Personal introduction of stegosaurus

Time: May 22, 2008 Source: Beijing New Oriental School

"Hello everyone!" After a simple greeting, Stegosaurus humorously began his opening performance with great personality. He said that when he gave a class to students for the first time, he quipped, "There is a song in Wang Leehom that is tailor-made for himself, and that is' There is a dragon in the Far East'". As soon as the voice fell, the students were overjoyed

In the laughter, Stegosaurus said seriously, "So, I hope you can learn English well and spread China culture seriously. We are descendants of Homo erectus. " In an instant, the applause thundered.

This is Stegosaurus, a big boy who "snubbed" Japanese and "infatuated" with English. He really has an unusual dragon spirit.

Persistent Stegosaurus: Pursuing Dreams in New Oriental

Stegosaurus who studied Japanese became an English teacher? Stegosaurus said with a smile that many people will ask this question. He recalled that in the year of college entrance examination, fierce competition from Beijing Foreign Studies University made him miss his beloved English major and was transferred to Japanese major. Therefore, after four years in college, Stegosaurus never gave up learning English on the basis of trying to learn Japanese well. There were 24 students in the class. Among the few boys, Stegosaurus is still a good student with excellent grades. Therefore, in the later years of New Oriental, Stegosaurus wandered between eastern and western cultures with the temper of Japanese department and the influence of British and American literature, and was witty and humorous in class, so that students could appreciate the infinite charm of culture in the process of learning.

During his stay at Beijing Foreign Studies University, the part-time professor of Crazy English almost ran through his whole college career, which made him proud. He can earn his own money to support his family in his freshman year. Usually, Stegosaurus would spend time learning two languages. On the weekend, he rushed between classes of Crazy English, holding a pointer, taking on the responsibility of a teacher with trepidation, and began his career of preaching and teaching. From a young student to an experienced English teacher, Stegosaurus loved being a teacher and never changed his original dream.

After working hard in Crazy English for five years, Stegosaurus became the highest-level teacher from a small teacher and lived a quiet life. At this time, his friends recommended him to teach English in New Oriental. In a hurry, Stegosaurus didn't hesitate. He resigned, submitted his resume, prepared lessons, gave lectures, and everything was logical. New Oriental, Stegosaurus, has been shocked by its reputation since entering the university, and has always regarded it as the most sacred temple in his heart.

In sunny May, intense interviews and trial lectures made Stegosaurus realize the strictness and cruelty of recruitment in New Oriental. After the interview, Stegosaurus couldn't wait to know the result. He crustily skin of head called New Oriental for advice. At the moment he signed up, a voice came from the other end of the phone. "Who are you?" When did you come for an interview? "Stegosaurus not discouraged, determined to fight New Oriental again.

A few months later, June 5438 +2005 10, after several months of careful preparation, stegosaurus applied for New Oriental again. During that time, he seemed to go through a period of purgatory, seven or eight rounds of interview tests, and finally entered New Oriental as a newcomer who had taught English for five years. Whether it is the English lecture PK for the training of new teachers in Bailuyuan or the free teaching of hundreds of students, Stegosaurus said, "The three-foot platform is the most suitable stage for me. The only occupation I graduated from is a teacher, and this agreement is still going on. "

Standing on the podium of New Oriental for the first time, Stegosaurus had a thrilling start, and now it still has a lingering fear in retrospect. It was the first lesson of Taiyuan New Oriental, and it was also the first lesson of Stegosaurus's career in New Oriental. Before he left, Stegosaurus repeatedly revised his speech and unconsciously forgot the time of the ride. By the time he grabbed his luggage and took a taxi to Beijing West Railway Station, it was too late. Stegosaurus, who was already sweating, went straight to Liuliqiao long-distance bus station under the guidance of friends. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Stegosaurus was lucky enough to catch the penultimate bus to Taiyuan. It was dark all the way and the bus stopped and went. Stegosaurus has been staring nervously at the night outside the window to pray, and finally arrived in Taiyuan on time, not late for class. Stegosaurus was tired. He finished his eight-hour class. He fell asleep on the train back to Beijing.

Since then, Stegosaurus has always arrived early, often an hour early, whether attending classes in the teaching area or attending departmental meetings at headquarters. Although Stegosaurus lived in Tongzhou, he also had a secret not to be late. The closer he lives, the more likely he is to be late. The farther he lives, the more he has to be late. Therefore, Stegosaurus and two other colleagues were nicknamed "Three Musketeers in Tongzhou", and everyone encouraged each other. Now they are famous for arriving early.

