First impression

The first time I met Shi Min was in the office of the press team of Chengxinlou News Network. He is not the kind of boy who catches the eye, but he has an unforgettable temperament: he is polite, humble and kind, with a warm smile on his face. His voice is not high-pitched, but there is a kind of confidence and stability in his words. Overall, it feels very comfortable. After a brief exchange of greetings, we began this short but unforgettable interview.

About music

Our interview starts with music. Not long ago, Shi Min, together with other members of the Violin Association of w88 casino, gave a wonderful violin performance at the closing party of the 9th Annual Conference of National Foreign Studies and Foreign w88 Colleges.

“I started learning the violin in elementary w88 casino, so it’s been more than ten years now. ”

This sentence came out of his mouth very easily. But if you think about it carefully, you will know how much hard work and sweat it contains. In his eyes, music does not mean too much, but it is not just an adjustment to life. Whether it's the violin or today's popularR＆B, Shi Mindu did not hide his love for music. Whether it's on the stage facing the music score, or in front of the karaokeOKWith a microphone in hand, this is Shi Min's life - a life that is happier because of music. He also talked about what it was like to be in the Violin Society.

“The number of members of the association is relatively small compared to other societies, and the relationship between them is relatively simple. Everyone cares about each other, helps each other, and gets along happily. ”

Sports and games are generally boys’ favorites. For Shi Min, badminton, table tennis and tennis are all good choices for daily exercise. In the ongoing fierce w88 casino badminton league, Shi Min, as the main force in the men's doubles, helped the English College pass all the way to the finals.

“As for computer games, I usually just play some small games, and I basically have no interest in those large games. "Perhaps this is what makes him look a little different from other boys.

"Talk about yoursTUTORExperience it. ”

"Well, the first feeling is that this is a very interesting job. I had a very good relationship with those students at that time, and some of them are still in contact now. At that time, I mainly introduced them to some social and cultural things in the United States. Of course, I am not the only one who talks about it. Some knowledgeable students will also come to the podium to share their knowledge with everyone. Because there is communication between teachers and students, the class is always very harmonious, and I can't help but feel a sense of pride when I say the last sentence.

When talking about the postgraduate entrance examination, Shi Min said that at the beginning, he did not consider taking the postgraduate entrance examination, but started preparing to find a job. Later, the college took the top six students in the comprehensive grade assessment to take the postgraduate examination, and thenAfterThe teacher made another selection, and finally he was "lucky" to be chosen. He especially emphasized the word "lucky" to reporters. But is it true, as he said, that all his achievements are the result of good luck? Perhaps we can draw that conclusion from his college career.

Life in freshman and sophomore year

Shi Min is from Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. He has been the best in the w88 casino since he was in middle w88 casino. After I came to university, I suddenly found that I no longer had my original advantages. Students in big cities were better than me in terms of overall quality, especially in English. I felt that there was still a big gap between me and others. So he turned pressure into motivation, became very enthusiastic about learning, and insisted on getting up early to study every day.

“Remember usOnce toThe teacher complained that he could not receive itBBC's program. As a result, the teacher said, ‘That’s because you didn’t get up early enough! ’ So I forced myself to get up early, and then it gradually became a habit. I didn’t feel much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel that my efforts at that time will really help me a lot in the future. ”

In addition to study, there are many other colorful places in life. When asked what was the most impressive experience during her freshman and sophomore years, Shi Min thought for a moment and talked about her experience participating in the National College Student Entrepreneurship Competition. It was in the second semester of his sophomore year that he took the professional course "Introduction to Business and Industry", taught by Principal Chen. In the first class, the teacher asked everyone to make a business plan. Later, he happened to come across an entrepreneurship competition, so he and several classmates perfected the plan and submitted it as an entry. As a result, he ranked tenth in the w88 casino preliminaries and entered the city's finals.

“At that time, we were ranked in the top ten in the preliminaries, so we were pretty lucky. Later, I won the third prize in the Beijing finals. I am still very proud when I think about it now. I feel that this is the most important award I have ever won. "Speaking of this, Shi Min showed a bright smile.

The University of International w88 has always been criticized by the outside world for being "too money-oriented and lacking in humanistic heritage." When a reporter asked him what he thought about this issue. Shi Min admitted that there is nothing wrong with following money, but as the so-called gentleman loves money, he must get it in a wise way and use it in a measured way.

"Who doesn't want to make more money in the future? The business atmosphere in the entire w88 casino is indeed strong now, and I also hope to make more money on my own, haha." His frankness was revealed in his open-minded laughter.

Failure and frustration

In the eyes of others, Shi Min has always been a very successful student. Some people even used the term "a great trader" when referring to him. But behind the flowers and applause there is often not only sweat and dedication, but also failure and setbacks. So for Shi Min, who has been along the way, is he really lucky that he has never suffered setbacks and has always had smooth sailing?

