I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 552 Jinli's Online Metaphysical Prediction
During the three days of the national college entrance examination, all social and entertainment news must take a backseat.

The hot topics these past few days, as usual, have been about the expressions of test takers from different provinces after finishing their individual subject exams, as well as the difficulty of the exam papers in each province.

On June 7th, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, I took the Chinese exam.

Jinli was unusually low-key; after entering the examination room, she sat quietly in her seat.

Not far behind her was Gu Cheng's seat.

The two did not exchange a single word throughout the entire journey, as if they had not arrived in the same van.

Because it was such an important day as the college entrance examination, although the paparazzi really wanted to take photos of the two, they only dared to circle around the perimeter and did not dare to sneak into the examination hall.

If caught, you will indeed be detained and imprisoned, and may even be considered as a threat to social stability.

The photos taken by the paparazzi were all too blurry, and after much deliberation, I decided not to release them.

They believe that even if it is released, it will not trend on social media, and the blog will likely limit its traffic.

It would be better to wait until after the college entrance exam to release it; perhaps then it will become a topic of conversation.

In classrooms.

The candidates who came in later scanned the classroom and their eyes lit up when they saw Jinli and Gu Cheng.

They knew Jinli would be taking the college entrance exam this year, but they never expected to be so lucky as to be assigned to the same exam room as her.

But it was quite unexpected that Gu Cheng would also take the college entrance examination.

The candidates in this examination room are all quite famous in society; they are either celebrities, internet celebrities, or famous people in a certain field.

When these people saw Jinli and Gu Cheng, their professional instincts kicked in, and they wanted to go over and take pictures with them and ask them some questions.

But as soon as he approached them, the teacher, who was watching the students in the classroom, coughed loudly and solemnly reminded them, "Please do not whisper to each other!"

"Once you find your seat, sit down and don't chat or talk!"

Ultimately, remembering their purpose for coming, the candidates obediently sat down in their seats.

The teachers in the classroom also breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was difficult for them if any candidate insisted on asking other candidates questions.

If they still refuse to sit down after three warnings, then the only option is to ask them to leave.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Chinese is Jinli's forte; she is confident that she can get a high score in this subject even without doing practice questions.

If she loses a lot of points in Chinese, then her essay will definitely be off-topic.

Off-topic!

This is a challenge that every student will encounter, even top students.

Sometimes, if the analysis is too conventional, you won't get a high score and won't be able to differentiate yourself.

Sometimes, when you try to analyze everything comprehensively, you end up neglecting some aspects and not being able to write anything, only staying on the surface.

Therefore, finding the right angle is very important.

The goal isn't to uncover every meaning, but rather to provide a reasoned and well-supported explanation of a single key point, using a mutually reinforcing approach—

If you can extend from small things to big things, or from big things to small things, and finally elevate them all to a higher level, then your writing will be good.

Jinli's best essay structure is to move from points to lines, and then from lines to surfaces, like trickles of water converging into rivers, finally rising to a higher level, addressing the topic, and adding the finishing touch.

The teacher who was invited said this writing method was quite good. Since Jinli was used to it, she should continue to use it without making any changes.

It's not that there aren't better essay structures, but we'll mainly focus on those that students are most comfortable using.

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

Of course, many students only aim for an above-average score.

After all, to get a high score, you need extra ingenuity and may also have to take some risks with the content.

Many people are afraid to take risks when it comes to such a major life event as the college entrance examination. They tend to write about conventional elements and structures, for fear that they will go off-topic if they take a risk.

"Jingle Bell--"

The bell rang for the first exam, and the exam papers were handed out.

Candidates can only look at the exam paper; they cannot write.

As was her habit, Jinli would first look at the essay after receiving the test paper, which was also a little trick for writing essays.

Because writing requires time to conceive, the content that can be thought of in a short time is often not very rich.

If you know the essay topic before the exam, you can think about how to write the essay and what elements to use while doing the previous exercises, so you have a clear idea of ​​what to write.

Once you've completed all the tasks and it's time to write the essay, you can start by drafting a short draft, recording the ideas that pop into your head, outlining the structure, and then quickly begin writing.

Material one:

Li Shageng, a pastry shop owner during the Qing Dynasty, initially attracted a large customer base with his genuine and reasonably priced goods. However, his business declined later due to adulteration and neglect of customers. After the famous calligrapher and painter Zheng Banqiao inscribed the shop's name, although it attracted onlookers, no one entered the shop to make a purchase.

