Chapter 52: Lecturers
Jingzhi's curiosity is perfectly satisfied.
She picked up the mug on the table in front of her and drank half a cup in one gulp.
This cup of hot chocolate is very pure, sweet and bitter, a little more bitter than the chocolate powder brew, and with the pure fresh milk inside, it tastes quite good.
At this time, the lecturer came over and asked with a smile, "What?" Seeing that you are chatting so happily, do you two know each other? ”
"I have just introduced myself," Liang Jingsheng said with a smile, "She also told me that her name is Chen Jingzhi, and she is from the School of Science of our school." ”
"Oh? Faculty of Science? When the lecturer heard Liang Jingsheng's words, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Wouldn't it be a little difficult for you as a science student to understand our theories of education?" ”
"It's okay, it's a little uncomfortable at first...", Jingzhi shrugged her shoulders, "and gradually got used to it." ”
"That's okay...", the lecturer patted Jingzhi on the shoulder a few times, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I'll explain it to you in more detail." ”
"No," Jingzhi said with a slight shake of her head, "I understood everything during class. ”
"That's good," the lecturer glanced at Liang Jingsheng and continued, "Jingsheng is a new high-achieving student in our college.
If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask him.
Although he has just started his first year of doctoral studies, he knows no less professional knowledge than I have been a lecturer for several years. ”
"Don't worry," Liang Jingsheng said with a smile, "although I don't know much, I will try my best to help her." Speaking of this, Liang Jingsheng glanced at Jingzhi meaningfully, and continued, "If... If she needs it..."
"Haha, you're a warm-hearted person!" The lecturer laughed, "I'm most relieved to leave things to you!" ”
Jingzhi stood up, bowed slightly, and said with deep apologies: "I had an accident on the road just now and was a few minutes late. I'm so sorry! ”
"It's okay, it's nothing." The lecturer waved his hand lightly and said, "It's normal to have such a heavy rain and encounter some accidents on the road." It's nothing...", the lecturer smiled, "It's okay, don't take it personally. ”
Seeing the lecturer's tolerant attitude, Jingzhi was relieved.
"Oh, yes!" The lecturer suddenly thought of something, turned around, took out an A4 piece of paper from her bag, and handed it to Jingzhi.
It turned out to be a sign-in sheet.
On the left side is the list of participants, and on the right side is everyone's signature.
Jingzhi took the piece of paper, sat down, picked up the pen on the table, neatly signed the Hanyu Pinyin of her name, added the three Chinese characters of her name to the back, and then handed it to the lecturer, saying, "There is something I am very curious about, and I want to ask for advice." Jingzhi still couldn't suppress her curiosity after all, and blurted out a sentence that had been held in her heart for a long time.
"If you have any questions, you ask." Seeing that Jingzhi was still a little shy, the lecturer encouraged her and said, "It's okay, you can ask." ”
After speaking, the lecturer's expression became serious, waiting for Jingzhi to ask a question.
"I was trying to ask... That one... You speak English so well that you speak almost always long, long compound sentences.
I'm just curious, how can I get to the level you are? ”
"Haha!" Hearing Jingzhi's compliments, the lecturer laughed happily, "It's nothing, I'm just working harder than others."
To be honest, at the beginning, when I first came to the UK to study for my PhD, I was very bad at speaking.
I had no problem listening or reading, but my speaking and writing were still a lot worse than other PhD students.
I was particularly reluctant at the time.
Later, I made a plan for myself to study English and practiced speaking and writing desperately.
Practice every day, practice every day...
It took me about a year to catch up with my spoken English.
Now, I'm completely fine with speaking and writing. ”
"Oh, that's right," Jingzhi nodded, "and how do you practice speaking?" Jingzhi opened the conversation, and the questions were one after another.
"Practice as much as you can, I can only give you this one piece of advice."
"Where to practice?" Jingzhi was puzzled and said, "Who are you looking for to accompany me to practice?" ”
"Find anyone," the lecturer said with a smile, "anywhere you can talk: coffee shops, restaurants, shops, cinemas..."
"Anyone?" Jingzhi was even more puzzled, "Do you want to pull someone over and talk to me?" ”
"It's not just about asking people to come and talk," the lecturer said, shaking his head, "but in many situations, talking to other people and practicing my ability to communicate in English." ”
The lecturer was still at a loss when he saw Jingzhi, so he had to continue to explain: "Let's say you go to the bookstore and want to see if there are any good books.
At this time, you can ask a salesperson at a bookstore to recommend you a few good books.
In the process of communicating with the sales person, you can practice your oral expression well. ”
Seeing Jingzhi's sudden realization, the lecturer smiled and gently patted her shoulder, and said earnestly: "Most of the salespeople and waiters here are British locals.
Don't be afraid, don't be shy, talk to them and practice.
As the saying goes, hard work can make up for it, right? ”
"Well, you're quite right!" Jingzhi said happily, "Thank you for your advice. I'll try! ”
"Well, let's do our best!" As he spoke, the lecturer glanced at Liang Jing again and said, "The future is yours!" Go for it! ”
"We'll do our best," Liang Jingsheng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Li Yuan." ”
At this time, Jingzhi knew that the lecturer's name was Li Yuan.
She was a few minutes late and missed the self-introduction that Li Yuan had made at the beginning.
At this time, the class bell rang.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Yuan asked everyone to continue to discuss the next set of questions, which was also fifteen minutes.
Soon, everyone began to express their opinions and discuss the issues in the material one by one.
In this class, we were divided into small groups to discuss two sets of questions.
At the end of the discussion, the lecturer summarized the results of the discussion.
Everyone was basically the same and actively participated in the discussion.
The time of a lesson passed quickly.
"It's time to say goodbye," Li Yuan said after summarizing the last group's speeches, "thank you very much for braving the heavy rain to attend these two training sessions for me today." ”
As soon as her words fell, there was a burst of applause in the classroom, and everyone applauded one after another, thanking Li Yuan for his hard work today.
"I am very happy to be able to discuss problems with you," Li Yuan said with a smile, "I hope that your teaching work will go smoothly in the future."
In the future, if you have any questions about teaching, please feel free to contact me.
You can find my contact information on the official website of the Faculty of Education.
Thank you again! Good bye! ”
After speaking, Li Yuan bowed shallowly to express his gratitude.
