Chapter 84 is incomprehensible.

Lu Yanhe did have a habit when doing English reading comprehension questions: he would mark the corresponding parts and key sections of the original text for each question so that he could easily compare them. Little did he know that Old Chen not only looked at their answers but also their notes.

Fortunately, Old Chen did not suspect that he had deliberately given the wrong answer, but instead naturally came up with a very reasonable reason for him.

Lu Yanhe said, "My vocabulary is indeed lacking, and I'm working on it."

Old Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, you've made significant progress. Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

Lu Yanhe: "Thank you."

Old Chen then moved to face Bai Yu on the other side.

"Bai Yu, I see you haven't solved the key problem with this reading comprehension question. You need to improve your reading and problem-solving speed." Old Chen's voice wasn't loud, and he spoke gently to the delicate and quiet Bai Yu. "You answered the first few questions correctly, but the last two were wrong. It's obvious you didn't have time to carefully judge all the options before time ran out. In English, especially in reading comprehension, your reading speed is crucial. You need to find the answers in the text with the questions in mind. I think you should still habitually read the article first, then look at the questions, and then find the corresponding positions in the article, right?"

Bai Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded.

Old Chen said, "You must listen to Teacher Chen. Your English level is 130, but now you can only get 110. That's the reason. You can't finish the test paper. Change your test-taking habits."

"Okay." Bai Yu nodded.

...

Lu Yanhe sighed once again, saying that teachers like Lao Chen are truly rare and hard to come by.

He seemed to know perfectly well what each student's current weaknesses were and how to make up for them.

During the last ten minutes of morning self-study, Teacher Chen returned to the podium and said, "Students who got all the reading comprehension questions right don't need to listen to me. Continue your own studies. Other students, listen to me briefly explain the problem-solving approach for each question in this reading comprehension section. Don't use stereotypes and think that English is just about memorizing vocabulary. Reading comprehension also has traps and tricks."

Instead of going into detail about every sentence and word in the original reading comprehension text, Lao Chen started directly from the questions, explaining how to break down the keywords in the questions, find the corresponding parts in the article, and then how to choose the answer.

"Generally, out of four options, two are easy to eliminate because they're obviously wrong. But there's one more option that's a trap. It might seem to have a similar meaning in the original text, but it's actually unrelated to the question. At this point, you must carefully read what the question is asking. Don't ask what the significance is; choose the result of the event. Don't ask what the result is; choose the cause of the event. Do you understand what I mean?" Old Chen clearly explained the test-maker's trap-setting strategy and the key to solving the problem. "You need to remember these words and remind yourself not to lose points you could have gotten by being tricked by the test-maker. It's such a pity to lose points you could have gotten by carelessness. All that vocabulary memorization and practice would have been for nothing. It would break my heart."

He made a pained expression, clutching his heart.

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Lu Yanhe wrote down everything Old Chen said.

Everyone knows this, but it hasn't been organized into such a systematic summary.

Each subject has its own set of common question traps. Lu Yanhe remembered that before he transmigrated here, after the college entrance examination, when he checked the answers, he found that he had made several mistakes that he shouldn't have made. He had lost points for no reason, at least ten points.

Therefore, now that he has the opportunity to take the college entrance examination again, Lu Yanhe cares a lot about this.

After the second period in the morning, the break between classes is a little longer, about twenty minutes.

Students in grades 10 and 11 have to do morning exercises, but students in grade 12 don't; they can rest.

When Lu Yanhe returned from the restroom, he saw Xu Zijun following Liu Qin to the office.

Then, quite unusually, Xu Zijun didn't return to the classroom during the third period.

She didn't return until almost the end of the third period, her eyes red again.

Lu Yanhe then realized that Xu Zijun must have encountered something.

Without him even asking, by the time he and Li Pengfei finished lunch and returned to the classroom, someone with inside information had already figured out why Xu Zijun had "disappeared" during the third period.

"She gave up her spot for independent admissions recommendation," Zhou Ziyu said with an exaggerated expression.

"Huh?" The other students all looked shocked. "Why?"

Chou Tzu-yu shook her head and said, "I don't know, but her dad came this morning."

Lu Yanhe was equally shocked when he heard what Zhou Ziyu said.

For high school seniors, the opportunity to be admitted through independent enrollment is like a film project by a famous director for an actor, or a beautiful song for a singer—it's an irresistible temptation.

Even if you only pass the independent admission interview of the university that requires you to sign an enrollment agreement, and then choose not to sign and give up, no one will give up participating in independent admission before the final results are released. This is because it is another bridge provided to you besides the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination. No one will give up without even trying.

Why did Xu Zijun give up?

At that moment, Xu Zijun entered the classroom.

Everyone fell silent and stopped talking.

This obvious difference made Xu Zijun realize something.

She lowered her head even further.

-

Lu Yanhe actually wanted to know why Xu Zijun did this.

But he has to leave school soon.

He has a program recording this afternoon.

I arrived at the recording location an hour early to get my makeup and hair done; the costumes were also provided by the production team.

He overheard the person from the production team who was in contact with him muttering to someone else, "It's been a long time since I've seen an artist need the production team to provide costumes."

Lu Yanhe pursed his lips, trying to hide his embarrassment.

This observational program is easy to film; you don't need to run around or make exaggerated reactions.

The general content involves watching pre-recorded videos of ordinary people, reacting to them, and then having group chats, comments, and exchanges.

He was a guest on the show and didn't know much about the other participants, so he didn't talk much.

However, some scripts and memorable quotes had already been prepared for him by the screenwriters. He only needed to say them with the host's prompts to complete the task.

However, to everyone's surprise, a certain part of the content sparked a dispute among the guests in the studio. Everyone abandoned the scripts written in advance and started arguing with genuine emotion.

This passage also made Lu Yanhe fall into deep thought.
