Chapter 205 Snow

But after saying this, Leida continued to turn the topic back and looked at Zhang Wei seriously:

"Vera, are you prepared to continue studying for at least eight more years after graduating from high school?"

Zhang Wei: "I know, I'm ready. If I want to be more powerful, I must read more books."

"Besides that, I don't have any other goals in life at the moment."

Studying is not a difficult thing for her. Although she sometimes encounters some difficulties, the sense of accomplishment after overcoming the difficulties makes Zhang Wei feel very meaningful. This is proof of her efforts to be herself.

"Do you need to contact them in advance? I have some friends who seem to be staying at Oxford Medical School. I can introduce you to them."

Zhang Wei: "Thank you, but my advisor has already introduced me to this position. The professor said that if I get a good grade in the final exam, I can work as an assistant in the lab."

"That's good. If you fail the exam, you can come find me."

Zhang Wei: I can’t stand hearing this…

"Don't worry, I will prepare well during the holidays and will definitely get the results I want."

So during this long vacation, Zhang Wei plans to stay at home and prepare well for the exam.

Among these four subjects, Zhang Wei actually spent relatively less time on chemistry, because the knowledge points that need to be memorized are not as difficult or complex as those in biology, and the calculation difficulty is not as difficult as mathematics.

She felt that it was even simpler than the chemistry she had learned in her first year of high school in China. Even the experimental techniques that seemed difficult could be applied to the theoretical knowledge learned previously, so Zhang Wei finished her chemistry review early.

Biology takes a lot of time, mainly because it takes a long time to memorize the knowledge. In addition, Zhang Wei had a habit of looking up some high-level vocabulary and knowledge points that she would encounter later while learning the current knowledge. After all, she wanted to enter the laboratory early, so this preparation was very necessary.

In other words, while reviewing the biology knowledge learned this semester, she also mastered the expanded content.

Finally, there are basic mathematics and advanced mathematics. Although Zhang Wei had learned some of these two subjects in high school and some of them she had self-studied when preparing for the competition, as a pure liberal arts student, Zhang Wei had relatively little exposure to advanced mathematics.

In China, advanced mathematics is usually learned in college, but here, although high school mathematics is only studied for two years, the content learned is broader than what Zhang Wei learned in the previous three years, because a lot of calculus, sets, matrices and other content have been added.

However, it is impossible to teach the knowledge points in depth in two years, so the difficulty of the advanced mathematics here is actually lower than that of high mathematics, because it tests a wider range of knowledge and the difficulty can be controlled.

Zhang Wei has previously said that one characteristic of British exams is that they generally do not ask questions that go beyond the scope of the textbook. This means that the questions are relatively rigid, specifically one question per knowledge point, unlike the domestic test where one big question has three small questions, testing algebra and geometry together.

But Zhang Wei is a very serious person. Although she does the real questions and practices smoothly, she is afraid that she only has a superficial understanding, so she often looks for related questions in China to practice. It has to be said that she deserves it.

Then when she encountered difficulties in doing these questions and found that she really did not master them well, she would go to YouTube to search for lecture videos and then digest them on her own.

So a big part of the reason why Zhang Wei has to work so hard is because she brought it upon herself.

From her own learning experience over the years, she knows that the earlier one learns important knowledge, the better. There is no question of a better step-by-step approach for other students. After all, her cognitive abilities have already been established.

Just when she felt that she was almost prepared and was facing the exam with full confidence, a heavy snow fell in London.

The snow was unprecedentedly heavy, even affecting the daily lives of residents.

It happened to be the first day of the exam season for Zhang Wei and her classmates. She felt that when she opened her eyes in the morning, the light in the dark room and the gaps in the windows that were not covered tightly were extremely dazzling.

She got up and opened the curtains, only to see a vast expanse of white. She couldn't even see where the road downstairs was.

Zhang Wei has always liked snowy days. After washing up and feeling refreshed, she went to the restaurant downstairs to eat. She didn't expect that others were discussing whether today's exam would be cancelled.

"I don't think I can make it to the exam room safely under these conditions."

Hayat said as he looked at the snowflakes still falling outside.

Then Queenie stomped through the doorway, shouting:

"Look, the snow is already above my knees. We have to wear long boots, otherwise we'll get soaked!"

Zhang Wei looked at her feet and found that she was still wearing her usual shallow black leather shoes. He couldn't help but admire her as a warrior.

She only had a pair of mid-calf boots that didn't go above the knees, so it seemed difficult for her to travel with them. She didn't want to sit for nearly three hours with wet feet in sub-zero weather.

"Will the school find someone to clean it up?" Zhang Wei said with some uncertainty. After all, there was only more than an hour left before the exam, and there was no sign of this yet.

Just then, Mia's grandmother came over and told them, "Today's breakfast only has dry bread and sausages. Because of the university, the supplies can't be delivered."

Seeing Zhang Wei and the others staring at her in surprise, she continued, "We're relatively well off. Some places in London have had their power lines damaged by the heavy snow, leaving them without water or electricity."

Hayat immediately asked the question that concerned her most: "What about our exam today?"

Mia's grandmother said helplessly: "I haven't received any notice of suspending the exam yet."

Hayat's face immediately fell.

Everyone was in a low mood during this breakfast. The snow was still falling and showed no signs of stopping.

Seeing that no one had eaten much, Zhang Wei advised, "We don't know when the supplies will be delivered, and we don't know how long the food in the kitchen will last us. We should try to eat as much as possible."

Moreover, the weather was so cold that the body consumed a lot of energy, so Zhang Wei ate a little more, although she was a little unhappy at the thought of going to the exam in the heavy snow.

"No way!" Although Butch didn't think things were that bad, he still finished all the food on the plate.

Zhang Wei looked at the flesh-colored fleece leggings she had bought from a domestic merchant on Amazon, and then at the others. Besides wearing thicker over-the-knee socks, even though their thighs were covered by skirts, their smooth skin could still be seen when they sat down. She shivered with cold.

If I go out in the snow like this, I might end up having my limbs amputated...
