Chapter 47: New Concept English

In the next few days, Yang Rui went to class as usual, Ruixue secret papers were also sold as usual, the principal continued to linger between the county and the region to stamp the seal, the atmosphere in the school was slightly calm, but the reputation of the Ruixue group was at its peak, not only the students of the returning class and the graduating class, but also students of other ages have applied to join the Ruixue group.

According to Yang Rui's request, joining the Ruixue group was to write the group application, so the snowflake-like applications immediately filled the table, and many people actively participated in the burning and printing of the secret scroll of the Ruixue group.

The application forms are thick and thin, with more than 20 pages and as few as two or three pages, some of which can be seen at a glance as having been changed from the application for joining the party, while others are written quite seriously.

How can it be so easy for a carp to jump over the dragon gate, there are nearly 100 people in the factory-run middle school of Xibao Meat Factory every year, and none of them are admitted to the university, Xibao Middle School is almost the best local township middle school, and only a few people are admitted to the university a year...... However, difficulty is not an obstacle to jumping the dragon gate, as long as you think about the life of jumping the dragon gate, students who are aspiring to it are willing to pay a little bit to get a little chance.

It's the only shortcut from one world to another.

Yang Rui couldn't finish reading so many applications alone, and after persevering for a day, he pulled Huang Ren and Liu Shan into the review team.

Because of Yang Rui's expression, especially the behavior of "thank the teacher", Liu Shan's impression of him has changed greatly, coupled with her serious personality, after accepting the task of auditing, she actually did the audit work in an orderly manner, not only divided into three categories: passing, suspending and not knowing, but also wrote comments for each application, and then established a separate file for the student.

If writing a review is serious, building a file is making a flower.

When Liu Shan came up, he was worried that Yang Rui would not agree, so he said in a persuasive tone: "The number of people in our school is not large, and it is estimated that there are only about two hundred people who need to make files, and they will not submit an application for joining the group once, they must continue to submit it, once or twice, I don't think it, three or four times, it is more cost-effective to make a file." I thought about it, I don't really need to buy a file bag or something, just use a paper folder to make a paper file for each student, and put it in it, every time he applies, whether it is through guò or not, we can mark it in it, so that when the next person reviews it, he will know what is going on, and he doesn't have to save the enrollment application every time, and it can also make the application process fairer......"

"I agreed. Yang Rui looked at Liu Shan's seriousness and was ashamed.

Liu Shan was quite surprised and said, "You really agree?"

"Why don't you agree?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically. The archives established by Liu Shan gave him inspiration, and then he had a series of associations. Students can graduate, but the file can be recorded forever. With the increase in the number of members of the Rui learning group, Yang Rui's way of relying entirely on memory obviously does not work.

But if you create a file for everyone, even if they go their separate ways after graduation, Yang Rui can still get through them, recall the relationship between the two sides, and re-establish contact.

Liu Shan naturally couldn't think of it so deeply, but her thinking circuit turned in another direction and asked, "You won't agree because of me, right?"

Her eyes are not big, but they are very smart, and when she looks at people, she looks like a whirlpool in a swirling lake.

Yang Rui was about to explain, but when he came to his lips, he smiled and said, "Because it doesn't matter what you think, your idea is very good." Moreover, we must not only create files for students who apply for enrollment, but also for all members of the group. In this way, don't buy the file bag first, lest people think we are going to do something, get some paper clips, or a stapler, prepare three pages for each student, fill in the corresponding information by the way, add some family information, and then the study situation, some of our main activities, etc., it is more detailed than the normal file, after all, there are so many of us ......"

Liu Shan was still a little shy, but after hearing Yang Rui say so much in one breath, she couldn't help but say: "Building files for hundreds of people, I can't do it alone." ”

"Then I'll add one more person to you. ”

"It's still not enough, it's better to have 4 people, and you have to send someone alone to buy things. Liu Shan counted on her fingers, how long it would take to collect information, how long it would take to write information, and how long it would take to verify and classify it......

Hearing what she said seriously, Yang Rui also became serious, thought about it and said, "Just count it according to 4, and I will ask Huang Ren to arrange a subsidy." ”

"Subsidies?"

"It's the same as the subsidy for the students who carved the scrolls, a dime an hour. You will be given a maximum of 5 days, and if you can't complete it when it expires, the subsidy will be stopped. "The Sharp School Group has become more and more formalized, and the calculation of working hours has also been reduced to a maximum of 8 hours per day, which is to correspond to the legal working hours of the country. In fact, no matter how much money you pay for overtime, it is easy to be exploited, because the purpose of overtime work is to make money, and since the money is earned, no matter how much is distributed to workers, it will generate profits, that is, surplus value.

In the early 80s, it was not clear whether it was surplus value or profit. Yang Rui neither cares about this issue, nor does he want to be the target of the debate, his future is great, why take this kind of policy risk, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, one accidentally steps into the abyss, and then there is no recovery. This is a very different risk than a 100 score on an exam.

In the simplest case, an old party member can't get used to you, and if you report it with your real name, all your previous efforts may be scrapped.

