Chapter 560

~15 min read 2,883 words

During these three days of the national college entrance exam, all social news and entertainment news must give way.

The hot topics these few days, according to past practice, are all about the expressions of candidates from different provinces after finishing a subject, as well as the difficulty of the exam papers in each province.

June 7th, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, Chinese exam.

Jin Li was unusually low-key. After entering the exam room, she sat quietly in her seat.

Not far behind her was Gu Cheng's seat.

The two of them had no interaction throughout, as if they hadn't come in the same nanny car.

Because of the important day of the college entrance exam, although the paparazzi really wanted to take photos of the two, they only dared to hover on the periphery and didn't dare to sneak into the exam room.

If caught, they would truly be detained and might even be considered as obstructing social stability.

The photos taken by the paparazzi were too blurry. After thinking it over, they still didn't release the material.

They believed that even if released, it wouldn't make it to the hot search, and the blog would likely limit the traffic.

It would be better to wait until the college entrance exam ends to post it; perhaps it could become a topic of conversation.

In the classroom.

The candidates who entered later scanned the classroom and saw Jin Li and Gu Cheng, their eyes lighting up.

They knew Jin Li would take the college entrance exam this time, but they didn't expect their luck to be so good that they were assigned to the same exam room as her.

But that Gu Cheng was also taking the college entrance exam was very unexpected.

The candidates in this exam room all had relatively high fame in society, either stars, internet celebrities, or celebrities in a certain field.

Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng, these people's professional habits kicked in, wanting to go over to take photos with them and ask them some questions.

But just as they approached them, the teacher staring at the students in the classroom coughed heavily and warned sternly: "Everyone, please do not whisper!"

"After finding your seat, sit in your seat. Do not chat or talk!"

Ultimately remembering the purpose of their coming, the candidates finally sat honestly in their seats.

The teacher in the classroom also breathed a slight sigh of relief. If a candidate insisted on going to another candidate's side to ask questions, it would be difficult for them to handle.

After three warnings, if they still refused to sit in their seats, they could only ask those people to leave.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

Chinese is Jin Li's strong subject. Even without drilling questions, she is confident that she can get a high score in this subject.

If she loses a lot of points in this Chinese subject, then her essay must have gone off-topic.

Off-topic!

This is a difficult hurdle that every student will encounter, even top students are no exception.

Sometimes the angle of analysis is too ordinary, so you can't get a high score and can't widen the gap.

Sometimes wanting to analyze everything comprehensively leads to neglecting one thing for another, unable to write anything, only staying on the surface.

So finding the right angle is very important.

Not seeking to find all meanings, but as long as you elaborate on a key point with evidence, using the method of mutual pulling—

Extending from small things to big things, or from big things to small things, and finally rising to a height together, then the essay won't be bad.

The essay structure Jin Li is best at writing is from point to line, then from line to surface, like a trickling stream gathering into a river, finally rising to a height, hitting the topic, and adding the finishing touch.

This writing method was said to be not bad by the invited teacher. Since Jin Li is very used to using it, she should continue to use it and doesn't need to change it.

It's not that there isn't a better essay structure, but it's better to stick to what the student is best at using.

Because no matter how the structure changes, if the content elements you use are not attractive, you can only get an average upper-middle score.

Of course, many students only seek an upper-middle score.

After all, wanting to get a high score requires extra ingenuity, and at the same time, you might have to take some risks in the content.

For such a major life event as the college entrance exam, many people dare not take risks and will tend to write conventional elements and structures, fearing that if they take a risk, they will go off-topic.

"Ding-a-ling—"

The first exam preparatory bell rang, and the exam papers were distributed.

Candidates can only look at the papers, not pick up their pens.

Jin Li followed her habit, and after getting the exam paper, she first flipped to the essay. This is also a small trick for writing essays.

Because essays need time to conceive, the content thought of in a short time is often not rich.

If you know the essay topic before the exam, you can think about how to write the essay while doing the previous content, what elements and content to use, so you have a plan in mind.

When you finish doing everything and it's time to write the essay, you can directly draft it, record the thoughts that pop up in your mind, start listing the structure, and you can quickly start writing.

Material 1:

Li Shageng, a snack shop owner in the Qing Dynasty, initially won customers with honest goods, but later business declined due to adulteration and neglect. After the famous calligrapher and painter Zheng Banqiao wrote the shop name, although it attracted passersby to watch, no one entered the shop to consume.

Material 2:

A rich man compared three watermelons to benefits: the young man snatched the biggest piece, but the rich man chose the smallest piece and ate it quickly, then snatched the last piece. The young man realized: being greedy for the big makes one lose the opportunity for long-term accumulation.