Material two:
The wealthy man used three watermelons as a metaphor for profit: the young man rushed to choose the largest slice, while the wealthy man chose the smallest slice, ate it quickly, and then seized the last slice. The young man realized: greed for large gains leads to the loss of long-term accumulation opportunities.

……

"Jingle Bell--"

After the Chinese language exam, students from many provinces walked out of the examination hall with relaxed expressions.

Before that, some candidates handed in their papers early and came out looking relaxed, prompting reporters who had been waiting outside to rush over to interview them.

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

The test taker smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't find it difficult at all. It was very easy, and I finished writing it quite early, so I chose to hand in my paper early to avoid putting too much pressure on myself."

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

The candidate, not daring to be overconfident, humbly replied, "I should be able to pass!"

The interview video was immediately posted online, and some netizens quickly uncovered the candidate's identity.

Gold Medal Winner of the New Concept Writing Competition!
[666, this reporter is so lucky! Watching the live stream, several candidates came out early, and she randomly grabbed one of them—a real pro!]

This student's essay is very well written. I think her understanding of simplicity is different from others'. We should still listen to the opinions of ordinary students.

[+1, her Chinese language grades must be pretty good. She might find it easy, but others might not.]

Netizens were discussing it heatedly. Soon, the bell rang for the end of the exam, the teachers collected the papers, and a large number of students walked out of the exam room one after another.

Some students agreed to be interviewed, but others just waved and left.

The reporter was rejected nine times before finally finding someone willing to talk.

Reporter: "Did you find this Chinese exam difficult?"

Test taker: "It's not difficult, I don't think it's difficult. It's not as difficult as the test papers set by my school."

Reporter: "How many points are you confident you can get this time? Can you tell us?"

The candidate pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Pass?"

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

The test taker said, "It's not difficult, but I've never passed the test before."

[laughs] Such an honest test taker, it really isn't difficult looking at it this way.

[Reporter, interviewing the test takers is useless; they're all too shy. You should interview the parents; they're much more outspoken than the test takers!]

I'd also like to know what the parents think.

[One more parent interviewed]

The reporter was someone who listened to advice; she left the examination room first to go eat.

If you want to interview parents, you definitely can't do it right after the exam.

After all, parents also need time to understand the information.

Meanwhile, while these reporters were running around outside the exam hall with cameras, Jinli and Gu Cheng hid somewhere in the exam hall. Only after making sure everyone had left did they take a van back to the hotel.

"Click!" A discreet camera shutter sounded, and the two were unaware that they had been photographed by paparazzi.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care.

Being a celebrity means being photographed by paparazzi anytime, anywhere, even sometimes when you're in the bathroom...

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

in the car.

Jinli asked Gu Cheng curiously, "How did you do on the exam?"

Gu Cheng said confidently, "It should be pretty good. This essay was easy."

He then changed the subject: "But I probably didn't do as well as you. Those reading comprehension questions were quite difficult for me to understand."

Jinli shrugged: "Chinese is my strong suit, so it's normal that I did better than you."

She thought for a moment and said, "I was wondering if the math class this afternoon will be more difficult since the Chinese class is so easy?"

Gu Cheng frowned. "That's very possible. Otherwise, the score difference wouldn't be significant. They have to give us some difficult questions."

Jinli sighed, "My science is still a bit weak, so I can only hope to get some practice questions."

Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow, and it was his turn to ask curiously, "What question did you predict?"

Jinli said slyly, "Let me tell you, what will you use to exchange it?"

Gu Cheng spread his hands: "The only valuable thing I have is my heart, my soul, my whole being. I can give everything I have to—"

Before she could even utter the last "you," Jinli felt it was too cheesy and quickly called for a stop.

She couldn't stand it anymore and touched her arm, interrupting, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Come to the hotel.

Gu Cheng followed Jinli to her room and learned that she hadn't started practicing for the exam questions yet.

Jinli said righteously, "Betting too early will not be accurate, because fortune is constantly changing. You will only be more accurate if you bet when you are closest to your needs."

She looked at Gu Cheng: "Do you want to start practicing questions now, or wait until after dinner, just before heading to the exam hall?"

Gu Cheng asked, "When did you originally plan to make the arrest?"

Jinli: "I think it's a bit rushed to bet now, and betting too accurately before going to the exam hall is actually not a good thing, as it will affect one's luck."

