The course schedule Lin Xiaoguang received was for two years, with a total of fifty-seven courses. Who would have thought that after receiving the books, he roughly counted them and found that the number was no less than a hundred. On average, there were two books for each course.
Some are one book, some are in two volumes, some are in three volumes, one, two, three and four.
There are generally four volumes for public courses, one volume per semester, two volumes for basic courses, and one volume for professional courses.
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't carry more than a hundred books, so he had to call Jiang Shanshan to drive over.
He moved the books outside the headquarters building several times and waited for a long time. Jiang Shanshan hadn't come yet. Instead, Douglas came out of get off work, wearing leather shoes, holding a civilized stick, and wearing a top hat. He came out leisurely, just like Churchill. He walked down the stairs slowly like a fat man.
Outside the building, he saw Lin Xiaoguang, standing in the sun, seemingly helpless.
"Young man, I have warned you long ago that it is not easy to come to Xiangjiang to study. There is an old saying in China that the poor are poor in culture and rich in military. However, it is expensive to receive a British education. If your assets cannot support the cost of studying, maybe you
You can ask for funding, I think there should be many gentlemen willing to help you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Douglas. I think I don't need the help of gentlemen." Lin Xiaoguang smiled, pointed to the car that was driving slowly, and said: "My car is here, Mr. Douglas, I want to move the books."
Yes, please!"
"Stubborn Chinese!" Douglas shrugged, turned and left.
Jiang Shanshan stopped the car and was very confused when she saw the books on the ground. Lin Xiaoguang smiled and explained: "I applied for a master's degree in literature. School starts today. These are the textbooks I received. Please help me move them. Thank you."
Although she was confused, she nodded: "Okay."
The two of them moved the books and put all the books that couldn't fit in the trunk into the back seat. They worked hard for a while, and Jiang Shanshan was so tired that she was sweating profusely before they placed them properly. After getting in the car, while starting the car, she asked: "Why not
Study business administration?”
"Business has never been my biggest interest, teaching is. In fact, what I want to do most is to be a teacher."
Lin Xiaoguang's eyes were deep: "There is a saying that if you have a tiger in your heart, you can smell the roses. Doing business can help me achieve financial freedom. As a teacher, I want to teach students to cultivate their moral integrity and govern the country and bring peace to the world. But if I can't do it myself and can't practice it myself,
It’s too unconvincing, how do students think of me as a teacher?”
Jiang Shanshan was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lin, you really want to be a teacher. What's the point of being a teacher?"
Lin Xiaoguang suddenly laughed: "Being a teacher is so interesting, I will definitely go."
"Doctors control people's lives, but what about teachers? A teacher can control a person's cognition. A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. This is how brainwashing comes about. Don't underestimate the teacher. If he wants, he can do whatever he wants.
, mold a person into anything.”
Jiang Shanshan was so stunned that she even forgot to start the car.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm a good person and I won't do anything that would make people and gods angry. The above are just examples and do not represent my personal views. In fact, I am very kind." Lin Xiaoguang was very sincere.
"All right."
After that, the car drove to Victoria Gardens, and they moved upstairs again until they moved to his 70-square-meter house, placed them in the study, and then went downstairs.
This time, they did not go to Qiyuan. Lin Xiaoguang was deeply afraid that if Lin Xiaozheng saw him again, another woman would accuse him of being frivolous.
He was also worried that Lin Xiaozheng would not follow common sense and throw away his two years of teaching materials. He would have no place to cry and it would not be safe to leave them in Qiyuan, so he simply moved them to Victoria Garden.
In the western restaurant, after inviting Jiang Shanshan to dinner, he remembered something and gave her a task.
"I still have some reading books. It's too troublesome to borrow them from the library. Let's buy them directly. If Xiangjiang doesn't have them, find overseas purchasing agents and buy them back as soon as possible. I want to read them in the next twenty days. I'll leave this matter to you. Sorry for the trouble." Lin Xiaoguang
Very polite.
"OK."
After dinner, he went to class in the afternoon.
There are two classes in the afternoon, one public class in French, one basic class, and one professional class in the evening.
When he walked into the classroom, he discovered that the public master's class was a large class. There were dozens of people in one classroom, all sitting in the lecture hall, listening to the teacher's lectures. None of the classmates knew each other. Most of them had yellow skin, followed by white skin, and no one.
Black people, after asking each other, they found out that each other came from different departments.
Generally speaking, most of them majored in foreign languages, and there were also many people who studied minor languages like him.
After class, he discovered a problem. Everyone else had already reached the second volume, and he just started the first volume. Although he had learned French before, there were some things he couldn't understand at the moment.
In class, the teacher specifically asked questions, and when he was called on, he didn't know what to ask. That was embarrassing.
Although there was no ridicule, a certain contempt could also be felt.
Fortunately, the French teacher knew that he was new here and explained it to him so that he would not be too embarrassed.
After the public class ended, he secretly made up his mind: "I must make up my French skills. I can't be underestimated by some people. Otherwise, I will not only embarrass myself, but also discredit the country and the people."
After a short break, the basic class begins.
The class size of the basic course is much smaller, with only twenty or thirty students. This class is about the history of British linguistics, and it is purely English teaching. The number of students is small, and the teacher can take care of it. The class lasts for more than an hour, and everyone is interested in it.
Being able to be asked two or three times and interacting quite frequently made Lin Xiaoguang, a lazy speaker, very uncomfortable.
There are two volumes of textbooks for this class, and now that he is on the second volume, he thought he would be able to keep up by looking at the books, but that was not the case at all.
Professors of the history of British linguistics do not teach according to textbooks at all.
This class was also very hard, and he was not as comfortable as before. He felt deeply stressed.
After the basic class was over, it was time for dinner and I went out to eat. I bumped into Wen Yongen on the way, and the two of them went to eat together. While walking and chatting, the latter asked him how he felt and what the difference was between Tsinghua University and Tsinghua University in the mainland.
Lin Xiaoguang thought for a moment and said: "Pure English teaching is very innovative and I like it very much."
"It's been more than half a year since school started for others, but you've just started school now. Can you keep up?"
"There will definitely be some discomfort. After all, I took a break for more than half a year after graduating from college. Moreover, it is also difficult. After all, I was an undergraduate before and now I am studying a graduate course. But I am confident."
"It's good to have confidence." Wen Yong'en was immediately reassured.
She walked to a restaurant outside the school and ordered two meals, one for barbecued pork and one for roast goose. When the two of them were eating face to face, she spoke again: "Senior, I always thought that you were from Xiangjiang. Who would have expected that I found out yesterday that you are from Xiangjiang?"
I am from Tsinghua University in the Mainland. I am very curious, what is it like in the Mainland?"
They talk in English and are not afraid of being understood by the diners around them.
One afternoon, Lin Xiaoguang lost no idea how many brain cells he had. He overused his brain and felt very hungry. He was devouring food. He stopped when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then answered: "The mainland...it's hard to say."
"Why can't you tell me?"
"You haven't been there, so it's hard to say. If I tell you, you probably won't understand. I'll take you to see it when I have time. What you hear is false and what you see is true. You'll know when you go there." Lin Xiaoguang buried his head in eating.