King of the children "Dragon Brother": Teachers and students have deep affection.

Today is the third anniversary and two-day anniversary of his first contact with New Oriental. But he has taught more than 100 English classes in New Oriental, with tens of thousands of students, which is all over the world.

Whether teaching the senior high school entrance examination class or the college entrance examination class, the students never respectfully call him teacher, but affectionately call him brother Long, as familiar as brother. Stegosaurus is very popular with this title. He smiled. "His slightly childish face and Shuai Shuai's appearance easily distance him from his children. He is the king of the children. " In fact, this dragon brother is really young. Although he graduated from college only three years ago, he is a senior English teacher with rich experience. He hardly needs to turn over the books when he speaks the composition for the senior high school entrance examination, and he knows everything by heart.

In class, faced with those immature and childish faces, Stegosaurus can't help sharing his life story, his naughty childhood, the care of his mother and teachers for his growth, his courage in facing difficulties and so on with the students. "I just want to use my experience to tell my students that growing up is a happy journey full of ups and downs, hoping to help them avoid detours." Stegosaurus said, this is what the teacher taught me, and I just gave them to these children full of youth and dreams.

Many students who have been teaching have been admitted to ideal universities one by one, and Stegosaurus keeps in touch with them. On weekends, Brother Long likes to take students through the streets and alleys of Beijing and see the ancient civilization of Beijing. He often appears on the badminton court waving a racket to compete with the students. "Even street vendors think that I am not like their teacher, like a buddy." Long talked about going to Tianjin with students once, and he suffered such "unfair treatment".

Although many children are just passers-by in New Oriental, they come from all corners of the country, and it may be difficult to meet again after a farewell, but every short three-day meeting, Stegosaurus always makes every day full of happiness and enrichment. By the end of each class, he was inseparable from the children. Once, he promised to write a short message of blessing to the children. As a result, the podium was immediately filled with handouts more than a foot high. Although the signing hand of Tianlong Jian is sour, his heart is filled with emotion. In the days after leaving, Stegosaurus's mailbox is often filled with greetings from children, recording their little gains in New Oriental classes and happy memories in New Oriental. After reading these letters sent from all directions and recalling those strange students, Stegosaurus always couldn't help laughing, as if the story happened yesterday.

Happy stegosaurus: Love is everything.

Although he is an out-and-out southerner, the landscape in his hometown of Changsha has bred a positive and optimistic Stegosaurus, and people who meet him for the first time can't help but marvel at his standard Mandarin. Stegosaurus explained, "I grew up in the yard next to the railway. People from all over the world pass by here, and various dialects are mixed here, so I learned Mandarin by the way. " Now Stegosaurus's standard Mandarin can be confused with Shanzhai, but once he stuttered when he spoke faster. For stegosaurus, who loves language learning, even if it is difficult, it is necessary to overcome this problem. In the process of being a part-time English teacher, Stegosaurus kept communicating with others, and English stimulated his desire to speak in public. After several years of training, Stegosaurus was able to stand on the platform and speak freely. He was no longer that shy little boy.

Talking about his uneasy growing years, Stegosaurus smiled like a child. "The most grateful person is my mother!" A few days ago, on Mother's Day, Stegosaurus sent a message of blessing to his mother affectionately, thanking her for her love. He said: "Mom has a strong and brave heart under the weak appearance of southern women."

When other children are intoxicated with their happy childhood, their mothers have deep expectations for Stegosaurus, "study hard, receive the best education, and change their destiny with knowledge." In his early years, Stegosaurus set up a great dream in his heart. Stegosaurus has been a good student since primary school. He walked from key primary school to key middle school, then to the best high school in Changsha, and finally admitted to China Huangfu Military Academy-Beijing Foreign Studies University. Facing his smooth student career, Stegosaurus always remembers what his mother said. He can get the first place in the exam and never get the second place.

When I was in primary school, once, Stegosaurus's mother, after a hard day, took the initiative to help her wash clothes after dinner. Who knows, after being discovered by his mother, Stegosaurus was severely criticized. "Mom doesn't want you to wash clothes, so do your homework quickly!" So he had to study hard. Under the strict supervision of his mother, Stegosaurus was far ahead in learning. Now, as soon as he got home, Stegosaurus couldn't wait to help his mother. He felt that he owed her too much.

In the impression of Stegosaurus, my mother smiled the happiest twice. On one occasion, Stegosaurus was admitted to two key high schools in Changsha at the same time. My mother smiled happily and said to Stegosaurus, "Son, I really don't know which school to choose?" When he graduated from high school for the second time, Jianlong was admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University with excellent results. At the parting train station, his mother smiled happily with tears in her eyes.

