Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 770 Yan Bugui's Plan 4

Xu Damao sat on the chair with a leisurely look on his face, his legs crossed leisurely, his body leaning back slightly, and his whole body presenting a very relaxed posture.

He slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath, then slowly blew out a round smoke ring, which drifted slowly in the air, as if carrying his confidence. After blowing out the smoke ring, he spoke slowly, his voice was long and drawn out, with a bit of ridicule and as if he was imparting a secret: "Uncle San, if you want to shine at this seminar and make everyone look at you with new eyes, the key is to firmly grasp the leaders' minds. Think about it, what do school leaders value most all day long? Aren't they innovation and performance! Innovation represents the development vitality and future direction of the school, and performance is a tangible manifestation of teaching results. So, when you speak, you have to emphasize these two points, and make them clear and fascinating, then your speech will definitely be good."

The third uncle sat aside, leaning forward slightly, listening carefully to Xu Damao's words. After listening, he nodded gently, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to flash with approval of Xu Damao's words.

However, he frowned again, a worried look appeared on his face, and he said hesitantly: "Da Mao, I also understand innovation and know it is very important.

But innovation is not something that can be achieved just by saying it. It is not a magic trick that can produce something new with a wave of the hand. I have been teaching in a conventional way for so many years. It is really difficult for me to come up with something new and different all of a sudden using the old methods. As for the grades, the grades of the children in our class are just so-so, mediocre, neither the best nor the worst in the grade. There is really nothing particularly outstanding that can be brought out to talk about at the seminar. I am really in a dilemma. ”

After hearing what the third uncle said, Xu Damao curled his lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. Then he pressed the almost burnt cigarette butt in his hand hard in the ashtray, and the action seemed to be somewhat resolute. Then, he glared at me, revealing a look of disappointment, and raised his voice and said, "Uncle, you are so stubborn. Why don't you know how to adapt? Innovation does not necessarily require a radical change in teaching methods. You don't have to overturn the original teaching methods and come up with some confusing new tricks. You can think from another angle, for example, how to stimulate children's interest in learning. Think about it carefully. If children have a strong interest in learning, they will take the initiative to learn, and you don't have to stare at them and urge them every day. Active learning and passive learning have very different effects. Children take the initiative to explore knowledge, and their grades will naturally improve. You see, this not only reflects innovation, thinking about teaching problems from a new angle, but also is closely linked to grades. It's the best of both worlds, why didn't you think of it?"

The third uncle's frowning brows were now even deeper, and the grooves between his brows seemed to be able to hold a pen. He lowered his head slightly, and one hand unconsciously rubbed his chin. His eyes were a little detached, and he fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, with some hesitation and uncertainty in his eyes, and slowly said: "This idea does make sense. Stimulating children's interest in learning is indeed an important breakthrough in improving grades and innovating teaching methods. But the problem is, how to stimulate children's interest in learning is not something that can be explained in a few words. Behind this is the psychological characteristics of children, family environment, personal preferences and other aspects, which is very complicated. And now everyone is racking their brains to find ways to stimulate children's interest, and various methods are emerging one after another. If my speech is not unique and there are no bright ideas, it will be the same as others. At that time, it will not stand out at all at the seminar, and how can the leaders notice me?" After speaking, the third uncle sighed softly, revealing a trace of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

Xu Damao looked at the sad face of the third uncle and smiled, with a bit of cunning and complacency in his smile. He suddenly leaned forward from his chair, closing the distance between him and the third uncle, as if he wanted to share a top-secret treasure with him. Then, he deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Third uncle, I tell you, you can add some stories to your speech. Think about it, you have been teaching for so many years, you are an old soldier who has been fighting on the education front for decades, and you must have encountered a lot of interesting things. Those interesting and touching stories that happened between you and your students are like shining stars, hidden deep in your memory. You carefully selected these stories and cleverly interspersed them in your speech, and the effect will be very different. When you are speaking, others may be talking about theories dryly. , and methods, but you can tell stories vividly and interestingly, just like injecting a stream of fresh water into a boring academic report, which can instantly attract everyone's attention. Leaders listen to those serious speeches all day long, and their ears are almost callused. Your unique way of speaking makes them happy and they may be impressed by you. When the time comes to evaluate the best, they may even give you more consideration. "While talking, Xu Damao gestured with his hands and feet, as if he had seen the scene of the third uncle shining at the seminar.

The third uncle's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, like a shooting star across the night sky, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He sat up slightly, stared at Xu Damao, and said excitedly: "This is a good idea! I have taught for so many years, and there are indeed many interesting things between me and my students. Those children's innocent smiles and mischievous actions still make me feel very warm when I think about them now. Adding these stories to my speech will definitely make my speech warmer and more appealing. But I still have some concerns. Will adding these stories make it seem too informal? The seminar is a serious occasion. Everyone gathers together to discuss major issues in education and teaching and propose practical solutions. The leaders sitting below must hope to hear rigorous, professional and in-depth speeches. If I tell a lot of stories, will they think that I am not rigorous enough and don't focus on the business?" As the third uncle said, the enthusiasm that had just been ignited gradually cooled down, and a trace of worry reappeared on his face.

