Chapter 171 Difficulties
After the Lantern Festival, the Chinese New Year is officially over.
Meng Shulan returned to school. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, school started and students from lower grades also began to return to school.
This school year was not peaceful because of the English score issue.
The school has also made a lot of adjustments, such as finding ways to recruit teachers, formally scheduling English classes, and carrying out mobilization activities, hoping to arouse everyone's interest in learning English.
It seems that even school teachers have realized that the subject of English will become more and more important. The small score it accounts for now is just the beginning. It is a transitional period given above. Sooner or later, this subject will be as important as Chinese and mathematics.
In order to cope with the reform, new English textbooks were used this time.
As soon as the new books were distributed, everyone sighed because the content had become more difficult.
Previously, because of Meng Shulan's notes, everyone had some confidence in English. As long as they remembered the contents of the notes, no more than that, they should have no problem getting the passing score.
But now…
The head teacher was also flipping through a new book, but judging from the way he looked, he probably couldn't understand it.
However, if there are difficulties, we must overcome them. There is no reason to give up.
"Students, don't give up. This year's pre-exam also has an English paper. There are still more than two months left, so try your best to get as much as you can. You have studied so hard for so long, so you must do your best and submit the most satisfactory answer sheet."
It's the same words again, everyone's ears are tired of them.
Now that we have come to the repeat class, who doesn’t want to get good grades and fight hard in the college entrance examination?
But when it comes to English, there isn’t even a professional teacher in the school. Now new books have been published and the content has become more difficult. Not only can they not understand it, the teachers are also confused. How can they learn this?
You can complain, but there's nothing you can do about it; this is the condition in this town.
Before class started, the head teacher repeatedly assured that the school would find good teachers for everyone. Before that, everyone should study hard with the existing teachers and memorize the knowledge they had learned previously.
For now, this is the only way.
Meng Shulan also took a look at the newly distributed textbooks.
It is difficult. Although this happened in my previous life and it was taught in the new textbooks at school, because I didn't find a good teacher, some important grammar and usage were not mentioned at all. The school only taught the words.
After being reborn, because the new textbook had not yet been released, Meng Shulan did not have a textbook, and she had been learning English according to the old textbook before.
Later, Gu Hansong gave her some notes and books.
The notes correspond to the previous high school textbook, which is the one she had shared with everyone earlier.
The books are just a few English novels and two English magazines.
Without the help of a teacher and an English-Chinese dictionary, Meng Shulan could not fully understand pure English novels and magazines.
Therefore, even though everyone has praised her as a top student recently, her real level is only at the basic level, and she cannot understand anything more in-depth.
In fact, if she had time, Meng Shulan could learn slowly.
There were notes on every page of the novels and magazines that Gu Hansong gave her. Without a teacher, the progress might be slow, but she could learn.
But the college entrance examination is approaching, and she doesn't have so much time to figure this out.
I don’t know how Gu Hansong studied over the years, but he was able to reach the level of translation by self-study.
Sure enough, geniuses and ordinary people are not on the same level.
As Meng Shulan was thinking, her deskmate stretched his neck and asked, "How is it? Can you understand it?"
There was a gleam of hope in my deskmate's eyes.
Honestly speaking, it would be better to ask Meng Shulan than to rely on the school to find a solution.
The English score counting policy has just been implemented, and not only are they short of teachers here, but they are short of teachers everywhere.
If there were any resources, they would have been snatched up in the city, and there would be no chance for a rural place like them to have them.
It’s a pity that Meng Shulan can’t help this time.
She shook her head and said, "The first ones are fine, they are linked to the previous volume, but I don't know what's next."
"ah……"
My deskmate sighed and lay on the table without moving.
Meng Shulan was also helpless. Before Gu Hansong left, he was still talking to her about the English major.
At first, Meng Shulan didn’t think about it this way. The pre-exam results had not yet come out. Generally, people would not consider the school and major to apply for so early.
But this time, after understanding his intention, Meng Shulan was actually a little moved.
In her previous life, she chose a liberal arts major and became a Chinese teacher. If she chose the same direction in this life, she had absolute confidence that she could enter university.
But what happens after entering university?
Do I have to go back to the same old path as in my previous life?
Since it is a brand new life, Meng Shulan also wants to change. In fact, she is ready to ask her teacher what to do to switch to a foreign language major and whether she can transfer to another school.
Yes, they don’t even have a decent English teacher here, and they don’t have the conditions to train her. If I choose this path, I may need the school to introduce her to a school in the city.
But now…
Meng Shulan looked at the new book in her hand and suddenly felt uncertain again.
Although she didn't want to follow the same old path in her previous life, she also didn't want to repeat her studies.
If Gu Hansong were still here, I could discuss this with him, but he is out.
Forget it, let’s wait and see.
Meng Shulan put the matter of changing direction on hold for the time being.
On Wednesday, Meng Changli came to see her sister at noon and told her about signing a contract with the town.
The cooperation has been reached and the relevant documents have been signed. The current issue is funding.
Meng Changli showed her sister the bill. The amount she applied for the first batch of payments was 50,000 yuan.
"Shulan, what do you think? Is it too exaggerated for me to list these things?"
Factories, offices, and staff dormitories are all planned in.
If I don't buy a car, the amount can be less, but for future development, there is no other way.
Meng Changli's hands were shaking when she said this. Although this is the only way to develop, she would be afraid if she was suddenly burdened with huge debts, no matter how strong she was.
Meng Shulan nodded, "Sister, it's okay, just keep going at the current pace. Don't worry, you can do it."
Seeing her sister smiling easily, Meng Changli took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
The preliminary exam was approaching and Meng Shulan was unable to go back to help, so she had to leave all the store affairs to her sister.
But she believed that her sister could do it. Her growth was amazing. If she hadn't been reborn and taken this path, she would never have imagined that her sister had such ability.
For the next nearly half month, Meng Shulan stayed in school and did not go home. He Jinqiu packed her clothes and rice and sent them to school.
The preliminary exam is only two months away, and no one wants to waste time even at home, and all their attention is buried in books.
By now, I have finished all the classes I can take except English, and the course schedule is mainly based on exams and reviews.
Learning English is the same as in the previous life. The school couldn’t find a good teacher, so the original teacher taught us first and then taught us.
Half a month after school started, Meng Shulan received a package from afar at school.
