Chapter 47 New Concept English
In the next few days, Yang Rui attended classes as usual, and the Ruixue Secret Book was also sold as usual. The principal continued to linger between the county and the region and stamped the seal. The atmosphere on the school was a little calm, but the reputation of the Ruixue Group reached its peak. Not only students who returned to the class and graduate class, but also students of other ages applied to join the Ruixue Group.
According to Yang Rui's requirements, you have to write the application for joining the Ruixue Group. So the snow-filled applications immediately filled the tables, and many people actively participated in the burning and printing of the Ruixue Group's secret scrolls.
The application forms are thick and thin, with more than twenty pages for the most, and less than two or three pages for the few. Some of them can be found out at a glance that they were modified by the application for joining the party, while others were written very carefully.
It is not that easy for a carp to jump over the dragon gate. The factory-run middle school of Xibao Meat Connection Factory is nearly 100 people every year, and none of them get into college. Xibao Middle School is almost the best township middle school in the local area, and only a few people get into college in a year... However, the difficulty is not an obstacle to jumping over the dragon gate. As long as you think about the life of jumping over the dragon gate, students who are interested will be willing to give everything to get a little chance.
This is the only shortcut to travel from one world to another.
Yang Rui couldn't finish so many applications by himself. After persisting for a day, he brought Huang Ren and Liu Shan into the review team.
Because of Yang Rui's performance, especially his behavior of "Teacher Thanks for", Liu Shan's impression of him greatly improved. In addition, he was serious and accepted the review task, she actually did the review work in an orderly manner. Not only did she pass, but she suspended and failed, but she also wrote comments for each application and then established a separate file for the student.
If writing a comment is serious, building a file means making a lot of money.
When Liu Shan came to him, she was worried that Yang Rui would not agree, so she said in a persuasive tone: "There are not many people in our school, and there are only about 200 people who need to do files. They will not submit an application for joining the group once, and they always have to continue submitting it. They don't think it's better to make a file if they are three or four times. I thought about it. I didn't have to really buy a file bag or something. I just used a folder to make a paper file for each student and put it in it. Every time he applied, whether it passed or not, we can mark it in it. In this way, when the next person reviewed, he would know what was going on, and he didn't have to save the application for joining the group every time, which would make the application process fairer..."
"I agree." Yang Rui looked at Liu Shan's seriousness and felt ashamed of himself.
Liu Shan was quite surprised and said, "Did you really agree?"
"Why don't you agree?" Yang Rui asked back. The files established by Liu Shan gave him inspiration and then had a series of associations. Students can graduate, but files can be recorded forever. With the increase in members of the Ruixue Group, Yang Rui's way of relying solely on memory is obviously not feasible.
But if we establish a file for everyone, even if they go their separate ways after graduation, Yang Rui can still recall the relationship between the two parties and re-establish contact through them.
Liu Shan naturally couldn't think so deeply, but her thinking loop turned to another direction and asked: "You can't agree because of me, right?"
Her eyes are not big, but she is very agile. When she looks at people, she looks like a whirlpool in a lake.
Yang Rui was about to explain, but when he reached his mouth, he smiled and said, "Because nothing is OK, your idea is pretty good. Moreover, we cannot just build files for students applying for joining the group, but we must build files for all members of the Ruixue Group. This way, don't buy file bags first, so that people will think we are going to do something, get some paper clips, or staplers, prepare three pages of paper for each student, fill in the corresponding information, add some family information, and then study situations, some of our main activities, etc., which are more detailed than normal files. After all, there are only so many of us..."
Liu Shan was still a little shy, but after Yang Rui said so much in one breath, he couldn't help but say: "I can't finish it by building files for hundreds of people."
"Then add another person to you."
"It's still not enough. It's better to have 4 people. You have to send someone to buy things alone." Liu Shan calculated with her fingers, how long it will take to collect information, how long it will take to write information, how long it will take to verify and classify it...
After hearing what she said seriously, Yang Rui also became serious and thought about it, "Just count as four, I will ask Huang Ren to arrange subsidies."
“Grant?”
"It is the same as the subsidy for students who engrave the papers, one cent per hour. You can give you up to 5 days. If it cannot be completed after the expiration, the subsidy will be stopped." Ruixue Group is becoming more regular, and when calculating working hours, it has also been reduced to up to 8 hours a day. This is to correspond to the country's legal working hours. Nowadays, it is not important to pay more overtime. In fact, no matter how much you pay for overtime, it is easy to be extended to exploitation, because the purpose of overtime institutions is to make money. Since you have made money, no matter how much you allocate to workers, it will generate profits, that is, surplus value.
In the early 1980s, it was unclear whether it was surplus value or profit. Yang Rui neither cared about this issue nor wanted to be the target in the debate. He had a long-term future, so why bother taking such policy risks? The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and accidentally stepped into the abyss, and then he would be doomed. This is a completely different risk from 100 points in the exam.
In the simplest case, an old party member can’t stand you, and if you report it with a real name, all previous efforts may be scrapped.
The petitions in these days are not prepared for the masses. The truly powerful petitions belong to officials and party members. They make far more petitions every year than ordinary people. Many senior cadres start with a petition from their colleagues. Yang Rui's small body is far from resisting such a weapon of killing.
