三篇短文和一个老外的评语（二）

第二篇： Not very easy to get

　　The father ordered me to take out my certificates. Having examined every line, he insisted that I take a test so that he could judge by himself.

　　"OK." He finally raised his eagle eyes. "Your accuracy is 90 per cent." "Is that enough？" I asked.

　　"It's enough. But don't you think your reading speed is low and ……"

　　"And Sir," I couldn't help interrupting him. "It's also enough for me to not have to bear this here."

　　I stood up and went away, leaving him astonished.
