Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

The brothers and sisters returned to the door of the house, and before they had time to open the door, they heard a burst of pleasant and carefree chatting in the room.

The voice was very messy, besides the parents, there were probably three or four other people at least.

Without thinking too much, Xu Yiyang took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Xu Yiyang saw Zhang Aixue, his homeroom teacher, and two other men who looked familiar, sitting on his small sofa, chatting passionately with his parents.

Father Xu was passing cigarettes to the three of them, and when he turned his head and saw Xu Yiyang enter the door, he waved and said, "Oh, Yangyang, come quickly, come quickly, you Principal Lin, Director Xue and Teacher Zhang are all here to see you!"

Before Xu Yiyang came to his senses, Zhang Aixue, the head teacher, stood up with a smile on his face, and said with great satisfaction: "Student Xu Yiyang, you have really honored our No. 1 Middle School today!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that your English test scores are usually not obvious, but you can talk and laugh with foreign guests at critical moments. Come on, tell me, how did you practice your spoken English?" of?"

In fact, Zhang Aixue still has a question that I am not ashamed to ask. Why did you go for a walk by the Yellow River instead of taking the exam?

Thinking about following the school leader to reward Xu Yiyang this time, it was really impossible to ask such an untimely question.

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly, and said truthfully: "Spoken English is practiced by following foreign movies and TV. If you are confused, you can practice it. Maybe it's because I have some talent in language learning."

Zhang Aixue didn't doubt much, and nodded seriously: "Spoken English really depends on talent, but I can't do it. Language talent is a negative number. You see, I can't even speak Mandarin well."

For most people, it is not difficult to learn English for exams, but it is difficult to learn spoken English well.

The example given by Zhang Aixue is very representative. Many people who have the ability to be admitted to key universities may not be able to speak standard Mandarin well.

In particular, Qilu dialect has a heavy accent, and it is really difficult to get rid of the accent habit. It is difficult to speak Mandarin well, let alone English.

At this time, the two older men beside Zhang Aixue also stood up.

One of the middle-aged people with a slightly fat body said with a smile: "Student Xu Yiyang, Director Cai from the Education Bureau called today and praised you severely, and also specifically explained that the school must reward you well." !"

Xu Yiyang recognized this middle-aged man, he should be his high school principal, surnamed Lin, named Lin Zhenlu.

After recognizing him, Xu Yiyang also recognized the tall middle-aged man next to him by the way.

He should be the director of the Academic Affairs Office, Xue Guangshan.

Xu Yiyang walked up to the three of them, bowed modestly, and said, "Thank you, Principal Lin, thank you, Director Xue, and thank you, Teacher Zhang. In fact, it's mainly because of the good education in the school. We should thank the school for its cultivation."

Lin Zhenlu smiled wryly and said, "Other things can be said to be cultivated by the school, but I really don't believe in spoken English!"

Thinking about what happened this morning, Lin Zhenlu still feels very depressed.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Secretary Hu of the Education Bureau. He heard that the director had called for him to send an English teacher with sufficient ability to help the Education Bureau receive foreign guests.

He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly contacted the English team leader of the third grade in Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School.

But when the other party heard that he was going to be an interpreter for foreign guests, he immediately froze.

He said that he had never had a conversation with a foreigner. All these years, he taught the things in the syllabus, and oral dialogue has been completely abandoned.

Lin Zhenlu asked the other English teachers again, and they all said that they didn't have the ability, and they didn't dare to go and make a fool of themselves in front of the Director of Education.

The considerations of the English teachers are also very realistic. Everyone’s oral English has been neglected for many years.

It's like a soldier who has never fired a real gun on the day he entered the army, and suddenly sent to the battlefield, he may even forget how to shoot.

Therefore, if you take the liberty to do translation for foreign guests, your own level is not enough, coupled with nervousness and lack of self-confidence, it is easy to make a mess.

Also, this is no ordinary occasion.

On ordinary occasions, it doesn't matter if you go there.

But this time, I will act as an interpreter for foreign guests in front of the Director of Education, and there will be reporters from the TV station to follow the filming. If the translation is not good, the leaders will notice it. Once the TV station broadcasts it, the people in the city will see it Here, I am afraid that my future is also finished.

