Chapter 168 The spirit of a scholar

"Sit a little bit." Jing Yulan no longer uses English, and her Chinese tone is very serious.

Yang Rui showed his pure little teeth and said, "The desk is so big. If I sit next to me, I can't use the table."

His dominant dormitory is specially approved by principal Zhao Dannian. Although there are fewer people, the dormitory will not become larger. He moved three of his original high and low beds, but added a bookcase, a desk for teachers and a backrest chair. There is also a coal stove and a flue in the middle of the room. The space is getting smaller and smaller. When the two sit side by side, they are almost at the bookcase. The place is indeed not big.

Of course, it is not completely unremovable.

Jing Yulan looked left and right, leaned his chair against the wall to the left, and made a punch.

Yang Rui smiled and when he didn't see it, he half turned sideways and slanted towards her, approached again, and asked, "Where can we start teaching?"

Jing Yulan glanced at him and couldn't guess whether he was intentional or unintentional.

Speaking of which, Yang Rui is only 18 years old. Although she is so handsome, she is still a boy with no hair. Jing Yulan is 26 years old and has been working for four or five years. Of course, she thinks that Yang Rui is still young. With her personality, she will not make any intense moves. She just sideways slightly and adjusts the sitting postures of the two as much as possible so that they won’t touch each other.

This also depends on the face. If you change to other ordinary handsome boys, the safety distance required by women will increase instead of reducing, not to mention the ugly ones, the safety distance is infinite. Only when you are handsome enough can the safety distance be reduced. If you are still unfamiliar, allow him to get closer.

On the other hand, Yang Rui and Jing Yulan cannot be said to be completely strangers.

Jing Yulan expressed her mood in English. Whether Yang Rui understood or didn’t understand, she felt familiar with Yang Rui instinctively.

If it weren't for this, Jing Yulan would have to get up and drive away the people as close as Yang Rui. In the past few days, the men who came to her had also experienced the bottom line set by Jing Yulan.

Subconsciously, Jing Yulan's bottom line has been shortened.

"Let's start with grammar. I think your clauses are not very proficient..." Jing Yulan was wholeheartedly committed to doing her job as a tutor. The work that Yang Rui's grandfather helped her brother solve was extremely important to Jing Yulan at this time, because her brother was at the age of finding a partner to get married, and she didn't want to be delayed, and her brother was also delayed.

For people in the 1980s, work was extremely important. Only with a job could you have income, only with a job could you have tickets, only with a job could you have a house, and only with a job could you marry a wife... If a city person does not have a job, even a household with tens of thousands of yuan would not be able to buy a house or a wife, the experiences of many self-employed people are proof of this.

Yang Rui suddenly trembled when he got to "grammar". It was too hard to learn this thing. He hurriedly said, "Teacher Jing, have you learned English in a foreign country? How do you teach English locally? Did you also start learning grammar?"

Jing Yulan shook her head and said, "It is different from abroad. When I am abroad, I first learn to speak, then memorize words, and then learn grammar, just like students abroad. However, you don't have such conditions now and are facing the college entrance examination. Learning grammar first is the most correct one. First, there are many grammar questions in the exam, and secondly, I first learn grammar, so that I can understand the English system faster and speed up my learning progress."

"People who have learned grammar don't even want to learn English, so why should they speed up their learning progress?" Yang Rui complained immediately. He hated grammar when he was studying, and suffered a lot during the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination. Speaking of which, this is also one of the disadvantages of exam-oriented education. In order to take shortcuts, it is difficult to have a persistent study outline and training plan.

However, if you don’t have the pure quality of taking exams and are unwilling to learn, you might as well stop learning. You will have any learning outlines and training plans.

Jing Yulan understood quite well and thought for a while and said, "Your English level is OK. We don't have to start over. We just need to study clauses and some advanced tense. We can complete it in about one class. At that time, your English scores will definitely improve. For the rest of the time, we will do some more relaxed things."

"Do something easy?" Yang Rui thought wrongly, shook his head, and said, "My goal is not to take exam English. My college entrance examination scores are enough to apply for an ideal university. Now I study English for the sake of using it."

Jing Yulan didn't understand and said, "If it weren't for the exam, why did you choose to study now? Wouldn't it be better to do it after the college entrance examination? It's not a few months."

The time before the college entrance examination is worthless. For example, the students of the Ruixue Group, even if there are teachers visiting around them, they will study hard without raising their heads.

After so many years of training, the whole society's emphasis on the college entrance examination has increased to a considerable stage. It should be said that the enthusiasm of the college entrance examination and the national diploma enthusiasm are complementary. When college students who enter the unit at the same time become Rocket cadres, and junior college and middle school students have to waste several years of time happening around, people's ideas will naturally change.

Jing Yulan also said carefully out of responsibility for Yang Rui: "Your grades are indeed very good now, but in the next few months, your grades will change very greatly. I don't know which university you are ideal, but as far as I know, if you want to enter famous institutions such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, your province ranking must be within 300. You may have to be in the top 50 in the University of Science and Technology of China. If you get two questions wrong in the exam, these schools will miss it. You can't relax now."

