Episode 186: Wonderland (1)

After the completion of the order for the 2020 education reform project.

[Special lecture on the SAT by Kim Jun-young with perfect scores. First 200 people]

I entered the special lecture for the entrance exam.

D-DAY 15.

This is because the number that makes the hearts of students, their parents, and instructors tremble has finally arrived.

Of course, there was no need for me to go ahead and give a special lecture directly to the director, unless there were one or two projects I have opened, such as hermit crab academy, hermit crab academy, hermit crab school, hermit art center, and the 2020 education reform project.

Dozens of calls a day for special lectures. and.

‘Sam, don’t you give special lectures for the entrance exam? Can’t you please?’

‘Teacher, it’s okay to listen, so please give me a lecture. Please.'

‘Director, please, my child must pass this time… please… .'

I couldn't pretend to be ignorant of the boiling winds of the students and parents belonging to the hermit crab academy.

Besides.

‘A lecturer who does not teach is not a lecturer.’

As I know how quickly a tree that has lost its roots rots, I had to give lectures continuously in order not to lose my sense of the lecture.

And today.

ugh-

When I looked up, I saw a lot of students.

The classroom that can accommodate about 200 people was filled, no, the students were spread all over the hallway because they couldn’t fill the classroom. Seeing their earnest expressions, I thought that they were good at accepting the special lecture once again.

It was because when I saw them, I realized that I am alive and that this is where I should be.

The heat felt by the students and the feeling that their gaze touched the whole body. With that feeling, I felt my body tremble.

‘Yes, this is it.’

I slowly raised my hand, looking at the students who were ready to fight.

even.

widely-

light start.

The right hand holding the chalk was constantly moving, and the left hand caught the students' attention.

Then, the 1L green tea I brought with me at the beginning of the class disappeared in an instant, and the distance between me and the students became close enough to hold.

“There are two major points to pay attention to in this October mock test area. First, classical grammar questions were asked. Second, two of the grammar questions are presented as set questions in the form of a fingerprint. This means that there is a possibility that classical grammar will be asked in the SAT this year... .”

Anyway, most of the progress is already out. All I had to do was give a lecture on the problem of the highest level of difficulty and the lowest accuracy that will appear in the SAT.

And if that was the case, I was confident.

“Okay, then let’s start in earnest. I will run like crazy for 4 hours a day for 15 days, so don’t fall and follow me!”

From then on, lectures like a storm. The so-called storm has begun.

“What is a phoneme?”

“The smallest unit of sound that distinguishes the meaning of words is a segmental phoneme and a non-segmental phoneme… .”

“What is an agglutinative language?”

“It refers to a language that derives words by adding suffixes to roots or expresses grammatical relationships, and includes Korean, Japanese, Mongolian, and Finnish… .”

“What are the three elements of the novel and the three elements of the composition of the novel?”

“The three elements of a novel are theme, composition, and style. The three elements of a novel are characters, events, and background… .”“What is the difference between probability and imperfection?”

“Probability is a concept that says whether or not a setting that the reader cannot accept suddenly appears and occupies an important element of the story. .”

And the students also started running like crazy in line with my lectures.

But.

D-DAY 14.

D-DAY 13.

.

.

D-DAY 10.

The heavy rain continued for the fifth day.

“Who is the author of this poem that starts with ‘On a distant day, when the sky first opened and where did you hear the crowing of a rooster?’”

“Lee nurse. Exactly, Lee Won-rok. Indeed, the pseudonym Lee Yuk-sa was taken from the number of prisoners who were implicated in the bombing of the Daegu branch of the Chosun Bank in 1927 and spent three years in prison in Daegu.”

“Then where is the scapegoat motif most evident in this poem ‘The Wilderness’?”

“The part called ‘Sow the seeds of my poor song here’. In this part, the poet's will to overcome harsh realities and realize a brilliant future even at the cost of himself is most evident.”

“… What is a ‘motif’?”

“Well, a motif can be seen as a central setting element that leads a story, repeated in many stories. For example, in the case of a ‘taboo’ motif, ‘the fact that a taboo is given, but the main character does it anyway’ becomes a motif in itself. A lot of people get confused with the motif, but it’s a different concept, so you have to be careful.”

“… So, what are some of the works in which the ‘taboo’ motif is revealed?”

“What a lot. Adam and Eve who ate the forbidden fruit, Pandora who opened the box, Orpheus who turned around when told not to look back… Can you tell me more?”

… Apart from Yuna Kim, the number of responses from other students declined sharply.

Let's raise our heads and look around. The pupils' eyes, which seemed to be on fire until just 5 days ago, now have bright eyes like a rabbit doll whose energy has been discharged.

From the looks of it, it seemed that the physical and mental fatigue accumulated during that time was pressing down on their bodies.

‘It’s like, in the middle of a marathon, I put up a spurt at the last minute.’

Still, it was running fairly slowly... Apparently, that wasn't the case with the students.

‘Still, in the beginning, he followed me quickly, right?’

It seems that the influence of pacemaker Yuna Kim, who has a physical level of post-human level, cannot be ignored.

“Sam! No more problems? Uh, is this really fun?”

It was true that the pace of the lecture was slightly increased thanks to the answer as if the answer to my question was written down somewhere.

‘Did this guy even meet a mountain spirit?

Considering that when she first met Yuna, she had such a clean brain that she didn't know what 'phonology' or 'part of speech' was... It was a situation in which the words of Heaven and Earth Gaebyeok, great opponents, one chwiwoljang, and atmospheric continuity came to mind.

I looked at the guy with new eyes.

OK.

"why?"

Yuna Kim started to squirm as she showed her polite, cruel smile.

