Chapter 17 Ask for a monthly pass for the first class)(1/2)
First night at Peking University.
There was English class the next day, and Shen Guanglin got up early.
I woke up early not because I had to go to class, but because I slept for too long. I started sleeping at 8pm and woke up before 5am.
I had just arrived at Beijing University and was not familiar with the place. I didn't buy any meal tickets in advance, so naturally I couldn't go to the cafeteria for breakfast, but Shen Guanglin had another way.
He didn't eat much of the piece of beef yesterday, mainly because it had no salt and no taste, so it didn't taste good.
This morning, Shen Guanglin took out the piece of beef and went to the neighbor's house next door to have breakfast.
Brother Zhao has already said that Xiao Shen is really an open-minded person!
Afraid of embarrassment, he deliberately cooked the beef before bringing it over.
Cut the beef into slices, sprinkle some salt on it and eat it. The fat and lean meat are alternated, it tastes so good!
This piece of beef must have weighed more than a pound or two. Xiao Shen only ate a few slices. Instead, he drank two large bowls of polenta porridge.
…
On the first day of work, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the feeling of being a glorious worker. Although no one checked the post, Teacher Shen was very active and arrived at the office early to wait.
Shen Guanglin was the only one in Nuo University's office.
Looking at the class schedule for the first-year students in the Department of Physics, today’s classes are the same as before. English is still in the third and fourth periods in the morning, in classroom 302.
Prepare your lessons, little Saonian.
It turns out that the English textbooks of this era were not too backward, and the text selections were easy-to-understand and full of romance of the times.
This is also very interesting, no worse than Li Lei and Han Meimei.
While Shen Guanglin was intoxicated with reading, the middle-aged female teacher he had met before came in. Shen Guanglin quickly stood up and said hello: "Hello, Teacher Liu!"
Teacher Liu looked at Shen Guanglin and felt familiar, "You, who are you? I've seen you before, right?"
There's no reason why I haven't seen such a handsome young man before. There are so many students that I forgot his name.
"Yes, Teacher Liu, we have met, I am Xiao Shen, Shen Guanglin. I also attended your class not long ago."
"Oh, I remember you! You did go to my class a few days ago. Why are you here? What is this?" Teacher Liu really remembered this person. This young man is very easy to learn. Yes, she also uses him Setting an example inspired the students in the class.
"I am the new teaching assistant, my surname is Shen, Shen Guanglin. The college has assigned me to be an English teacher for a period of time, but I don't know if I have told you yet." Shen Guanglin was a little timid, after all, this was a robbery. I don’t know if teachers in this era have class fees, otherwise they would be taking people’s money.
"You are the new English lecturer! Your college has indeed said that you will take the English classes for freshmen from now on. I will only teach the courses for sophomores and juniors from now on. That's fine, it will be easy. But, young man , you are so unkind! I thought you were an English beginner, but I didn’t expect you were hiding your bad intentions. I heard that you returned from studying abroad. Is this true?"
Teacher Liu really didn't mean to blame, because Shen Guanglin didn't say that he was a beginner that day, and he just made a misunderstanding.
Shen Guanglin said a few words of symbolic humility, and then had a conversation with Teacher Liu in pure English. It was a discussion. It turns out that both sides are of good quality!
Teacher Liu is a direct disciple of a foreign teacher, so his English is naturally excellent.
Shen Guanglin has been abroad for so many years that speaking in English has become a conditioned reflex, and he doesn't even need to translate it into Chinese in his mind.
However, Teacher Liu is better at translating between Chinese and English, but Shen Guanglin is not so good.
His Chinese-English translation is okay, but he speaks a lot of English and often doesn't know what to say when translated into Chinese.
Teacher Liu also made a judgment: Shen Guanglin's pronunciation, sentences, and speaking speed are all good, and he should be more than enough to be an English teacher. In terms of language fluency, he is better.
In fact, teachers at the School of Foreign Languages also have a drawback in teaching English, that is, they are not very proficient in professional English. In particular, they do not understand some professional vocabulary and terminology in this kind of physics, so they can only teach some daily conversations.
Shen Guanglin is different. He has a disciplinary background, which is why the physics professor Yang is willing to recommend him. Besides teaching, he can be a tool who can translate.
It’s still early before the third and fourth periods of class, and inevitably, Teacher Liu will ask about interesting anecdotes about Shen Guanglin’s time studying abroad.
People who learn foreign languages are always more enthusiastic and unrestrained. In other words, they like to gossip.
