Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 814 - 679: Rhythm and Purpose

Seeing the reactions of the two colleagues, Professor Zuo Yi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

Even if these two have more articles than him and are busier with projects, they shouldn’t be slacking off like this, right? Aren’t they paying any attention to the interview at all?

Professor Zuo Yi sighed and glanced to the other side of the classroom. He saw Professor You Yi furrowing his brow heavily while leaning strongly towards Professor You Er.

He seed quite dissatisfied with the other’s current distraction, wanting to find out what exactly the other was doing.

Professor Zuo Yi suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, among the four here, aside from himself, at least one person was working.

Now he’ll continue following the process, and after it’s over, he definitely needs to ask the two in the middle what they’ve been doing!

With this thought, Professor Zuo Yi first marked high scores on the form for Nan Zhubin’s self-introduction and professional response sections.

This candidate is worthy of first place in the preliminary exam, answering very systematically.

A student who can answer professional questions so effortlessly must have spent all of last year preparing, not daring to slack off even after the preliminary exam, continuing to study even during the New Year!

Oh wait, the student ntioned during his self-introduction that he went to the disaster area at the beginning of the year for a crisis intervention project, so he must have squeezed out ti for studying amid work, which is even more difficult...

While marking high scores, Professor Zuo Yi couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sympathy and even guilt, thinking that the attitude of the other three colleagues towards their work was too frivolous, causing the candidate to face unfair treatnt.

"Alright, next we proceed to the English test section," Professor Zuo Yi said solemnly, "Just like before, you’ll draw two questions. Now choose a number under 10 for your first question."

Isn’t it supposed to be an English self-introduction directly?

Nan Zhubin felt slightly puzzled, but it wasn’t too surprising. These changing processes are actually normal, if everything were the sa every year, it would actually be easy to predict.

Even the exam format this year has changed. It was said that in previous years, an English teacher would be invited to handle the questions and grading, so the questions involved were more conventional regarding personal planning—not professional questions, since even if candidates answered professional questions in English, the English teacher might not understand.

This year, it seems no foreign language college teacher was invited; instead, professors from the college are handling it all. In fact, that’s sufficient, as professors generally have decent English reading and writing ability.

However, Nan Zhubin was curious about who would be reading the English questions—one of the professors below or a graduate teaching assistant for exam affairs?

"I’ll pick 9." Since it’s all blind drawing, Nan Zhubin didn’t plan to change his number choice.

Then he saw the exam affairs teacher by the door click the mouse twice.

The classroom’s multidia speaker suddenly began issuing sound: "Question nine—"

Oh, it’s broadcasted by a machine, that’s relieving. Hearing questions in English with an accent would really be fatal.

"—please introduce yourself by briefly describing your academic background, any relevant practical experiences, and your key motivation for pursuing further studies in your chosen field..."

Nan Zhubin blinked, the machine rambled on, but the core requirent was given right at the start.

Isn’t this just a self-introduction?

It’s not placed at the beginning, but here, ant to be drawn by the candidate. If not drawn, then no self-introduction needed.

This indeed catches so candidates off guard.

Nan Zhubin organized his language slightly then spoke: "Thank you for the question. It is my great honor to be here to introduce myself for the graduate interview at Beidu Normal University. My na is Nan Zhuren, co from..."

Professor Zuo Yi listened intently, nodding internally.

The candidate’s pronunciation was mostly free of a Chinese accent, pleasant to listen to; expression quite fluent, clearly had put effort into preparing the English self-introduction.

In fact, at this stage, the scoring standards are not at the sa level as the previous professional Q&A; the school isn’t assessing the candidate’s "English level" per se. Since English interview questions revolve around the sa few, basically all predictive; the school can’t expect students to give impromptu speeches, which would wipe out a large scale of them, severely reducing student sources.

The school looks for professional students with decent English skills, not English-major translators.

Therefore, professors below only listen to see if the candidate expresses fluently, if there are noticeable grammar errors, sotis even the Chinese accent isn’t crucial.

As long as the candidate’s response shows preparation, respect for the school, respect for the examiners, respect for this exam, they’ll generally get a decent score.

At the mont, Nan Zhubin has showcased a very good template, considered exemplary.

Professor Zuo Yi nodded as he marked high scores on the form before turning his head to look beside him—

No, why are you all starting to look at your phones?!

Not only the two professors sitting in the middle, even Professor You Yi, who earlier furrowed his brows at them, had taken out his phone at so point, head down and focused.

What’s so important that warrants such behavior? This is work! Even for administrative duties, at least make an effort to appear serious!
