God is very kind to her: she comes from a scholarly family with both talents and looks, has been engaged in her favorite career and has a happy family. ...

To outsiders, all this is a gift of fate, but the "smooth sailing" teacher Chen Qi still sends out such a feeling that "pressure makes a lady".

One side of the soil and water raises the other. Chen Qi was born in Yantai, Shandong Province, grew up in Weihai, and later moved to Jinan, perhaps because she lived by the sea. Her face was wet with water. When I first met Teacher Chen, I was attracted by her elegant temperament. I always feel deja vu, but I can't remember what I look like. Later, I happened to see Zhang Quanling, the host of CCTV, on TV, and my eyes lit up. It turns out that teacher Chen is just like her, with the same charming smile and noble and elegant temperament.

Maybe many people don't know the word "Peng" in Mr. Chen's name. Every time Mr. Chen introduces himself to the students, he will emphasize: "My name is Peng, not Fan Chen." Once a student came over and asked her, "Miss Chen, is your name Chen Geng?" Teacher Chen said without thinking, "No, my name is Fan Chen, not Chen Qi." This is an interesting episode. Mr. Chen can't help laughing every time he mentions it. Teacher Chen's name "Mao" comes from The Book of Songs. In ancient times, there was a kind of grass. "It's hairy" is to describe how the grass grows vigorously. Teacher Chen's father wanted his daughter to grow up healthily, so he named her Peng.

British and American literature breeds "dream of studying abroad"

Teacher Chen's father was the first master after the Cultural Revolution, but the early intellectuals did not have the conditions to learn English. My father has always wanted to go abroad, but he has been stuck in English, so he pays great attention to English learning after work. When Chen Geng was very young, her father began to teach her English. Among her peers at that time, Chen Geng was ahead in English learning. In junior high school, her English scores were outstanding, and with the care of her teachers, she felt that learning English was a very happy thing.

Influenced by his learned father, Chen Geng also fell in love with reading. Before the sixth grade, most of the books in my father's study were read by Chen Geng, and only Pride and Prejudice made her fondle admiringly. Now there is a book beside her pillow, and she will pick it up and read it almost every night before going to bed, savoring it. Others have a hobby of singing and dancing, and this book is equivalent to my hobby. Author Jane? Everyone described in Austin's book, whether good or bad, has a distinct personality, which makes me full of infinite yearning for life in that world. "

Another book that had a great influence on her was Gone with the Wind. Teacher Chen said with a smile, "Don't you think the love spirit of the heroine Scarlett in Gone with the Wind is very similar to the spirit of New Oriental?" The author was speechless when asked by teacher Chen. She immediately explained, "There are many times when Scarlett is in a desperate situation, but every time she can walk down a blackbird. She is silly and obsessed with Ashley. She used her whole life's experience and feelings to pursue the person she loved. You will think that Scarlett's love is really selfless. In such a difficult environment, she will support this man and family. This spirit is really touching. " In fact, the book Gone with the Wind aroused her inner passion and gave her the idea of going to the United States for further study.

Workplace idealist

Teacher Chen Qi, who was interested in English since childhood, reluctantly gave up what she wanted and chose international finance as her undergraduate course under the intervention of her family. Perhaps influenced by novels, she doesn't like studying finance, but she does well in English-related courses. Among them, she got the highest score of 97 in the course of international settlement. "In fact, this course is quite difficult to learn, but just because the teacher teaches in English, I especially like the atmosphere of teaching in English, so crazy people should learn that course well." At this time, the dream of being a teacher came into being. The teacher who taught international settlement at that time graduated from Fudan University with a master's degree. Chen Geng envied her fluent English. Somehow, she felt that she also wanted to be a university teacher who taught in English.

After graduation, Mr. Chen joined Jinan Branch of China Investment Bank. Of course, top students from famous universities can enter investment banks. I was curious at the time. She gave up her job with such good prospects easily. Why? Teacher Chen said calmly, "I have always been an idealist, now and in the future." Only by doing what you like can you be happy. New Oriental is a place where idealists gather, so I have been in New Oriental since I came back from America, and I am very happy every day. "The author looked at Mr. Chen and talked about the happy smile of New Oriental. I really envy it. I can find a job that interests me and enjoy the fun it brings me. This is the most precious gift that fate has given you.