Fortune is fluid; good fortune is accompanied by bad fortune, thus achieving a balance of yin and yang.

Gu Cheng: "Then place the bet now."

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

Jinli was extremely envious of his nonchalant demeanor.

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

If a brilliant mind is combined with extremely high learning efficiency, how powerful would she be? Just thinking about it is terrifyingly inflated.

While I wouldn't say I'd win the Nobel Prize, winning some national-level awards shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, Jinli is efficient at learning, but not particularly bright.

Gu Cheng is intelligent and has good learning efficiency, but he is not interested in doing research.

Even a brilliant brain will gradually lose its sharpness if it is not systematically trained.

Gu Cheng had mentioned to Jin Li that in the past two years of studying, he had clearly felt that he was not absorbing knowledge as quickly as he had when he was a trainee abroad.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for several years, my brain has actually deteriorated somewhat in terms of pure learning.

However, due to his work, his limbs have actually evolved more than in previous years, and his ability to handle and coordinate various movements has become more excellent.

"OK, place your bet now."

Jinli opened a schoolbag on the desk, which was full of math tutoring materials.

Then, Gu Cheng saw Jin Li dump all these documents out.

Gu Cheng: ?
After Jinli finished pouring, she clapped her hands and said, "Don't worry about the unopened study guides. Collect the opened ones."

Of the dozen or so supplementary teaching materials, only two had their pages open when unrolled; the rest had their pages closed.

Gu Cheng handed the two books to Jin Li, who then closed them in the same way, before straightening her arm and opening her hand.

The teaching aids fell freely and burst open with a thud.

One supplementary textbook was opened, and another was not.

Jinli looked at the open side, handed it to Gu Cheng, and said casually, "Look, the open side is the question I prepared."

Gu Cheng: ?

Your prediction of the exam questions is truly mystical!

How mysterious is it?

The main idea is to be straightforward and simple, without needing to burn incense or anything like that.

Gu Cheng was taking notes on the questions, and Jin Li was also taking notes on the questions.

Whether by coincidence or not, she smashed the two educational supplements she had just opened.

After repeated attempts, the page either remains completely closed and won't open, but once it is opened, what appears before the two of them is always an extremely difficult problem.

Gu Cheng could usually tell how to solve these problems at a glance, but Jin Li couldn't; she still had to go through the solution process.

With Gu Cheng providing guidance, Jinli quickly got her thoughts flowing smoothly.

Soon, the afternoon exam began.

The math exam will be from 3 PM to 5 PM.

The bustling area outside the examination hall quickly quieted down as the preparatory bell rang. The reporters who had been interviewing there that morning now focused their attention on the parents waiting outside for the examinees.

These parents are gathered together to cool off.

As soon as the reporter entered the area with the parents, he heard one of them discussing the morning's Chinese lesson, and his eyes lit up.

Reporter: "Hello, parent, may I ask what your thoughts are on the Chinese language test this morning?"

Parent A: "Great! It's very simple. My child was very happy after finishing it and told me it was super easy and he should get a high score!"

Parent B: "I didn't ask my child. I found the test paper online and did it myself. Even I could do it, so my child will definitely have no problem."

Parent C looked worried: "Sigh, it's too easy. The scores aren't differentiated. This Chinese test wasn't well-designed; it should have been more difficult."

Reporter: "Could you tell me what score you think your child would get on the Chinese test?"

Parent A: "Then it must be 140!"

Parent B: "Let's go with 140!"

Parent C thought it over and over: "145!"

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

I always said interviewing parents is more interesting (and cooler) than interviewing students.

[Student: As long as I pass, that's fine. Parent: I'm sure I can get over 140!]

Am I the only one who thinks parent C's concerns are valid? If composition in Chinese isn't difficult, then math is probably...

[Don't even mention it, it reminds me of the nightmare of my exam year—the math paper was like an Olympiad!!]

[For me, odd-numbered years are more difficult, and even-numbered years are easier. This year is an even-numbered year, so it should be relatively easy.]

[That's inaccurate. I took the exam in an even-numbered year, and the math was incredibly difficult (terrifying)]

Anyway, I feel that math has become increasingly difficult in recent years. The country has been placing more emphasis on flexible application, innovative thinking, and interdisciplinary comprehensive abilities (such as combining traditional culture and real life) rather than simply solving problems, which makes many test takers feel that the difficulty has increased.

It's definitely better to be practical; otherwise, learning it won't be of any use. _(:з」∠)_
