Chapter 194 Proofreading: Bill Gates
Not only a few people in the study group, but all the classmates in the class have changed their impression of Lu Yiming.
"It seems that Lu Yiming's perfect score in English was not entirely due to luck."
"Is it true what the head teacher said about his English being amazing? He can even design dialogue scenes, isn't that amazing?"
"This guy has made such great progress in just a few months. How did he learn? According to his current rate of progress, if he studies for another year, he will probably be able to get a bachelor's degree."
"No, I have to ask him for advice on how to improve my academic performance. I also want to get into a good university."
In the era when there were not as many college students as there were cows, getting into a university was a matter of honor for the family. Not to mention 985 or 211, even if you could get into a junior college, it meant that you would have a stable job after graduation.
In the 1980s and 1990s when the college entrance examination was just resumed, it was truly like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge.
It's nothing like the 1920s of the 21st century, when a technical college was considered a university and as long as you were not an idiot and had hands, it would be fine - well, some people didn't have hands.
Although Lu Yiming wanted to be a nobody, since he had already accepted the job, he did not do it perfunctorily . He consulted some materials, combined with the learning methods and usage scenarios he learned before his rebirth, and spent two days, using the thinking of a programmer, to write an English scenario dialogue tutorial.
In this tutorial, the conversation content covers greetings when meeting for the first time and making friends, as well as currency exchange and shopping when traveling, and daily life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In each chapter, Lu Yiming listed as many usage scenarios as possible. For example, in the communication chapter, the focus is on what to say and do when visiting a school for an exchange; in the shopping chapter, there are also small scenes such as shopping in a mall and eating in a restaurant.
When the last character was written, Lu Yiming looked at the notebook which was as thick as three exercise books, stretched his body and said to himself: "If anyone can recite all of this fluently and apply it flexibly, there should be no problem in daily communication in English. At least when going abroad, you won't be suffocated to death."
After checking carefully and finding no problems, Lu Yiming directly entered all the articles into his newly purchased home laptop.
But since you have done it, you must try your best to do it to the best of your ability, so as not to waste your hard work.
I need to find a professional to help fill in the gaps, but who should I find?
Sun Jiatong?
Lu Yiming thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea. Although Sun Jiatong was an English teacher, her actual English level was just so-so. After all, if she was really good, she wouldn't have to come to school to teach.
Then Lu Yiming remembered that he hadn't talked to Comrade Gates for a long time.
After all, the other party "sponsored" his international friend. Although he did not do it voluntarily, was Lu Yiming the kind of person who was ungrateful?
He immediately found the personal email account that Bill Gates had left for him, packaged the files and sent them directly, along with a letter.
"Dear Mr. Bill Gates, this is the English learning material I compiled for my high school classmates. I hope you can help me find the grammatical and spelling errors in it, just like I helped you find the loopholes in the Windows 98 system and patched them for you. Please give me a reply within 24 hours. We may have a chance to cooperate in the future."
Although Lu Yiming had no problem speaking English, he was not a citizen of a pure English-speaking country after all, so it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in the details of the content. So Lu Yiming thought of Bill Gates, the big boss, and sent the article directly to him, asking Bill Gates to help revise it.
Bill Gates almost had a cerebral hemorrhage when he saw the content of Lu Yiming's email.
I’m the richest man in the world, and I’m going to help you correct your homework?
Wouldn't people laugh to death if you tell them?
Bill Gates wanted to delete the email immediately.
But after reading Lu Yiming's message, he calmed down.
The last time Lu Yiming found a loophole in the Windows system and extorted three hundred thousand US dollars from him was still vivid in his mind.
Later I heard that even a big villain like Soros had suffered losses in Hong Kong.
God knows what bad ideas this guy is up to.
etc?
cooperate!?
Gates still admired Lu Yiming's abilities. Compared with the benefits and advantages that cooperation might bring, correcting homework seemed less unacceptable.
After all, money is the lifeblood of capitalists.
"Ginny, come in for a moment."
Just as he finished speaking, the charming Ginny walked in and bowed slightly respectfully: "At your service, Mr. Bill Gates."
Bill Gates forwarded the email from Lu Yiming to Jinni, and then said, "I sent you an email. Please modify it according to the above content and send it back to me."
"Yes, sir."
Ginny returned to her workstation and was stunned when she saw the email forwarded by Bill Gates.
Is this the guy from Xia country?
What a courage!
Ask Mr. Bill Gates to help revise the article?
What do you think?
The most amazing thing is that Mr. Bill Gates actually agreed?
ohmygod!
Although she couldn't figure it out, since it was a task assigned by Mr. Bill Gates, Ginny still did her best and spent half a day to handle it.
"There are very few grammatical errors, and most of the words are common and easy to understand. These are actually written by a young man from Xia Country? Unbelievable. Aren't there very few people who know English in Xia Country? Legend has it that people there are illiterate, and both men and women have a big braid on their heads and wear clothes that seem to be made of curtains... It's really chilling to think about it."
Half a day later, Ginny sent the revised manuscript to Bill Gates.
After receiving it, Bill Gates forwarded it to Lu Yiming.
After receiving the document from Bill Gates, Lu Yiming happily replied by mail: "Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal next time I'm free."
Taking the revised document, Lu Yiming did the typesetting and then designed a beautiful cover.
It says:
English Daily Use Manual
Translated by Lu Yiming.
Proofread by Mr. Bill Gates, President of Microsoft.
Lu Yiming paid for the printing of ten copies out of his own pocket, took them to the classroom the next day when he went to school, and distributed them to the members of the English mutual aid group.
"Here are some English scenes I wrote. You should memorize them first, and then practice by forming teams according to the characters in them. When you can adapt to circumstances and use them flexibly, it should be enough to cope with the competition."
Everyone gathered around and looked at the book in Lu Yiming's hand.
“Is this the English dialogue scene you wrote?”
“Isn’t this too fast?”
“It’s even made into a book.”
Everybody came and got the books.
Even those who did not sign up for the competition were a little envious.
What does it mean for a student to write a book by himself?
Li Zhengkai reluctantly picked up a book and was instantly attracted by the name of Bill Gates on the cover.
He scoffed, "Bill Gates personally proofread it for you? You're bragging without paying taxes, right?"
At this moment, the Internet is not yet well developed, and the channels for obtaining news on the Internet are very limited. It is difficult for people in the mainland to obtain the latest news from abroad.
However, Bill Gates' name is known to everyone, especially among young people.
Therefore, when Li Zhengkai saw Bill Gates' name on the book written by Lu Yiming, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
