On February 4, the beginning of spring, the Chinese government held a conference on education reform in the Great Hall of the People.

The No. 1 chief announced: "In the new year, we will unswervingly carry out drastic educational reforms, continue to follow the education system with socialist characteristics, let new science and technology become the backbone of reform, implement education for all, and improve the cultural quality of the people!" ”

...

In the tradition of the Chinese people, reading has always been the top priority, as the saying goes: one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin and virtue, and five reading. The first few are all illusory things, and only reading books can really grasp them.

For poor parents, the education of their children is the top priority, even if they are suffering and starving, they must provide for their children to go to school and study, only by reading can they get out of the way and change their fate!

Therefore, as soon as the meeting was announced, it immediately aroused the close attention of the whole society and caused a heated discussion on the Internet and in reality.

But at this time, the society is still discussing the same old way, quality education and examination-oriented education, education equity in various provinces and cities... and so on, they are all old and old goods, and they can't escape the original cage.

All the problems cannot escape the core college entrance examination selection system, although the college entrance examination is not perfect, but at present, there is still no other system that can replace it.

Therefore, before the government introduced a specific plan for education reform, many people expressed disbelief and did not expect... No matter how it is changed, as long as the college entrance examination system still exists, it will inevitably be a blind toss with thunder and rain.

However, they underestimated the determination of the Chinese government!

The February 4 education reform meeting lasted 16 hours, from morning to late at night. The meeting overnight approved the pilot measures for education reform, which designated English as a pilot subject and opened up virtual learning methods.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, the Ministry of Education announced the specific measures to the whole society.

Fan Yumin had just finished scrubbing, walked to his son's room, and heard a thin snoring sound coming from inside, stinky boy! It's so comfortable, you have to get up at half past six almost every day, and you have to rush to the company at half past eight.

Hello stinky boy, there are still winter and summer vacations to sleep in, I'm so envious.

There was a pain in the waist, and I didn't have to look back to know that it must be a loser. I only heard her warn: "What are you doing blindly? Want to sleep with your son again? Go and go, Qiang Qiang studied late last night, don't argue with him, otherwise I'll be in a hurry with you! ”

Alas... I always feel that my status at home is getting lower and lower. Both of them are treasures, but I'm grass, forget who called me a rough man.

Fan Yumin turned his head and nibbled on his flower-like wife, and then sighed and sat in front of the TV with noodles to watch the news.

Educational Reform Trial Measures... It's really not easy for the Minister of Education, but like us ordinary people, he has to go to work early in the morning.

Suck and slip... Suck and slip... Forehead!?

As soon as he saw the beginning, Fan Yumin was shocked, jumped up with a basin, dragged the noodles that had not been finished in his mouth, and shouted vaguely: "Broken mother!" Mother-in-law! Come and see Xiwen! ”

His wife walked up to Fan Yumin with a rag, saw his strange appearance, and scolded with a smile: "What are you muttering about early in the morning?" Watch out for me beating you! ”

Fan Yumin pointed to the TV and shouted anxiously: "Hmm... Smell the West and smell the West! Look at the West! ”

My wife really didn't have anything he could do, so she said angrily: "Swallow the noodles before you speak, what does such a big person look like." ”

Suck!

With a bang, Fan Yumin put down the note, his eyes lit up, and said, "Mother-in-law!" The country is canceling the English test! You don't need to take English for the college entrance examination! “

"What!? No need to take the English test! His wife was even more shocked when she heard this, turned around and grabbed the TV, and when she watched the Minister of Education's speech, she burst into tears of joy.

My son's grades in other subjects are very good, but he can't learn English, and he can score 34 points in a 120-point paper... I've beaten and scolded, and I've lured me with pocket money, it's completely useless! I can only send it to a cram school to learn English every day, but it still doesn't improve, and the score is still hanging at forty or fifty points.

Let them both worry about a few more wrinkles... Now you don't have to take the test! Liberated! Thanks to the country, thanks to the party!

...

Fan Yumin's company is a well-known web portal, and his position is a web editor. Because he has been excited with his wife for too long, Fan Yumin, a model employee, is unprecedentedly late.

Even the leaders of the unit were alarmed, and as soon as he arrived at the position, he was called into the office, and the leader asked with concern: "Yumin, you are late for the first time in ten years, are you in trouble?" I think a lot of about you, though. ”

At this time, Fan Yumin's excitement had not passed, he smiled all over his face, rubbed his hands, and explained: "No, it's okay... No, no hassle! Not really! Boss, have you watched the news? The college entrance examination is going to cancel the English subject, my son is in the third year of high school this year, and he can't speak English in any subject, so he is so happy, so he was accidentally late. ”

"Cancel English!? No way! The leader of the unit was also shocked, except for the number of languages, it was the basic three subjects, and he suffered a lot for this when he was studying. Open the web page and search for related news... I was even more dumbfounded at first glance.

The Ministry of Education announced that the college entrance examination will abolish English subjects, reduce the number of foreign language majors in colleges and universities year by year, and simplify the English proficiency test to three levels.

Level 1: Meet the basic daily communication, be able to understand, read and understand non-professional TV programs and news reports, this level is the basic rights and interests of the people. As long as you pay a cost of 150 yuan, you can study in the virtual world. According to the precise calculations of experts, ordinary people with no foundation can pass the assessment within three months as long as they study in the virtual space for 2 hours a day.

Level 2: On the basis of Level 1, it extends to the field of work, and the achiever can read professional documents in English, conduct business activities, and understand English contracts without barriers at work. Wait a minute. The overall composition of the vocabulary is: business English + professional English in a certain field. The study time is 3 hours a day, and the tuition fee for half a year is 5,000 yuan, and you can sign up if you pay money.

Level 3: Expert level English, currently non-English majors are not eligible to apply, passers can write in English as if using Chinese, and carry out simultaneous translation work. Reaching this level, it is a step further than the TOEFL IELTS of the 8th Specialty, there is nothing to learn, and it has been learned as a tool subject... The study time is 9 months, the study time is 5 hours a day, and the tuition fee is 8,000.

...

Unlike Fan Yumin, his leadership has no direct interest in education reform, so he can analyze it more soberly.

He keenly discovered the heart of the matter – the virtual learning method! According to the Ministry of Education, virtual learning has greatly shortened the learning time and cost of learning for the population, but what about other subjects? Isn't it just as effective?

At that moment, an electric current of inspiration struck his head! Hot spot! News! Flow rate! It's developed!

He swiped it, stood up, and shouted at Fan Yumin: "Call all the editors to the meeting immediately!" This report must be firmly grasped! We're going to be developed! Maybe the boss will be happy and will give us a big red envelope before the year! ”

...

After the Minister of Education announced the specific reform plan, it caused a big event that caught everyone off guard!