American podium small test knife

At the beginning of 1999, before taking the GRE exam, Mr. Chen had a class at Beijing New Oriental School. In the first class, she was deeply attracted by Yang Ji, a teacher who taught reading. At that time, she was about to analyze a literary role in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. When the teacher mentioned Jane? Austin, and analyzes the male protagonists in several of her works. "The teacher's analysis just resonated with my understanding, and more importantly, many of his understandings have a lot of transcendence. I immediately raised my admiration for him and found him very knowledgeable. No teacher has ever taught like this before. Different from traditional classrooms, New Oriental's classrooms involve a lot of humanistic knowledge. " Two months' study in New Oriental gave Mr. Chen the greatest gain and guided his outlook on life and values. "It gives me a different view of life and a special desire for knowledge." .

With excellent results, Teacher Chen applied for a full scholarship for TESL major in the English Department of the University of North Carolina in the United States, and began her uneven study abroad life. When I first went to America, I needed to adapt to the differences in language and culture as soon as possible. Under the experience of brothers and sisters, the clever teacher Chen talked with foreigners with the free service number of the credit card. "The customer service department of the American service industry has a rule that customers don't hang up and operators can't hang up. So I often call to' harass' foreigners. " This method is particularly effective. Teacher Chen speaks fluently in three weeks, and it doesn't cost a penny. As she said, "torturing foreigners" is the most effective way to practice oral English.

Teacher Chen applied for a teaching assistant when she was in graduate school in the United States, and often needed to help the tutor with the class. Teacher Chen recalled the first time she stood in class and gave a class to American freshmen. The feeling of "super nervousness" is still vivid: "I'm afraid they can't understand my accent. Fortunately, they can understand all my English, but I am always nervous. That textbook came for 30 minutes, but I was too nervous to realize it for 45 minutes. Later, a classmate couldn't help raising his hand and saying,' Teacher, my next class is about to start. "Can we talk about the rest next time?" "

Although the first class was delayed, the effect of the class was generally recognized by the students. Later, the tutor often asked Mr. Chen to give lessons to freshmen. Although Mr. Chen's initial dream was to become a university teacher, his experience in teaching college students in the United States made Mr. Chen feel that being a teacher was not an easy task. "I am very nervous in every class, afraid of making mistakes, because in the face of a group of American students, their questions are varied, and I am afraid of being asked questions that I can't answer. Their thinking is very advanced and jumping. Although I am fully prepared for every class, the students' strange questions come one after another, which sometimes catch me off guard. "

A beautiful scenery in New Oriental

Teacher Chen came back from America and tried to be a teacher in Guangzhou New Oriental School under the recommendation of a friend. "At first, I was confident. I felt that English was my strong point since I was a child, and I studied in the United States for two years. At that time, I was one of the few' returnees' in Guangzhou New Oriental School. But later, I found that the teachers in New Oriental were far from as good as I thought, and something happened in the first class. "

Because when Mr. Chen was a graduate student in the United States, his major was English education, and the New Oriental classroom still followed the American classroom teaching model, so the students' response in the first class was not very good. All the students who come to class are preparing for the IELTS test. I hope the teacher can talk more about practical knowledge such as exam skills. Teacher Chen's American open classroom can't meet the needs of these students. Teacher Chen smiled and said, "After the first class, I began to think about how to change the teaching methods. I used to think that the classroom in New Oriental can be unconstrained, but now it seems that it should be localized. After all, students have received Chinese education since childhood, and this general direction cannot be changed. "

Different from other teachers' lesson preparation time of 1: 20 (it takes 20 hours to prepare lessons for an hour on stage), Mr. Chen has been training in Beijing for only one week and has entered the cycle stage of "preparing lessons-lecturing-preparing lessons" non-stop. He often prepares lessons until two or three in the middle of the night, and often falls asleep at his desk when preparing for class. "Every time he wakes up, he will find his book. Those days were really like hell. "

Although the class in New Oriental was not very smooth at first, her persistence in teachers and constant love for English made her eager to teach her students what she thought was a good learning method. Slowly, through continuous exploration and efforts, Mr. Chen's class has been widely recognized by everyone. She has a high return rate to school. After class, many students often ask her what other classes she will teach and want to listen to her classes again.