"Of course not!" He answered resolutely.

"Let's talk about it. Many readers are very interested in the bitter stories behind successful people!" So, two past events that left a deep impression on Shi Min were picked up from the photo album of his memory and told slowly for us.

In the second semester of his freshman year, Shi Min participated in the election for the presidium of the student union of the college. He was so confident that he lost the election by one vote. This incident made him sad for many days, after all, he had always been the best in middle w88 casino. This momentary gap would be uncomfortable for anyone.

"Then how did you recover later? ”

“It depends on time. At the beginning, I was quite depressed, but as time went by, I forgot about the pain. Speaking of which, I am still a rather forgetful person. In fact, sometimes, it's not a bad thing to forget easily. At least you won't be immersed in the pain of the past every day and can't extricate yourself. ”

The other time was the recent meeting of the twenty finance ministers. Shi Min was selected as a volunteer because of her excellent English. Initially he was assigned to work in the Traffic Coordination Office. But when I got there I was disappointed. Because the meeting had not officially started at that time and was in the preparation and organization stage, there was basically nothing to do every day, just sit there.

“I felt very bored, and they wouldn’t let us leave, which made me feel very depressed during that time.”

After the job adjustment, Shi Min hoped to change to an interesting job. I didn’t expect that my new job would be to “look at the gate”.

“This meeting was held in Xianghe, the first city in the world. There was a square in front of the city, and we were arranged to be on duty there, responsible for welcoming some individual guests. However, I still met some foreign guests. "He smiled helplessly.

"Then do you feel that you are underachieving?"

"Oh, of course. I originally went there with enthusiasm, hoping to serve this conference, but in the end I did something like this……But then I thought about it carefully, if I let others do these things, wouldn’t it be considered an indignity? Everyone came to volunteer enthusiastically, and there was nothing menial about the work. They could exercise themselves and learn something there, which made them feel relieved. ”

Although I have experienced ups and downs on the road to growth, "but overall my life is relatively smooth. Maybe this is the so-called luck."

Learning method

Since he can achieve such great results, Shi Min must have his own method. The reporter asked him to reveal some tips so that his junior brothers and sisters can learn from him. He said: "I don't have any tips. I can only talk about a little experience. In fact, I was just going to say this. I hope it can be of some help to the juniors and juniors, especially the freshmen."

First of all, we must seize the two years of freshman and sophomore year to study.

“Because if you reach your junior or senior year, unless you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you will have very little time to study. After all, the pressure of employment is so great now, and everyone wants to prepare in advance. "According to Shi Min, he basically relied on his hard work in the first two years of college to achieve relatively good results. "Now I am getting lazier and lazier, and I no longer have the passion to get up early to read English. ”

Since he is an English major, Shi Min also talked about some methods of learning English.

In terms of using dictionaries, he usually only consults the dictionary when he encounters more important words in intensive reading texts, but he will carefully write down the detailed explanations and usages and actually apply them in future studies. When doing extensive reading of texts and some reading materials, new words encountered will be skipped as long as they do not affect the understanding of the full text. Constantly searching for new words will inevitably affect your reading speed and grasp of the article, and may even reduce your interest in reading the work. In addition, freshman year is the best time to correct your own pronunciation. You should imitate the standard pronunciation in formal pronunciation textbooks and practice more. If you persist for a long time, you will be able to develop a relatively pure pronunciation. In terms of reading, it is best to read as many original materials as possible and fully explore the resources on the Internet. For example, download the latest English articles from the Internet to read.

“Then will you memorize a vocabulary book?”

“No, maybe that’s a good idea, but it’s not suitable for me. And I feel that I can never memorize all the new words, and I can only accumulate them bit by bit.”

Of course, besides studying, you still have to participate in other activities as much as possible, such as student unions and so on. You have to actively strive for these things by yourself. Opportunities will not sit there waiting for you. When a reporter asked him if he had actively participated in any of these organizations, he smiled and said:

"Maybe it's because I don't like things that are more political. I didn't go to the student union. Some of the things are too complicated for me and difficult to grasp. Even now I feel that I am often stuck in a stick and lack experience in many aspects."

When the reporter asked him if he regretted not participating in these activities in the past? He shook his head and said:

“This should be due to my personality. ”

Epilogue

At this time, the lights are on in Beijing, and our interview is coming to an end. The reporter finally asked Shi Min to briefly describe his college life in the past three years and some plans for the future. He thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said:

“In general, the harvest is quite great, I learned a lot, and my life is very fulfilling. In fact, I have already had the idea of ​​​​going out, but the time is not very mature. Now that I have the opportunity to secure a postgraduate degree, I will study for two more years, and w88 casino is also very good. As for future plans, haha, let’s talk about it then. ”

Out the window, the last ray of sunset has been completely swallowed up by the night. But Shi Min's warm smile bloomed like the brightest sunrise in this dim room……
