Chapter 701 The last day of 1981! New Oriental announces foreign languages, etc.

1981 12 Month 31 Day.

Thursday.

Yanjing.

Peking University Yanyuan.

A few days ago, it snowed heavily in Yanjing for many times. Yu Minhong came out of the classroom alone as usual and passed by the Yanyuan Corridor. He did not stop, mainly because it was too cold outside.

Now, not only are my hands and ears cold, but my breathing is filled with white air, which is very uncomfortable.

Yu Minhong hurried back to the dormitory. He felt that Yanjing was much colder than Jiangnan in winter.

The weather in Yanjing was dry, and every time it snowed, it was extremely cold. He regretted whether he should have gone to Guangdong Province to study at university.

"Min Hong, I heard that New Oriental has announced the foreign language test results. Do you want to go and take a look?" asked the boy in the lower bunk in the dormitory.

The four people in their dormitory all signed up to take the foreign language proficiency test held by New Oriental Education and Training Institution on November 11st.

On December 1981, 12, they all went to a middle school to take the exam as scheduled.

At that time, they learned that the test papers, test pens, etc. were all flown in from Xiangjiang a week in advance, and the test was conducted as strictly as the college entrance examination.

In addition to the usual test questions, there is also a listening test.

Listening tests are given via radio and cassette tapes.

Both Yu Minhong and other boys in the dormitory found that New Oriental's English test was much more difficult than the college entrance examination, but it also paid more attention to listening.

The test questions are worth 100 points in total, and the listening questions are worth 30 points.

Yu Minhong found that his hearing might be average, but other things were fine.

If you want to get a B-level foreign language certificate, you need to get at least 80 points.

Today is the last day of 1981. After the exam on December 12, all the test papers were flown back to Xiangjiang for marking. After a month, these test papers have been corrected, and today is when the results will be announced.

Some candidates first took the foreign language proficiency test of New Oriental Training Institute, and then took the TOEFL test of Country M.

Compared with the TOEFL exam, they found that the test questions of New Oriental Education and Training Institution were not that simple.

"It's too cold outside." Yu Minhong said.

"If you don't go, we will go. I heard that as long as the results are out, you can go to the New Oriental Training Institute for an interview to become a teacher."

Interviewing to be a teacher?

Yu Minhong was still a little excited.

If you pass the interview, you can become a part-time teacher and start earning a part-time income.

Think of this.

The four people in the dormitory went to Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park together.

They just arrived there and found that many students were already there.

In addition to Peking University, there are also Jinghua and so on.

On a piece of red paper outside, the test results were announced.

No specific results were announced, only grades.

The list of those who are qualified and above is announced, and there is no list of those who are unqualified.

Judging from this exam, only about 10% of the students can get an A grade, and less than 20% of the students can get a B grade.

This was only signed up by students from Yanjing who thought they had better foreign language scores. Those students who knew they were not good at foreign languages ​​did not dare to sign up.

Even then, many students still successfully obtained their A-level certificates.

Yu Minhong and his classmates squeezed into the crowd. After searching for a long time on the Peking University list, they finally found the names of four people.

Yu Minhong received the B-level certificate.

Yu Minhong’s lower bunk got an A-level certificate.

The other two also obtained C-level certificates respectively.

In other words, Yu Minhong and his classmates from the lower bunk can participate in the next round of interviews at New Oriental training institutions.

Before coming, Yu Minhong was mentally prepared. He knew that his listening skills were not good. Unexpectedly, he still got a B-level certificate, which meant that he scored at least 80 points in this exam. The other two got C-level certificates. , meaning it is lower than 80 points.

"Minhong, the two of us can enter the next round of interviews."

. . .

Too many students crowded in here to watch.

When Yu Minhong and his classmates came out of the crowd, they learned from another information column that students who had obtained B-level and A-level English test certificates would be interviewed in the conference room of New Oriental Training Institution in a week. After passing the interview, you will be notified on the spot whether you will be admitted or not.

Enter the next round of interviews a week later.

Yu Minhong and his classmates on the lower bunk looked really excited.

This time, they were among the thousands of people who entered the next round of interviews.

I wonder if this interview will be difficult.

Yu Minhong and his classmates left here and when they returned to the dormitory, Yu Minhong took out a piece of letter paper and prepared to tell his parents and sister back home in Jiangnan the good news.

This means that I am only one step away from becoming a part-time teacher at New Oriental Training Institute.

. . .

Yang Mingzai, Liang Shuyi and Suzuki Akashiro finished breakfast.

When the two women went to see Teresa Teng and Akira Nakamori, Yang Ming took the car back to the Empire State Building.

When Yang Ming stood in the chairman's office and looked outside, Lin Xiuzhi was making coffee for him.

"Boss, your coffee."

Yang Ming sat down.

Lin Xiuzhi brought the coffee.

At this time, there was a copy of the New Oriental Foreign Language Certificate Examination Score Card in front of him.

This time, only students and teachers from Yanjing took the exam. In total, there were nearly tens of thousands of people taking the exam. It can be said to be a very large foreign language exam.

It is an examination jointly conducted by Imperial Group, New Oriental Training Institution Company, and the Yanjing Education Department.

The examination questions were produced here in Xiangjiang, and the examination papers were also printed and distributed here. Even the pen and paper provided for the examination were all from Xiangjiang. Finally, the examination ended on the morning of December 12, and all the examination papers were flown back to Xiangjiang in the winter for marking. .

It took more than twenty days to correct all the test papers and finally conduct the score statistics.

What Yang Ming didn't expect was that for students from universities such as Peking University and Jinghua University, many students' foreign language scores were not as good as he imagined. Their ability to get into such universities had a lot to do with the environment in which the college entrance examination had just resumed.

It does not mean that their foreign language scores are necessarily good.

Yang Ming found that among the students with perfect scores in this exam, which is 1% of the students, there are 90% with scores above 10, about 80% with scores above 20, and about 40% with passing scores.

More than 60% were unqualified.

It may also be related to foreign language listening.

At this time, many people in China are not very accustomed to foreign language listening.

Unlike Yang Ming's previous life, he was very used to listening to English because he often listened to it.

Now, looking at this transcript, he knew that New Oriental Training Institution Company would soon conduct a second round of interviews for those students and teachers who applied for the job. After the interviews, full-time teachers and part-time teachers would be officially recruited, and students would be recruited to learn foreign languages. training.

Compared with the historical New Oriental training institutions, it is ten years ahead of schedule.
