Chapter 147: Introduction to Experience
The outstanding performance of the English grades of Class 3 of Senior 3 attracted the attention of the teacher. She found that the student with the most outstanding performance change was Zhang Tiancai.
Therefore, the teacher specially selected a class as a class meeting and asked Zhang Tiancai to introduce his own learning methods and share them with everyone to help everyone improve together.
Zhang Tiancai changed his lazy style of the past. He stood on the podium and spoke eloquently, talking about his learning methods and sharing with everyone how to memorize words more quickly and firmly.
The students listened very carefully. After all, the college entrance examination would be held in half a year. Thousands of people were competing for a single-plank bridge. If they could squeeze through, they would have a bright future. If they couldn't, they would have to review for another year.
Everyone wants to get into college at one go, to be proud of themselves and to make their family happy too.
"You can't memorize words by rote. If you spend more time, you will find that there are methods to memorize them. We can memorize words based on pronunciation. For example, there are clues to the sound of two letters combined. In addition, listening and conversation should be taken seriously..."
Zhang Tiancai taught his classmates all the English methods he learned from Su Hanyan. He was a very open person and never concealed anything he knew.
Through his explanation, the students felt like they had opened the door to a new world. They felt that Zhang Tiancai’s English learning method seemed to be better and more powerful than their current rote memorization.
Even English teachers say that some of his methods are rarely heard of, and some of the content is even subversive.
Of course, the four words "listening, speaking, reading and writing" are something you cannot lose sight of wherever you go.
"Zhang Tiancai, where did you learn all this knowledge?" the teacher asked.
"My tutor told me that." Zhang Tiancai was quite proud when talking about Su Hanyan. "Her English accent is very good, it's authentic London English. But sometimes she also has a different accent, she said it's American English."
"Yes." Liu Lu also interrupted from the audience, "We all went to her for extra lessons during the holidays. We learned according to this method. We all made progress, right?"
Students who attended the cram school responded positively and said they had made great progress.
In the early 1980s, there were not many excellent English teachers, and many methods of learning English were limited to rote memorization.
Su Hanyan is a person who has received new-age English training, studied English hard, passed the IELTS, and studied abroad, so she has been exposed to a lot of things and can use them with ease.
Many students are able to accept her teaching methods, and once they have the interest and methods to learn, improvement in their grades is just around the corner.
"You all performed very well during this holiday. Zhang Tiancai hopes that you can continue to share your methods and experiences in learning English with us in the future to help the students make progress together!" The teacher ended the conversation, opened the book and said, "Now let's start the class."
During breaks, many students came to Zhang Tiancai to ask him about his tutoring situation. Many of them expressed their hope to learn English from his tutor. Even students from other classes crowded into this class to inquire about the situation.
"Genius, we all want to learn English from your teacher. Can you help us ask her if she has time?"
Zhang Tiancai pondered and said, "She just finished her winter vacation cram school. I don't know if she will continue to do so."
