Chapter 45: The Entry Point

It was rare that Liu Jue and Bai Fan were there, Mi Meng said that she would not go downstairs to set up a stall, she had to drag the two of them to watch a movie together, and she also sent an invitation to Yao Yi.

However, Yao Yi did not join them for the movie night because he had something more important to do. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Yao Yi returned to his bedroom, searched out the summary table of junior high school English words on his mobile phone, and began to prepare for class.

Teaching and educating people is not only a job, but also a mission. Even if there are only two students, even if there is no class fee, Yao Yi will do his best to bring more interesting and informative courses to students.

This perseverance is a necessary element for success, but unfortunately most people don't understand it.

In this era of quick success, most people are too shrewd to be smart. Before doing something, people always think about whether their efforts can quickly bring returns that meet their expectations, and then worry about whether their results may be stolen or plagiarized by others, but rarely consider whether this thing can give them more opportunities and more help in the future.

According to this mode of thinking, when a cram teacher in a training institution discovers that the word deduction method can allow students to solve the problem of word memory, the first question he thinks about is often how much benefit a word lesson plan can bring to himself for domestic textbooks, and whether it is worth his own energy, and then he will worry that his hard work may be plagiarized by other training institutions at any time, because there is almost no concept of intellectual property protection in China, so it is likely that he will work hard and finally make a wedding dress for others.

As a result, he is likely to abandon this "silly" idea and continue to promote the false idea that rote memorization is the only way to learn English.

But this is not the case, in fact, as long as you concentrate on a cause, ahead of your peers or even become a pioneer in the industry, then you will have a broader vision and a broader stage, so you will see more opportunities, meet more contacts, and you are more likely to continue to lead than those who follow later.

As long as you maintain the spirit of leadership and innovation, you can always achieve a career, those who are worried that others will plagiarize their ideas, just want to do it once and for all, but in this era when changes happen everywhere all the time, and if you don't innovate and evolve, you will be eliminated, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

Take the word deduction method as an example, in fact, some people in China have long proposed the "shortcut" of using root affixes to memorize words, such as the English education giant New Oriental, but for the time being, there is no training institution to make a set of word teaching materials for domestic junior and senior high school exam-oriented education.

At that time, even if other institutions follow suit and plagiarize, the giants who stand at the top of the industry will definitely extend an olive branch to Yao Yi.

Of course, Yao Yi does not value these interests, and with a wealthy family as an economic backing, he can jump out of the low-level level full of copper smell and pursue a higher realm.

If he can really sort out a wonderful word textbook, Yao Yi will not hide it as a treasure, but will contact the publishing house and the media as soon as possible, and promote the physical textbook and online courses to students in the province and even the whole country simultaneously. Because what the Yao family needs is not money, but a good name.

Taking the word textbooks for junior and senior high school students as the starting point, using unique memorization methods to gain fame, combined with the Internet + innovative ideas that everyone is talking about but few people understand, Yao Yi is confident to take the big cake of the junior and senior high school English tutoring market.

According to Yao Yi's knowledge, nationwide, the dominance of the middle and high school tutoring market has not been determined until ten years later, and each region has its own well-known training schools.

However, this established trajectory may not be unchangeable, even if it cannot be the overlord of the tutoring industry chain for primary and secondary school students, at least it can allow the online education and education apps with novel concepts to be launched in advance to solve the difficulties of families who are worried about extracurricular tutoring in various places.

If one day, my parents, sisters, and a group of friends find out that they have become famous teachers sought after and loved by tens of millions of middle school students across the country, I don't know what kind of reaction they will have? Yao Yi appeared in the air, and his mind made up for the title of "National Treasure-level Famous Teacher" on his business card in the future, and his heart was bubbling with beauty.

However, the ideal is very full, the reality is very backbone, Yao Yi soon found that writing a word textbook is not an easy task.

First of all, the total number of vocabulary and derivative words in the syllabus of the high school entrance examination is close to 3,000, and a considerable number of words are not suitable for deductive memorization, such as basic nouns (such as tea, book, door), some supersynonyms (such as fruit, organ, color) and words with rare roots as the main body (such as astronaut).

These words can only be memorized in the form of making up stories, and even if Yao Yi can handle this daunting project, there is no guarantee that students can accept it.

Secondly, systematically sorting out prefixes, roots and suffixes is equivalent to allowing students to change from memorizing words to memorizing the components of words first and then memorizing words.

For students like Song Ci, who have strong thinking skills and flexible brains, the deductive method is a good way to help with memorization, but if Yao Yi only focuses on such students, how is it different from a teacher who gives up on "poor students"?

However, the textbook that applies to everyone is itself a false proposition, and Yao Yi cannot be perfect, so he can only strive to make more students learn the deductive method, and to do this, it is necessary to reduce the difficulty of understanding the deductive method, so that it is easier for students to find the connection between words.

How?

After pondering for half an hour, Yao Yi decided to start with the reformatting of the word list.

There are two kinds of word typography in the Renjiao version of the junior high school English textbook, one is to sort according to the new words contained in the course of each unit, and the other is to sort according to the first letter set, both of which have nothing to do with the root word and the suffix, so Yao Yi has to reformat the more than 2,000 words first.

Words with the same root, words with the same prefix or suffix, words with the same evolutionary law should also be put together, according to this typesetting, the same word may appear repeatedly, and the workload is enormous.

Knowing that he couldn't finish the vocabulary list after staying up all night, Yao Yi simply went to bed to rest, planning to get a good night's sleep to replenish his spirits, and rush to the school early tomorrow morning to audit other teachers' classes, deepen his understanding of the teaching materials and the students' learning ability, and then continue to sort out the words.
