In April this year, the weather in Nanchang is as full of spring flavor as ever. It is suitable for a drink and a few books, but it is not convenient for traveling. However, a line, a notice, a document sent offline, a thought of heaven and a thought of hell, this April is worthy of my deep memory and commemoration. The so-called "the result is good, everything is fine" has made me ignore the pain and suffering of the process.
2009.1.10--2009.1.11——→2009.3——→2009.4.3——→2009.4.7——→2009.4.15--2009.4.16
Three The months lasted far longer than any of the previous preparations for it. There was not a day when I could sleep peacefully, and there was not a moment when I was not thinking about the answers that could no longer be changed. In my life of nearly twenty years, it even seemed like it was about to end. The second time I saw the desperate look, I completely forgot my initial determination, and I was speechless and full of doubts about my own powerlessness. So when I received the notice for the re-examination on April 7, I seemed to be in a trance, which was unreal. After all, I had waited too long for this day.
My brain was frozen for a long time, but my hands automatically moved a bunch of books related to the re-examination. My eyes began to read line by line habitually, waiting for my mind to clear up.
At around 7 o'clock in the morning on April 14th, I had already boarded the train to SH with a bag of books on my back. The scenery outside the window was going backwards, and my memories were slowly rewinding to the last trip to SH. I once thought I could touch my ideal, but ended up falling to pieces. No matter how immature I am, this time I always remember to remind myself to do my best but be prepared for the worst. How many invincible embarrassments can there be in life? I am fearless.
I went to the school to register for the re-examination on April 15th. I met the staff of the college for the first time. I routinely handed in academic degree certificates, undergraduate transcripts and related awards and practical experience materials. Objectively speaking, it didn't leave a very good impression on me. It only made me more excited to take the re-examination tomorrow. The other party held up my undergraduate transcript and said disdainfully, "How did you make the transcript? How could there be so many excellent..." Since he had already questioned me inexplicably and preconceivedly, what more words did I need to spend? Woolen cloth? They're all scum...
At around 7 o'clock in the morning on April 16, I was munching bread outside the written examination examination room while waiting to enter. A lecture theater is divided into four sections, with students from four exam orientations sitting there. My test subject was basic knowledge of Chinese language and culture. The moment I saw the test paper, I smiled and confirmed that my analysis of the test content the previous week was at least reliable: basic modern Chinese knowledge (including pinyin, strokes, Chinese characters, correction of incorrect sentences, etc., the difficulty level is not at the same level as the preliminary test), basic ancient Chinese knowledge is 50 points, and the remaining 50 points are Chinese cultural knowledge (I personally think Cheng Yujian's "Essentials of Chinese Culture" is a must-read , this section of the test paper is relatively comprehensive, covering national culture, folk customs, architecture, etc., and the knowledge points are very scattered). The most embarrassing thing is that when I answered the multiple-choice question about architectural features, although my brain immediately recalled the picture of house characteristics in the textbook that I kept looking at the night before, I couldn't remember that the small characters under each picture were wool. This The key to answering the questions is indeed ⊙﹏⊙b. The last 50 minutes were mainly multiple-choice questions. Unbelievably, I was asked about an award for Peking Opera, a name for the Chinese Film Festival, and the theme of the SH World Expo (so I should be glad when I got off the train. Did you catch a glimpse of a billboard on the way out? - "Better city, better life", God knows how much I felt when I saw it). The most pertinent question should be the last 10-point short answer question - analysis of the Confucius Institute. New icon, talk about your understanding and so on. In fact, I am very curious about the written test paper for teaching Chinese as a foreign language~~~~~~~~~
It was almost 10 o'clock to finish the re-examination, and the interview time was advanced to 11:45, so lunch was I stuffed some randomly into my stomach.
Arrive at the waiting room for the interview on time, and carefully read the notice that has been posted: "Divided into 6 large groups, each of three people will draw lots to become pros and cons, and the professional quality test will be conducted in the form of debate. "Okay, then logically I should continue to see the way of drawing lots, but things in the world are always illogical and I will slap myself." The list of the 6 major groups, as well as the distribution of pros and cons are as follows... ...", so you want us to figure out the lottery process ourselves?
——→PART.1 Enter the small dark room one by one for political review (What school? What major? Are you a party member? When did you join the party? What do you think of X’s merit theory?)
So After many years, why are people still so entangled in discussing merit? Dear teacher, we have really prepared how to answer questions about 512, the Olympics, etc. Please look at my sincere eyes o(╯□╰)o Then, the funny thing happened. The teacher asked me seriously, "What do you think about X?" "On merit?", I quickly replied, "Teacher "To this?", OMG, are you too complimentary on my ability to communicate with the lovely and enthusiastic Thai people? I just want to make contact, but there is no way to understand it. Therefore, this question is also very rubbish.