"Ding-a-ling—"

The Chinese exam ended, and many students from various provinces walked out of the exam room with relaxed expressions.

And before this, some candidates handed in their papers early and came out with relaxed expressions. The reporters waiting outside rushed to interview them.

Reporter: "You handed in your paper so early, is the Chinese exam paper not difficult this time?"

Candidate smiled and said: "Yes, I don't think it's difficult, very relaxed, finished writing very early, so I chose to hand in the paper early, not giving myself too much pressure."

Reporter: "How many points do you think you can get?"

Candidate didn't dare to be arrogant and said modestly: "Should be able to pass!"

This interview video was immediately put on the internet, and some netizens eating melons had already quickly dug out the identity of this candidate—

Gold medal winner of the New Concept Essay Contest!

【666, this reporter is really lucky. Watching the live broadcast, there were several candidates who came out early. She just caught one at random and caught an expert!】

【This candidate's essay is written very powerfully. I think the simple in her eyes is different from the simple in others' eyes. Still have to listen to the opinions of ordinary candidates.】

【+1, her Chinese score definitely won't be bad. She feels relaxed, others may not necessarily feel relaxed.】

Netizens discussed heatedly. Soon, the bell for handing in papers rang, the teacher collected the papers uniformly, and a large group of students walked out of the exam room one after another.

Some students were willing to accept interviews, but some just waved their hands and left.

The reporter was rejected nine times and finally found one willing to chat.

Reporter: "Do you think this Chinese exam is difficult?"

Candidate: "Not difficult, I think it's not difficult, not as difficult as the papers my school gives."

Reporter: "Are you confident about how many points you can get this time? Can you talk about it?"

Candidate thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Pass?"

Reporter: "So modest, didn't you say it's not difficult?"

Candidate: "It's not difficult, but I usually don't pass."

【hhh, such an honest candidate, laughed, laughed, it really doesn't look difficult like this.】

【Reporter, interviewing candidates is useless, they are all too shy. You should interview parents, parents are more daring to speak than candidates!】

【I also want to know the parents' thoughts.】

【Interviewing parents +1】

The reporter is a good listener. She left the exam room to eat first.

If you want to interview parents, you definitely can't interview them at the time just after the exam.

After all, parents also need time to understand information.

On the other side, while these reporters were carrying cameras and running around the world outside the exam room, Jin Li and Gu Cheng were hiding in a certain place in the exam room. After confirming that everyone had left, they took the nanny car back to the hotel.

"Click!"

A subtle sound of taking photos rang out. The two didn't notice that they had been photographed by paparazzi.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

Being a star, you will be photographed by paparazzi anytime, anywhere, even if sometimes it's when you're going to the bathroom...

Although the latter is often an act that only crazy fans would do.

In the car.

Jin Li curiously asked Gu Cheng: "How did you do?"

Gu Cheng said affirmatively: "Should be pretty good, the essay this time is simple."

His words turned: "But it should not be as good as yours. Those reading comprehension questions are quite difficult for me to understand."

Jin Li shrugged: "Chinese is my strong point, it's normal for me to do better than you."

She thought for a while and said: "I'm thinking since Chinese is arranged so simply, will the math in the afternoon be more difficult?"

Gu Cheng frowned, "Very likely, otherwise the score gap won't be widened, you have to give some difficult questions."

Jin Li sighed: "My science is still a bit weak, I can only count on guessing the questions."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, and it was his turn to curiously ask: "What questions did you guess?"

Jin Li said slyly: "I'll tell you, what will you exchange for it?"

Gu Cheng spread his hands: "From head to toe, the only most valuable thing I have is my heart, my soul, my whole person. I can give you everything I have—"

Before the last word "you" could come out, Jin Li felt it was too greasy and quickly shouted stop.

She couldn't stand it, rubbed her arm, and interrupted: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Arriving at the hotel.

Gu Cheng followed Jin Li to her room, only to find out that she hadn't started guessing questions yet.

Jin Li said righteously: "Guessing too early won't be accurate, because luck is always changing. Only when it's closest to the need will it be more accurate."

She looked at Gu Cheng: "Do you want to guess questions now, or wait until after eating and when you're about to go to the exam room?"

Gu Cheng asked: "When did you originally plan to guess?"

Jin Li: "Guess now. I think it's a bit rushed to guess before going to the exam room, and guessing too accurately isn't actually a good thing, it will affect personal luck.

Luck is flowing. If there is good luck, it will be accompanied by bad luck, so as to achieve yin-yang balance."

