Chapter 9 Different Levels of Needs

"Actually, many of you here are my seniors and sisters.

So when the counselor told me to give me a lecture on studying abroad at Yanda, I was very embarrassed.

I don't think I have the qualifications.

There are qualifications.

After all, in the matter of applying for studying abroad, I have achieved good results, and since everyone here will come to this lecture, they must not have achieved the ideal results in their minds.

Today I want to tell you a little dry stuff here.

Presumably all intermediary agencies will tell you that application documents and recommendation letters are very important when applying for studying abroad.

TOEFL, GRE, IELTS are very important.

It is true that these are very important, but I hope everyone is clear about the purpose behind these things.

Since I haven't applied for a master's degree, I don't know much about master's application.

So here I would like to tell you about applying for an overseas doctorate.

In fact, the above-mentioned things you need to prepare are all to prove two points. The first point is that you have enough ability to be competent for the doctoral work.

A PhD is work, not study.

You need to have output in the corresponding segment, not education.

The second point is that you need to prove that your communication is okay and ok.

Because you are going to study a certain professor's Ph.D., there is a high probability that you will need to help him with some teaching assistant classes.

These teaching assistant classes are mainly recitation classes.

You need to explain to undergraduates the topics assigned by the professor.

At times like this, expression is extremely important.

So all the materials you need to prepare revolve around these two points.

Here is a little secret, the doctoral direction is very important.

You can find out in advance the school you want to go to, which papers a certain supervisor has published, and then ask for a recommendation letter from his collaborators in the Huaguo region when applying.

This will help increase the success rate.

This is like, when a stranger tells you something, you are skeptical in your heart, but when your classmate tells you something, the credibility is higher than that of a stranger.

In addition, when writing the application essay, you can also write some thoughts about the research direction of the professor.”

Zhou Xin still said a lot of dry things.

These dry goods are all explored by the Huaguo international students with their own experience in the major study abroad forums in later generations.

Of course, it was used by Zhou Xin without hesitation.

Some of the so-called high-end customized services for studying abroad in later generations are actually to help you find a professor with a certain status in this field and ask him to write a recommendation letter for you.

European and American colleges and universities are even more advanced. Even colleges like Yale have launched an eight-month master's program for international students from China.

Tuition is also expensive.

Zhou Xin's lecture was well received by the students present. Wang Qiang, who was listening to the lecture in the audience, had a new understanding of Zhou Xin after listening to it.

You must know that Wang Qiang worked as an English teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages ​​of Yanda University for six years after graduating from Yanda University.

In addition, people who learn foreign languages ​​will have more opportunities to socialize. At that time, English corners were all the rage in Yanjing, and Wang Qiang had a wealth of connections in Yanda.

Wang Qiang obtained further information about Zhou Xin through his internal contacts at Yanda University.

Even if Zhou Xin was fluent in the negotiation with Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang didn't think that the other party could perform well in a lecture.

Because facing a person is a completely different concept than facing a group of people.

As a result, Zhou Xin's calm performance, coupled with the fact that there is indeed a good content, won the applause of the students of Yan University present.

"Old Yu is right, Zhou Xin is really talented this week.

Let him come to New Oriental to take classes without any training, just familiarize himself with the teaching materials and he can go to work directly.

A genius is indeed a genius in everything. "

Since he had stayed at Yanda University, he knew how difficult it was to be able to maintain the first place in all exams at Yanda University.

"Student Zhou, I would like to ask, what should I do if the professor is unwilling to ask for a letter of recommendation?"

"Ask another professor. Or if you will never take this professor's class again, you can also try to use the stalking method."

"Junior brother, I also want to apply to Berkeley later. We can exchange an email address. I have some questions to ask you later?"

"Maybe not good, I don't do free one-on-one knowledge sharing."

"I can pay."

"I also don't accept such an inefficient way of making money by paying for one-on-one knowledge.

When you apply, you can ask specialized study abroad agencies, their experience is much richer than mine. "

No matter what age, there is no shortage of people who want to prostitute themselves.

"Junior Brother, hello."

Zhou Xin picked up the paper on the table and wrote a series of letters on it: "This is my mailbox, if you have any questions, you can ask me by email."

The classmate next to him who wanted to ask Zhou Xin hadn't left yet, he immediately turned his head with a question mark on his face: "Why can he have one-on-one for free?"

Zhou Xin: "If you are a good-looking opposite sex, you can also get the same treatment."

All of a sudden, the boy was speechless. Sometimes you are not afraid of losing face, but others are the ones who are embarrassed.

With long hair fluttering, Hupu is a senior who is at least eight points higher, and her face flushes red: "Okay, thank you, junior." The voice is so small that Zhou Xin can't hear clearly.

Wang Qiang sat some distance away, watching Zhou Xin chatting and laughing happily among a circle of people.

Waiting for the students who asked questions to leave one after another, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon, and Wang Qiang stepped forward: "Brother, let's go, brother, please go and have a meal, it is also because you are about to leave Yanda to practice .”

Zhou Xindun feels that people in this era are really simple, so he is always invited to dinner.

When he was at Huaguo University of Science and Technology before, everyone just said hello, and there were very few real treats.

"New Oriental is very good and has great potential for development.

I am very optimistic about you. "

At the dinner table, the topics revolved around Yanda and New Oriental.

In terms of relationship, the two are brothers from different colleges.

It's just that Wang Qiang is a bit older than Zhou Xin.

"Huaguo is in a stage of rapid economic development, according to Maslow's theory of needs, when people's physiological needs are met, they will have higher pursuits.

The business of New Oriental is to meet people's higher needs and cognitive needs. "

Maslow's need theory, which anyone in later generations can tell you a few words, has not been heard by many people in this era.

Wang Qiang never heard of it.

But his intuition told him that this theory is very important, so he was not afraid of embarrassment, and asked: "What does Maslow's theory of needs mean?"

After Wang Qiang came to New Oriental, he worked as an English teacher. Because he was good at teaching and he was an alumnus of the same major as Yu Minhong, so Yu Minhong gradually assigned part of the management work to him.
