Many times, our hearts will say to ourselves, "I can't", afraid to try

Many times, we will say to ourselves, "I can't", do not dare to try, but in fact, as long as you take the first step bravely, you may see a completely different scenery.

This article is Luo early candidates for a new Oriental cover letter, although he was only a high school graduate, did not go to college, but he was brave to challenge themselves, to do what ordinary people seem impossible to do.

(Text below)

President Yu, Hello:

Let me start by comparing the latest recruitment requirements of new Oriental:

1, strong English proficiency, English pronunciation standard

English proficiency is good, pronunciation is very standard, I have to admit than Wang Qiang's pronunciation is almost. Many people who pronounce horror (Song Hao, Chen San Yuan, etc.) can also be the brand teachers of new Oriental, I do not know why to ask for this article, although I do not have the problem.

2, university degree or above, English majors are preferred

Really do not like such snobbish conditions, this should have been xx the same school requirements.

3, has the examination TOEFL, the GRE experience

The GRE has been tested two times.

4, has the teaching experience, especially has taught above subjects is preferred

Taught the MLM class, which was later banned by the state, for half a year.

5, articulate, strong ability in Chinese, Mandarin standard

Not only clever, simply fierce, Putonghua is very standard, in addition to the volume of the tongue is not very concerned about (if you care, flat tongue sound will also be wrong, so the two evils of the balance of the light).

6, with a strong sense of humour, class can be lively

I'll make them happy.

7, with strong life and scientific knowledge, class can erudite

In addition to Chen San Yuan, my teachers in New Oriental (Zhang, Wang Yifeng, Wang Kunsong) are almost illiterate, and of course they are small. In the final analysis, Chen San Yuan's whole knowledge is only to let people see that he has no knowledge.

8, with modern thinking and inspiring ability, can guide students to fight for the future

New Oriental students are the most cooperative, most easily encouraged, because they come to class the biggest goal is to accept agitation, this is no problem.

9, under the age of 40 years old

28 years old.

Here is my resume or readme:

Luo, male, born in 1972, Dragon and Dragon County, Jilin Province, Longmen commune.

Yanji in Jilin Province in junior High school, because of nature maniac, very early abandoned some of the subjects I hated at the time, such as algebra, Chemistry, English, and then had to rely on the relationship to enter the local best high school, which is my integrity 30 years a relatively rare stain. Because I and China's education system is not fit and refuse to compromise, 1989 High school sophomore year, the initiative to drop out.

Sometimes I think I'm far more eager to go to higher education than those who have read a PhD from primary school. We all know that Qian Zhongshu into Tsinghua When mathematics is 0 points (later proved to be actually 15 points), Lu Yano into the Southeast University is also a math 0 points, Zang home to Shandong National Qingdao University when the same situation. Are the presidents of today's universities so broad-minded? Of course, found that their article writing is not as good as Qian Zhongshu after years of things, fortunately finally found.

After dropping out of school, I was basically self-education (my self-education was much earlier than before I dropped out of school), mainly through books. Because the family is still barely, I can relatively calmly read a few years of books, "Alone with the Spirit of heaven and earth."

Based on "intellectuals to live with dignity, a little money" such a recognition (in fact, mainly because the book price more and more expensive), I from 1990 to 1994 have sifted sand, put the old book, Agent of wholesale market investment, smuggling cars, made futures, Also as a short-term travel status to Korea to sell Chinese aphrodisiac drugs and other supplements. The embarrassing thing is that none of this has made me "a little bit of money," and actually, compared to most of the friends I've struggled with, I'm glad I'm at least not losing money.

I have come to realize that I may not be fit to do business, and it is not a difficult thing to accept for a man of intellectual self, unless it also means that I will be doomed to poverty.

In the summer of 1994, I found a Tianjin Sino-Korean joint venture, and was sent to South Korea to learn stainless steel metal spot welding technology, the summer of 1995 back home, unfortunately my sister also transferred to the Tianjin company and served as deputy general Manager, in order to avoid suspicion I had to find another way out.

From August 1995 to the beginning of 1996, by a pyramid marketing company (Shanghai Ya Ting), the old classmate force invited, I spoke about six months of MLM class, deeply loved by the majority of students. It is regrettable that the State has adopted a policy of banning rather than rectifying the controversial business form, so that when the situation is not right, we will take the initiative to end the business before the order is imposed.

Because at that time I fell in love with Western music (all forms other than classical), probably received thousands of English records, in order to understand what they are singing, I am talking about the MLM class at the same time, began to learn a once repugnant English. I was in a local three-stream private English school for three months of basic English classes, and later because they pretexts, refused to give me the bonus (I went to the court to sue, and by the court hard to accept the case), I had to self-study.

