-202 1-2022 Twelfth letter of Clivia class next semester

Dear gentlemen, gentlemen,

Happy weekend! It must be very happy to be home with my family after a busy week of study. I am as happy for your happiness as you are.

After dinner yesterday, I walked around the community. I haven't seen you for several days. The hollyhocks on the roadside have been in full bloom in a large area, one by one, forming a small red forest, each of which is so warm and brilliant!

The campus is still full of "spring scenery". It is not only the pink flowers in front of the school motto stone that attract our attention, but also the buttonwood tree. In just two years, every buttonwood tree has a shade, which provides us with a shade in summer. In the flower beds on both sides of the central road, sorrel still blooms vigorously, and the flowers weave a red ocean; A kind of weed called bowl flower climbs up holly and produces a big pink trumpet; An intoxicating scent of flowers makes you follow the scent. It turns out that the magnolia tree has several big white flowers. ...

Yesterday morning, I happened to find that behind the motto stone of our school, there were many Xiao Yang saplings facing the wind and the sun. Just a month ago, Huayang was surging, "just to solve the problem of flying snow all over the sky"; Now, a month later, everyone will see a poplar sapling. Although many people can't survive because of man-made destruction, you will see many poplar saplings by the roadside ditch. The vitality of seeds is really strong!

If your dream is also a seed, then, gentlemen, do you see the power of the dream seed?

We are also seeds. No matter what the situation is now, the young gentlemen will "finally cross the soil and move towards the bright side." Use actions to "make years and let life bloom"!

This week even flew by. We commented on the three-mode test paper and practiced nervously and intently before the exam. This week, I had a heart-to-heart talk with about 30 classmates during morning self-study or after-dinner tutoring, encouraging everyone to absorb knowledge like a sponge, which will definitely come in handy in the examination room. Actually, that's what everyone does. Everyone's study status is very good, and time waits for no one!

This letter continues to introduce you to examples in life. Actually, I've been thinking about which role to recommend to you these days. After reading a book by high flyers Ma in my circle of friends, I thought of Yu, the founder of New Oriental.

When young gentlemen go home to surf the internet, they will pay attention to a news. In recent days, the live broadcast industry of New Oriental has been brought to a new height. An employee named Dong went to the anchor hot search of New Oriental on his own, and the daily transaction volume exceeded 10 million, and the stock of New Oriental soared. Why is Dong so awesome? Little gentlemen can have a look at Baidu. It turns out that he is also an example for us to learn.

I used to be an English teacher in the teaching and training institution of New Oriental. Although he is only 30 years old, he has become a famous English teacher in New Oriental. Last year, because of the double reduction, I began to be a network anchor with the transformation of New Oriental, and live broadcast with goods. You can't hear "buy it!" "Link 32 1!" On the contrary, you can hear live broadcasts of Chinese and English, literature and philosophy, poetry and distant places.

When he sold Liu's "Three-body", he said: "There is a classic saying in" Three-body ":it is not weakness and ignorance that threaten your existence, but arrogance. I think ignorance can lead to arrogance, because ignorant people often have nothing to hide. The more books you read, the more modest you will be, just like the fuller the ears of grain sink. " While telling these life philosophies, he will also teach you how to say an "arrogant" word in English. A group of "laid-off and re-employed" teachers have entered the live broadcast industry and played live broadcast to a new height. Except Dong, other anchors are good at poetry and songs, can sing and dance, and even know five foreign languages. Many netizens who watched their live broadcast could not help but sigh: "Knowledge is useful at any time!"

But, gentlemen, you know what? Dong was born in a rural family and has never learned English since childhood. After being scolded by the teacher, Dong began to study English seriously. By the second day of junior high school, his English score jumped to the top of the whole grade. Because of this experience, Dong chose English as his major when he was admitted to college.

What we want to share today is not Dong's story, but the story of Dong Boss and founder of New Oriental Yu. His stories are very inspirational, and he is better at inspirational speeches himself. Little gentlemen can find many videos or manuscripts of his inspirational speech on the Internet. I have listened to two videos myself, met him at a meeting place and watched the movie "Chinese Partner" adapted from him.

