“Right, ‘turn back’ is to turn backward.” This time, there was no need for Qiao Nan to explain. All of them understood right away and acted according to her commands. It was as if they were going through military training. They were humble and respectful toward her.
Qiao Nan only made them turn backward four times, two rounds in total.
“Now that all of you are already familiar with turning left, turning right, and turning backward, next, I won’t use Chinese. I will only say it in English. We will go according to what we practiced just now. Let’s see who will end up in the wrong direction, going face to face with each other, making the mistakes that not even new recruits will make.”
They had to keep up with Qiao Nan’s fast pace. As soon as they learned the phrases, they had to put them into practice right away.
Qiao Nan used the same teaching method that Zhai Sheng used on her and she taught them whatever that she learned from him.
Although they had practiced for a few times, when the three phrases were used together, some of them were still confused and ended up in an embarra.s.sing situation, coming face to face with each other. But because of the mistakes that they made, it left a deeper impression on them. In no time, n.o.body made any more mistakes.
In the beginning, they only practiced turning in three directions. Qiao Nan then changed her commands all of a sudden. “Turn back, start, 121, 121…”
The soldiers could not understand what ‘start’ meant, but when they heard ‘121’, their bodies reacted automatically to it and they started marching forward.
“Halt!”
“12.” The soldiers were not too sure of the meaning, but they made guesses and came to a stop.
“Turn back.”
“12.”
“The person in the first row, come forward.”
“Yes!” The soldier stepped out in a firm and powerful stride. As soon as he went forward, the rest of the group rearranged to form an orderly group.
“Next, you will lead the rest to do the revision, in English. Do you remember them?”
“Remember!”
“Start.”
“Wait, reporting to teacher!”
“Go ahead.”
“How do we say ‘121’ in English?” The soldier wanted to strive for excellence. he did not wish to mix English with Chinese.
“One, two, one.”
“Oh, w.a.n.g 1, Tu 1, w.a.n.g 1. Easy! Thank you, teacher!”
At first, the practice was full of mistakes, but after everyone had a few rounds of practice, the atmosphere got better and all of the soldiers cooperated well with each other.
“How’s my little disciple doing?” Lin Yuankang, who stood out of Qiao Nan’s sight, looked as proud as a rooster. He held his head high. There was an air of pride and arrogance about him.
“Elder Lin has taught well.” It took a while before Zhai Yaohui made this comment.
Qi Minlan was educated and cultured. She was young, pretty, and open-minded. Why did she fail in teaching her daughter?