More than an hour was wasted on a good political review...
——→PART.2 One by one, a group of people entered a small dark room to take an English oral test , the great teachers finally realized that time is precious. Not to mention that wasting our time is a crime, even wasting our own time is also chronic suicide. So who wants to commit chronic suicide? Therefore, in this session, one group went to the oral exam, and the other group was mysteriously arranged to go to the corridor to draw debate topics, six in a row. After drawing, the three groups went to their own small dark rooms to prepare. Fifteen minutes later, I went to the professional quality test black room to perform.
When it was my turn for the oral exam, I had already seen several cute classmates with red faces walking out of the small dark room. I don’t know whether it was because of excitement, depression or XXXX. In short, the appearance of the oral exam teacher was already impressed by me. It is said that he is an old man who speaks very fast. Be prepared to say PARDON more than three times. Dear classmates, for the sake of me waiting for you outside, you don’t want to scare me like this, right? "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing" is definitely a ten thousand years old truth. In fact, the teacher for the oral examination was a middle-aged man who looked quite refreshing. He spoke as fast as if he was born in The Expendables. I was very worried because during the political review, the teacher asked me about my trip to Thailand, but when it came to the oral examination, the teacher still asked me. Are you holding on to that thing? So I started talking nonsense again/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
After all the oral examination, it was already past 4 o'clock
——→PART.3 Conducted in the form of debate For a professional quality interview, each group prepares for 15 minutes and then goes into the small black room COS National College Debate. The pros and cons take turns to state their opinions. Each person has one minute, followed by 5 minutes of free speech. Finally, you can go out and wait to be called. Went to three halls for interrogation. To this day, there are only two debate topics that I know: "In the Chinese class, should the teacher correct his mistakes? Will the benefits outweigh the disadvantages?" and "In Chinese learning, should we focus more on understanding or reciting?", which is very beautiful. I am on the opposite side. Personally, I think the debate process of our group was good. There was no silence, no time wasted, and everyone was just talking nonsense. It should be noted that when speaking freely, no one should give each other face, and must speak boldly, otherwise the three teachers pretending to be the audience will not be able to understand our situation. Okay, I admit that I was slow to warm up at the time...
The three-class trial was also a spoof. QUESTION1 "If the school arranges for you to go to the Congo as a volunteer, would you be willing?" QUESTION2 "The school assigned you to do something, do you obey?" Question 1, there is no need to be frightened by the Congo, just give them the answer they want, "yes", and there is no need to waste words. You have played a respectable role. The teacher may not have time to listen. It’s good to go to the Congo. I can see the lovely and enthusiastic people and animals in Africa. My card machine can be used again~\(≥▽≤)/~~~~Question 2, I gave it directly again The answer they wanted was "obey", but the teacher refused and insisted on dragging me to ask, "Don't you ask me what's going on?" Teacher, you are too conceited. Do you think the school wants to arrange for me? Doing something difficult? QUESRION3 "What do you think are your shortcomings in teaching? Oh, I just want to ask you what advantages you think you have in teaching?" The answer to this question depends on your own, but if you answer singing and dancing, I guarantee that the teacher will be very interested. The land invites you to sing and dance, and the entertainment will relieve the tension of the next day.
Of course, the loving teachers brought up my trip to the Philippines and Thailand. At that time, I only had one thought: "You made a piano on the spot. It's not like I don't dare to play o(╯□╰)o"
After finishing all the above, it was past 6 o'clock in the evening. My stomach was completely sublimated. I was hungry - → so hungry that I wanted to sleep - → not hungry - → not feeling anything.
Originally, the two The interview and list announcement process was completed in one day. The department was very hard-working and decided to finish it that night, so everyone chatted and worked hard. At around 7 o'clock, we finally ushered in the much-anticipated and exciting moment. To be honest, it was too After waiting for a long time, I have almost exhausted all my enthusiasm at this time. It’s okay to get there, but if I don’t get there, it’s just a different way. But when I think about it many years later, I will inevitably be extremely annoyed and regretful.
From the night of the 16th when I heard my name was on the list of candidates for admission, to the completion of the physical examination on the 18th, and then on the train home, I finally felt the joy of being admitted. Slow heat went to the Pacific Trench for me.
SH, ECNU, I finally have a chance to get close to you and feel you. This city that has made me feel completely strange and without a sense of belonging for a long time finally gave me a little better feeling.
In 2009, everything will become better, as long as I remain determined and bravely run all the way.