At that time, Lin Zhenlu was in a hurry to set the ants on fire, and the secretary of the bureau chief kept calling to remind him, but no one dared to answer the English teachers in the school here.

Everyone didn't dare to respond. Although he was very angry, he didn't dare to force the party, otherwise, if the strong party messed up in the past, he would also be unlucky.

Fortunately! At the critical moment, Xu Yiyang, who was supposed to be sitting in the examination room, appeared beside the Yellow River for some reason, and saved the fire.

Otherwise, if you really want to force No. 1 Middle School to have a teacher, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing today.

Lin Zhenlu rejoiced in his heart, and even forgot to think about why Xu Yiyang didn't take the exam.

He didn't bother to think about it, so what the hell? As long as the result is good, it is already a blessing.

So, he took out a stack of cash from his purse, handed it to Xu Yiyang, and said seriously: "Student Xu Yiyang, the five thousand dollars is a reward from the school. I hope you will continue to work hard and win glory for the school."

Xu Yiyang's eyes lit up as he looked at the stack of cash.

"Thank you, Principal Lin!"

Xu Yiyang hurriedly thanked him, and took the stack of money from Lin Zhenlu.

Lin Zhenlu smiled and said, "Director Cai said, you have made a lot of contributions this time, and you deserve it."

As he said that, he looked at Xu's father and Xu's mother, who were somewhat cautious, and said with a smile: "You two have raised a good son!"

Dad Xu said modestly: "Everywhere, it is good that the school cultivates it!"

"Parents' education is more important!" Lin Zhenlu said, looking at the time on his watch, he said, "It's getting late, we won't delay you from cooking and eating, and let Xu Yiyang have a good rest and recharge your batteries , and will continue to entertain foreign guests tomorrow.”

Zhang Aixue also said: "Xu Yiyang, you didn't take the exam this time. I have already applied to the grade director to keep your grade rank from the last exam, so that you won't be assigned to the last exam room next time."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Lin Zhenlu said with a look of relief: "Student Xu Yiyang, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and make persistent efforts."

"I know Principal Lin."

Xu Yiyang nodded, then thought of his current plan to make money, and said, "By the way, Principal Lin, I have something to ask the school for help."

Lin Zhenlu immediately said: "If you have any problems, just say it, the school can solve it for you, and it will definitely help you."

Xu Yiyang said: "Principal, during the winter vacation, I would like to borrow a classroom from the school."

Lin Zhenlu asked curiously, "What are you going to borrow the classroom for?"

Xu Yiyang said vaguely: "I want to try to organize an English interest group during the winter vacation, but don't worry, I will only use it during the vacation and will not delay the normal teaching of the school."

Lin Zhenlu immediately said: "This is a good thing. During the winter vacation, the classrooms are idle and idle. Which one do you want?"

Seeing that Lin Zhenlu agreed so easily, Xu Yiyang immediately slapped the snake on the stick, and said with a calm face: "Principal, if possible, I would like to borrow the electronic classroom in our laboratory building..."

In my memory, Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School in high school had an electric classroom equipped with computers, TVs, projectors, and slide projectors. It was the most technologically-sense classroom in Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School at that time except for the computer room.

At that time, the only electronic classroom was used by the whole school in rotation, and a class could only have two or three lessons in the electronic classroom in a semester, but every time a class was taught in the electronic classroom, everyone felt very novel and excited.

Since I want to do English training during the winter vacation, it is definitely best to have the assistance of audio and video teaching equipment. Not only the teaching effect is good, but also in the eyes of parents, it is more professional and authoritative.

Lin Zhenlu hesitated a little when he heard this request.

The electronic classroom, computer room, and laboratory are indeed the treasures of the school. After all, the teaching funds are limited, and every piece of equipment is very precious. It is somewhat uneasy to lend it to a student.

However, thinking that Xu Yiyang had indeed made contributions to No. 1 Middle School, and that Director Cai himself called to praise him, Lin Zhenlu couldn't be negligent, so he agreed, saying, "Okay, when will you use it? I'll arrange it."

Xu Yiyang said: "Use it the day after tomorrow."

Lin Zhenlu nodded and said, "Okay, later I'll ask someone to say hello to Master Zhang in the laboratory building. He lives in the guard room. You can go directly to him to get the key when the time comes."

Xu Yiyang's goal was achieved, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Principal Lin!"
