Chapter 163: Spoken English with a Chinese Flavor

"Oops, thank you so much. My name is Feng Lu. I am very good at English, Maths, Physics and Chemistry, preferably in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. My spoken English is Chinese-style English, so I can't teach spoken English, but English grammar, reading and writing are okay and can be taught. ”

"I'm just trying to ask for you, I guess there's not much hope. Our institution has not recruited college students yet, and the teachers recruited are all university or middle school teachers, and they must have a teaching certificate, do you have one? ”

"I didn't." Feng Lu regretted it when she heard that she wanted a teacher qualification certificate. In the past, Wang Haitao had discussed with her about preparing for the certification together, when Wang Haitao wanted to take a structural engineer certificate and persuaded her to take a teacher qualification certificate or a certified public accountant. But Feng Lu was busy working as a teaching assistant at the time and didn't have time to study for certification. But Wang Haitao persevered and has already obtained a certificate as a structural engineer.

"Hey, without a teaching certificate, it's even less likely to keep you. But I'll ask you. The girl felt sorry for her and sighed.

"Okay, please ask me first, and then talk about it if it's okay. Thank you, what do you call it? ”

"No thanks, my name is Wang Qian. You go sit on the chair next to you for a while, and I'll call our boss and ask. ”

Wang Qian walked into the front desk and found her mobile phone to call: "Sister Tian, there is a college student and a senior girl in our store." She wanted to find a job with us, and she said that mathematics, physics, and chemistry could all be taught...... I asked, she can teach English, but she said that her spoken English is Chinese spoken English, and she said that only spoken English can't be taught, grammar, sentence patterns, etc...... No, she doesn't have a teaching certificate...... But this student looks really good and serious...... Okay, Sister Tian, I understand, I'll tell her. ”

Wang Qian hung up the phone and said to Feng Lu: "I guess you heard it just now, our boss said that he could have let you try to teach English, but it just so happened that the original teacher who taught English was about to give birth, and he just asked our boss for leave, and he won't be able to come to class soon." Our boss said he was looking for an English substitute teacher. But you don't have a teaching certificate, and our boss can't do it. All teachers in our main store are required to have a teaching certificate in order to come to the class. ”

"Teacher Wang, can you give me your boss's phone number, and I'll tell her about it on the phone." Feng Lu learned that there was such a good opportunity in front of her, and she was so excited in her heart, how could she let it go so easily? She wanted to ask her boss for permission to receive her in person.

Wang Qian's face was difficult: "This ...... Not very well, our boss should talk about me later. ”

"I'll call you and promise not to harass your boss."

"In that case, you don't want our boss's phone either. For the sake of you and my aunt and their family being fellow villagers, I'll be a good person to the end, and lend you my mobile phone to call. Wang Qian said, skillfully dialed out the boss's phone, and dialed out, "Sister Tian, it's still me, the college student just now wanted to say a few words to you." ”

Feng Lu gratefully took the phone handed over by Wang Qian, and said into the microphone: "Hello, boss! I am a senior student, and I want to use this winter vacation to work and study, on the one hand, to exercise my practical skills, and on the other hand, to earn living expenses during the holidays.

Yes, Mr. Wang conveyed your opinion to me just now. Teacher Wang also said that you need an English teacher here immediately, I can teach English, you can ask someone to test my English ability. Yes, boss, I don't have a teaching certificate, but I want you to hire me first, I can hire me as a teaching assistant without the treatment of a teacher. I've been working as a teaching assistant at our school, and if you hire me, I won't let you down. If you don't feel at ease, you can try me for a week, and you can take care of my food, drink and round-trip fares during the trial period.

If I can't pass the assessment during the probationary period, I will take the initiative to leave, what do you think? If I can pass your assessment, you can keep me as a teaching assistant! …… Yes, I have worked as a teaching assistant in our school, and I have also helped teachers in our school who teach international students, helped teachers with lessons, and corrected homework.

…… Really, I don't pick on treatment. …… Yes, you can give me a teaching assistant for my original English teacher, and there is no problem at all. …… I can also come over after winter break until my English teacher comes back from maternity leave. …… Okay, I'll see you again in the evening,...... Okay, thank you, boss, I'll go back and get ready, and come back on time at six o'clock. ”

After Feng Lu finished speaking, she handed the phone back to Wang Qian, and said to the girl excitedly: "Teacher Wang, thank you so much!" Your boss asked me to come over at 6 p.m., and she said to arrange an interview with my English teacher. ”

"You're so good at convincing our boss so quickly. Congratulations, then go back and get ready. Hope you succeed in your interview as well! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang, can you give me some advice for tonight's interview? Feng Lu understood that this teacher Wang Qian had a good impression of her, she took the teacher's arm and said in a chirping voice.

"Nope. I didn't go to college, I've only been here for half a year, and I've never been to an interview with them to recruit teachers, so I really don't have any advice. But when they were interviewing, I saw that the interview was as if the boss was interviewing in person with one or two teachers. You are a college student and have worked as a teaching assistant in your school, and you are applying to be a teaching assistant here, so there should be no problem. Wang Qian comforted her.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang! I'll go back first, and I'll come back in the evening. Mr. Wang, you were still here at that time, right? ”

"Yes. I don't leave work until nine o'clock every night. ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang, then I'll go first, see you later!"

"Bye-bye!"

Feng Lu said goodbye to Wang Qian and returned to the dormitory. There was no one in the dormitory as usual, so she turned on her laptop, downloaded some New Oriental speaking and listening from the Internet, put on headphones to learn, followed the pronunciation, and temporarily strengthened her English speaking skills. Although she worked as an English teaching assistant, that was a year ago, and now she hasn't practiced spoken English specifically for a long time. English grammar, composition, etc., that is something engraved in her bones after taking the college entrance examination, and she can take it out and use it at any time, not to mention that she has already passed the English level 4 and 6 exams in college, like the other five roommates. She has also insisted on downloading American soundtrack movies and TV series from the Internet to watch, and after a few years, she has no problems listening to English. Only in terms of spoken English, she is not very confident, and always feels that she is speaking spoken English with a Chinese flavor.

Feng Lu practiced speaking loudly in the dormitory, and when she was tired, she changed to practice in a low voice, and after a break, she began to practice loudly again. During this period, she only drank two bottles of water, and she didn't even have time to eat lunch, so she insisted on practicing for four or five hours until her throat itched, and then she stopped. She searched the Internet, thought carefully about some of the questions that her boss and English teachers might ask during the interview, and came up with English sentences to use to answer them.
