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.
