Zhou Chenggang's story is just a legend.
If he didn't say it himself, no one would have imagined that the senior vice president of New Oriental, a former BBC reporter, only got 30 points in high school English.
However, it is such a student who used to be inconspicuous in the eyes of teachers and classmates. After entering the university, through his own efforts, he not only became an English teacher, published many English monographs, but also went to Australia to study and became a BBC reporter.
How did he do it?
Interest is the best teacher. In the interview, Zhou Chenggang mentioned this old saying many times. But not everyone is naturally interested in English. Zhou Chenggang is no exception. "I didn't like English at first." Zhou Chenggang admits that the worst lesson in high school is English. "It's good to get 30 points in every exam."
But after going to college and entering the English Department, Zhou Chenggang realized that he had to change his dislike of English. "I will force myself to study. Learning to learn, knowing more, the teacher began to praise me in class. For the first time, I felt that learning English was good. At that time, there were not many foreign language translations. If you learn English well, you can read the original novels directly and get in touch with others first. I feel particularly proud. "
In this way, Zhou Chenggang changed from hating English to liking it. Slowly, he doesn't have to force himself to recite words, read grammar and listen to tapes. "Because contacting English every day has become a living habit like washing your face and brushing your teeth."
Speaking of which, Zhou Chenggang felt that he was short of resources to learn English in the 1980s. Borrowing an English tape and going to the library to grab an original English book would make him happy for a long time. Not as convenient and diverse as it is now. Students can find the one they are most interested in to break through. Like him, if he persists for a period of time and develops the habit of learning English, learning English will no longer be a chore.