Gu Cheng: "Then guess now."

He pointed to his brain and said casually: "Whether it's guessing now or later, it doesn't make much difference to me."

Jin Li envied his calm and relaxed appearance to death.

Once again confirming, she still really wanted Gu Cheng's brain.

If a smart brain were combined with super high learning efficiency, how powerful she would be, just thinking about it makes her expand terribly.

Not to mention winning the Nobel Prize in this world, but at least winning some national-level awards wouldn't be a problem.

But unfortunately, Jin Li has learning efficiency, but her brain isn't considered smart.

Gu Cheng has a smart brain and good learning efficiency, but he isn't interested in doing research.

If an excellent brain isn't cultivated systematically, it will gradually lose its sensitivity.

Gu Cheng once mentioned to Jin Li that in the past two years of study, he clearly felt that absorbing knowledge wasn't as fast as when he was a trainee abroad.

Because he worked in the entertainment industry for a few years, purely in terms of learning, his brain has actually regressed a bit.

But also because of work, his limbs have evolved more than in previous years, and various movement processing and coordination abilities have become more excellent.

"OK, guess now."

Jin Li pulled open a schoolbag placed on the desk, which was full of math tutoring materials.

Then, Gu Cheng saw Jin Li pour all these materials out.

Gu Cheng:?

After pouring, Jin Li clapped her hands and said: "Don't worry about the unopened tutoring books, collect the opened ones."

There were more than a dozen tutoring materials, only two were opened when poured out, and the other pages were in a closed state.

Gu Cheng handed those two to Jin Li, and Jin Li used the same method to close these two tutoring books first, then straightened her arm, and opened her palm—

The tutoring books fell in free fall, and with a slap, they blossomed.

One tutoring book opened, and one didn't.

Jin Li looked at the opened side, handed it to Gu Cheng, and said in a leisurely manner: "Look, the opened side is the question I guessed."

Gu Cheng:??

You really are guessing questions through metaphysics!

How metaphysical is it?

It focuses on being crisp, simple, and neat, without even needing to burn incense or anything.

Gu Cheng memorized the questions, and Jin Li also memorized the questions.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, she just smashed these two tutoring books that were opened at the beginning.

After repeated smashing, either they were all closed and didn't open, but once the page was opened, what appeared in front of the two was definitely a super difficult big question.

Gu Cheng usually glanced at it and knew how to solve these questions, but Jin Li couldn't, she still had to go through the problem-solving ideas.

But with Gu Cheng tutoring on the side, Jin Li went through the ideas very quickly.

Soon, the afternoon exam came.

3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, math exam.

The lively periphery of the exam room became quiet with the ringing of the preparatory bell. The reporters who were interviewing here in the morning aimed at the parents waiting for candidates outside this time.

These parents were gathering together to cool off.

Just as the reporter walked into the parents' area, she heard a parent discussing the morning's Chinese exam, and her eyes lit up.

Reporter: "Hello, parent, can I ask what you think about the content of the morning's Chinese exam paper?"

Parent A: "Very good, very simple. My child was very happy after finishing it and told me it was especially simple, should be able to get a high score!"

Parent B: "I didn't ask my child, I found the exam paper on the internet and did it myself. Even I could do it, my child definitely has no problem."

Parent C had a worried face: "Sigh, too simple, the score can't be widened. The Chinese paper this time wasn't good, it should have been more difficult."

Reporter: "Can you tell me how many points you think your child can get in Chinese?"

Parent A: "That must be 140!"

Parent B: "140!"

Parent C thought for a long time: "145!"

The interview video was quickly uploaded to the internet, causing greater discussion among netizens.

【I just said that interviewing parents is more interesting than interviewing students (cool)】

【Students: Passing is fine. Parents: Definitely can get 140!】

【Am I the only one who thinks Parent C's worry is very reasonable? If the Chinese essay isn't difficult, then math is probably...】

【Don't say it, reminded me of the nightmare of the year I took the exam, the math paper was comparable to the Math Olympiad!!】

【On my side, odd years are more difficult, even years are easier. This year is an even year, it should be relatively simple.】

【That statement isn't accurate. I took the exam in an even year before, and the math was difficult as hell (fear)】

【Anyway, I think math has become more and more difficult in recent years. The country has focused more on flexible application, innovative thinking, and interdisciplinary comprehensive ability (such as combining traditional culture and real life) in recent years, no longer just simple problem solving, so it makes many candidates feel the difficulty has increased.】

【It is indeed better to be practical, otherwise learning it is useless _(: 3」∠)_】