In teacher Chen's memory, one student's behavior impressed her deeply. That is a student in the first book of New Concept English. He is the owner of a garment factory in Dongguan. He never takes notes himself in class, but brings a secretary to help him take notes. The boss raised his hand and spoke enthusiastically when he was alone in class. He likes teacher Chen's class very much. On the day of class, the boss did something that surprised Teacher Chen very much. That day, he drove a van. After class, he dragged Mr. Chen downstairs and said, "Thank you for your education. I really think learning English is a fun thing now, and I will continue to learn it as always. " To thank you, I visually measured your size. I brought a pair of jeans of this size made in our factory. You can choose whatever you want. "Teacher Chen was surprised at that time. She opened the car and saw a car full of jeans. After listening to Mr. Chen's narrative, the author felt very exaggerated. He asked her if she had chosen her favorite pants. Teacher Chen shook his head and said, "It's still not good to accept students' gifts like this, but his actions still moved me." "

There was once a student in a new concept three-volume class who commented on Mr. Chen's class like this: "Every time I go to eat after class, I look forward to the early start of the afternoon class." Every time I think of Mr. Chen entering the class, I will laugh and feel that a very interesting time will appear. After studying for so many years, I want to tell Mr. Chen that' the chair in New Oriental is the only one without thorns'. "

Service-oriented human resource manager

Every year, Ms. Chen will give lectures to college students in Guangzhou New Oriental School at various universities. When it comes to the mission of New Oriental, she is particularly emotional. In fact, different New Oriental people will have different New Oriental spirits in their minds. In her mind, the spirit of New Oriental is the mission of New Oriental: to cultivate the elite who will achieve the next generation and become a bridge between Chinese and Western cultures.

"What kind of person do you want to be, you have to be with these people. When I first came into contact with New Oriental, I was attracted by those teachers, agreed with their educational ideas and admired them for being so knowledgeable. I want to be like them, so I will stay with them. This is the purpose of my coming to New Oriental. "

Every time a new employee is trained, Mr. Chen will also tell everyone that New Oriental is a dynamic group. Everyone is young and has many languages, so we are more cohesive together. This is also an excellent group, everyone is excellent, and the gathering of excellent people is the recognition of this group.

Teacher Chen's focus has now shifted to human resource management. She has been a human resources manager for three years. During these three years, she witnessed the vigorous development of Guangzhou New Oriental School.

There are four people in the human resources department, and Mr. Chen. They are the smallest team in Guangzhou New Oriental School, and they are all "female soldiers", but the workload is not less than other departments. In teacher Chen's view, it is not easy for her "female soldier" team to come all the way. "Three years ago, when I took over human resources, Guangzhou New Oriental had only more than 200 faculty members, but after three years of development, the number has doubled, and now the number of faculty members is close to 500. I can imagine the work pressure of the other three girls in the department. They are really comforting. "

Every time Miss Chen talks about her assistant, she is full of emotion. She is very grateful to these unknown assistants. Everyone has a special tacit understanding when they work. "Many times I really don't have to give them advice, and they can do their work beautifully. They are all self-respecting and conscious girls, and I seldom worry about them. If there is any successful management, it is based on the consciousness of the managed and their own Excellence. Having such a good assistant really saves management costs. "

The human resources department plays two roles, one is the supervisor, and the human resources department is responsible for the attendance of faculty and staff, which is a chilling place in everyone's mind; Second, the wages and benefits of service providers and faculty members are also calculated and distributed by manpower, which is also a place that can bring joy to everyone's hearts. "It is difficult to reconcile these two roles. In everyone's opinion, the human resources department is a relatively strong department, and we are not strong at all. We position this department as a' service-oriented' department, hoping to communicate more with each employee and everyone can understand each other. All the problems in this world are caused by poor communication, so we must communicate more and eliminate the barriers between us, so that the team of Guangzhou New Oriental can always be vigorous and prosperous. " Teacher Chen said this when positioning his role as the manager of the human resources department.

Every time I pass by the human resources office, I can't help but take a look at Miss Chen. She sat quietly in front of the computer and worked silently. Her temperament is charming. Whether she is "moving like a rabbit" or "quiet as a virgin", Miss Chen Can always catches people's eyes. Maybe she was not born with this temperament, but after time and experience, the label of nobility and elegance will always be attached to Teacher Chen.