Because Stegosaurus grew up near the railway, he had many opportunities to travel by train. Along the endless railway tracks, he saw the prosperity of Shanghai, appreciated the heritage of the ancient city Xi and appreciated the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. However, it is not the first time to go to Beijing to study, but Stegosaurus especially wants to cry and secretly wishes that he must learn something and honor his parents. Many years later, Stegosaurus realized that no matter how far he went, home would always be his most concerned place.

However, this good student who used to be a man of the hour on campus also has naughty memories. In the third year, Stegosaurus also sneaked out to play video games. Stegosaurus still remembers a game called "Red Alert". At that time, children rebelled. Stegosaurus was arranged to sit in the front row. The high platform blocks the teacher's view, so he often steals snacks while the teacher is not paying attention, which is quite proud. The most outrageous one was that Stegosaurus made trouble in class and tampered with the teacher's slide projector. As a result, the teacher was angry at the sudden flashing of the slide projector, but no one would have thought that it was the ghost idea of a good student Stegosaurus. Now, as a teacher, Long Caijian realizes that it is not easy to be a good teacher. He often deeply blames himself for his stupid behavior.

Diligent Stegosaurus: Indifferently Harvest Success

Stegosaurus said, "My life is relatively simple. There are two things that have been with me. One is the puppy's balls, and the other is the work log I carry with me. "

As for the work log, it has a long history. After going to college, Stegosaurus's life became busy. He not only carefully arranges the time for class and study, but also stands on the platform of Crazy English at weekends to give lectures to a group of children who are also full of dreams. Such a busy study and work task didn't throw Stegosaurus's life into chaos. During the conversation, he smiled and said, "The house can be a little messy, but life must be in order." It turns out that the secret of his life planning is the thick stack of work logs and life memos.

1 1 Every night before going to bed, Stegosaurus would meditate carefully for a few minutes, and record the things to be completed the next day in a computer file, which was clearly arranged one by one and the time was clearly marked. In order to ensure that the task to be completed is not forgotten the next day, the careful Stegosaurus made a double insurance backup, saved a copy on his USB flash drive and re-written it in the memo of the mobile phone. This way, even if the computer is broken and can't be opened, you won't forget what to do. Go home at night and draw the completed tasks in red. In this way, Stegosaurus can accurately calculate the profit and loss of a day. Stegosaurus will reward itself after completing a very difficult job. If the task is not completed, he will reflect deeply and constantly motivate himself to do better.

Since coming to New Oriental, a passionate team, Stegosaurus felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. Stegosaurus remembers his duty as an excellent New Oriental teacher-teaching English and enlightening life. Hours of lectures in the class require careful preparation by Stegosaurus for several days. He said, "Every lecture has some content that needs to be updated quickly. If you don't work hard, you will be sorry for the students who trust you so much. " In the eyes of Stegosaurus, this seemingly trivial and unremarkable work diary is a treasure to help him establish good living habits.

Over the years, Stegosaurus has accumulated several thick diaries. At the end of each year, he will print out these diaries and bind them into a book, which contains his own New Year's speech and wishes, which is particularly precious and becomes a memorandum to record the ups and downs of his life. Looking back, the seemingly impossible things in the work log were recorded. Stegosaurus worked hard to achieve many things. At this time, a great sense of accomplishment will surround him.

Nowadays, Stegosaurus sells his work log management method to students every class. He encouraged students, "Whether learning English or overcoming difficulties, we should plan our lives carefully. As long as you do what you should do every day and work hard day by day, then success will naturally become a reality. "

Stegosaurus defines success as "doing every little thing well with diligence and welcoming your success with indifference". In class, the students commented that his lectures were sincere, rich in content, relaxed and humorous, and gave full marks of nearly five points again and again. Stegosaurus said, "That's enough. I've succeeded." In New Oriental, Stegosaurus's hard work won the honor of being an excellent teacher in Beijing New Oriental. As the famous host Hu Yihu said, "As long as you work hard, others are not super nearsighted and will definitely see your achievements." It turns out that most successful people have a humble heart.

Stegosaurus, who started learning Japanese, still had many dreams. Maybe he will study in that romantic country with cherry blossoms in full bloom in the future, maybe one day he will become a Japanese teacher, or he will wander around the world with peace of mind. Now, between "looking up" and "looking down" again and again, he continues the dream of New Oriental and looks forward to the moment when the dragon will take off in the future.
