The teachers who came to attend the class came in as quickly as possible and sat in the chairs at the back.
Seeing that all the chairs in the back were occupied, Tian Tian smiled and said, "Hello, everyone. I am your English teacher, Tian Tian. I don't know if you have ever been exposed to English in junior high school, but I believe you all know that universities are recruiting students majoring in English. I am a college student who just graduated from the English major." When Tian Tian said that she was a college student, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
At this time, college students are really very valuable. Basically, as long as you are admitted to college, it means that your ancestors are very successful. If you want, you can also write your name at the top of the family tree.
"I know that many students may not have learned English in junior high school. They have not been exposed to English and do not know what English is for. In fact, English is a tool for us, just like Chinese."
"Some students may ask, we are Chinese, why do we need to learn foreign languages? I have actually thought about this question. At that time, I thought that since I would never go abroad in my life, I don't need to learn foreign languages, right?"
"But if we learn this language, it will be of great benefit to us. I wonder if you are concerned about the recent situation in the country?"
"Recently, the country has had close exchanges with other foreign countries and is in urgent need of talents who can speak foreign languages. In the future, the country will need foreign language talents in the economic and political fields."
“If you master a foreign language, you will have many possibilities in the future. For example, many machines in our country are imported from foreign countries. If you know a foreign language, you will be able to understand the machine manuals and you will not need to rely on foreign technicians to repair the machines. You can use English if you want to learn mechanical manufacturing.” Tian Tian thought of Tian Yun, who took the initiative to learn Soviet language just to be able to understand Soviet manuals.
"For example, I am here as a teacher to teach you English today. You can also choose to become a teacher if you study a foreign language!"
"For example, the country now has a lot of economic exchanges with foreign countries. If you learn a foreign language, you can also go abroad to do business with others, or work as a translator. In any case, foreign languages have many career options at this time."
"If you are good at English, you will have one more choice than others when considering your major in the college entrance examination.
"Teacher, if we don't learn foreign languages, will we be unable to find a job?"
"Of course you can find a job. In fact, whether we learn English or not, we can still survive. But if you can master English fluently in the future, you will have more options."
"Maybe there will be a particularly good opportunity in front of you in the future, and this opportunity requires you to know English. You may be qualified and have the confidence to not choose it, but if you don't know English, you will miss this opportunity."
After Tian Tian finished speaking, she felt a little emotional. Now is really a good time, the future of learning English is really very bright, and talents who know English are needed in all walks of life.
At this time, the future of students majoring in English is bright.
The employment environment in my previous life was not as good as it is now. Although the overall employment environment is not as good as it is now, after all, jobs are guaranteed to be assigned now.
However, even though they are all students majoring in English, students from the previous life would definitely not be as popular as graduates from this life.
There are so many opportunities in this life. For people like Tian Tian, English may have just been developing at that time, so there are not many choices. People still prefer safer careers like teachers.
But for graduates in June this year, or those who graduate next year or the year after, there will be many more choices. At that time, the private economy will be booming, and there will definitely be many private economic enterprises that will recruit all kinds of translators. Of course, at that time, people still have some wrong views on private enterprises, and many students are not willing to get involved.
Some of these students go to good junior high schools and may have been exposed to English. Some go to junior high schools in rural areas and may not even have an English teacher in their school. Regardless of whether they are interested in English now, people at this age are more studious, especially those who can go to high school. Their learning attitude will definitely be more serious. Therefore, no matter what they think in their hearts or whether they are interested in English or not, their classmates listen very seriously.
Next, when Tian Tian played English listening music and asked them to read along, they all opened their mouths and imitated the reading.
This surprised Tian Tian very much. Not to mention others, she would feel shy if she was asked to read something in a group. For example, in her previous life, the class monitor led the whole class to take an oath, and at the end of the oath, she had to read her own name. She could obviously read it out loud, but Tian Tian would always mumble it in a low voice.
People nowadays don't feel embarrassed at all. When Tian Tian asks them to read English aloud, they really read it seriously and loudly, which makes Tian Tian feel very gratified.
In her previous life, her teacher told her that one must speak to learn English. At that time, she didn’t know what it meant. She just thought that getting a high score on the written test would be enough. She was only studying for the college entrance examination.
Studying English in college is not only to practice one's sense of language, but also to deepen one's memory of English content, forcing Tian Tian to make English her second mother tongue. At this time, Tian Tian was thinking, how can you learn English well if you don't even dare to open your mouth?
After Tian Tian realized this, she finally dared to let go of herself and recited bravely.
From then on, Tian Tian got up early every morning, running on the playground while reciting English texts aloud.
After evening self-study, she would find a place in the playground where she could be alone and read the text aloud.
So Tian Tian made rapid progress in the second semester.
Later, when her classmates found out how she learned it, they all went to the playground together to read the text. This was once a strange sight in their school.
The students now did not take the same detour that Tian Tian took before. Instead, they were able to read aloud from the very beginning, which made Tian Tian feel very gratified.
As they had other content to learn, Tian Tian did not let them listen for too long. After ten minutes, she turned off the radio and started to learn the phonetic symbols again.
Although many students have learned English in junior high school, there is no systematic method to learn English at that time. After all, the college entrance examination has only been resumed for a few years.
So they find it quite curious when they see the phonetic symbols one by one, and these phonetic symbols are very similar to Chinese pinyin, which can easily arouse their interest.
After they recognized the phonetic symbols, Tiantian selected a few words that they often heard in the listening comprehension and explained them to them using the phonetic symbols individually.
At this time, Tian Tian had already forgotten that there were rows of teachers sitting behind her. She could only hear the students' shouts of sudden enlightenment, and her heart gradually became happy.
The students kept saying, "So that's how it is!"
“I can really pronounce this word.”
Tian Tian always has a huge sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in her heart.
Now she finally understood why so many people really regard teaching as a lifelong career. The pleasure that comes from teaching students a question or a knowledge point can really make you addicted.
Tian Tian's previous mentality was that being a teacher was just a job, and she didn't want to invest too much emotion in her students. She just wanted to complete her work and earn money to support her family.
She doesn't have that much dedication, she's just an ordinary person.
But now when I really stand here, the students' eyes are eager for knowledge, their hands never stop taking notes in class, and their always focused looks, which really make you reluctant to treat them with a perfunctory attitude. They will make you want to give them everything you have.
At this moment, Tian Tian also wanted to be a good teacher. Maybe she could do it. The students were hardworking and eager to learn, and she didn't want to let them down.
If she can really help her students take a step forward, even if it is just a small step, even if it only changes the fate and life of one student, it will be worth it for Tian Tian.
The class was over quickly, and when the bell rang, Tian Tian finally came to terms with the excitement and sense of responsibility she was feeling. It was only then that she noticed the teachers sitting behind her, and she suddenly felt a little nervous.
She also didn’t know how her performance was, and whether the teachers and the principal would be satisfied.
After packing up her things, Tian Tian went out again holding the radio and saw the principal, the dean of studies, and several more experienced teachers in their school, all standing at the back door.
Tian Tian nervously went over to say hello, and saw the principal patting Tian Tian on the shoulder with a smile, "Comrade Tian Tian, you did a great job in today's class. Our school needs a responsible and energetic teacher like you. I am very much looking forward to your future classes."
Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the principal must be very satisfied with her performance today.