I really do not know what to do in a small place, so I settled down in Tianjin in the summer of 1996 (at that time I like Beijing, but the Beijing house prices are too insane), rely on the northeast friends to send some computer parts, as well as some of the later sporadic translation of some mechanical equipment, English technical articles Because the lazy nature is not wasted so far.

I want to thank the inexplicable prophecy "the centuries", although I am not a superstitious person, but last year Labour I saw that famous prophecy "July 1999, the King of Terror will fall from the sky ..." or a little hesitation, I seriously think about the possibility of the end of my life have any unfinished wish, It turns out that only losing weight.

Since I have memories I was a pain of the fat, because fat, I even have to hide my character more sensitive melancholy side, because the fat people are usually subconsciously robust think should be joking, should be cheerful, should Xiaoping. They have a high tolerance for the character of a fat man, the upper limit is serious, and a little more, such as melancholy.

Although they could never tell the idea so accurately, if they saw a depressed fat man, they would have intuition about what was wrong, and the essence of their intuition was, "You're a fat man. What else do you want? "It is very difficult to see a fat and influential poet because the public cannot accept it and let his poetry be miserable and green."

Of course fat people's pain is never worth sympathizing with (unless it is due to pathology or genetics) because they are fat usually because of a lack of strong will (perhaps except for Churchill). I'm a typical, I'm obese because of disgust movement, I have had more than 10 failed weight loss experiences, I have tried dieting, exercise, qigong and almost all the drugs that have been popular, including the Fiamingo in the West, I always suspect that I am not as cheerful as a child because of the misuse of fentanyl, Its weight-loss pharmacological effect is to reduce the appetite by depressing the person, in fact, it is not developed to lose weight, it is used to make mild manic psychosis patients to stabilize the mood of drugs. I am a serious victim of China's backward drug-testing system.

After last year's 51, I made a strict plan: to eat only vegetables, tofu, whole wheat bread, fish, orange juice, skim milk and good deposit, one hours a day to run 10 kilometers, that is, the standard runway 25 laps. I have to be proud of, I only spent 58 days to lose 48 kg weight, remove the rest of the Sunday, almost a pound a day. Then I was in a calm mood to greet anything that never happened in July.

After this incident, I found that I was a person of perseverance. But I do not know what my perseverance should be used to do, although the end did not come, but the new century, 30 years old also coming, this is really a thing that makes people restless.

Later, I wanted to immigrate to Canada, so while looking for information, while to Tianjin University night-run oral English classes, a class of more than 20 people, a foreign teacher (more time is foreign students) and we have a wide range of Hu Chat, in addition to politics. I have a total of four such classes, oral English is almost, of course, still stay in the more common level of communication, at least I watch English movies still need to see subtitles, although in Tianjin in four years I have seen about 600 English movies.

After the New Year's Day, a child and I eat when suddenly asked me why not to go to new Oriental teaching, you should be very suitable to go to new Oriental teaching. I say I like to teach, but what's the future of a thru? He said that if the annual salary of millions of jobs is not a future, then he has nothing to say. I must say I'm surprised.

Anyway, I looked carefully at the materials I could find about the new Oriental, I think this job is very suitable for me, especially to see Yang Ji teacher on the Web page said, "To be a free and dedicated person is my dream, new Oriental is to achieve its good place." For the first time in my 30 years of idle thinking, I seem to have seen a job that suits me and that I am interested in doing. Yang Ji also relayed Schiller's words, "True to your youth's dreams." I have not read Schiller's things, just know that there are two writing, Schiller, do not know which one said this, but I would rather think of it as the spirit of the new Oriental.

I've heard that teaching TOEFL is about the same as teaching GRE, but GRE is much harder to learn.

I thought or chose the GRE, after all, the TOEFL is specifically for non-English-speaking students, teaching the satisfaction of a lot inferior.

Lunar New Year, because I do not know whether the need for a college diploma, I tried to write a letter to Miss Yu, mentioned that I have only a high school diploma, the result of the answer is welcome to the interview, in addition to gratitude I can say? I mean, even without a diploma, I would still be a teacher in new Oriental, But may have to forge documents, as a more principled than most people, to the intellectuals, if possible, I hope not to engage in these false things, President Yu's enlightened, so that I do not have to go against my nature and principles of things, to maintain the integrity of the personality, which I often remember.

