Chapter 701 The last day of 1981! New Oriental announces foreign language proficiency test results! !
December 31, 1981.
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.
"Minhong, 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 1st.
On December 1, 1981, 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 exam 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 1, 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 is only announced for those who are qualified and above, and there is no list for 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 had been 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 in his hometown 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 is a report card in front of him about the New Oriental Foreign Language Certificate Examination.
This time, only students and teachers from Yenching University took the exam, and there were nearly 10,000 people in total. It can be said that this was a very large foreign language exam.
It was an exam jointly organized by Empire Group, New Oriental Training Institution Company, and Yenching Education Department.
The exam questions were set by Xiangjiang, and the exam papers were also printed and distributed here. Even the pens and papers provided for the exam were all from Xiangjiang. Finally, the exam ended on the morning of December 1st, and all the exam papers were airlifted back to Xiangjiang for grading in the winter.
It took more than 20 days, and after all the exam papers were graded, the scores were finally counted.
Yang Ming did not expect that the foreign language scores of many students from universities such as Peking University and Jinghua University were not as good as he imagined. The fact that they were able to be admitted to such universities actually 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 must be good.
Yang Ming found that among the students who scored full marks in this exam, that is, 1% of the students, there were 10% with scores above 90 points, about 20% with scores above 80 points, and about 40% with scores above passing.
The number of students who failed was actually more than 60%.
It may also be related to foreign language listening.
At this time, many people in China are not very used to foreign language listening.
Unlike Yang Ming in his previous life, he was already very accustomed to it because he often listened to English listening.
Now, looking at this transcript, he knows that New Oriental Training Institution will soon conduct a second round of interviews with those students and teachers who applied for the job. After the interview, they will officially recruit full-time and part-time teachers, and start recruiting students for foreign language training.
Compared with the historical New Oriental training institutions, it is ten years ahead of schedule.
