Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 167: English conversation

Zhang Boming got rid of the little girl's question with great difficulty, and ran to the dormitory area in three steps and two steps.

Looking around, there are rows of bungalows after the garden has not been renovated. Their windows all have small round chimneys sticking out, or blowing smoke from coal stoves, or trembling in the cold wind. The icicles that are ten or twenty centimeters in length, or even thirty to fifty centimeters in length, are painted black and shiny, falling on the lower edge of the chimney. Icicles are formed by condensation of water droplets flowing down the chimney. If they are not broken, one can hang down until the chimney can't stand it.

However, in the winter in the north, few chimneys are damaged by icicles, because this is children’s play material, whether it is knocking at hand or carefully taking off the beautiful icicles, it’s not inferior. Fun game for snowball fights.

Zhang Boming also grew up in a compound. He knocked off the icicle closest to him, and suddenly his face changed and he hid on the side.

The icicles will make a crisp sound when they hit the ground. Wouldn't it be bad if they were heard by Yang Rui and Jing Yulan.

Zhang Boming waited for a minute behind the wall and found that no one had opened the door. He sighed with relief, then gave a self-defeating smile, thinking: Anyway, after the exercise is over, who would put up his ears every day and listen to the movements outside.

Thinking about this, he still tiptoed to the door of the dormitory with 106 written on it, and then gently pressed his face to the crack of the door.

What I hear is a series of English.

Zhang Boming was taken aback and listened again.

The volume is higher or lower, the intonation rises or falls, but the English is correct.

Zhang Boming listened for a while and was at a loss. The sound coming out of the room is very small, which makes hearing more difficult.

Zhang Boming scratched his head in a hurry, he wanted to know what was going on inside.

Yang Rui and Jing Yulan speak English? What I think is wrong.

In fact, Yang Rui in the room also felt something was wrong.

Jing Yulan knocked on the door and came in and started speaking in English, and Yang Rui accompanied her to speak English because she was a beautiful woman. There is no entertainment now, and chatting with beautiful women is obviously much more interesting than sitting.

However, when Jing Yulan told him in English, "I am the English teacher invited by your grandfather", the English conversation instantly became boring.

What Jing Yulan uses is the method commonly used by English teachers at this time, which is a collection of various common conversations.

From the beginning, I continued to ask about transportation and hotel accommodation, and occasionally greeted the families of both parties...

The grammar she used became harder and harder to use, almost to the point where there were two clauses in a sentence, Yang Rui was completely blinded.

Many Chinese are very proud and think that Chinese is extremely difficult. Of course, Chinese is indeed extremely difficult, but speaking Chinese must be more complicated than other languages. It is somewhat taken for granted.

Difficulties in Chinese are often due to the existence of hieroglyphs, idioms, idioms and archaic words. However, since Chinese with an IQ of 80 can learn Chinese, foreigners with an IQ of 80 cannot learn Chinese. In the final analysis, Chinese is not attractive. More foreign elites will come to study. Compared with modern Chinese, the Chinese of the Tang Dynasty should be more complicated. At that time, countless foreigners chanted poetry in Chang'an, which can illustrate this point better.

English also has confusing idioms, fixed patterns, and archaic words. In some cases, the complex clauses are even more difficult for ordinary British people to understand. When a sentence is sandwiched with three or five clauses, and then two English proverbs and archaic phrases, the British people who can participate in the conversation are estimated to be able to participate in the dialogue. Only one percent is left.

Jing Yulan's level obviously exceeded Yang Rui's expectations. From his point of view, Jing Yulan at this time was capable of simultaneous interpretation at least in English. As far as China's current desire for foreign language talents is concerned, this beautiful woman can find a job almost everywhere.

Yang Rui didn't want to have a textbook-like silly conversation with her, and actively asked in English: "You came to me as a tuition teacher because of my grandfather?"

While Jing Yulan was speaking, she was still conceiving the next dialogue, thinking about how to fully understand Yang Rui's English proficiency. When he was asked, he stopped and said frankly in English: "Your grandfather promised to solve my brother's work, and I agreed."

She didn't hide anything.

Yang Rui's attitude towards her improved slightly, and she continued to ask: "Your English is so good. It's a family skill, right? Why is your brother going to be a worker?"

The position at Sanmao Factory offered by my grandfather is a pretty good job in Hedong Province. However, it is a worker job after all. Compared with the teaching position at Jing Yulan’s own Teachers College, the salary may be a lot, but the work intensity It is much higher, and the social status cannot be compared.

Given the current domestic situation, the demand for ordinary jobs is naturally in short supply, and the nationwide unemployment rate is also extremely high. It can be said that the streets are full of unemployed young people. But on the other hand, the domestic thirst for high-end technical talents is unimaginable for future generations.

Take English as an example. If the Chinese in the 1980s had the English proficiency of a mid-range returnee in the 21st century, they could go directly to the Beijing Foreign Ministry to apply for a job. Even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not accept it for various reasons, it is easy for such an English-speaking person to find a job in a ministry-level unit after making a few turns in Beijing.