After the spring Festival to deal with some chores, soon to June, I bought this "red" on the mountain. Jiufeng Mountain of learning atmosphere and bad conditions I like very much, should be because life has a clear goal relationship. But I soon found that the level of teaching teachers and their remuneration, as well as the reputation of the new Oriental is not ideal. I see most of my classmates are very good at evaluating all the teachers, and most people laugh when they hear silly jokes, frivolous insults caused by the superficial analysis of ETS and racist and religious discrimination.

This, in the end, confirms once again that I have always cherished the view that any relatively good group is mostly idiots. Regardless of the stage is 300 to listen to MLM social idle personnel, or 300 to listen to the GRE college graduates, for a lecture of the people are not much different, this is their on the stage, bragging about the source of confidence.

Of course, most of the students here are very good professional, hardworking, positive progress, character is also far more than I have the quality of success, I just said they lack of fun, they are smart (at least they dare to test the GRE mathematics, this is I do not dare to think of), but no Reiki, the character is not bad, just lack of independent thinking ability.

I only like to Chen San Yuan a person's class, so afterwards also only goes to his one person's class, other time a person in the dormitory back word. Chen San Yuan In addition to nonsense gossip more than the standard, academic attitude has made me feel very good, speaking of charter this word, he said that in order to find the meaning of the sentence, searched all the dictionaries can not find a satisfactory explanation, and finally spent more than 1000 dollars to buy a huge and heavy Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, Finally found the answer in the last of the 25 interpretations of Charter, listed in the dictionary.

He was very dismissive when talking about the shoddy filling of books in the market. I have three years of teaching experience has been carefully prepared a book, the author of the title is absolutely no I delve deeply, they will be made up, and then hurriedly published quickly grasp the money, I can say this is the epitome of this, is now in print, We'll see you soon. "

Because in the mountain time, the word has not how to back, the topic has not done, therefore he these attitudes and the performance once let me admire. Found that the wrong was started after the descent, I recorded all of his class recordings, and when I listened to a lot of questions, I found out that his analysis was flawed, though he criticized the new Oriental teachers for the correct answers and then analyzed them, but his work was clearly the same. He can always use the wrong analytic reasoning to give you the right answer.

In addition, I found all the three-stream dictionaries, including English-Chinese dictionaries, in Charter's first interpretation, he claimed that the answer found in the last article of the 25 interpretation of the New International dictionary, which was not abridged by Webster's third edition, was "issued by a monarch or legislature to a city or university with a charter of its privileges and purposes", So I also bought a 10-pound Webster's third edition back, found only 13 interpretation, and in the 2nd article explains the problem.

Now his fill in the blank course is in my hand, only in the No.4 52 questions, I found 18 mistakes, if the translation of the error is not important to students, then the problem analysis of the error also has 10. This also finally makes me change the idea, decided to fill in the blank teacher, originally I want to be a vocabulary teacher, so can sea wide sky open ground nonsense.

I dare to come to the new oriental on such a condition, in addition to the most obvious superficial reasons, the main is to teach the confidence of the blank class. After the second test I have been preparing the blanks, the most time-consuming is the No.4 to 1994 of the full fill in the blanks into Chinese, more than 400 sentences translated, incredibly used me for a full one months, basically one hours translation three sentences, of course, fast two minutes a, It's hard to flip a few hours when you are slow.

These sentences are the work outside of my original lesson plan, and the reason why I have to do this work is that Qian Kunqiang and Chen San Yuan two "miserable" textbooks. Chankun The book is not necessary to say, this person has Chinese problems, although I firmly believe that his English is much higher than my level (perhaps should be said to be skilled), but theoretically a person if the mother tongue is not good (which means that he is not sensitive to the language itself), then he must not master any other language, even if he can skillfully use, Also not suitable for language work, such as text translation. His super Cloze program, sold in the basement of new Oriental for two years, has not been officially published, to some extent, the standard of the book.

As for the Chen San Yuan that I like very much, he said in the preface of the book: "When translating, try to embody the structure of the original text so that candidates can understand the characteristics of the original sentence structure in the original, so that the relationship between the structure and the design of the answer option ... Doing so would make the sentence a little more European and unnatural ... Not to apply the seemingly gorgeous but specious idiom. ”

As an examination material, he claimed that the principles and purposes of translation is very good, but unfortunately, I see is not only a European or unnatural problem. First of all, the expression of the original structure should be translated into Chinese, the composition of each sentence in the original text is the same as the same composition in the translation, instead of translating all the ingredients into the corresponding Chinese words, what is the difference between these methods and the translation results of the poor software such as "Jinshan fast translation"?

