After the special opening two classes, the remaining classes of the training class returned to normal for classroom teaching.

But this 'normal' is the 'normal' of the new era.

Compared with the current mainstream English teaching methods, the classroom teaching of the cadre training class is fresh and interesting, and it is different!

In the more than ten years of practice that has resumed the college entrance examination, I have learned the mainstream way of English and memorized by rote.

In particular, primary and secondary schools at the prefectural and township levels have almost no other methods than rote memorization.

It's not that rote memorization is bad, in fact, it's the most efficient way to do it in terms of exam results.

The problem is that it has its drawbacks, the process is boring, it takes a lot of time, and it requires absolute authority from the instructor, etc.

It is obviously inappropriate to give cadres a lesson.

The speaking class in the new era adopts 'situational teaching', each lesson will have a fixed situational theme, and the teacher will teach according to the theme, and then take the students to practice as if they were acting.

When teaching social classes, due to the time and number of people, in order to ensure the teaching effect, it is still more important to memorize and learn, and there is no assessment pressure in the cadre class, so it is natural to pay more attention to the situation.

In each class, it is more like acting in English than learning English, and the designed scenarios are basically based on the daily work of ordinary cadres, so the classroom atmosphere is always very active and down-to-earth.

In addition to basic oral teaching, more time is mainly spent on learning foreign cultures and exchanging Chinese and foreign ideas.

In the 13 years of reform and opening up, exchanges and cooperation with foreign countries have continued to grow in both scope and scale, and the needs of local cadres for 'understanding foreign countries' are far greater than learning a few words and memorizing a few sentences!

For more than two weeks, this part accounted for 60%, and the foreign teachers shared foreign culture and interesting stories with the cadres present in Chinese, and at the same time answered various questions about foreign countries;

From time to time, there is an exchange of ideas, even collisions, and then a group discussion takes place, which broadens the horizons and expands the mind.

Not only were the cadres inspired, but Liang Yifei followed the whole lecture and listened to the whole process, which contained a lot of content, and even he felt that his eyes were bright!

To take the simplest example, one night two cadres were late for class, and after entering the door, they subconsciously said 'sorry' to Mr. Phil, who was a substitute teacher in English.

Sorry is the most commonly used word, and even the cadres present who don't know much English know the phrase 'iamsorry'.

This is how it is taught in any school, and even English experts like Liang Yifei and Gu Wenming don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Phil smiled, and then talked about how to apologize when he was abroad.

For the most part, the word sorry is inappropriate,

Especially in Australia, sorry is a very, very formal word, and it is only said when you have made a serious mistake and begged for forgiveness with an attitude of 'repentance, prayer, and supplication'.

For example, when a sinner repents of God, he will say 'sorry'.

In the event of robbery, you can immediately kneel down and beg for mercy and shout: i'msorry.

If you bring a green hat to the other party, you can also apologize.

But I was late and couldn't say sorry.

When talking to foreigners, they feel sorry at every turn, when they are late, when they answer a phone, when they borrow a phone, or when they sneeze.

Could it be that the Chinese are all heinous sinners?!

When the official is negotiating with a foreigner, he keeps apologizing, how bad does this have to leave a bad impression on the other party?

Especially in daily life, when encountering legal disputes such as car accidents, you can't say sorry first!

That means admitting mistakes and taking full responsibility!

How so?

excuse me, or pardon.

Just this little knowledge point, in one sentence, gave a very vivid lesson to the students present, including Liang Yifei!

A simple apology sparked the topic of 'apology', which allowed the cadres to understand foreign culture, and at the same time, unconsciously, they took the initiative to memorize a number of English words that expressed apologies on various occasions, and they were very impressed.

This is where the charm and competitiveness of the new era lies!

In spare time, a mini-football match was also held.

In the 89 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team made a fantastic start, successively defeated Bangladesh, Thailand and Iran, although the final 1:2 defeat to Qatar, only one step away from Rome, but the Chinese team at this time is not a weak team, and the Chinese fans at this time really think that the World Cup is not far away from us.

