Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 13 Planning
On Monday, May 5, the sun shone through the mottled leaves, casting dots of light and shadow on the classroom windows.

The classroom was filled with a tense and somewhat depressing atmosphere. The fan on the ceiling was turning weakly, making a slight buzzing sound.

Hu Xiaobei had no time to complain about Yangguang's boring and repetitive way of entering every time. Looking at the second mock exam paper after his rebirth, he gradually fell into deep thought.

The sounds of his classmates discussing and flipping pages gradually faded from his ears, and the only thing left in his world was the test paper in front of him.

The sunlight occasionally moved, casting a small halo in the corner of the classroom, as if guiding the direction of his thinking.

Chinese score is 121, uh, 12 points lower than last time.

It’s okay, after all, when I was reborn, the Chinese mock exam had already passed.

But those questions are very simple, I should have answered them all correctly!

Why is the score dropping so fast?

Hu Xiaobei glanced at the composition and found that he only got 60 points out of 40.

Look at the content of the article again, there is nothing wrong!
Whether it is the choice of words or the central idea, they are all so excellent.

Based on the content, even if it cannot be said to be a naturally well-written article, it is still qualified to be called a wonderful article.

The words are filled with literary elegance, almost overflowing with vigor.

Uh, looking at the handwriting that looked like ghostly scribbles, Hu Xiaobei suddenly came to his senses.

Blind student, I found the highlight.

As a social animal who has rarely written in decades and only types on the keyboard, it is reasonable that my handwriting is a little elegant.

Well... never mind, this is not War’s fault.

Looking at the 50 points on the math test, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but smile with relief.

Not bad, not bad, five more points than last time, which means I got √ for ten of the twelve multiple-choice questions.

With this probability, no one would believe Hu Xiaobei even if he said he had no talent.

If the college entrance examination consisted entirely of multiple-choice questions, Hu Xiaobei could easily beat more than 80% of the students in the country with this talent alone.

Alas, what a pity!

This talent was born at the wrong time!
The score in liberal arts is 125, which is better than last time, but still very limited.

It turns out that cramming at the last minute doesn't work. All the efforts before the exam were wasted. I only got 13 more points, which is better than nothing.

Looking at the English score of 142, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but smile. This is my normal level!
The English score was 142, which is 67 points more than last time, almost double.

The total score is 438 points, 73 points more than last time.

Just ask, who else?
At this moment, Lin Yue gently tugged at the corner of Hu Xiaobei's clothes and said softly, "Look, your English score this time is 20 points higher than the last monthly exam, just because you finished the test paper."

Lin Yue's eyes sparkled with envy: "Hey, how did you learn English? You've made such great progress. Teach me."

As she spoke, she opened her mouth slightly, as if she suddenly realized that Hu Xiaobei's progress this time was not a little bit.

After all, the improvement from 60 to 80 points is not comparable to the improvement from 122 to 142 points.

Hu Xiaobei rubbed his eyes and told the truth perfunctorily: "Uh, I've been memorizing a lot of words recently.

Lin Yue rolled her beautiful eyes at him, but with a hint of a smile on her lips: "I really didn't expect that!

You actually took the initiative to memorize words. Is the sun rising from the west? Oh, right, don’t you always hate rote memorization?

Hu Xiaobei didn't want to waste time chatting any further.

As he picked up the book, he casually said, "The college entrance examination is coming soon. I have to stop talking and read."

"Yeah, I'm reading too. Come on." Lin Yue smiled sweetly at him, then lowered her head and started reading.

Suddenly, Hu Xiaobei felt a chill on his back and he turned around subconsciously.

Lin Yue saw that Xu Chen, the top student sitting behind him, was staring at him angrily. His eyes seemed to be constantly issuing warnings, and his cold light was revealed.

Hu Xiaobei frowned, wondering if this kid was bothering him about his studies, or if he had some other ulterior motive. Never mind, he was just a brat, so he didn't bother paying attention.

Looking back, thinking about what Lin Yue just said, it seems that my English has never been bad.

The last score of 75 was a sharp drop compared to the monthly exam in April. The current score of 4 is considered to be back on track and an improvement.

My liberal arts scores seem to be pretty good, of course, this is limited to multiple-choice questions.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaobei recalled that when he took the college entrance examination, he only got one question about a specific year wrong in the liberal arts multiple-choice test.

Of course, the scores weren’t high at that time.

Because when he reads a book, he only understands it, but never memorizes it.

Except for multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions that can determine the score, all kinds of short-answer questions basically only have the basic one or two points.

If other students got only one multiple-choice question wrong, their estimated scores would start at 250 points or above, but Hu Xiaobei could usually only estimate around 200 points.

Although he answered the questions correctly, they did not meet the requirements.

It seems that my liberal arts scores have not yet returned to their previous level.

There is not much room for improvement in English and Chinese. With my current understanding ability, memorization and recitation are enough for politics and history.

Hu Xiaobei decided to allocate the remaining limited time to three aspects according to priority.

First of all, mathematics is my worst subject, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Mathematics is not something that can be solved by simply memorizing formulas and principles. If it were that simple, mathematicians would not be so scarce.

It requires not only understanding, but also continuous thinking and a large number of exercises, all of which take a lot of time and energy.

The second is geography, which also requires some analytical and comprehension skills, and more importantly, a certain overall perspective.

Fortunately, there is not much of this content, so it is not a big problem.

The last step is calligraphy practice, which is indispensable for any subject. The most direct consequence of sloppy handwriting is point deduction.

The content of many people's essays may not be outstanding, but they often get high scores because of their neat papers and neat handwriting.

After all, it is a liberal arts subject, and having good handwriting is very useful.

As the saying goes, "sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood", so you should learn to write well first.

Practice writing while solving problems and answering questions, so that you will be more efficient.

Taking advantage of the break between classes, Hu Xiaobei jogged back to the dormitory and wolfed down something to eat.

After replenishing his food, he touched his slightly bulging and rounded belly with satisfaction.

He gently patted the sides of his cheeks, which were a little sore from eating too fast.

No pain No gain.

Although the food is not bitter for me, my mouth is tired from eating it!

Afterwards, he hurried to the school library to find some information so that he could learn to write better.

When preparing for the college entrance examination, regular script or running script are both better fonts.

The strokes of regular script are neat and standardized, with straight horizontal and vertical lines and a rigorous structure.

Such fonts are easy to recognize and allow examiners to understand the content clearly and quickly.

For example, the eight strokes of the character "永" embody the basic form and writing standards of regular script strokes. Using regular script when answering questions will make the paper look neat.

Xingkai is based on regular script with some stroke continuity. It is written faster than regular script, while retaining a certain degree of standardization and recognizability.

Its strokes are smooth and natural. For example, the last horizontal stroke of the character “是” can be properly connected to make writing more efficient.

Both of these are indispensable aids for Hu Xiaobei, who needs to take the college entrance examination.
