Why

He didn't sleep well

Doesn't looks like it

He is the one too harsh to himself

Maybe that's "Stage Fright"

Impossible

He never had this before

You haven't seen him for years

I cleared myself

No body knows America more than me

I won't do any large lecture anymore

I will do the one-on-one interview for visa, mock interview

Oh yeah, if who wants go to U.S, they must get through...

The NEW DREAM

As for the speech phobia

No one metioned it again

As it never happened

I don't understand

What's the matter with your girl friend related to your visa being jejected

She hurt me

She metioned break up with me only in a month after she arrived in U.S

That's good

That means she didn't cheat you

She could tell you about this after a year

Let's talk about your visa being rejected

It shows the reason you being rejected

because they think you have the tendency of immigrants

I don't want to immigrants

Even they give me that chance

But no matter how I tried to explain they just didn't listen

Well, since you have no tendency of immigrants

Why you wrote this on the application form

The purpose you go to U.S

for increase revenue

I was telling the truth

Everyone knows that in the America you can easily earn more than in China

Right

If the applicant has any sign

shows the purpose he want to go to U.S

Not only for receive the education

It would be denied

You haven't even thought of this

means you don't know America

You blame your girlfriend means you don't know women

Long story short, You don't know yourself

Go back to modify the application form

Mr Meng

Thank you very much!

Next

Let me tell you

The visa officer wants to see

active and enthusiastic students who eager to talk

You can't even speak clearly

Second day

The line of the students who came to join Meng Xiaojun's mock interview

Has been discharged into the street

Do you think Americans are easy to fool?

Can't you talk?

If you keep crying, I can't teach you anything

You should show the momentum as a green card is a piece of toilet paper

Even too hard to wipe your ass

Today

The one who take Meng Xiaojun's interview is Wang Yang

Your moive methods of teaching

has slow effect

No structure

Have you ever thought

Why your oral english is better than me?

Why?

Because you are the only one used to got American chicks

Are you still contact with Lucy?

Non of your business

You think you can also guide me?

You know what is the core of the English

It's not expression

But logical thinking

You know what Americans think

So you speak like Americans

Teach this to your students

No other people can do this

One student came to ask me

I have correct oral english

Correct grammar

Huge vocabularies

I can easily read the "China Daily"

Better than read the "Beijing Evening News"

If that means I have good English

Then I gave to him a piece of news from "The Wall Street Journal"

Same one reported on "China Daily"

He hardly understand this news

He was so surprised and asked me why

I told him

"China daily" Just wrote in English

But the "The Wall Street Journal"

wrote by American logical thinking

So, if you really want to learn good English, you must remember

American English thinking

Good speech

But you should give a more vivid example

For example

An American go to your home

He knocked, you open the door

What's the frist words you would say

Welcome!

Americans don't say welcome to their friends

They are drect and not so polite

So he would say

Come in, Then you just go in

More

vivid?

You with a foreign girl had 4 years relationship

And one day she came to you and say

I'm going back to America alone

How you suppose to answer this one

Don't you love me anymore?

Don't go, stay with me

No

Don't say anything

Turn around and leave

Otherwise she will treat you like a piece of luggage

Perfect!

Last person who took Meng Xiaojun's interview

Is me

Do you have a dream

You don't have to make the atmosphere so ecstasy

Be serious, ok?

As for me, I'm responsible for the visa consulting

Wang Yang teaches the American English thinking

Actually this is technological competitiveness

What do you think is the core competitiveness of the NEW DREAM?

It's you

This is not funny

I'm very sincerely

Alright, I say

I'm not sure whether you have a dream or not

But you should understand

No one can be more persuasive

than this incompetent president

Cheng Dongqing

You are our core competitiveness

Just read what've wrote

Subject:
What is the dream

Your turn

Students

I never have any dreams

And I don't know what is the dream

I only know what is failure

I'm not good at other things

Except failure

Chinese students are the most prone to failure students in the world

Because you have to face the most brutal test in the world

The Ministry of Education announced the enrollment rate in 1993

From middle school to high school is 44.1%

That means nearly 6 millions students have failed.

The college entrance examination's enrollment rate is 39.9%

1 million and 40 thousands students have failed

The students who came to NEW DREAM

to take the TOEFL and GRE exams

I already calculated the proportion

About 1/4 students can made it to study abroad and get the U.S scholarship

Another 30 thousands students have failed

Failure is everywhere

Life is so desperate

This is the reality

So what should we do?

Fall into the water you won't drown

Stay into the water you will drown

You have to swim

And keep moving forward

Those people who choose to give up from the beginning

They won't suffer failure

because they have failed from the beginning

Failure is not terrible thing

Fear of failure is the really terrible thing

We need to find the victory out of the defeat

Find hope

in despair

Who is responsible in here?

Me

You are using abandoned factory as campus unauthorized,

without permission from goverment agencies

This is a very serious violation behavior

Besides

You lack of formalities for this campus

Accordance with the law, you will be banned

Is there something so wrong with that?

We have submitted the complete formalities

We can't do anything about they keep delaying the time

The condition to apply the school certificate

That the applicat must have the academic title of associate professor at least

Also must be approved by your original units

You have both unqualified

Listen, We are negotiating with the departments concerned

They have agreed to help us out.

We're just in accordance with legal procedures

Can't help

What makes you say to banned our school?

Now the country support the private schools

We are protected by law

Who are you

Let me talk

It's not like we do nothing

It's because they keep delaying the time

Also we are protected by law

If you breach of privilege

I will sue you

Then go!

I'm waiting, go!

You can't do that, sorry

Our friend got drunk

He just back from U.S

Still jetlaging

Is that makes you so different