Liu Shan was shocked, covered her mouth and said, "You want to send us four dollars?"
“The work deserves to be paid.”
"Do you really pay for the file?" Liu Shan suddenly became suspicious again.
"What do you think?" Yang Rui smiled and said without waiting for Liu Shan to react, "Okay, hurry up and find someone. As long as the members of the Ruixue Group who are fine and the other party agrees, they all count. You just hand over the list to Huang Ren and let him pay."
Liu Shanshen glanced at Yang Rui, said "Okay", and turned around and left.
Yang Rui smiled and continued to read at his desk.
These days, he has been writing "New Concept English".
There are currently new concepts in China, but not publications, but hand-written and mimeographed brochures.
The British Alexander launched this new concept English in 1967, which was once popular all over the world. It was only after two college entrance examinations in China that they began to look for suitable English textbooks in a crazily manner. Because "Learn with Me" played by CCTV was so popular, the new concept English written by the same author came into the eyes of the Chinese.
However, there is no formally published new concept English, which is still difficult to buy in 1982. People usually borrow it to copy it themselves, and some teachers in schools will mimeograph a batch and send it to their favorite students.
Even this fragmented scale has allowed new concept English to spread all over the country. In two years, publishers will ignore copyright and start printing on a large scale.
But before a publisher prints, it is not easy to find a complete set of new concept English. Many students only copy the parts they think are good, some give up after copying a few articles, some lose or make mistakes... Just like ancient scholars copied books, the larger the book, the easier it was to disperse it.
After thinking about it, Yang Rui simply decided to copy a complete copy by himself and then mimeograph it to the owner of the Ruixue Group.
He has no experience in English teaching, and the highest-end English training he received was learned to write papers. Graduate students in his major need to publish at least one paper in District 1 after graduation, and the magazines in District 1 are all foreign language magazines. If you can't speak English, it is difficult to graduate, and it is impossible not to learn.
However, Yang Rui only worked hard to learn English when he was in college. He stopped using it after graduation a few years and almost forgot many of the contents. Instead, he was a professional related word, and he remembered it deeply.
In other words, now that Yang Rui is thrown into an English-speaking country, he can say some biological words stumblely, but he can't understand it in daily conversations.
Yang Rui didn't know any English tricks, but he remembered it very clearly. After memorizing the new concept of English, his English level would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
This kind of story has appeared among his high school classmates, among his college classmates, and among his tutoring school students. Basically, it is easy to memorize the second volume of the New Concept English and a small number of New Concept English Volume 3, and it is easy to achieve good grades in the middle school entrance examination. It is easy to memorize the full text of the New Concept English Volume 3, and it is easy to get 80% of the excellent scores in the college entrance examination English. If you can have the perseverance to memorize the fourth volume of the New Concept English Volume 4, it is simple to pass the CET-4 and CET-6 in one breath, and it is not even difficult to TOEFL IELTS.
This is a widely circulated secret book, but fewer and fewer people can truly practice this secret book.
This is like everyone knows that after memorizing the English dictionary, English will definitely achieve good grades. People in later generations are always willing to find various efficient learning methods, which is naturally understandable. Everyone has limited time, and not everyone needs to learn English to live. Getting the highest score with the least time is the general pursuit of the public.
However, students in the 1980s did not pay attention to life. In this era, let alone memorizing texts, there are many people who memorize English dictionaries. It is not because of how powerful the English dictionary is, but the English dictionary is the most complete English book they have found.
Unlike later students, students in the 1980s had no way out. No matter how hard the text was to memorize, they would be willing to do so as long as they could get extra points. Especially students in township middle schools would either pass the college entrance examination and become honorable college students or technical secondary school students, and then become people from the country to get a job and sit in the office. Or they did not pass the college entrance examination, they could only go home to farm, endure at least 20 years of industrial and agricultural scissors gap, and finally see if they were lucky enough to catch up with the national project land acquisition, so that they could enjoy several years of leisure time. Of course, if they were unlucky to catch up with the local land acquisition, they would not even have to plant land.
As for running a business, although it is a way, it is far from a happy road. Most people dare not spend all their money to do business. Even if they borrow money to do business, they may not be able to make money. Even if they make money, they cannot guarantee that they can make money in the future.
In fact, in the wave of the whole people going into the sea, there are a lot of towns and farmers participating in commercial activities. But after 30 years, there are still few glories. In the end, the most popular group of people who took the college entrance examination in the 1980s and resigned and went into the sea.
As for the counterattack faction who dropped out of school and then hired college students, there are some, and compared with the peers who worked hard to dig the earth, their number was too small and they paid too much.
In short, two or three years ahead of the game, a new concept English is enough to solve the English problems of most students.
Not to mention getting a high score of *10, as long as you reach the average, it will be much higher than the average score in the college entrance examination.
As long as you work hard, you will have a way to gain something, and it is also the most popular among students at this time. For them, getting up at five o'clock in the morning to memorize the book is nothing.
Yang Rui himself began to memorize "New Concept English" silently in order to regain his lost premonition. If he can improve his English level slightly, it is also a good choice.
After all, if he wants to continue to be a top student in college, or publish many papers he remembers in his mind, English is still a hurdle that he has to face.
