听完她的话，hird教授略略沉吟了一下，然后缓缓地开了口：“你可以来上我的课。不过”
林欣紧张地盯着教授的脸，等着下文。
hird教授挤了挤右眼：“你不能告诉别的学生你只是旁听，没有付过钱。”林欣连忙点头。
hird教授摆了摆手，又说道：“所以你要向其他学生一样，完成所有的projects 和presentations。你做得到吗？”他笑咪咪地看着林欣,明显地只等着一个肯定的答复。
“做得到，当然做得到！”林欣使劲地点着头，再也找不出别的话来说。
hird教授笑吟吟地拿起放在一边的课本，立起身，说了句：“那么我们下次课见！”，就慢慢地向教学楼走去了。
演讲课让林欣更忙碌了。每次做presentation之前，她都要忙到很晚。班上那些帰国子女都是拿着个写着简略提纲的卡片就口若悬河地说上十分钟。比起他们，只在中学学过英文的林欣程度实在太差。她必须把事前反复修改过的稿子一个字一个字地背下来。
“真佩服你的记忆力！”几个学生给林欣的反馈意见上这样写到。他们哪里知道，如果在presentation过程中有任何分散了注意力的打岔，哪怕只是瞟一眼卡片，林欣都会忘掉所有的词。
“哎，我们班同学的英语实在太好了！”
晚间林欣和安妮一边喝着茶，一边把课上的情形告诉她。
安妮听了不以为然地耸耸肩说：“好不好，得native speaker 说了才算呢！”
林欣想，以自己的英文程度去判断别人的水平，的确有些可笑。
“林桑，你做presentation 之前可以先跟我练习一下。”热心的安妮动和林欣说。
“那当然好了！可是我能为你做点什么呢？”林欣不想只是一味的从安妮那里得到帮助。
“你可以教我说中文嘛！你不是中文老师吗？”安妮很随意地说。
林欣连忙答应了。
