Chapter 67 Mr. Xu, who has been entrusted with the important task (catch the ducks on the shelves)
As a student, especially a struggling senior in high school, December means entering the intense review stage before the final exam.
The upcoming final exam is not only a final exam, but also the first big simulation before the college entrance examination.
As a teacher, especially a senior high school teacher, this month is also the most stressful.
Xu Suizhu published eight papers in a row and checked twice a week. The entire December paper task was completed.
But I still feel it’s not enough.
The English skills of this group of students are really poor.
Obviously he is already a senior in high school, and his English foundation may not be as solid as those who were promoted to junior high school in later generations.
Just when she was hesitating whether to publish a few more papers to strengthen her review, a batch of student tutoring materials that Editor Wu helped her arrived in the mail.
Two heavy bags of marijuana were distributed to the senior high school students, so they only had two books - one was an analysis of error-prone high school English questions, and the other was a complete review of English for the college entrance examination.
However, if you can master these two review materials thoroughly, it will be enough for the college entrance examination.
It is suitable for students facing the college entrance examination next year.
Principal Chi was extremely surprised.
He heard from the principal of No. 5 Middle School that these two reference books were indeed good, but there was no way to buy them. If he wanted to buy them, he could only buy them from the bookstore.
But bookstores are so expensive. Even for school purchases, they will give you a 50% discount at most.
For example, No. 5 Middle School was given a 10% discount because an acquaintance worked in a bookstore.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Xu solved this problem without saying a word - directly asked the publishing house to get the goods. The price was as low as 40% off, and they were mailed to the school. The service was more considerate than that of the bookstore.
Principal Chi's face was filled with chrysanthemum folds with joy, and she repeatedly praised Xu Suizhu as the lucky star of the town - ever since she joined the big family of the town, everything has been smooth sailing.
I immediately decided that I would give Xu Suizhu a big red envelope at the end of this year.
Xu Suizhu didn't know what the principal was thinking. She was busy opening the other two mail packages.
It's a little smaller than the two large packages of student guidance books, one is a bit heavy, and the other is quite lightweight.
The addresses are all from provincial capitals. The sender of the relatively heavy small parcel has the surname Wang, and the other parcel is simply blank. Who could it be?
Opening it up, we found that what was contained in Wang's parcel was two sets of brand-new teachers' lesson preparation books and a mimeographed simulation volume.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a regular mock exam from the Provincial No. 1 High School in the past five years, complete with Chinese, Mathematics, and English.
Xu Suizhu was overjoyed. What a good thing!
It's much more useful than the practice papers she posted.
After all, the Eight Classics of Provincial Key High Schools were used for the unified examination, unlike the papers she gave, which were all based on the weak areas of her own students.
After notifying the principal, he collected the pile of information.
Nowhere is it as safe as your own system package.
Another relatively light parcel contained two boxes of high-end looking pastries and a box of wine-filled chocolates. Chocolates are still a rare commodity these days and are not cheap. There is also a set of baby clothes, which are made of pure cotton and feel good to the touch.
exquisite.
When Xu Suizhu borrowed the phone number in the principal's office to reply to Editor Wu, he asked her if she knew anything about it.
"Oh, you're talking about the mock papers and teachers' books for the provincial first-grade high school? Those must have been found for you by Lao Shao... surnamed Wang? They should have been mailed by her son. She told me last time that when I look back,
I was so busy that I forgot to write to you. Just received it. Now you feel at ease? There is also a package? Baby clothes and food? Then I don’t know. If it is from Lao Shao, there is no reason to pack it separately.
Ah, isn’t this a waste of postage! Could it be one of your friends who sent it? By the way, Xiao Xu, can you send me a few more manuscripts at the end of the month? It’s all up to you to keep up the facade!”
Xu Suizhu couldn't even laugh or cry.
The dignified Provincial Normal Publishing House is actually waiting for her to support its appearance. Who will believe it?
However, this is indeed the case.
If an English weekly wants to establish a firm foothold among similar periodicals across the country, it cannot do without some useful information.
Unexpectedly, we invited a retired translator from the Foreign Language Research Press to write for him in advance. Unexpectedly, just after the first issue was published, the writer fell ill and was hospitalized, so he would not have the energy to contribute for a while.
It's like losing the chain at a critical moment. If publication is suspended due to insufficient submissions, the publishing house will make a big fool of itself in the industry.
Fortunately, Xu Suizhu's manuscript can be uploaded directly without modification, but two or three articles per month are not enough. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will rush the manuscript.
Xu Suizhu had no choice but to agree to her and try to send more articles this month.
"Don't worry, I will get you the maximum value for your royalties." Editor Wu assured, patting his chest.
Xu Suizhu chuckled: "Okay, then I'll thank you first!"
If the remuneration is sufficient, you will be motivated when you are busy!
December came to an end with the rhythm of repeatedly reviewing students, giving lectures, grading papers, and writing an English manuscript in three to five days.
Oh, during this period, I was also asked by the principal to make plans for the annual New Year's Day cultural performance.
The annual New Year's performance is the highlight.
Each high school has a program, which is performed at the county auditorium on the last day of the calendar year.
In addition to the leaders of each school, the guests present also include officials from the county education bureau. They also have to judge the awards after the event, so we can't act carelessly.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of teachers and funds, the town's performances have either been a group singing a popular song or seven or eight girls dancing a half-hearted dance to the music. This has been the case every year, with nothing new, so I have never expected to win an award.
return.
Whether or not you can win the award is a secondary matter. The key is not to lose face in the town and leave a bad impression on the leaders.
Therefore, every year at this time, the teachers and students in the town are like taking a shot. They review and prepare for exams during the day and have to stay and rehearse after school.
After receiving the notice of the cultural performance this year, Principal Chi said hello to Xu Suizhu.
This means that she has gone to college in Haicheng for four years and has a wide range of knowledge. If she has any good suggestions, please suggest a new program this year so that the leaders of the Education Bureau can see that the middle school students in the town are also constantly moving towards the town.
The schools are close together and strive to develop in an all-round way.
Xu Suizhu was entrusted with an important task for no apparent reason, and she felt worried in her heart.
It is true that she was a top student in her previous life, but literature and art were not among her specialties. However, she received the earnest look from the principal and could not bear to attack him.
I had no choice but to scratch my head and ears and think of plans.
Back in the office, a familiar song was playing on the radio. After humming along with the melody, the host introduced that it was from the first commemorative album "Youth on Fire" released by Taiwanese singer Zhang Yusheng as the lead singer of the band "Metal Boy".
The title song of "My Future Is Not a Dream" is currently on the new song charts.
Xu Suizhu's eyes lit up.
The next day, I went to the principal and expressed my thoughts.
Principal Chi really had no interest in singing and dancing, but out of his unconditional trust in Xu Suizhu, he waved his hand and let Xu Suizhu make arrangements.
Xu Suizhu burst into tears. Yes, he was doing something for himself again.
