As the world's first common language, English has been spreading and using around the world, and various dialect-like branches have been derived, among which the most widely spread are American English, British English and Australian English.

If we take universality as the starting point, KK phonetic American pronunciation is the best choice for domestic English teachers, firstly, because most of the listening parts of domestic English exams use American pronunciation, and secondly, because American pronunciation is relatively clear and easy to understand.

If you start with B, British pronunciation is obviously a better choice.

For example, a survey conducted by a British survey website eHarmony.co.uk in different countries and regions showed that more than 22 percent of English speakers had gone on a date simply because of the standard English pronunciation of their users, and another 7 percent had or were trying to practice their British pronunciation because they believed that the standard English pronunciation would make them more attractive.

It's no secret that French and Italian are known for their romance, but in the minds of English speakers – including those in France – the standard English pronunciation is the language that truly expresses love, followed by Edinburgh accent, Australian pronunciation, Southern Irish accent, Yorkshire accent......

It can be seen that the standard English pronunciation is the best weapon for the English horn b girl, and there is no one.

Due to the objective reasons of education import (mainly due to the origin of foreign teachers), most people in China regard Estuary English (Estuary.English), that is, London pronunciation, as the standard English pronunciation, but in fact, Estuary English is often used by people of relatively low social class in the United Kingdom, and gentlemen and ladies belonging to the upper class all choose the noble and elegant Oxford accent queen sound.

Of course, times are changing, and so is the Queen's English, with ****** minor changes in vowel pronunciation in Christmas speeches beginning in 1977 and even more in the decade since, and by 2005, the Queen's clear, aristocratic pronunciation had disappeared in favour of the popular London accent.

In this regard, Jonathan Harrington, a linguist at the University of Munich, believes that the queen did not follow the example of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and deliberately adjusted her pronunciation to cater to ordinary people, but was influenced by social forces, inadvertently following the trend and gradually changing her pronunciation.

Whatever the reason, the standard English that belongs to the royal family and aristocracy is gradually disappearing.

Fortunately, there are fanatical lovers of English all over the world, so the standard English pronunciation has not been broken, and Yao Yi is one of the successors—the English tutor his father painstakingly hired for him, who was once the etiquette tutor of the British hereditary aristocracy.

As the so-called layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, and other interviewers can only listen to the excitement, and they don't feel the charm of the noble queen's voice at all, but feel that Yao Yi's pronunciation is very strange and "non-standard".

The scheming Boy Thomas sitting on Yao Yi's right hand was only surprised by Yao Yi's fluency in English, and did not realize that his non-standard American pronunciation was like a muddy country boy crashing into the luxurious carriage of a nobleman in the last century and being crushed miserably.

Of the people present, only two native.speakers (native speakers) heard the mystery.

May, who was sitting next to Li Zhihua, leaned her head against Li Zhihua's ear and whispered a few words, Li Zhihua's eyebrows trembled, and when he looked at Yao Yi again, his eyes changed completely.

Sebastien, the male foreign teacher, expressed himself more directly, he whistled on the spot, winked at Yao Yi, and smiled: "Your.accent.is.amazingly.charming, wow, classic."

Seeing a handsome guy discharging at him, Yao Yi got goosebumps, and then he remembered that Britain is also known as a corrupt country, and speaking an authentic and standard English pronunciation is not only very lethal to girls, but also very popular in same-sex dating clubs.

“Cheers.” Yao Yi thanked Sebastien, corrected the translation of the scheming boy, and then said in standard English, "Since our topic is interviews, I would like to talk more about my thoughts on this job." Although I have no teaching experience, I have a lot of experience in marketing, and in my opinion, selling products has something in common with teaching and solving problems. ”

Hearing this, Sebastien clasped his hands to his chest with great interest, while May frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Yao Yi's statement.

Yao Yi keenly caught May's change in expression and sensed the hostility in May's eyes, but he wasn't worried.

Blindly pandering will not leave the best and deepest first impression on others, on the contrary, it is better to first throw out an opinion that is not agreed with, and then persuade the other party with reason.

The dignified Yao Group is at the helm, a bush of weeds on the side of the road can blow flowers, and I'm afraid that I can't convince a foreign aunt?

After pondering for a while, Yao Yi spoke again.

"Teaching is a sacred and great profession, and perhaps it seems to many that it is disrespectful to teachers to compare a salesperson with a teacher. But I think in a sense, a good teacher is also a good salesperson, because he or she is going to sell the school to the parents, he or she is going to sell the curriculum to the students. ”

"In the case of real estate sales and insurance sales, for example, many customers who buy a house do not understand the real estate market and insurance, and do not know the necessity of investing in real estate and insurance, nor do they know the convenience and benefits that policy changes may bring to them, and the role of sales is to let them acquire this knowledge in a way that customers can understand, and choose the right product for them. ”

"It's the same with teachers, who need to get the knowledge they need in a way that students can understand. We all know that not all students love to learn, some students are disgusted with the boring learning process, teachers need to consider adding fun to the lessons, some students are not suitable for rote cramming, teachers need to consider changing the way they teach, some students simply cannot overcome psychological barriers, teachers need to find another way to build confidence for them. ”

"In short, sales face different customers, will adopt different sales strategies, teachers face different students, but also take different teaching ideas, a sales who can only speak clichés may starve themselves, it is almost impossible to harm customers, but a teacher who can only read according to the book, but it is likely to mislead people's children and delay students!"

"Therefore, I believe that teachers should have the mentality of a salesperson, so that they can really do their job well and teach every student as well as possible. ”

After throwing out the arguments, arguments, and arguments in one go, Yao Yi bowed slightly and sat down calmly.

The audible silence of the falling pin lasted for about twenty seconds, then was broken by May's applause.

I don't know if I remembered some stories from my years of teaching experience, but May had tears in her eyes when she applauded Yao Yi.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhihua and Sebastien also began to applaud, although the others did not know why, but when they saw that the three interviewers were applauding, they were not far behind.

For a while, there was a wave of applause in the multimedia classroom.