If the conditions are relaxed, the customs and taxation units that graduates want to get into in the future will be more than enough for a low-level returnee. This year, Tianjin also recruited more than 3,000 unemployed young people to customs and other positions in one fell swoop. The qualifications only require technical secondary school or above. Although there are inevitable reasons for solving the problems of the children of the employees in this system, it is inevitable to seek talents.

The country has just opened, and any industry has a strong demand for foreign exchanges, even the traditional Chinese porcelain industry, if you can refer to the bone china technology of the United Kingdom and Japan, you can earn more than one million foreign exchange in a year. An English talent is really worth a lot.

Jing Yulan understood Yang Rui’s doubts very well, and smiled beautifully, saying, “My brother is different from me. When our house was decentralized, my brother was still young and was bullied in the village and didn’t want to go to school. He didn’t want to go to school either. Knowing when the sport will end, he doesn't want to learn English, so he just doesn't teach it, so as not to be reported..."

She still used English, but after speaking, she felt happy.

The pressure on the family is immense. Compared with economic pressure, political pressure makes people feel more powerless. In the past, Jing Yulan had never dared to say such things for fear of causing trouble to her parents. However, chatting in English is different, especially when she uses more difficult sentence patterns, even if Yang Rui can't understand it, don't worry if there are ears on the wall.

The fact is also true. Zhang Boming on the wall wanted to pull his ears off. He still hadn't had time to understand the English sentences at normal speed. What he regrets most now is that he didn't learn more English with his mother.

Yang Rui listened to Jing Yulan's words with some pity, and asked, "How old is your brother?"

"Six years younger than me, 20 years."

Yang Rui was surprised and smiled and said in English: "You have revealed your age."

"It's okay, I'm not going to marry anymore." Jing Yulan's voice was brisk.

Yang Rui dumbly: "Why?"

Yang Rui felt it was a pity that such a beautiful beauty would not marry, but he was also excited.

Jing Yulan was not in a hurry, but deliberately used increasingly difficult grammar, saying: "A few years ago, my mother was thinking about waiting for my father to be rehabilitated. She returned to the capital to find me a right person. As a result, the campaign ended so long. My father’s redress has not yet come out, but the family can’t even pay for the travel expenses. I want to work hard for a few years, save some money, and when my father comes home, I will stay at home and be filial to my parents..."

The content that could be expressed clearly, was immediately mixed into foreign languages ​​that normal people could not understand by Jing Yulan's one-pass attributive clause, predicate clause, and attributive clause's apposition clause.

She obviously regarded Yang Rui as the object of her confession, but she didn't want to really tell him the details.

Yang Rui can only understand a few specific usages. For example, her father has not yet been rehabilitated, and her mother is still on the go. As for what Jing Yulan said, Yang Rui has no idea.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the specific content. Yang Rui could guess what Jing Yulan was saying with just a few words. Contrary to what many people imagined in later generations, the rehabilitation after the exercise was not accomplished overnight. There are various changes in what people are rehabilitated and how they are rehabilitated. For example, He Long was completely rehabilitated in October 1982. By the time of statistics from the Organization Department in 1983, a total of more than 3 million people had implemented the redress policy. I want to know that it will take a long time to complete this work.

Jing Yulan's experience was unfortunate, but not alone.

Yang Rui couldn't help but feel pity, UU reading www.uukanshu.com persuaded: "The situation will always get better. Now that your brother has a job, your family won't have to worry about you anymore. In a few years, no matter what your father concludes. For good or bad, you are all able to take care of the elderly."

Jing Yulan was surprised: "Do you understand?"

Don't look at her understatement when she speaks, and almost no need to think, but this language ability is far superior to ordinary people, just a conversation with talent, Jing Yulan feels that Yang Rui can't understand, so she can speak freely.

Yang Rui wanted to make a joke. Seeing her serious expression, he moved in his heart and said, "I guessed it."

"How did you guess?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "There are several transliterated words in your sentence, as well as specific usages. I know these words. If you guess the context, you will know what you are talking about."

This is the basic method of English listening for later generations. Whether it is college entrance examination English or English four or six levels, the person who writes the question is not prepared to let intermediate students fully understand it. In some cases, it is impossible for students of excellent level to fully understand the listening skills. Understand, it's a more conscientious paper by listening to three points and guessing.

In contrast, although Jing Yulan's grammar is difficult and the speed of speech is fast, it is easier to guess because of his contemporary background.

However, Yang Rui’s listening and speaking ability was clearly beyond Jing Yulan’s expectations. She re-evaluated Yang Rui, smiled, and said, “You are indeed quite savvy, well, starting today, I will be your English-speaking family. The teacher."

"Good teacher." Yang Rui greeted again obediently, and moved the stool to Jing Yulan's side honestly, causing the two to sit together almost side by side.

The stories of tutors and students are also the main types of films that have nurtured a generation, and they are worth looking forward to.