Shen Guanglin didn't have any interesting anecdotes. He could only tell some stories and jokes he had heard from hearsay, but they still made Teacher Liu laugh.
This is what makes foreign language teachers so good: they can make jokes and catch jokes.
Among them, Shen Guanglin mentioned that when he was in college, he played a translation game with his Asian classmates, sometimes translating from Chinese to English, and sometimes from English to Chinese.
There is a very interesting international student named Xiaoying. He did not study well, his papers were all fake, and he was not good at translating. He accidentally translated "A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated" into: "You can kill me, but you cannot fuck me!”
Teacher Liu really laughed after hearing this.
She was not angry at all because of the color in the joke, and even thought about taking the joke back and telling it to her colleagues.
"Is there any other joke like this? Let me tell you another one."
Shen Guanglin wanted to say no, because it didn't fit his aloof persona, but he couldn't let it go, so he was going to tell a joke about Titanic, even though the movie hadn't been released yet.
"There is a love story abroad about the love between a poor boy and a rich princess on a boat. The poor boy is called Jack and the rich princess is called Lucy.
Foreigners usually treat love more openly. Once, Jack and Lucy were making out, and Lucy was deeply in love and said, "Jack, slow down." Of course, she said this in English. Her words The original words were: 'Jack, slow fuck!', but my classmate Wanwan made another amazing translation, and he directly translated this sentence into the name of a country: 'Czechoslovakia'."
Czechoslovakia!
"Hahahahahaha"
Teacher Liu smiled and bent over, "No, no, no, I have to tell my colleagues."
...
Teacher Liu originally wanted to see how the new English teacher was, but she didn't expect that Shen Guanglin's ability to tell English jokes was so strong.
It seems that there is no problem anymore. Teacher Liu has returned to the English Department and Xiao Shen can freely express himself in class.
After Teacher Liu left, Shen Guanglin went directly to the classroom. He needed to familiarize himself with the teaching venue first.
At this time, the first and second periods of the Physics Department had not yet ended, and there was no one else in classroom 302 except the students who were going to attend class.
In this era, because English is difficult to learn, many students from other colleges will come to take classes. Of course, students from the physics department will also go to other colleges to take classes.
Seeing Shen Guanglin come in wearing a military coat, everyone regarded him as a new classmate who came to class and didn't take it seriously.
The 1980s was an era that valued talent, and being handsome was not that popular.
Looking handsome is not as good as dressing handsome.
Shen Guanglin first placed the English textbook and the military green aluminum alloy flat kettle on the podium, then sat alone in the seat where he last chatted with Li Li and began to wait for class.
The bell finally rang for the first and second period.
Only about three or two minutes later, the students entered the classroom one after another, and Li Li was surrounded by them.
"Brother Guanglin!"
Of course everyone saw Shen Guanglin sitting in Li Li's "exclusive" seat. Most people didn't know him, but they knew this seat.
"Brother Guanglin, why are you here again?"
Li Li's words were like igniting a powder keg. Many people finally remembered, how dare this shameless person come?
If this wasn't a classroom, his classmates would definitely beat him up. He was the first person to say that eating soft rice was so fresh and refined.
"Classmate Li Li, I know your English is not good, so I came here to give you extra lessons." Shen Guanglin said seriously.
Is this what people say?
Li Li is the English class representative, and she also gives tutoring lessons for others. Who are you?
"Brother Guanglin, don't you want to go to work? I heard from my sister that you have already found a job."
Li Li knew that Shen Guanglin had found a new job, but she didn't know that his job was to teach her how to read.
"It's my job to study with you!"
What are these words? Li Li is shy.
"This guy is really good at talking, I really want to beat him!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"Go together, go together!"
Shen Guanglin sat with Li Li for a long time, and he couldn't bear to leave until the school bell rang.
Teacher Liu, who teaches English, didn't come?
However, students in this era are still relatively disciplined. As the class monitor shouted silence, everyone stopped making noises, including those students who were reading aloud.
The classroom suddenly became quiet. Where was the teacher?
Shen Guanglin is too embarrassed to talk nonsense anymore, it’s time to show his real skills!
Shen Guanglin cleared his throat and walked slowly onto the podium, ready to start his first class.
who is he?
What is he going to do?
The students looked at the podium in surprise, but Shen Guanglin stood on the podium, moving slowly and leisurely. He opened the kettle and took a sip of water, brewing his feelings for a while, and then felt that he was fully prepared.
"Hello, classmates, from today on, I will be your English teacher."
Buzz…
There was a stir in class.
To be continued...
