Chapter 34: Scheming Boy
A bowl of good porridge is the best way to iron the hungry.
Seeing Mi Meng Liu Jue rushing to drink porridge, Yao Yi was even more excited, so much so that when he went out and walked to the Xuanwu Campus of Shangyang English Training School, the smile on his face was still there.
Shangyang English's main business is English tutoring for junior and senior high school students, with large classes of Chinese teachers and small classes of foreign teachers, which is well-known in Shangjing, and the scale is larger than Konka, but Yao Yi has no teaching experience, and he does not understand the English tutoring market like he understands the real estate market, so he ranks Shang Yang second in the job search list.
"Shang Yang, it's really bad to get this name, but it's okay, it's not called Chongyang. ”
After standing at the door and complaining, Yao Yi replaced the smug smile on his face with a faint smile, and walked to the front desk to explain his intentions.
"Hello, I'm here for an interview to apply for the position of teaching assistant at your school. ”
The girl at the front desk looked at Yao Yi twice and muttered, why are you so young?
Yao Yi was not displeased at all, and said sincerely: "Like you, I look young. ”
"Well, go upstairs and turn right, the multimedia classroom on the second floor, you go quickly, the interview will start immediately. After speaking, the girl smiled, and her favorability towards Yao Yi obviously went up a level.
Yao Yi thanked him and walked up to the second floor unhurriedly.
The front door of the multimedia classroom was open, but Yao Yi did not enter directly, but stood outside the door and gently tapped the wall with his index finger.
A middle-aged man standing behind the podium turned his head to look at Yao Yi, and saw Yao Yi smiling and nodding at him, his eyes were even more appreciative.
"Please come in. The middle-aged man gestured to the oval of desks in the multimedia classroom, "Find a place to sit down first, and start soon." ”
Yao Yi looked in the direction pointed by the middle-aged man, and saw that many people were already sitting behind the desks, six of them were young faces, and the remaining two were foreign friends, one was a woman about fifty years old, with a bloated figure and loose skin, but a kind smile and a very friendly attitude, and the other had brown hair and black eyes, deep and three-dimensional facial features, handsome appearance, looked less than thirty, and was a cut taller than the person next to him, at least one meter nine tall, looking at the figure, it should belong to the type of dressing thin and undressed, and walking on the road is definitely a scenery that women can't take their eyes off。
After looking around for a week, Yao Yi found an empty seat and sat down, waiting for the interview to begin.
After a while, the middle-aged man standing behind the podium said loudly: "Okay, it's about the same time, let's start, let me introduce first, I am the principal of the Xuanwu campus, Li Zhihua, these two are the foreign teachers of our campus, May and Sebastien." ”
Hearing the principal read out their names, the two foreign friends smiled in a friendly way at the interviewers, who responded with their body movements and facial expressions.
"Due to the very good enrollment situation this year, the branch campus needs to recruit two more teaching assistants, this English education, very test the ability of teachers and students to interact and communicate, so we will not interview one by one, everyone sits together, form an interview English corner, after the end I will make a choice according to everyone's performance. Okay, let's get started, talk your mind. Li Zhihua clapped his hands and added a sentence of non-standard English, "Say.whatever.you.want." ”
Interview for the English Corner? That's pretty new.
Indeed, interaction and communication are indispensable for teaching a language, and conducting a group interview in the form of an English corner not only allows you to see the interviewee's more realistic performance, but also saves a lot of time.
This is a good method, but it tests the interviewer's observation ability, since he can come up with this method, and has the confidence to find the most suitable candidate through observation, it means that this Principal Li will not be as stupid and short-sighted as Manager Liu of the Chang'an Road Sales Department.
Yao Yi made up her mind, thinking that it would be good to add a period of experience in educating children to her life, and the pressure to be a teacher is much higher than that of sales, Mr. Ma also worked as an English teacher back then!
“I…… Hmm, ahem. The British boy wearing an armor-piercing shirt on the right side of Yao Yi was the first to break the silence, "I.want.to.make.a.brief.introduction.for.myself."
“about。 The handsome and handsome male foreign teacher opened his mouth and said a word.
"Ahh
“about,sorry,yeah,I.want.to.make.a.brief.introduction.about.myself.My.name.is.Thomas,I.graduated.from.the.ShangJing.University,and.my.major.was.foreign.language. (My name is Thomas, and I graduated from Sangkyung University with a major in foreign languages)"
"I.used.to.be.a.tutor,so.I.have.plentiful.English.teaching.experience.Thus.I.believe.that.I'm.a.good.fit.for.the.job"
The British style boy quickly overcame his nervousness, and his fluent English made Principal Li's eyes shine and made the other competitors bow their heads. Of course, Yao Yi is not included.
Yao Yi's English skills were quite solid in high school, and then they improved step by step, although English later fell to the throne of the world's first common language and was replaced by Chinese and Spanish, but Yao Yi has never let go of this language, because it is the foreign language he has studied and used for the longest time.
English is Yao Yi's second native language, and he can naturally hear Thomas's pronunciation and grammar mistakes.
Shangjing University is a 985 university, and its status in the province is second only to Southern Associated University.
If this Thomas really graduated from the English major of Shang University, it means that the invigilation of Shang University is not strict, because too many students who fail the course cannot get a degree certificate and graduation certificate.
Perhaps in order to liven up the atmosphere, the two foreign teachers did not correct Thomas's mistakes, but took the initiative to open up the conversation and encourage others to introduce themselves.
After the foreign teacher finished speaking, Thomas took the initiative to translate: "Teacher May and Teacher Sebastien said that please speak actively, the fastest way to learn and teach a language is to use the language as much as possible, so don't worry about non-standard pronunciation, grammatical mistakes and other problems, just speak boldly." ”
However, the two foreign teachers did not say these words, Yao Yi looked at the smiling and sunny man on the right side with a smile, thinking that this Thomas is really a scheming boy, on the one hand, pretending to be a translator, showing that he is willing to communicate and be good at interaction in front of the principal, and on the other hand, he urges competitors to speak as soon as possible to reduce the time for others to organize language.
Interview English Corner, the focus is on the interview, not the English Corner.
The purpose of participating in the English Corner is to improve your spoken English listening, and you are naturally not afraid of making mistakes, but now you are in an interview, and the more mistakes you make, the lower your impression score, and the lower the probability of success in your job search.
Encountering such an interesting competitor, Yao Yi suddenly became playful, originally he planned to speak last and beat the crowd - because the protagonist is always the last to appear - but now he changed his mind.
After admiring the scheming boy's triumphant and superior expression for a second, Yao Yi spoke.
“Actually,your.translation.is.not.quite.accurate. (Actually, your translation is not very accurate)"
(PS: English can not type spaces, will be connected in a row, each word is separated by . is too troublesome, but also to write Chinese translation has a suspicion of water word count, so if there is no need to write English in the future.) )
