighted her fair skin. Maybe she was too serious about reading, and she didn't notice Zhang Tan's arrival before. She was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she said embarrassedly: "Detective, why are you here too?"

"I'm bored, just take a walk, are you reading a book?"

"Well, I'm reading an English book."

Zhang Tan walked over and gave a thumbs up: "A good boy who is hardworking and hardworking."

Lu Jing lowered her head and whispered: "I have a bad English..."

Lu Jing's grades are not good, and Zhang Tan knows very well that although she studies hard, she just doesn't have that talent. Her brother Lu Yong is smart but unwilling to study, so the two siblings should be changed.

Zhang Tan smiled slightly: "You didn't learn English like this. When I came over, I didn't hear you reading English. This is not good. Do you know? The most important thing in learning a language is to 'speak'. You must pronounce words and sentences loudly. Do you know Li Yang's crazy English? You must speak it loudly like a madman. You can try it."

After watching too many American dramas, Zhang Tan's English proficiency is still very good, so he also has his own experience in learning English. One is to listen more and the other is to speak more, making English an instinct, just like speaking Chinese, you can blurt out without thinking.

Lu Jing lowered her head and refused to speak, obviously she was embarrassed to speak English.

Zhang Tan then started and said, "Really, you can't be shy, you just have to say it out. For example, if I say How-are-you, how should you answer?"

Lu Jing glanced at Zhang Tan and still didn't have the nerve to speak.

Zhang Tan continued, "At this time you should answer I'm-fine, Thank-you, and-you? Then I continued, Fine, OK. It's very simple. Starting from the simplest dialogue, you can cooperate with your roommates, or you can talk to yourself by yourself. This dialogue will develop a habit and practice it every day, and your English will definitely improve."

"I... can't say it." Lu Jing said distressedly.

"It's normal. I couldn't speak English before. Before I opened my mouth, I was timid. But you can't be timid. You have to overcome this obstacle and release yourself. There is nothing to be shy about. Don't think speaking English is embarrassing. Although it's patriotic to not speak English, you still have to learn English well for the sake of the college entrance examination. After all, the ratio of 150 is 1000."

It's easier said than done.

The English teacher asks students to read it all day long, but except for the whole class reading aloud, few students speak English loudly in private.

This is true for Lu Jing, and Zhang Tan in his previous life, as well, for fear that after speaking, his English would be inaccurate and would be laughed at.

This mentality is very bad.

As an experienced person, Zhang Tan thought for a while and said, "I will teach you to sing an English song. As long as you open your mouth, it will be very natural afterwards. I remember you like singing, right?"

"I didn't sing well either." Lu Jing's face was a little red.

"I can't sing well, but I just like to sing. Come on, I'll teach you. This song is called "Hey-Jude", a classic song of the Beatles. I sing it once and you sing it again. It's very simple, come-on!" Zhang Tan used his inspiration skills to Lu Jing and felt the other party's morale rise.

So he cleared his throat and hummed.

“Hey-Jude, don’t-make-it-bad.”

“Take-a-sad-song-and-make-it-better.”

“Remember-to-let-her-into-your-heart.”

“Then-you-can-start-to-make-it-better.”

Zhang Tan's voice is very clean and he sang confidently. His singing is full of infectiousness, which can quickly eliminate Lu Jing's fear of speaking English.

The teaching singing was indeed effective. Lu Jing hummed in a low voice at first, and gradually started singing. Although the voice was not very good, it was very soft and soft as a girl, which still sounded nice.

Once he let go, Lu Jing easily overcomes the difficulty of speaking English.

Zhang Tan picked up the English book and asked her a few casual conversations, while Lu Jing even made a stumble conversation.

The unexpected teaching was not over until the bell rang in class.

Get up and leave the rockery and walk towards the classroom.

Lu Jing pulled apart the folds of the down jacket, and a happy smile appeared on her face: "Zhang Tan, Thank-you."

Zhang Tan handed the book back to Lu Jing, put it in one hand and waved it with one hand, with a handsome posture: "No-problem(It's okay)."

At the entrance of the stairs and corners, each enters each shift.

This is just a small episode in campus life. It is important to know that helping others is Zhang Tan’s excellent quality.

Of course, he also had a note in his heart: "Only for beautiful girls."

...

When he returned to the classroom for self-study, Zhang Tan suddenly felt that his concerns about the book signing meeting disappeared.

Perhaps it was because he taught Lu Jing to speak English boldly.

The stones of another mountain can be used to polish jade. In fact, if you think about it, what's there to worry about is just a book signing party. So what if there is no one to support you? Whether the book sells well or not has nothing to do with the book signing party. In any case, he has become the best author in the mainland martial arts novel circle.

I made a lot of money and had a great reputation.

“Let’s relax.”

I feel good, time passes quickly, and the three-day New Year's Day holiday will be in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Zhang Tan changed into a brand new brown cashmere short windbreaker, a jacket lined with a pair of blue jeans, and big-headed leather shoes on his feet. He looked left and right in front of the mirror.

"The hair is long, and the scalp is no longer visible, and the size is sharp. But this is also good. I am now growing tall and I don't need to use fake light to show off. Just this beard, I always feel that it's a bit lowered. Will I scratch it?"

After a while of confusion, Zhang Tan decided to buy a shaver.
