4.TheGapbetweentheExperienceandmyExpectations
Asisnotedinthepreviousparagraphs,myworkwasroughlydividedintothethreedimensionsabove:
recruitment,training,compiling.
Chronologicallyspeaking,theinitialtaskofmyworkwastoestablishrecruitmentactivitiesinourschool.Themostconspicuousgapbetweenrealityandexpectationconsistedintheinterferenceoftheforcemajeure.Tobemorespecific,intheprocessofthepublicizingtheevent,thepostersandflyersfailedtoefficientlyreachthetargetaudiencenamelythegirlsintheSchoolofForeignLanguagesduetothefactthattheposterswerealwayscoveredbyothercoloredandvariedpostersorbannersofotheractivities.Further,thesecondcaseoftheforcemajeurewasthetimearrangement.Unfortunately,betweenthefirst-stagepreparationandthedayoftheevent,ashortbreakofQingmingFestivalinterruptedtheproceedingsofthepropagation,therebydilutingthestrengthandeffectsofthepopularization.
Whatfollowedtherecruitmentwasthetrainingandnurturingofthenewteachersandassistants.CountertothereceivedideasthatthegirlsatforeignlanguagedepartmentaretalkativeandhaveagoodcommandofEnglish,therealityis,theproficiencyofEnglish,theirpersonalpreferences,andthepresentationskillsandstyle,allvariedsignificantlyfromeachindividualtoindividual,whichwasindeedaheadacheformetodeviseareasonableandappropriatetrainingscheme.
Ultimately,alsothemostpainstakingly,enormousamountofordealanddifficultiespresentedthemselvesasIplungedintothecompilationofthenewtextbooks.Asisthecasewiththemajorityofintellectuals,asolidcollectionofpublishedmaterialsthatcarrytheirnamesarethesymboloftheirprideandknowledge,thepassporttothepantheonofacademicleaders.Thisfirmlyrootedbeliefplusmyzealforacademicresearch,servedasthecatalystformycompilingthetextbookofEnglishreadingandvocabulary.
