Chapter 128

Li Yanwang only announced the top ten rankings of this exam, and then emphatically commended several other students who had made significant progress.

Zhang Peng was also one of them.

This guy, who had always been at the bottom of the class, could be considered to have made a stunning debut this time, actually scoring twenty-second in the class.

There were forty-eight students in total in the class, so this was already considered a mid-to-upper ranking.

During the holiday study session, the requirement Qin Tian set for him to exceed the class average score in this exam was also barely met.

When Li Yanwang announced this news, Zhang Peng was so excited that he raised his arms and cheered loudly.

Including Zhang Peng's best friend Qian Sheng, the few brothers who had always sat at the bottom of the class were all green with envy.

But jealousy aside, everyone felt it didn't seem so hard to accept.

After all, Zhang Peng had indeed been studying hard recently. During the three-day holiday before the exam, most of them spent their time in internet cafes and game halls, while Zhang Peng was holding a study session with Qin Tian and others.

The most critical thing was that he had a monster-level brother like "Teacher Qin."

Didn't you see Xia Nuannuan, in less than two months, go from mid-class level to flying like a rocket to the top twenty of the entire grade?

Compared to the changes in Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, Zhang Peng's progress didn't seem that exaggerated.

"I'll just say this much about the exam rankings. It's the same as usual: after class, the Class Monitor will post this table at the back. Everyone take a good look. It's the last month, think more about how to improve the most and just do it."

"Most students have made great progress in this exam. Keep it up and try your best not to leave any regrets in this last period."

"Alright, everyone take out your papers; I'll explain a few places."

After Li Yanwang finished speaking, he picked up the paper and began to teach the class formally.

This class was already nearly half over. By the time Li Yanwang finished explaining the first few multiple-choice questions, the bell for the end of class rang soon after.

After announcing the break, he called Class Monitor Mu Nan and handed the ranking table to her.

By the time Mu Nan posted the ranking table on the back blackboard, heads were already crowding over impatiently.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan didn't go; they already knew their scores and rankings anyway.

The two sat in their seats. Qin Tian was reading a book of full-score essays, while Xia Nuannuan was working on math problems without arrogance or rashness.

Although the goal for this exam was achieved, the goal for the college entrance exam was even bigger.

She wanted to go to Jiangcheng University with Qin Tian.

According to the college entrance exam results of Yucheng No. 4 High School in recent years and the admission score line of Jiangcheng University, the top twenty in the grade was still not stable enough.

Top ten in the grade should be enough, but her goal was top five in the grade, so that she wouldn't lose to that school beauty in academic performance.

She didn't have hostility toward Su Yan, and she had even exchanged contact information with her; they could be said to be friends.

But this didn't hinder her from taking Su Yan as her goal.

"Qin Tian, do you know what your essay is missing to be a full-score essay?"

Li Yanwang, who had come to Qin Tian's side at some point, asked abruptly.

"What is it?"

Qin Tian raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled gaze.

A hint of curiosity also appeared on Xia Nuannuan's pretty face.

She had already read Qin Tian's essay and felt it was written very well, much better than her own.

In her view, it should have been given a full score; the grader was a bit too harsh.

Even Xia Nuannuan wondered if the grader had deliberately deducted two points so that Qin Tian wouldn't be arrogant and complacent.

"If you want a full score for a college entrance exam essay, besides meeting the basic requirements of theme, word count, writing standards, etc., you need the most important point!"

Li Yanwang held up his right index finger and said sternly: "That is the part that can make the grader's eyes light up—the unique part."

Qin Tian was stunned upon hearing this, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Li Yanwang picked up the answer card on his desk and looked at the essay part, saying: "Think about this essay of yours again. Indeed, from the theme to the writing to the final point, the echoing of the beginning and end, etc., it has no problems. It is undoubtedly a very excellent essay, but that's all. To get a full score, you still need the highlight I just mentioned."

"You've read so many full-score essays; haven't you felt that these essays all have some aspect, or some point, that makes you feel refreshed?"

"Teacher, I think I understand."

Qin Tian nodded deeply in agreement.

A look of gratification flashed in Li Yanwang's eyes, and he said earnestly: "Even if you understand, it is still very difficult to write a full-score essay in the college entrance exam."

"I know."

Qin Tian smiled helplessly.

Li Yanwang didn't say anything more and changed the subject: "In this exam, our class students being able to make such great progress, you have a lot of credit!"

Qin Tian was stunned and looked at him with an incredibly surprised look.

In his impression, this was the first time Old Li had praised him so straightforwardly.

"What kind of look is that?"

Li Yanwang asked with a straight face.

"No, nothing, just..."

Qin Tian shook his head quickly. After a pause of a few seconds, he suddenly grinned and said: "Just feel that you, Teacher, being so frank suddenly, I'm not used to it. You can say such things more often in the future."

Li Yanwang had a dark face, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Xia Nuannuan, sitting inside, watched this scene and covered her mouth with her hand to giggle, struggling quite hard to suppress her laughter.

"Hehe..."

Li Yanwang gave a dry laugh, raised his hand to press on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, shouldn't things like review outlines be done more often? Contribute more of your intelligence to the students in the class?"

"About that..."

Qin Tian's smile froze on his face, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Also, why is it only math and science? What about Chinese and English? What? You think Chinese and English aren't important? Then you give me a full score in Chinese too!"

"Old Li, calm down, calm down."

"Call me Teacher!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Qin Tian felt the hand gripping his shoulder getting tighter and tighter, so he honestly corrected his attitude.

Li Yanwang smiled and let go, patted his shoulder lightly, and praised: "Very good. Then in the next two days, find time to make a Chinese review outline for me, aimed at the college entrance exam."

"Teacher, I really don't know how to make a Chinese one, and it's not necessary. You've also said those must-test knowledge points many times. Isn't it enough for everyone to just memorize them?"

Qin Tian said with a bitter face.

"Just because I've said them many times doesn't mean everyone has remembered them. Anyway, you're basically free in class, so help summarize them."

Li Yanwang said in an unquestionable tone.

"I won't, it's too troublesome!"

Qin Tian shook his head and refused.

Li Yanwang glanced at Xia Nuannuan beside him and asked: "Student Xia Nuannuan, I remember you also lost some points on objective questions, right?"

"Yes, I wrote a character wrong and lost two points."

Xia Nuannuan nodded in shame.

Li Yanwang smiled, his gaze looking at Qin Tian with deep meaning.

"Alright, alright, I'll do it, okay!"

Qin Tian agreed with a speechless face.