At present, Chinese still have passion and dreams for football, and the role that national football can play is not only entertainment and for ordinary people to complain after dinner.

From the first day of the class to see the stadium in the new era, many young cadres began to feel that their feet began to itch, after a few classes, after everyone got acquainted, some people in private began to 'tandem', ready to play a football game.

Simply, New Era took the lead in organizing a 9-a-side football friendly match.

Liang Yifei, Phil, and a few foreign teachers and school teachers formed a 'foreign teacher team'; in addition, among the trainees in this training, Director Qi of the Haidong County Party Committee Office of Binhai City, led a group of cadres and students to form the 'Chinese Student United', and on the afternoon of the second weekend, the class was left early, and the two teams fought on the court for 60 minutes.

3:3 draw, Phil and Gu Wenming each scored one goal, and Director Qi scored two goals.

Liang Yifei also scored!

He played the defender, Director Qi flew over with a corner kick, Liang Yifei jumped high, cleared the ball with a header, and the ball flew into the corner of his own gate.

The audience laughed!

……

……

Eating, drinking, and playing, the three-week English course came to an end.

For most cadres, the past three weeks seem to have passed too quickly, and they are still reminiscing about the taste of Coke in their mouths, and they seem to be still thinking about the shouts on the court, why did they end the class in the blink of an eye?

The new era held a small graduation ceremony, and the school specially printed a batch of cultural shirts, on which the names of 103 participating cadres were combined into three big characters 'New Era'.

Gu Wenming personally issued a graduation certificate to each participating cadre.

This thing is gilded, heavy in the hand, with Liang Yifei and the education bureau's big seal, completely modeled after the provincial university master's degree certificate customized, it looks quite high-grade, although it is not recognized by the state, but, after all, it is the largest private education in Binhai City, and it is the first batch, maybe it has a good commemorative value.

Liu Jianjian, Principal Gu Wenming, and Director Qi, the representative of the students, spoke successively, and after Lao Qi finished speaking, he threw the prepared speech to the side, and the students in the audience smiled and said, "Everyone, let's let Boss Liang come up and say a few words, okay?!"

"Say a few words!"

"Okay, Boss Liang, let me tell you a few words!"

There was a burst of coaxing in the audience, Liang Yifei, who was sitting in the first row, got up and waved his hand to the back, walked up to the stage, took the microphone from Lao Qi's hand, coughed first, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Lao Qi passed the ball to me last time, I entered an oolong, give me the microphone today, I really don't have any preparation, it's not good, don't coax everyone!"

I can't say coaxing, but when it comes to oolong, I have already coaxed and laughed again.

A kind smile, the kind of smile that has a 'common experience'.

After waiting for a few seconds, Liang Yifei officially spoke again.

"First of all, I would like to thank the Education Bureau and all the leaders for their love in choosing our new era;

We had a pleasant and fulfilling three weeks at school;

In school, we are teachers, students, and classmates, and when we leave the school, we may be friends, superiors and subordinates, leaders and leaders;

But I think that in addition to these relationships, there is another layer that is more cherished between me and all of you, between you here, and between you and the new era, that is, alumni and classmates.

Just like the cultural shirts on everyone's body, these one hundred and three people, one hundred and three names, are all independent individuals, but we have gathered together to form the three words of the new era!

At present, the new era is just a private school that has just started, and it is an honor for the new era to have alumni like you, and the new era is proud of you;

I hope and firmly believe that in the near future, you can also be proud to be alumni of the new era!

Finally, I wish the motherland prosperity and prosperity, and you all have smooth sailing and steady progress!

Thank you!"

After Liang Yifei finished speaking, he walked to the center and bowed deeply to the stage.

Deputy County Magistrate Qi and Liu Jianshe stood up from their seats and took the lead in applauding.

Immediately after, hundreds of students and teachers burst into applause.
