The courses for English majors are very different from those for science and engineering majors.
For example, there are basic English, advanced English, audition, speaking, writing, translation and practice, introduction to linguistics, foreign languages and literature, etc.
Lin Xiaoguang is okay. He worked hard on English in order to go abroad. Even though he failed to study abroad in the end, after being a high school English teacher for thirty years, his English is quite good. Except for the Chinese-style speaking, in other aspects, compared with
There are so many good classmates in the class.
But even so, Mathematics and English were two completely different majors, and a science major turned into a liberal arts major overnight, which took him a long time to adapt.
This is true for him, let alone others.
Finally one day, after the oral class, when he returned to the dormitory, Qian Shengli couldn't help but complain: "English is so difficult, so difficult. I don't know how a science student like me can get admitted to the English major?"
Chen Yiming was very confused: "No, why do science students come to liberal arts classes?"
"Speaking of which, veteran, Xiaoguang, what school and major did you apply for before? Do you think there is a problem with the admission this time?" Qian Shengli felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"I'm just telling you, please don't leak it out?"
Lin Xiaoguang looked around, cautiously, as if guarding against thieves. Seeing the three people nodding hurriedly, he said: "My choices are Peking University, Fudan, and Sun Yat-sen in order. I only write French as a sixth major. Who knows what I am doing?"
I was admitted to the English major at Tsinghua University.”
"You're awesome!"
Chen Yiming gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face: "I am a liberal arts student. My first choice is Zhongshan, my second choice is Jinan, and my third choice is South China Normal University. All three majors have English."
Liang Zhendao sighed with emotion: "It seems that our dormitory is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. I can't do it. I am a liberal arts student. I applied to an art school first and was not admitted, and then took the college entrance examination. My first choice was Xichuan Normal University, and my second choice was Southwest China University of China.
, my third choice was Sichuan University, who would have expected that I would end up at Tsinghua University.”
Lin Xiaoguang knew that one of the major admission principles for the 1977 College Entrance Examination was to give priority to key colleges and universities.
Under this principle, the three choices filled in by many candidates are irrelevant and do not count. Everything only depends on the total score and the ranking in the province. Among the key colleges and universities, the third Qingbei University is undoubtedly the top priority.
That is to say, people from Qingbei select the students with the highest scores first, and then select the remaining students for other schools.
As for why he was admitted to Tsinghua University, not Peking University, and the majors were even different, Lin Xiaoguang himself didn't know.
Over there, Qian Shengli always felt that if this situation continued, he, a science student, would not be able to keep up with the progress. Worried, he wanted to communicate this problem with the teacher, but he was too timid to speak, so he had to write a letter.
One day during the oral class, Teacher Fu routinely asked two or three people to form groups and have independent conversations.
Lin Xiaoguang secretly glanced at Teacher Fu. Her dress and temperament were incompatible with this era. She was clearly an urban beauty from later generations.
These days, most women dress the same as the rural women of later generations, or even slightly worse. In Peiping, under the feet of the emperor in the imperial capital, there are department directors everywhere. A woman like Teacher Fu has an unusual family background, and may even be
He studied abroad.
"Nicholas Zhaosi, do you think our Mr. Fu is married?" Lin Xiaoguang asked Chen Yiming in English.
Chen Yiming did not expect that when he was having a spontaneous conversation, he would openly make small gestures and talk gossip in English. Others were surprised when they saw him and mistakenly thought he was studying.
Secretly giving a thumbs up, he was very excited, but also said in English: "From my observation, Teacher Fu is not a married woman."
Lin Xiaoguang was very happy, either married or unmarried. Doesn't this mean that he still has a chance?
He was about to ask, but Teacher Fu came over and had to shut up.
Until the bell rang, Teacher Fu usually left directly, but this time he did not. He stood on the podium, waited for the bell to end, and then smiled at the students below: "It has been a while since school started, and many people have asked
Regarding my admission to the school, well, someone also wrote to me."
Teacher Fu smiled without any malice, but when she glanced over, Qian Shengli couldn't help but blush.
"I didn't plan to say it originally, but I saw that some students encountered various problems during their studies, so I decided to answer them and tell everyone what I know. I hope I can dispel the students' doubts and concentrate on studying."
The students were attentive and sat upright. This matter has been bothering everyone for a long time, and finally they have an answer.
"Some of the students sitting here are liberal arts students, some are science students, some volunteered to apply for Tsinghua University, some majored in English, and some did not, but they all have one thing in common. They have all taken the additional foreign language test in the college entrance examination, and their scores are good.
Not bad." Teacher Fu finally offered praise.
"Teacher, what next, why was I admitted to Tsinghua University even though I didn't apply?" a girl asked.
"Bai Yang, please listen patiently."
Teacher Fu turned around and wrote a line on the blackboard. After writing, he said: "The admission principle of this college entrance examination is to select the best. The opinions transferred by the State Council to the Ministry of Education on the admissions work of colleges and universities in 1977 have such a provision. When admitting students,
Priority must be given to ensuring key colleges and universities.”
"What is a key institution, what is the key point, and what is the secondary point? Compared with other schools, Qingbei is the key point, so you will be admitted with priority because you are good enough."
Teacher Fu put down the chalk and threw it loudly.
The students suddenly realized that they were very happy when they heard the praise. Some people did not appreciate the praise and were even a little shy.
"but……"
As soon as they heard "but", the students were immediately nervous.
"Why are some students who have very high scores in mathematics, Chinese, physics and chemistry, and history and geography, but are not admitted to the science majors of Tsinghua University or the liberal arts majors of Peking University? This is because you are not good enough and have not reached the minimum admission score of your favorite major."
The words "not good enough" made everyone's hearts sink.
"Just like Lin Xiaoguang." Teacher Fu suddenly pointed to a person sitting in the third row who was whispering.
Everyone looked over, including Zhao Ziyu and Lin Xiaoguang, who looked confused. What does it have to do with me? Teacher, can you give someone else an example?
"He had 96 in English, 93 in Chinese, with a total score of 444, and was ranked 17th in Xishan Science. However, the Chinese Department, Philosophy Department, and Economic Department of Peking University that he applied for in his first choice were all popular among the popular, so he was not selected, and his English
Ranked seventh in the province in a single subject, he originally had the opportunity to go to a college affiliated with the central ministries and commissions, but his political performance was too poor, coupled with various reasons for college admissions, he was not qualified for an interview."
Teacher Fu was still talking on the podium.
But Lin Xiaoguang's mind was no longer on this. He was wandering around and only thinking about one thing. It turned out that he was not admitted to the Chinese Department of Peking University.
So what Teacher Fu said he missed was the China Foreign Affairs University?
"As far as the college entrance examination English scores are concerned, Lin Xiaoguang is first in our class with the highest score, followed by Bai Yang with 92, and Gu Min and Zhao Ziyu are tied for third with 90 points. The other students are all below 85 points, so I won't go into details."
Teacher Fu paused for a moment, picked up the book, and glanced at each of the classmates with bright eyes: "Okay, I have answered the questions you are concerned about clearly."
"Do you have any other questions?"
The students originally had a lot of questions to ask, but when they heard that their English scores were much worse than others, they finally didn't have the courage to continue asking.
Seeing this, Teacher Fu announced the end of get out of class: "Next, students must be focused on nothing, stop thinking about anything about the last college entrance examination, and devote yourself to studying. get out of class is over now!"
