Former New Oriental Luo Yonghao

Application letter from Giant Bull (Lao Luo)

Luo Yonghao wandered the rivers and lakes, first selling used books, then smuggling, dumping medicinal materials, making futures, selling computer parts ... Then he went to Tianjin to live with his sister, wanted to learn English, immigrated to Canada, first studied Xu Guozhang English, took the GRE twice, and heard that New Oriental was good, so he came to Beijing. He bought the English book of the New Oriental teacher, listened to the teaching tape, and took the New Oriental class, thinking, damn it, I can teach, too. After he inquired about the details of New Oriental for the first time, the cat prepared lessons for three months in Xisanqi, a suburb of Beijing, and compiled GRE lesson plans to fill in the blanks. In February 2000, confident, he wrote an unfriendly cover letter to Yu. This letter is unique, and we can see the characteristics of teachers and teaching in New Oriental from another angle, so it is slightly abridged and quoted as follows.

======================================================================

Hello, President Yu:

Let me compare the latest recruitment requirements of New Oriental:

1. Strong English level and standard English pronunciation.

My English level is not bad, and my pronunciation is very standard. I have to admit that my pronunciation is a little worse than that of Mr Wang Qiang. Many people with horrible pronunciation (such as Hao Song and Chen Shengyuan) can also be brand teachers of New Oriental. I don't know why I want this, although I don't have this problem.

2. Bachelor degree or above, English major is preferred.

I really don't like such snobbish conditions, which should have been the requirement of a strong and horsepower school.

3. Rich experience in TOEFL and GRE.

I passed the GRE exam twice.

4. Those who have teaching experience, especially those who have taught the above subjects, are preferred.

After teaching, he was banned by the state for half a year.

5. Clever tongue, strong Chinese expression ability and standard Mandarin.

Not only clever, but also sharp. Mandarin is very standard, except that you don't pay much attention to tongue rolling (if you care, the flat tongue will be mispronounced, so the two evils are the lesser).

6. Strong sense of humor and lively class.

I will make them happy.

7. Have a strong knowledge of life and science, and be able to learn from others in class.

Except for Chen Shengyuan, almost all my teachers (Zhang Xu, Wang) who have taken classes in New Oriental are illiterate. Of course, they are still young. In the final analysis, all the knowledge of Chen Shengyuan is just that people can't see that he has no knowledge.

8. Have modern thinking and inspiring ability, and can guide students to struggle for the future.

New Oriental students are the most cooperative and easy to be encouraged, because their biggest purpose in coming to class is to accept encouragement, which is no problem.

Under 9.40 years old

28 years old.

The following is my resume or self-report:

Luo Yonghao, male, 1972, from Longmen Commune, Helong County, Jilin Province.

When I was a junior high school student in Yanji City, Jilin Province, I gave up some subjects that I hated at that time, such as algebra, chemistry and English. Later, I had to rely on my contacts to get into the best local high school, which was also a rare stain in my 30-year honest career. Because I was incompatible with the education system in China and refused to compromise, I voluntarily dropped out of school from 65438 to 0989 in Grade Two. Sometimes I think that my desire for higher education far exceeds those who have been studying for master's and doctor's degrees since primary school. We all know that Qian Zhongshu got a zero in Tsinghua's math test (actually, it was 15), and that he got a zero in Southeast University in Shandong, and Cang Kejia got a similar score in Shandong National Qingdao University. Does the current university president have such a mind? Of course, it took me many years to find that my article was inferior to Qian Zhongshu's. Fortunately, I finally found it.

After dropping out of school, I have been basically educating myself (of course, my self-education is much earlier than before dropping out of school), mainly with the help of books. Because my family is still reluctant, I was able to study relatively quietly for a few years, "communicating with the spirit of heaven and earth alone."

Based on the understanding that "intellectuals need some money if they want to live with dignity" (in fact, the main reason is that the price of books is getting more and more expensive), I screened sand from 1990 to 1994, set up used book stalls, acted as an agent to attract investment in wholesale markets, smuggled cars, made futures, and sold China aphrodisiac and other supplements in South Korea as a short-term tourist. Embarrassed, all these things I did didn't make me "make any money". In fact, compared with most friends who have struggled, I am glad that I have at least not lost money.

I began to realize that I might not be suitable for business. For an intellectual, this is not an unacceptable thing unless it also means that I will be doomed to poverty.

1In the summer of 994, I found a job in a Sino-Korean joint venture in Tianjin and was sent to South Korea to study spot welding technology of stainless steel metal. 1995 when I returned to China in the summer, unfortunately, my sister was transferred to this company in Tianjin as the deputy general manager. In order to avoid suspicion, I had to find another way out.

1August 1995 to1early 1996, at the invitation of an old classmate who worked in MLM company (Shanghai Yating), he gave me an MLM class for about half a year, which was deeply loved by my classmates. Unfortunately, the state has adopted a policy of banning this controversial business form instead of rectifying it, so we saw that the situation was wrong, and we took the initiative to terminate this business before the compulsory order was issued. Because at that time, I fell in love with western music (all forms except classical music) and probably collected thousands of English records. In order to understand what they are singing, I started to learn English, which I used to hate, while taking MLM classes. I took a basic English class in a local third-rate private English school for three months. Later, because they refused to pay the bonus they promised me under various excuses (I went to court to sue, and the court refused to accept it under various excuses), I had to study by myself again.