This is true for ordinary students.

In fact, Jing Yulan has already talked about it.

In the just-in-one 1982 college entrance examination, Peking University and Tsinghua University had less than 100 enrollment places in Hedong Province. Including the University of Science and Technology of China, which has always been very small, and the People's Congress, which mainly focuses on liberal arts, the number of students enrolled in science in the four prestigious schools is only 150. According to the standard of dividing liberal arts and sciences, if you want to enter the four prestigious schools, the ranking of the province must be within 100 to be insured.

However, the current college entrance examination registration is not given, so you can register first. There will be errors in the scores and errors in their respective rankings. On the other hand, some students always have unique goals. For example, Harbin Institute of Technology was very popular before 2000 and was able to compete with the four prestigious universities, but after 20 or 30 years, even the Second Group was forced.

Such schools will also divert some high-scoring candidates.

But no matter how you calculate it, students ranked 200 in the province must rely on their estimation and accurate application to enter the four prestigious schools, and the hope of ranking 300 is very slim.

From the national perspective, the four prestigious schools have recruited less than 10,000 people. On average, they are 150 people in each liberal arts and science subjects, which is already above the national average.

Yang Rui silently put on his chin, and it was somewhat difficult to explain his confidence.

"Let's start with the attribution clause. This is a crucial clause in English. It is also used very frequently and must be mastered..." Jing Yulan thought she had convinced Yang Rui, so she took out a notebook from her small bag and spread it out to prepare for the lecture.

Yang Rui smiled bitterly: "Teacher Jing, my goal is not to be a professional English talent."

"If you want to learn English well, clauses are essential, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a professional English student."

"My requirement for English is to be able to communicate normally with people in English-speaking countries. In addition to making the sentence structure complex and beautiful, clauses do not affect communication in themselves, right?" Yang Rui argued.

Jing Yulan corrected Yang Rui's fallacy without hesitation: "You can not say clauses, but what should you do if you don't understand when others say clauses? If you ask the other party to use simple sentences to describe again, this is not a normal communication, right?"

Yang Rui had to take out the Jelikan as a shield: "Teacher Jing, let me say that, the Jelikan company in the UK has a cooperative relationship with me. They think the paper I wrote is good, so they invested in the construction of the current WestJet Pharmaceutical Factory. Now, the WestJet Pharmaceutical Factory is gradually getting on track. I also hope that my English level will be better and that I can communicate directly with the people of the Jelikan company, rather than using translation from time to time or guessing each other... I think that the grammar is enough, and the key is that both parties can understand each other."

"You can understand each other, and this requirement can be high or low. I used multiple clauses to speak before. Do you understand?"

Yang Rui must answer: "I don't understand."

"Then do you still know what I said?"

Yang Rui looked up at Jing Yulan, what was going on? The quiet goddess has settled the old account? Put it in a romance film, and it is a rhythm that is completely trapped in the net.

Jing Yulan seemed to think what was wrong, so she turned her head and said, "So, it is not that easy to understand each other's requirements. If you only require daily conversations and recite hundreds of example sentences, you can do it after a period of practice. But if you want to communicate freely with the British without having to accommodate you, it will probably take one or two years. The most difficult thing is of course to let the British speak like you are a native. Many Indians have to do this from elementary English to college."

"I can actually do the first type, so we aim to do the middle type, but I still don't want to learn grammar specifically. How about we talk while talking about grammar?"

Jing Yulan hesitated a little and said, "Start with grammar first, and the efficiency is higher."

"We don't have to be so efficient. I'm not that busy lately." The tour group was at Xibao Middle School. If they didn't leave, Yang Rui couldn't drill the laboratory unscrupulously. In addition, his experiment progress some time ago was fast, and Yao Yue and other experimental assistants were slow. So they would not affect the overall progress.

Yang Rui regarded learning English as a relaxing thing, so he agreed to the tutor his grandfather found. If he insisted on learning, he would put the cart before the horse.

Human energy is always limited, and he is still quite far away from attending international conferences or something.

The academic circle also talks about qualifications.

Jing Yulan hesitated for a moment and did not persuade her. Instead, she said in English: "The college entrance examination is about to be held, why are you not busy?"

"This is the beginning?" Yang Rui smiled and replied casually: "My first round of review has ended. Now it is the stage of consolidating the grades, which is a combination of work and rest."

"You can't relax. I heard from your grandfather that when you were in the pre-examination, you had full marks in the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry. It was indeed very good. However, it would be difficult to get full marks in the next exam, so you still have to review it."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I will definitely get full marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry next time I take the exam."

"So confident?" Jing Yulan clearly didn't believe it. She also studied all the way to college. Compared to English, the difficulty of mathematics, physics and chemistry impressed her even more.

Yang Rui couldn't help but curl his lips and simply changed to Chinese, saying, "So, I got 120 points in math this time, not because I can only get 120 points, but because the math paper only has 120 points."

Jing Yulan was stunned and felt the aura of a top student hit her face. When she looked closely, Yang Rui was only twenty or thirty centimeters away from him at some point, and his breathing touched his face.
