“Actually, many of you here are my seniors and sisters.
So when the counselor asked me to give a lecture on studying abroad at Yanda, I was very embarrassed.
I don't think I have the qualifications.
I do have the qualifications.
After all, I have achieved good results in applying to study abroad, but since all of you here will come to listen to this lecture, you must not have achieved the results you want.
Today I want to tell you something interesting here.
Presumably when applying to study abroad, all agencies will tell you that application documents are very important and letters of recommendation are very important.
TOEFL, GRE, and IELTS are very important.
Indeed these are important, but I hope everyone understands the purpose behind these things.
Since I have never applied for a master's degree, I don't know much about applying for a master's degree.
So here I would like to tell you about applying for an overseas PhD.
In fact, the above things you need to prepare are all to prove two points. The first point is that you have enough ability to be competent at the doctoral level.
A PhD is work, not study.
You need to be productive in the corresponding niche, not to receive education.
The second point is that you need to prove that your communication is okay and OK.
Because you are studying for a doctorate degree from a certain professor, there is a high probability that you will need to help him take some teaching assistant classes.
These teaching assistant classes are mainly exercise classes.
You need to explain the topics assigned by the professor to undergraduates.
At this time, expression is particularly important.
So all the materials you need to prepare are centered around these two points.
Here is a little secret. The direction of the doctoral stage is very important.
You can find out in advance about the school you want to go to and what papers a certain tutor has published, and then ask for letters of recommendation from his collaborators in China when applying.
This will help improve the success rate.
This is like if a stranger tells you something, you are suspicious in your heart, but if your classmate tells you something, your credibility is higher than that of a stranger.
In addition, when writing the application essay, you can also write down some of your thoughts on the professor’s research direction..."
Zhou Xin still said a lot of useful things.
These useful information were discovered through personal experience by overseas Chinese students in major study abroad forums in later generations.
Of course, Zhou Xin used it without hesitation.
Some of the so-called high-end customized services for studying abroad in later generations actually help you find a professor with a certain status in the field and ask him to write a letter of recommendation for you.
European and American universities are even more advanced. Even universities like Yale have launched eight-month master's programs specifically for Chinese students.
Tuition is also very expensive.
Zhou Xin's lecture won unanimous praise from the students present. Wang Qiang, who was listening in the audience, had a new understanding of Zhou Xin after listening to the lecture.
You must know that after Wang Qiang graduated from Yanda University as an undergraduate, he worked as an English teacher in the Foreign Languages Department of Yanda University for six years.
In addition, people who study foreign languages will have more opportunities to socialize. At that time, English corners were all the rage in Yanjing, and Wang Qiang had rich connections at Yanjing University.
Through his internal connections at Yanda, Wang Qiang obtained further information about Zhou Xin.
Even if Zhou Xin answered questions fluently during the negotiation with Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang did not think that the other party would be able to perform well in an occasion such as a lecture.
Because facing one person and facing a group of people are completely different concepts.
As a result, Zhou Xin’s calm performance and the informative content won applause from the YSU students present.
"Lao Yu is right, this Zhou Xin is really a talent.
For him to come to New Oriental to take classes, he doesn't need any training. He can just get familiar with the teaching materials and start working directly.
Geniuses are indeed geniuses in everything. "
Since he has stayed at Yanda, he knows how difficult it is to stay first in all exams at Yanda.
"Student Zhou, I would like to ask, what should I do if a professor asks for a letter of recommendation and the other professor is unwilling?"
"Ask another professor. Or if you will never take this professor's class again, you can also try to stalk him."
"Junior brother, I also want to apply to Berkeley later. Can we exchange email addresses? I have some questions to ask you later?"
"That may not work. I don't do free one-to-one knowledge sharing."
"I can pay."
“I also don’t accept such an inefficient way of making money through one-to-one knowledge payment.
When you apply, you can ask specialized study abroad institutions. They have much more experience than I do. "
No matter what era, the most indispensable thing is people who want to have sex for free.
"Hello, junior brother."
Zhou Xin picked up the paper on the table and wrote a string of letters on it: "This is my email address. If you have any questions, you can ask me via email."
The classmate next to him who just wanted to ask Zhou Xin hadn't left yet. He immediately turned around with a question mark on his face: "Why can he get one-on-one for free?"
Zhou Xin: "If you are a good-looking person of the opposite sex, you can also get the same treatment."
All of a sudden, the boy was choked and speechless. Sometimes you are not afraid of being embarrassed, but it is others who are embarrassed.
The senior who had long flowing hair and was at least eight points taller than Hupu, her face suddenly turned red: "Okay, thank you, junior brother." The voice was so soft that Zhou Xin couldn't hear clearly.
Wang Qiang sat some distance away, watching Zhou Xin chatting and laughing among a circle of people.
After the students who asked the questions started to leave one after another, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. Wang Qiang stepped forward and said, "Junior brother, let's go. Senior brother, please give me a massage. It can be regarded as practice for you to leave Yanda soon." .”
Zhou Xin suddenly felt that people in this era were really simple and would treat him to dinner at every turn.
When he was at Huaguo University of Science and Technology, everyone was just talking about it, and there were very few real treat times.
“New Oriental is very good and has great development potential.
I'm very optimistic about you. "
At the dinner table, the topic revolved around Yanda and New Oriental.
From a relationship perspective, the two are fellow seniors in different colleges.
It’s just that Wang Qiang is a bit older than Zhou Xin.
“China is in a stage of rapid economic development. According to Maslow’s demand theory, when people’s physiological needs are met, they will have higher pursuits.
New Oriental's business is to meet people's higher needs and cognitive needs. "
Anyone in future generations can talk to you about Maslow's needs theory, but not many people in this era have heard of it.
Wang Qiang had never heard of it.
But his intuition told him that this theory was very important, so he was not afraid of being embarrassed and asked: "What does Maslow's need theory mean?"
Wang Qiang came to New Oriental as an English teacher. Because he taught well and was an alumnus of the same major as Yu Minhong, Yu Minhong gradually assigned some of the management work to him.
