Chapter 048: New Era Lecture
Starting from four o'clock in the afternoon, the basketball court of Binhai City Gymnasium, which has hosted basketball events in the National Games many times, has been entering one after another.
Before seven o'clock, the audience seat that can accommodate 4,200 people obviously can't sit down, and people have begun to stand in the backstage passages and corridors.
Although they are all teachers who have been on stage, they also expected in advance that they might explode today, but in the background, they can hear the voices of people outside through the thick cement wall, and they can still see the obvious nervousness when they think of facing such a big scene next.
And the excitement.
When the time came to eight o'clock in the evening, the lights of the whole audience suddenly dimmed, and the lecture officially began.
The information session is not simply a free English lesson, in addition to introducing the school, there are three main topics.
Gu Wenming talks about "Introduction to the Process of Going Abroad"
Phil introduces Western lifestyle, social culture.
Liang Yifei came to talk about "How to Learn English Well", the final finale of the scene.
Gu Wenming appeared first.
Even in the Internet age, information is easy to obtain, and it is very troublesome to check every link of going abroad on the Internet, what procedures to go through, what conditions and materials, what qualifications need to be possessed, etc.
Gu Wenming has the actual experience of sending people abroad, and he has specially supplemented this information, and has made up the whole process clearly, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.
The lectures are skillful, and they follow the script, that is, it is not the style of Gu Wenming, let alone the style of the new era.
In order to maximize the effect of this short half hour, Gu Wenming compiled his own experience into a story, starting from when his wife began to want to go abroad, and all the way to the various economic problems he encountered after sending his wife abroad, interspersed with the entire process of going abroad, precautions, etc., which was vividly and interestingly and vividly.
Lao Gu sometimes laughed at himself on stage, sometimes sarcastically said a few words to foreigners, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter or applause from the audience.
Liang Yifei sat in the middle of the back of the stage, looking at Gu Wenming's back, but he didn't want to laugh at all.
How could an intellectual, a man, be willing to talk about these things in front of thousands of people and the saddest side of his heart?
Unless, he already has a more worthy goal!
Liang Yifei felt that in today's lecture, Gu Wenming finally took a key step in transforming from a teacher to a businessman!
In his heart, he silently toasted Lao Gu!
After Gu Wenming finished speaking, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and the applause of the audience was like thunder, and it rang for more than three minutes before it gradually subsided.
Then it was Phil's turn to take the stage.
In short, in the current society, under the background of the tide of going abroad, there are indeed many people who have a kind of concept of 'foreign moons are relatively round, foreign monks can chant scriptures', and foreigners seem to have a positive halo blessing.
Phil is really handsome, and has rich stage experience, blonde hair and blue-eyed suits and leather shoes, and he is full of color as soon as he appears!
narrated, Q&A, compared, and selected a few female comrades to come on stage to cooperate with the performance, the scene was simulated, and the whole stage rhythm was taken by him to fly, and the atmosphere of the scene entered a climax, which was very enthusiastic.
Liang Yifei felt that he was a drama spirit and was born to belong to the stage!
Phil is a foreigner, there is no need to deliberately show off his English skills, and Liang Yifei, who finally came to power, is Chinese, but has to open in a large paragraph of English.
After taking the stage, he nodded slightly, and a modern poem with a standard English pronunciation sounded from the loudspeakers around the basketball hall.
“
I don't think about whether I can succeed or not
Since he chose a distant place, he only cares about the wind and rain.
I don't think about whether I can win love
Since you love roses, you are brave enough to confide in your sincerity.
I don't think about whether there will be cold wind and rain behind me
Since the goal is the horizon,
All that is left to the world is the back.
”
The most popular poet at present, Wang Guozhen's "Love of Life".
After a very brief silence, applause erupted from the auditorium on all sides, almost toppling the roof!
Many of the young friends even stood up from their seats, their faces flushed with excitement.
If you are not a person of this era, it is hard to imagine that poetry has such a great influence on contemporary young people!
Under the drastic changes, young people are not only confused about the future, but also full of hope and passion, so the 80s and 90s are the peak period of modern poetry, and a group of modern poets such as Bei Dao, Wang Guozhen, and Shu Ting have emerged, and the degree of popularity is only higher than that of the first-line stars of later generations.
The applause lasted for more than a minute before it subsided.
Then Liang Yifei asked a question in Chinese.
"Learning English is nothing more than listening, speaking, reading and writing, but I don't want to talk about these things today, we have professional English teachers who will slowly share them with you in the future. Today, I would like to ask you what are the difficulties in learning English? I would like to share with you some of my experience in learning English on my own. ”
The question was thrown, and a large arm sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
There were thousands of people present, and no matter how well prepared Liang Yifei was, he might encounter questions that he couldn't answer, or that made him embarrassed.
So, naturally, be prepared in advance.
"Hello, I have no problem with grammar and vocabulary, I'm not afraid of exams, but I'm afraid of oral conversations. My spoken language is not standard, and every time I have a spoken conversation, I always feel very uncomfortable. Do you have any good ideas for practicing speaking?" asked a girl who took the microphone.
Nursery No. 1 comes in.
"There are no shortcuts to speaking, you have to speak, you have to talk! You talk to yourself alone at home, and no matter how skilled you are, it's useless. Liang Yifei returned with a smile: "This classmate, you seem to have made a mistake, your spoken language is not good, what is uncomfortable is the person who listens, it is the other party, what are you uncomfortable?"
The audience burst into laughter, and the girl blushed and said, "But I'll be embarrassed to ......."
Liang Yifei nodded and said, "So you want to go to cram school, you spent money, our teacher was hired by you, we are here for you, no matter how bad your spoken language is, you can pour it on our teacher without reservation, this is called equivalent exchange!
"I can't remember words all the time, especially the words that are not commonly used and complicated, do you have any good ideas?" said a big boy in a high school uniform.
Nursery No. 2 comes in.
"Memorizing words and memorizing words, mainly a memorization of words, if you want to not endure hardship, purely rely on cleverness, it is impossible, but there are skills. For example, you can use Chinese pronunciation to help with memorization. ”
"For example?" asked the older boy.
"For example......" Liang Yifei pretended to muttered for two seconds, "For example, ambulance, Ambulance......"
I read the words and pronunciation word by word, and then said: "What is it to memorize in Chinese? That is, 'I can't die', so call an ambulance!"
The audience reacted for a second or two, and the audience burst into laughter!
Liang Yifei was also laughing, thinking that people would copy books and songs, and I would copy movie clips, which would be the same.
"Teacher Liang, I just want to ask, do you have any skills in the exam?" No. 3 struggled to 'grab' the microphone from the crowd.
"Of course. Our teachers, who have studied the exam questions over the years, especially the multiple-choice questions, are very skillful, according to our summary, even if you don't know English, you can get more than half of the points on the multiple-choice questions!"
This is the real pure dry goods, the audience first 'buzzed', and then quieted down, silent, thousands of pairs of eyes, staring at Liang Yifei.
"It stands to reason that this is a charge. ”
Liang Yifei shrugged his shoulders very Europeanly, "But it's nothing, I'll give you a formula: 'Three long and one short choose the shortest, three short and one long choose the longest, choose B if the length is different, choose D if you can't afford it, the same length is A, and the same short is C......"
Although the questions are all childcare, the content of the questions is indeed what the current English learners are most concerned about, Liang Yifei said here, there are really many people, take a pen and paper out on the spot to remember.
