Chapter 903 The Era of Studying Abroad Is Coming
Han Li felt bad when he heard that Principal Wen was looking for him, but he had to go. He could only put a lot of books about his thesis in the teaching and research office, drink a cup of herbal tea and relax Only then did Xia Qi walk to Principal Wen's office, knock on the door and get permission before walking in.
"Principal Wen, please find me."
"Han Li is here, sit down, it's like this. After yesterday's meeting, your supervisor, Professor Zhang**, said that your current English level is very good in terms of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. If it weren't for some conditions and paper restrictions, She can give you your diploma this year.”
Han Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The main reason why he chose to take the postgraduate examination was that he was free and able to fish every day. Moreover, according to the current teaching regulations, he could graduate in "two" years at most after becoming a postgraduate.
Two years, plus the first half of this spring's enrollment, Han Li will only need two and a half years at most to start working.
When the time comes, Mr. Liu will be asked to help assign him to a nursing home, and he will be able to start a life of a cup of tea, a newspaper, and a whole day of salted fish.
Those students who entered university with Han Li still need another year or even two years to graduate. The key is that their diplomas after graduation are not as high as their own, and the levels they are assigned are far inferior to their own. This gap The comparison makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.
But Han Li didn't expect that because of his carelessness, he was discovered by Teacher Niu when he was reading German documents. After that, after a series of operations by Principal Wen that he couldn't understand, he was now forced to become a substitute teacher and teaching assistant for two classes. title.
Although it was only half a year, and more than four months had passed now, no one knew how he got through this period of time.
So when Principal Wen brought up this topic, Han Li immediately felt that the other party was going to dig a hole for him, so he hurriedly said.
"This is all thanks to President Wen and Professor Zhang. I still have a lot to learn. I still have no idea about the history, culture, social system, background, etc. of those English-speaking countries. I don't even have to write a paper now." Know how to cut through.”
Han Li said that President Wen certainly knew that if graduate students in the Department of Foreign Languages want to obtain a diploma, they must not only be able to listen, speak, read, write, and translate, but also collect literature, write papers, and respond to defenses, and Han Li Now I am doing internships for students.
This thesis is the most difficult to write. To select a country, you need to collect a lot of documents and materials, organize them into the written language you want to express, and give them to the instructor. When the instructor is satisfied, he will call in several professors of the same level. Regarding some contents and opinions of this paper for your defense, written records will be kept throughout the process for easy inquiry and to show fairness.
(At this stage, there is no mandatory requirement in China that graduate thesis must be published in some heavyweight newspapers. Of course, if you can publish it, it will improve your reputation and that of the school, which will help you get your diploma.)
Principal Wen waited for Han Li to finish and smiled lightly, took out a document from the drawer and handed it over.
"This is the training opportunity I promised you last time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This training will be held in the Friendship Hall on the fourth floor of the Jing* Hotel on West Chang'an Street. It will start on November 1st and will consist of two sessions, each lasting half a month. Monthly, you can choose any session to participate after arranging your own time.
Instead of reading thousands of books, it is better to actually ask people for advice. The teachers in this training are all foreign friends. While you are receiving training, you can also learn something related to your thesis from them."
This opportunity, which is very precious in the eyes of others, represents an unknown trouble in the eyes of Han Li. If it is not handled well, it may become a big trouble, so he asked reluctantly.
"Thank you, Principal Wen, for giving me this opportunity, but what does this training provide? If I already know the knowledge, why don't I give up this precious spot to others."
Principal Wen had already expected Han Li to say this. Because of many contacts and Han Li's teaching performance during this period, he had already figured out the other person's temperament, so he tapped Han Li with his finger. Said with a smile.
"Han Li, your idea is somewhat behind closed doors. What you learn from the book will always be shallow. If you don't personally participate in some things, you won't know how big the gap is with the book. What if you find out when you use it one day? It was a mistake, and it would be too late to regret it by then.
Moreover, the content of this training is some basic knowledge and basic principles of foreign etiquette, including some ethnic customs, taboos, international practices, protocol, meetings and talks, banquet arrangements, dress requirements, appearance, foreign affairs discipline, etc.
These things may sound very empty, but none of them are useless. Not only can you learn some knowledge about how to deal with the corresponding scenes, but you can also learn relevant historical data from the side of these things, which will have a huge impact on your thesis. benefit."
Han Li walked out of Principal Wen's office with a stiff smile, turned several corners before rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, and finally let out a long breath.
"That's not okay. Although Principal Wen means well, if I keep moving forward at his pace, I won't be able to stop in the past two years. If I don't do it in the future, I will be left to teach at Yanda.
This kind of preparing and lecturing day and night, struggling on a three-foot podium is not the life I want. I have to find a way to interrupt this rhythm, and it can't be too obvious, but this matter is not easy to handle."
It turned out that Han Li had just learned in President Wen's office that according to statistics, less than 100 people can go abroad for further studies each year, and less than 20 people go to developed countries such as Britain, Germany, and the United States for further studies.
Therefore, "that person" pointed out on the issue of sending international students on June 23 this year: "I agree to increase the number of international students. All units should tighten up a little. It is most important to send talents and learn knowledge back. We should send thousands of them, not just ten or eight at a time."
Out of absolute trust in "that person", most universities have been preparing for this matter since that day, and have made every effort to bring up teachers and students who meet the conditions, pass the review, and are excellent in their schools.
Universities with conditions such as Yanda, Huaqing, Fudan, and Jinling have prepared courses similar to the training of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for teachers and students who meet the requirements. Those schools with slightly worse conditions have added foreign language courses for those excellent and qualified teachers and students.
It can be imagined that after this condition was officially announced, the country's history of studying abroad immediately entered a new era.
(At this time, the country does not allow self-funded study abroad, even if the other party is a returned overseas Chinese or a family member of an overseas Chinese. It is not easy to do.)
When Han Li was thinking about how to maintain his life, Liu Lao and his group had already started packing their luggage in Beidai H, especially Song Lao, Zhang Lao, Hou Lao, and Li Lao who were the most active.
If they had not had to go back with the main group, they would have returned to the city a while ago.
After cleaning the streets today, Hao Hongmin's mother in Shanghai received another handwritten letter from [Hao Jianghe] who asked a Hong Kong backpacker to send it.
PS: Sorry, my son finished the high school entrance examination today, and many of his classmates' parents are Mao Sui's classmates and friends, so we had a small gathering of more than ten family members, and drank a little too much, so there is only one chapter today~~~~
Tomorrow, I will make up for it after attending the celebration party of my son's class, and add a few more chapters! ! !