Let's take a look at an introduction in Baidu Encyclopedia: Yu, born on September 4th, Xiagang Street, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province 1962, founder of New Oriental Education Group, and an expert in English teaching and management. Chairman of New Oriental Education Group, co-founder of Hongtai Fund, vice president of China Young Entrepreneurs Association and member of all-china youth federation. 1980 was admitted to the department of western languages in Peking University, and stayed as a teacher after graduation. 199 1 resigned from Peking University, 1993 founded Beijing new oriental school, led new oriental to be listed on the NYSE in 2006, won the CCTV economic person of the year in 2009, and won the 50 most influential business leaders in China in 20 12. 2014165438+1On October 26th, Hongtai Fund was co-founded with Sheng Xitai, the former chairman of Huatai United Securities. 2065438+May 2005, made a guest appearance in the large-scale historical film "Cyclone for Nine Days". 20 17 12 10 was elected as the standing Committee of the democratic central Committee.

Isn't this resume great?

But you know what? Like many of us, Yu is also a farmer's child. He failed in English. But interestingly, the cram school founded in the university is an English cram school, and now the New Oriental English cram school has blossomed all over the country.

So, how did Yu become a successful social elite from a peasant child?

In this letter, we seek the answer to this question from Yu's growing experience and schooling experience.

four

1962 was born in an ordinary rural family in Xiagang Street Village, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province. His father is a carpenter and his mother is the female captain of the local production team. I also have a barefoot doctor sister.

Very ordinary family, isn't it?

1976 graduated from junior high school. After graduation, he did not go to high school, but returned to the countryside. Because the policy at that time was that only one child of the poor and middle peasants could go to high school. Yu's sister graduated from high school.

1978, the year after I resumed the college entrance examination, I took the college entrance examination and applied for Changshu Normal University. As a result, he only got 33 points in English test, and his scores in other subjects were also very poor, while the English score of Changshu Normal University was 38 points that year.

Gentlemen, if you were Yu, would you give up your studies and think that you are not learning material? Isn't it "360 lines, and each line is the best"? To learn some skills instead of pursuing self-realization?

At first, I may have the same idea as above. He went home to farm, drove a walking tractor, transplanted rice and cut rice, and even served as a substitute teacher in junior high school. But he was unwilling, so he chose to repeat. Results In the second year of college entrance examination, Yu made progress in English and scored 55 points. However, in that year, Changshu Teachers College scored 60 points in English, but Yu was still not accepted by Teachers College.

Gentlemen, if you were Yu, would you be discouraged?

After failing the list for the second time, Yu had to go home and continue farming. But he was still unwilling, so he chose to repeat. However, he knew where his shortcoming was English, so he signed up for an English cram school. Moreover, this review, he finally couldn't stand it, and quit his job as a substitute teacher. He had the backbone of Mao Zedong in those days-children were determined to go to the countryside, and they would never return until they learned something!

There is an advertisement saying that if you know where you are going, the whole world will make way for you. We clamored to fight before the mid-term exam, but I really fought. In the third year of college entrance examination, I got 95 points in English and was admitted to Peking University one month later.

After three college entrance examinations, Yu changed his life and made him sum up a life creed. That is, if you work hard for one thing, but you don't succeed, life will not get worse; If there is a possibility of success, we must strive for it.

There is also Ma Yun who has a similar experience, and he has also experienced three college entrance examinations. I also failed math in the first college entrance examination. Oh, he only got one point. Three years later, he was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Hangzhou Normal University, and scored 89 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination.

To sum up, Yu's three college entrance examination experiences tell us that if we set our learning goals, we should go all out and never give up until the last moment. Keep believing, keep acting, and you will have the last laugh.

Gentlemen, do you remember such a couplet? If you have perseverance, you don't have to get up at night and go to bed at five o'clock; The most useless thing is to be frozen for ten days a day. Take Yu as an example, you can also write your academic legend!

Yu's efforts were that he wanted to change his life through the college entrance examination and persisted. It's also because of his mother's efforts.