Xu Damao waved his hand carelessly, with an indifferent expression on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a bit of ease and casualness, and said: "Uncle, you are just using old ideas. What era is it now? Educational concepts are constantly being updated. What matters now is to combine education with entertainment. Whether in the classroom or in various education-related occasions, we can't just talk about those dry principles. Think about it, those principles are like a bowl of soup without salt. It tastes bland and tasteless. Who would want to listen? Even in such a serious occasion as a seminar, everyone hopes to hear something fresh, interesting and inspiring. Adding stories to it is like giving this bowl of soup some flavor. Adding a pinch of salt can make your speech more interesting. In this way, your speech will be more approachable, just like sitting around and chatting with everyone, making people feel friendly and natural, and it will be easier for everyone to accept your views and ideas. Besides, you are not just telling stories. In the process of telling stories, you can cleverly introduce your educational philosophy and methods. For example, you tell a story about overcoming learning difficulties with your students. After the story is finished, you can talk about how you usually guide students to face difficulties and cultivate their perseverance. Isn't this the best of both worlds? It makes the speech lively and interesting, and covers all the educational content you want to express. "

After listening to Xu Damao's words, the third uncle's eyes, which were originally a little hesitant, gradually became firm, but there was still a trace of caution on his face. He lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, as if thinking about how to perfectly combine the story and the speech. After a while, he slowly raised his head, a hint of approval in his eyes, and then he slowly nodded and said: "Da Mao, your idea is really reliable. I have been teaching for so many years, and I have indeed accumulated a lot of stories between me and my students. These stories contain some of my thoughts and insights on education. However, it is not an easy task to cleverly integrate these stories into the speech and ensure that they can reflect my educational ideas, and not just for the sake of being interesting. I have to think about it carefully. For example, the choice of story must be representative, and I can't just pick one and put it on; the story must be told skillfully and attract the attention of the audience; and my educational philosophy must be introduced in the right place, so that the entire speech is logically coherent and well-structured. This requires me to spend some time and energy to carefully design it."

Xu Damao looked at the Third Uncle thinking seriously, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. He smiled and stretched out his hand, gently patted the Third Uncle's shoulder, and the gesture was full of encouragement and support. He said: "Third Uncle, you can think about it with confidence. You have been working in the education industry for so many years, you are experienced, and you are so smart, you will definitely be able to do this beautifully. Just conceive according to your own ideas and incorporate all your teaching wisdom into your speech. If you have any questions during the preparation process, whether it is the choice of story, the storytelling skills, or how to introduce educational concepts, feel free to come to me, I promise to tell you everything I know. Let's work together to make your speech shine at the seminar and impress your leaders and colleagues."

The third uncle stood up suddenly, as if he was injected with a fresh force. His figure was straight and excited. He held Xu Damao's hands tightly and forcefully, and his hands turned slightly white because of the force, as if he was afraid that this precious help would disappear if he let go. The third uncle's eyes were full of gratitude, and his eyes were like a warm fire, sincere and fervent. He said in a trembling but sincere voice: "Da Mao, thank you so much today. The few words you just said, to me, were like a bright light that suddenly lit up in the darkness, pointing me in the direction. My heart was originally like a mess, but after your words, it suddenly became clear. Don't worry, when I have carefully prepared my speech, I will definitely thank you. When the time comes, I will treat you to a good meal, and we will have a couple of drinks and not leave until we are drunk!"

Xu Damao looked at the excited Third Uncle and smiled brightly. The smile was like a flower in full bloom in spring, bright and kind. He gently patted the back of the Third Uncle's hand and said, "Third Uncle, you are too polite. We all live in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. It is only natural for us to help each other. Don't be so polite to me. Go back and prepare well, and incorporate your wonderful stories and unique educational ideas into your speech. I can't wait to listen to your brilliant performance at the seminar. By then, you will definitely make everyone give you a thumbs up."

The third uncle said goodbye to Xu Damao with full gratitude and excitement. He walked briskly, as if he was stepping on a spring, and every step was full of energy. Along the way, his thoughts were like a wild horse running wild on the vast grassland. His mind kept emerging with those interesting stories with students, and those stories were like wonderful movies, playing one by one in his mind. There were warm scenes of students being naughty in class, and finally realizing their mistakes and trying to correct them under his guidance; there were exciting moments when students worked together at the sports meeting and fought hard for the honor of the class; there were also heartwarming scenes of students quietly sending him blessings and small gifts when he was sick.

These stories were like bright stars, shining in his heart and filling him with confidence. He seemed to have traveled to the scene of the seminar and saw himself standing on the podium, full of energy and speaking eloquently. His voice was loud and passionate, and every word was like a beating note, attracting the attention of everyone in the audience. The leaders sitting in the front row nodded frequently, with approving smiles on their faces, which was like the greatest affirmation and encouragement to him; his colleagues cast envious eyes, which were full of admiration and praise. He was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his steps became more firm and powerful. He walked quickly towards home, ready to start a wonderful journey of carefully preparing a speech.

After returning home, the third uncle could not wait to sit down at the table, pick up a pen, and carefully record in the lesson plan book. He sorted out Xu Damao's suggestions one by one, and then combined his own teaching experience to start thinking about the framework of the speech. Sometimes he wrote furiously, sometimes he stopped to think, and sometimes he revised the content while talking to himself.

Before he knew it, the sky gradually darkened and the lights outside the window came on. Uncle San was completely unaware and immersed in his own world. Until He Yuzhu came in with a bowl of steaming noodles and said, "Uncle San, you've been busy all afternoon, eat something first."