In fact, the translation of "Jinshan fast translation", though Dog, but even if we do not see the original text, by guessing can be roughly understood what it wants to say, this is like the Japanese did not learn to see the Japanese electrical appliances in the description of the Chinese characters, can vaguely guess the effect of the same. Chen San Yuan's translation is essentially such a thing, of course, somewhat different.

In fact, the European is not terrible, especially in a study of textbooks, even in the literature, some malignant European today has become part of modern vernacular. Chen San Yuan's translation is not a matter of European, his translation is the same as the Chankun, the most frightening and unbelievable is that, as a so-called translation, if the text is divorced from the control, no Chinese know what these sentences are saying, I mean that these sentences literally say that no one can understand, Not because the meaning of the sentence is obscure and difficult to understand, so that people can not see what it wants to express.

In addition, read a lot of sentences and turn the wrong, even if you do not understand the meaning of the sentence does not affect the choice of the correct answer, but as a teaching reference book, if the reference translation is wrong, how to convince the students? Except in a perverted way, such as "Miss Chen's translation is wrong, but his GRE scores are so high , it can be seen that do not understand the sentence on the answer is helpful "this kind."

My translation embodies these principles, first of all because it is not literary translation, I pay attention to the maximum use of the structure of the original text, so that the sentence composition in the translation as far as possible as the corresponding component of the original text. For this correspondence, sometimes there will be some more inconsistent with the Chinese habit of sentence structure, such as some in English can be placed after the attributive clause, according to Chinese grammar placed in front of the modified object, the sentence appears bloated, and also may lead to punctuation difficulties.

For this kind of question, I use parentheses and dashes in a lot of these sentences, most of the time, if you read only the contents outside the parentheses, you read the complete skeleton of the sentence, and the modifiers that make the sentence structure complex are in parentheses, but if you assume that the brackets don't exist, connect them to read, is also a fluent and complete without faulty sentence, so as compared with the original text reading, the corresponding components and the main structure of the original sentence clearly distinguishable.

In the problem-solving thinking I fixed Chen San Yuan book all the not rigorous place, incredibly is these not rigorous error, in his book actually has 30%. My draft has a lot of advantages, although I have done it, but I do not want to explain to others, "I do the work of cattle in the cow ..." such things waste too much time, so no more analysis.

If we all accept the assumption that there is no such thing as perfection, then what I want to say is that my blank book is the one closest to perfection. I hope that my frankness will not pour your appetite, of course, I know the openness of the new Oriental to speak like this.

If the only criterion of the new Oriental publication is the quality of the book, without weighing other factors, the life expectancy of the Chen San Yuan book will not and should not exceed one year. Need to do an effect not necessarily ideal statement is that I did not intend to attack Chen San Yuan, he said in class, the new Oriental colleagues in one of the advantages is not to undermine each other, may be privately and without a mutual exchange but not to slander each other, which for the cause or the success of life played a relatively positive role.

Although this view is not in my nature, but I also know that if everyone is a scholar, the new Oriental is not today. So I accepted his view, and based on that, I did not want to attack him any more, and to a large extent, my view of him is now frankly, because he has left, there is no problem of harmony. Besides, his excellent sense of humour and excellent affinity are all I admire, after all, he is new Oriental I have seen the favorite teacher (if not the only one). I am more than sorry for his work and his academic attitude.

Of course I know there will be some young teachers disdain to say, teach the GRE, calculate a fart scholarship? Well, then.

I think I probably look like a monster, graduated from high school, did not dare to test math, incredibly want to be a teacher. But I went to new Oriental job is not to be a teacher, I was to do excellent teachers, so it is not suitable for commonsense judgments. Even if the new Oriental reputation and remuneration make it never lack of teachers, I also know that excellent teachers are never too much, if the new Oriental never lack of excellent teachers, then I also know that better teachers are always new Oriental urgent need.

Gong advised Heaven "eclectic talent", if "eclectic" result is lowered all aspects of the development of serious imbalance, although far from comprehensive but is very excellent deformity talent, who to persuade New Oriental "eclectic with talent"? Think of Mr. Wang Qiang's experience, so I also try to convince you, We all know that the American old man, although think he is absurd, but he gave Wang Qiang a chance to see him, a chance to convince him, so I think I need is a chance. Give me a chance to interview or trial, I will be the best teacher in New Oriental, the worst case will be "one".

If a few years later you come to the new Oriental to see a person, Yi, familiar, just can't remember who, like Luo brother, notice, I do not have a brother.