Because I failed in the college entrance examination twice in a row, I was hit hard. He began to hesitate whether to give up going home to farm or continue to prepare for the third college entrance examination. At the teaching level at that time, Yu's achievements encountered bottlenecks and it was difficult to make a breakthrough. Yu's mother tried her best to help Yu enter an English cram school in a middle school with the highest English teaching level in Jiangyin County. Thanks to the foundation and the guidance of teachers, Yu's English scores have risen rapidly.

Gentlemen, behind me is my mother's efforts; Behind us, there are parents' unremitting efforts: exhortation before school starts, tireless shuttle service on weekends, earnest expectations before the exam, comfort and encouragement after the exam … not to mention providing us with economic conditions and taking care of us. Which parent is not expecting your child, expecting your healthy and successful growth! When your grades drop, your parents are more anxious than you; When the weather changes suddenly, parents send clothes in time; Every Friday afternoon, an hour or two before school is over, the school gate is crowded with parents. ...

Children will also feel the trust and expectation of parents for their children's lives; If the child can't feel it, it may be that your expression is wrong. We are now dealing with children who have entered adolescence, so we should choose our expressions carefully. Governing by doing nothing is certainly not desirable; Aggressive methods, criticism and even shouting, often backfire. We can't control the children's behavior, we can only help them. Just like planting crops, we can't pull out the seedlings and encourage them. We can only do some topdressing and weeding work on the side and give as much sunshine and rain as possible. When these jobs are done, the crops will grow well.

By the way, Yu graduated from the Department of Western Languages in Peking University, and later founded New Oriental, so he must have a lot of experience in English learning. For students who have difficulties in learning English, please see the specific suggestions for everyone to learn English:

There is no shortcut to English, so in the end, you have to rely on your usual accumulation, listen more and practice more to improve your English.

First, under limited conditions, practice makes perfect.

Second, set aside enough time for training every day. For example, if you spend 2 hours a day, your tongue will become more flexible and your ears will become more sensitive. Slowly, your English will improve.

What, isn't that a cliche?

That's the truth. Gentlemen can click the link to watch this interview: http://www.neworiental.org/news/ymhzl/201704/8334599.html, or you can enter the keyword "How do China students learn English most effectively" in the search engine. There is a detailed explanation of this problem on the web page.

One more thing, please pay attention to students who need to improve their English. There was a senior the year before last. His English score in the eighth grade last semester has been below 96, and he can reach above 96 in the eighth grade next semester. Why is there such a big improvement? He summed it up himself: the teacher will lead them to analyze the sentence components next semester, and when he understands it, it will be easy to recite it. So he said that English learning must be based on the understanding of grammar knowledge. Do you agree with this?

Ladies and gentlemen, my life and career after the college entrance examination are more bumpy and more inspirational. But this letter mainly introduces his three college entrance examination experiences. If you are interested in his experience, you can continue reading on Baidu Encyclopedia, watch one or two videos of his speech, or buy books written by him.

Yu is now an example for everyone to learn and will be an example for everyone to start a business in the future. Of course, there are many such role models: Ma Yun, Liu Chuanzhi, Shi Yuzhu, Ren, Ma, and Wei Jianjun. If you have time, you can also search their introductory texts or read related biographies.

However, the entrepreneurs mentioned above are all men, and girls may not be satisfied with this list. In fact, there are many women, such as Tao Huabi, founder of Laoganma brand, Dong Mingzhu, former president of Gree Group, and Jiang Peizhen, chairman of Jinsizi Group. As for women in various fields, there are more, such as Yan Ning, a female scientist, Tu Youyou, a Nobel Prize winner, Tie Ning, a writer, Shu Ting, etc ... Women don't want men, like Mulan, and more modern women realize themselves! You can get a long list by searching.

Up to this letter, "Walking with them", four letters introduced four characters, and I believe that both gentlemen and gentlemen can get some inspiration from their experiences; The next four letters will tell you the stories of several heroes. Who are they? Stay tuned.

I wish every student review progress and get the best results in the senior high school entrance examination!

Yours, Miss Wang.
