Chapter 35 Applause
As the world's number one common language, English has been continuously spread and used around the world, and various branches of similar dialects have been derived, among which the most widely circulated are American English, British English and Australian English.
If you take universality as the starting point, the American pronunciation of the KK phonetic symbol is the best choice for domestic English teachers. First, because most of the listening parts of the domestic English exams use American pronunciation, and second, because American pronunciation is relatively clear and easy to understand.
If you start with pretending to be B, British pronunciation is obviously a better choice.
How charming is authentic British pronunciation? For example, the British survey website eHarmony.co.uk has conducted surveys in different countries and regions. The survey results show that more than 22% of English speakers have gone on dates just because of the moving English pronunciation standards of netizens. Another 7% of people have been working hard to practice their British pronunciation because they believe that standard English pronunciation will make them more attractive.
As we all know, French and Italian are famous for their romance, but in the knowledge of English users - including French English users - standard English is the language that can truly express love. Later, there are Edinburgh accents, Australian pronunciations, Southern Irish accents, Yorkshire accents...
It can be seen from this that the standard English voice is the best weapon for girls with corner-mounted b-pin girls, no doubt about it.
Due to the objective reasons for educational input (the main reason is the origin of a foreign teacher), most people in China regard Estuary English (Estuary.English), or the London pronunciation, as the standard English pronunciation, but in fact, those who use Horoscope English are often people with relatively low social classes in the UK, while gentlemen and ladies who belong to the upper class all choose the noble and elegant Oxford Queen sound.
Of course, the times are changing, and the Queen's English is also changing. Since 1977, the vowel pronunciation of ******* in Christmas speeches has changed slightly, and the decade has changed even more. By 2005, the Queen's original clear aristocratic pronunciation had disappeared and turned into a London sound that the public would like to accept.
In this regard, Jonathan Harrington, a linguist at the University of Munich, believes that the Queen did not imitate British Prime Minister Tony Blair to deliberately adjust her pronunciation to cater to ordinary people, but was influenced by the push of social forces, and accidentally followed the trend and gradually changed her pronunciation.
Regardless of the reason, in short, the standard English that belongs to the royal family and the nobles is gradually disappearing.
Fortunately, English has fanatical lovers all over the world, so Standard English voice has not cut off its inheritance, and Yao Yi is one of the successors - the English tutor he hired for his father and was once a ritual tutor for the hereditary British aristocrats.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the tricks. Other interviewers can only listen to the excitement and do not feel the charm of the noble queen voice at all. Instead, they feel that Yao Yi’s pronunciation is strange and “unstandard”.
Boy.Thomas, who was sitting on Yao Yi's right, was just surprised by Yao Yi's fluency in English. He did not realize that his unstandard American pronunciation was like a country boy covered in mud hitting the luxurious carriage of a century noble, and was crushed to death.
There were only two native.speaker (native speakers) present to hear the mystery.
May, who was sitting next to Li Zhihua, whispered a few words to Li Zhihua's ears. Li Zhihua's eyebrows trembled, and when he looked at Yao Yi again, his eyes completely changed.
The male foreign teacher Sebastien's expression was more direct. He whistled on the spot, blinked at Yao Yi, and smiled and said, "Your.accent.is.amazingly.charming,wow,classic."
Seeing a handsome guy discharge electricity at him, Yao Yi got goose bumps. Then she remembered that the United Kingdom is known as a corrupt country. Speaking a classic and standard English voice is not only extremely lethal to girls, but also very popular in homosexual dating clubs.
"Cheers." Yao Yi thanked Sebastien, then corrected Boy's translation, and then said in standard English, "Since our topic is interview, I want to talk about my views on this job. Although I have no teaching experience, I have rich marketing experience. In my opinion, selling goods and teaching questions have similarities."
Hearing this sentence, Sebastien hugged her chest with her hands, with great interest, while May frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Yao Yi's statement.
Yao Yi keenly captured May's expression change and noticed the hostility in May's eyes, but he was not worried.
Simply catering will not leave the best and most profound first impression on others. On the contrary, first throw out a disagreeable point of view, and then use reason to convince the other party, which will gain more respect and appreciation.
The helmsman of the Yao Group, the helmsman of the roadside can blow flowers out of a bunch of weeds, but are you afraid that you can't convince a foreign aunt?
After brewing for a moment, Yao Yi spoke again.
"Teachers are a sacred and great profession, and perhaps in many people, comparing salespeople with teachers is disrespect for teachers. But I think that in a sense, an excellent teacher is also an excellent salesperson because he or she wants to sell schools to parents and courses to students."
"Taking real estate sales and insurance sales as examples, many home buyers do not actually understand the housing market and insurance, they are neither clear about the necessity of investing in real estate and insurance, nor the convenience and benefits that policy changes may bring to them. The sales responsibility is to allow them to acquire this knowledge and choose the right products for them in ways that customers can understand."
"The same is true for teachers. When facing different students, teachers should let them obtain the knowledge they need in ways that students can understand. We all know that not all students love learning. Some students are disgusted with the boring learning process. Teachers should consider adding fun to the course. Some students are not suitable for rote memorization and cramming. Teachers should consider changing the teaching method. Some students are simply unable to overcome psychological barriers. Teachers should find another way and build confidence for them."
"In short, sales will adopt different sales strategies when facing different customers, and teachers will adopt different teaching ideas when facing different students. A salesperson who only knows how to talk clichés may starve himself to death and is almost impossible to harm customers. However, a teacher who only knows how to read the script may mislead people's children and delay students!"
"So I think teachers should have the mentality of a salesperson in order to truly do their job well and teach every student as well as possible."
After giving out the arguments and arguments in one go, Yao Yi bowed slightly and took her seat calmly.
The silence that could be heard by the falling needle lasted for about twenty seconds, and was then broken by May's applause.
I don’t know if I remembered some stories from my years of teaching experience, but when May applauded Yao Yi, tears flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhihua and Sebastien also began to applaud. Although the others were not sure about this, they saw the three interviewers applauding and slapped them without being left behind.