Well, in the world, kind-hearted mountain spirits weren't that common, so I had to see her answer as a result of her own abilities.

‘Because he’s a great guy in many ways.’

But it just couldn't keep it in this state.

As the key points of the difficult problems that will appear in this year's CSAT are spilled in the middle of the class, even if you listen carefully to the conversations between me and Yuna, you will be able to solve the difficult problems quite easily.

If it goes on like this, this special lecture itself will become Yuna's one-man show and her own solo show.

‘In that case, it would be better not to give a special lecture.’

So I called Yuna Kim during my break for a while.

“Yeon-ah, you are not allowed to answer me for the time being until I tell you to stop.”

She took some extreme steps.

'I'm sure I'll run around saying I don't like it.'

Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking.

“Oh why oh oh! There is nothing wrong with answering hard!”

As expected in advance, Yuna Kim started running around.

Because it wasn't a sin that she answered hard, as she said.

‘It’s rather commendable.’

But in her current situation, she couldn't help it.

If it goes on like this, most of the students will lose their energy and be in a hurry to follow the class.

I opened my mouth with the spirit of Zhuge Liang, who is kind to the devil.

"I know. However… Too fast is the problem. You have to give other people a chance to respond.”

“Sheesh. Then, shouldn't the others respond quickly?"

“… You didn't give me time for that."

"is it? No, but it’s too much to stop you from speaking at all.”

“… I'm not saying not to say anything at all, I just want you to respond slowly."

Then she pondered for a moment and then she let out a sigh and opened her mouth.

“Hey, I have to be patient. I see. Instead, how about buying me 10 servings of cheonggukjang tteokbokki later?”

“Cheongkukjang Tteokbokki?”

"Huh? Have you not eaten cheonggukjang tteokbokki? Are you selling it in front of this academy?”

It was a terrible combination to think about. I frowned slightly and looked at Yuna Kim.

“… Are you selling that? Is there anyone buying it?”

But the guy just wanders around and opens her mouth as if having fun.

“Hey, you really haven’t tried it, have you? Oh yea! Then I promise you. How about eating cheonggukjang tteokbokki ‘together’ for 10 people if it’s quiet?”

He even looks at me with anticipation.

Hmm... Well, I felt a little sorry for him... It seemed like it would be okay to accept this kind of hardship.

‘It’s sold for money, but it’s not like you can’t eat it.’

"okay. Whether it's for 10 people or 100 people, we'll eat it together. Even if your mouth is itchy, let’s hold on for a while, okay?”

OK.

"town! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!”

“What are you talking about?”

"Yep! all right! Hehe."

But despite using this extreme method...

“A ‘writer-oriented film’ is a film premised on the idea that the director, who plays the same role as the writer, is the core character of the film, and it is a concept that regards the film entirely as a product of the director’s artistic consciousness. Therefore, it is possible for writer-oriented film directors to produce films that stand out for their individual expression and creative direction, following a serious theme and a free style. But there is a big blind spot in this concept, what is it?”

“… … Well."

“… … Five"

“… … Ah."

Their tension showed no sign of recovery.

“… So young... The weak point of the concept is that a movie is not made by a director alone... Maybe?”

Still, when Yuna started to be quiet, some students started to participate in the lecture, but… Attendance was lower than expected.“… yes right The point overlooked by this concept is that a film is not made solely by the work of a single director. Because a movie is a synthesis of the work of many people, such as screenwriters and cinematographers, and various production techniques. So, the question of whether the author-oriented view of a film that recognizes a film as a director's creation is valid... .”

It seemed that the students' energy was consumed a lot more than I thought.

‘This is a classroom, a dungeon… .'

Of course, that's not to say they weren't working hard. Looking at them, it seems that few people sleep more than 4 hours out of 24 hours a day even now.

Rather, their biggest problem is… It was that they were trying too hard.

I raised my head and looked at the students.

Then, the time and expectations of parents and society over the past 12 years. And I could see the students carrying their anxiety about the future as if it were a burden.

If this world were a game, the number of [100% burden] would be displayed.

Of course, sometimes the feeling of pressure is the driving force that makes people move.

‘Not now.’

Only 10 days left. The only thing that came out of squeezing out the physically and mentally exhausted was the oil of the overused brain.

'But no matter what I say, I don't listen. If you stay still, you will be so anxious that you will die.’

So, what they need now is not a whip for themselves, but a proper rest and tidying up on the path they have walked. And it was to lower the tension they had to an appropriate level.

‘Only that way will I be able to run for the remaining 10 days.’

And if that's the case... I knew one very simple and sure way.

Having gathered my thoughts, I dropped the chalk I was holding.

OK.

widely-

The chalk fell to the floor and shattered.

The students opened their eyes in a sudden situation and looked at me.

I looked at them in surprise and opened my mouth slowly.

“Everyone close the book.”

Moment.

“… … ???”

A deep question appeared on the students' faces.

They looked at me with a look that didn't make sense.

But I had no intention of dissolving their doubts.

Because what I'm trying to do now is that one experience is more important than 100 explanations.

“Everyone gets up and gathers in the parking lot of the academy by 10 minutes.”

OK.

“Sam? Where are you going?"

Yuna looked at me and asked.

I looked at her and smiled slightly.

To replenish depleted energy in a short period of time… There was nothing more than showing the sweetest dream that the subject wanted in front of the subject.

So, in a time like now, in order to fill the empty barn of the students, it was necessary to show them where they wanted the most, the dream they wanted the most.

Fortunately, I knew where it was. No, not just knowing... They had a very close relationship.

I opened my mouth slowly with a smile of conversion.

“I’m going to Wonderland.”

A magical land that will energize the tired body of students.

Today's destination wasn't the lecture hall, it was there.