The petitions in these years were not for the masses, and the really powerful petitions belonged to officials and party members, who produced far more petitions every year than ordinary people, and how many high-ranking cadres began with a petition from a colleague. Yang Rui's small body bones are far from being able to resist this kind of big killing weapon.

Liu Shan was taken aback, covered her mouth, and said, "You want to send us four yuan?"

"You deserve to be paid for your work. ”

"Are you really making money for making files?" Liu Shan suddenly had doubts again.

"What do you say?" Yang Rui smiled, without waiting for Liu Shan to react, and said: "Okay, hurry up and find someone, as long as the members of the Rui Xue group who are okay and the other party agrees, it will all count, you give the list to Huang Ren and let him send the money." ”

Liu Shan glanced at Yang Rui, said "Okay", and turned to leave.

Yang Rui smiled and continued to study.

These days, he is silently writing "New Concept English".

There is already a new concept of English in the country, but instead of a publication, it is a hand-copied and mimeographed pamphlet.

The Englishman Alexander launched this new set of English in 67, which was once popular all over the world, and the domestic college entrance examination was over after the end of the two college entrance examinations, and he began to frantically look for suitable English textbooks. Because CCTV's "Learn from Me" is so popular, the new concept of English written by the same author has entered the eyes of Chinese.

However, it was still difficult to buy new concept English without official publication in '82, and everyone generally borrowed it and copied it themselves, and some school teachers would mimeograph a batch and send it to students who liked it.

It's such a piecemeal scale that has also allowed New Concept English to spread all over the country, and in two years, there will be publishers who ignore copyright and start large-scale printing.

However, before a publishing house prints it, it is not easy to find a complete set of new concept English, many students only copy the parts they think are good, some copy a few articles and give up, and some lose and copy the wrong ones...... Just like the ancient scholars copied books, the larger the book, the easier it is to scatter.

After thinking about it, Yang Rui simply decided to copy a complete copy by himself, and then mimeographed and distributed it to everyone in the Ruixue group.

He has little experience in English teaching, and the highest level of English training he received is for writing papers, and his graduate students in this major direction need to publish at least one paper in the first district, and the magazines in the first district are all foreign language magazines, and if you can't do English, it is difficult to graduate, and it is impossible not to study.

However, Yang Rui only worked hard to learn English in college, and he no longer used it a few years after graduation, and he almost forgot many of the contents, but the words related to his major were deeply memorable.

In other words, now that Yang Rui is thrown into an English-speaking country, he can stumble and say some biological words, but he can't understand them in daily conversations.

Yang Rui didn't know much about English, but he remembered very well that his English level was definitely improving by leaps and bounds by memorizing the new concept of English.

This kind of story has appeared among his classmates in high school, among his classmates in college, and among students in his cram school. Basically, it is very easy to memorize the second volume of New Concept English and a small amount of New Concept English Volume 3, and it is very easy to achieve good results in the high school entrance examination, and it is easy to memorize the full text of the third volume of the new concept English and get 80% excellent scores in the college entrance examination.

This is a well-known secret, but there are fewer and fewer people who can actually practice it.

It's like everyone knows that if you memorize an English dictionary, you will definitely get a good grade in English. Later generations of people are always willing to look for a variety of efficient learning methods, which is understandable, everyone's time is limited, and not everyone needs to learn English to live, with the least time to get the highest score, is the general pursuit of the public.

However, the students of the 80s were not particular about life. In this era, not to mention memorizing texts, there are many people who memorize English dictionaries. Not because of how good the English dictionary is, but the English dictionary is the most complete English book they have found.

Unlike students in later generations, students in the 80s have no way back, and no matter how difficult the texts are, as long as they can add points, they are willing. In particular, students in township middle schools either pass the college entrance examination and become glorious college students or secondary school students, and then become national people with lattes and sit in offices. Either you don't have the college entrance examination, then you can only go home to farm, endure at least 20 years of industrial and agricultural scissors, and finally see if you are lucky enough to catch up with the national project land acquisition, in order to enjoy a few years of leisure time. Of course, if you are unlucky enough to catch up with the local land acquisition, then you will not even have to plant the land.

As for running a business, although it is a path, it is far from a path of happiness. Most people don't dare to go bankrupt and borrow 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, there is no guarantee that they can make money in the future.

In fact, in the wave of the whole people going to the sea, there are a lot of township residents and farmers who participate in commercial activities, but if you look at it 30 years later, there are still very few scenes, and in the end, it is still a group of people who took the university entrance examination in the 80s and resigned to go to the sea.

As for the rebels who dropped out of school to start a business and then hired college students, there are also those who are too few in number and too much to pay compared to their peers who work hard to dig the earth.

All in all, two or three years ahead, a new concept of English is enough to solve the English problems of most students.

Not to mention getting a high score of *10, as long as it reaches the average line, it has already exceeded the average score of the college entrance examination by a lot.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you will have a reward, which is also the most popular among students at this time. For them, getting up at five in the morning to endorse books is not a problem at all.

Yang Rui himself began to memorize "New Concept English" silently, in order to regain the lost premonition, if he can improve his English level a little, it is also a good choice.

After all, if he wants to continue to be a top student in college, or publish many papers that he has memorized in his mind, English still has to face obstacles.
