It was a sunny and windy Thursday.
There was a cool breeze and clear sky early in the morning, which was very comfortable.
There are no classes in the first two periods today, so Xiaoqi planned yesterday to go to the library to read in the morning.
As soon as the midterm exam was over, most students became lazy again, as if the springs in their heads had been pulled out.
Chu Yu, who vowed to do well in the exam next time, sat seriously on his chair and studied all night during the evening study session last night. He did not care about others as usual. When he returned to the dormitory, he could not help but open his mobile phone to play games. He also comforted himself that he should combine work and rest. If he continued to read after the self-study session, he would become a nerd.
Although Xiaoqi's dormitory took the top five spots in the class, they were not proud of it.
Xiaoqi, who ranked first in her major, felt that the gap between herself and the students from famous universities was too big. Not to mention the famous universities, even the second and third students in the major were not far behind her, so it would be easy for her to catch up.
Yunshu ranked second in the class and fifth in her major. The gap between her and Xiaoqi was quite large, with a score difference of more than 40 points. She was not particularly obsessed with the scores and rankings, but since they were in the same dormitory, the gap couldn't be too big. She still felt that she should study harder.
Wei Cheng ranked third in the class and directly ranked tenth in her major. After the exam, she found out that the top three in her major would actually get scholarships. She cared about this the most. She was really depressed, but she didn't show it like Chu Yu. She had to work harder and try to get a scholarship. It would be fine if she couldn't pass the exam better than Xiao Qi, who worked much harder than her, but she couldn't even pass the exam better than her deskmate. Her deskmate Yunshu seemed to be reading novels every day, occasionally arranging flowers and making Kung Fu tea, very leisurely, but she still did better than her in the exam. Wei Cheng felt very pressed. Sometimes talent is hard to say, and you can only make up for your shortcomings with hard work. So after the midterm exam, studying became even more intense.
As for Mi'er, she originally thought she was pretty good for ranking fifth. She felt that there was no need to study hard in college. Looking at her roommates, none of them was bookworms. They were good in all aspects and had good grades. She was at the bottom, so she felt a little guilty. She still had to study hard and improve every day.
So after the midterm exam, instead of relaxing, the students in Xiaoqi dormitory worked even harder.
Even Mi'er, who likes to run student union clubs every day, has become more restrained.
There were no classes in the first two periods this morning. If it were before, Mi'er would have slept in. But today, she got up early for the first time ever. She took her English book to the rooftop with Wei Cheng to read. Yunshu really wanted to read a novel when she woke up. The novel she read last night was at its most exciting part. However, seeing that her roommates were so diligent, she resisted the urge to take out her phone. She made some tea and started studying.
Xiaoqi packed his schoolbag and ran to the library, preparing to read books for two classes.
She was also under a lot of pressure. She worked very hard to get first place in the exam, and was only forty points behind Yunshu. Yunshu was usually quite leisurely and spent most of her time reading novels. She rarely spent extra time on studying, but she still performed very well in exams.
So there are smart people everywhere, and even if you are not considered smart, you still have to work hard.
Xiaoqi's psychology is similar to Wei Cheng's, probably because they were born in similar environments.
The difference is that Wei Cheng has three siblings in her family, and she is the second oldest. She is more ignored and has a better personality.
Xiaoqi is an only child, and her temper is sometimes a bit stubborn. She doesn't always consider others, and she doesn't think as much as Wei Cheng.
When he arrived at the library, Xiaoqi found a seat by the window, took out warm noodle soup, steamed buns, and a kettle from his schoolbag, put them away, and then went to look for a book.
Xiaoqi feels that being able to read and eat at the same time is one of the most beautiful moments in life.
The scenery outside the window is very beautiful, with the river flowing into the sea, waves and a cool breeze.
The library management is not very strict, so it's okay to eat something secretly as long as you don't damage the books.
There is a Spanish elective class tonight. The elective class is held two nights a week. Xiaoqi plans to go to the library to find a collection of poems about the Spanish poet Lorca, preferably in Spanish.
There are many foreign teachers at Enhua, and although Spanish is a rare language, there should be some available.
Moreover, Enhua is a private university and it also exchanges international students every year, so the school is very diverse.
Xiaoqi likes this very much, and it is also the advantage of the school.
Xiaoqi searched for a long time according to the index and found the Lorca poetry collection, but it was in Chinese and there was no Spanish version. However, he found a book introducing Spanish cities, a textbook from introductory to proficient Spanish, and some original Spanish novels, which were still a bit difficult for Xiaoqi now.
Xiaoqi took the poetry collection and the city introduction, and she took two Spanish textbooks from introductory to advanced levels.
It is a very pleasant thing to eat breakfast and read the introduction of Spanish cities. It feels like taking a stroll in the city.
There is a golden house in the book, and this is probably the golden house. In the early morning, without a time machine or transportation, you can stroll on the streets of Spain, browse the magnificent buildings, touch the historical relics, appreciate the exotic scenery, and feel the customs of other countries.
Expanded the breadth of vision and mind.
Reading is the easiest shortcut in life, and everyone, rich or poor, has this opportunity.
Xiaoqi only had a base of noodle soup left, but in the library, he couldn't suck it up with a straw, otherwise it would make a slurping sound. He had no choice but to give up, clean up the table and throw away the garbage.
After a quick glance at the Spanish scenery, Xiaoqi opened the collection of Lorca's poems. Perhaps because Teacher Aizhen had talked about that poem in class, he didn't feel anything special when reading his other poems. When he saw "The Ballad of Three Waters" (Baladillade los tres r í os), he thought it was the most beautiful.
It is actually not easy to understand the beauty of poetry. It requires consideration of the poet's environment and historical era. Ancient Chinese poetry is very beautiful and contains many allusions. When we read it aloud, we will smile knowingly, or there may be metaphors or something, but foreigners are probably often confused when reading it.
Xiaoqi was in the same situation at that time. Without a teacher to interpret the environment and historical era, he felt that it was just a series of scattered poems, like prose. He could not feel any special beauty in it, nor did he have any deep feelings. However, he still read it patiently.
The poems were rather scattered, so she just casually flipped to a page and read it carefully. After finishing reading, she felt that she had no impression of it, so she copied it again, so that when she encountered the Spanish version in the future, she might have an impression of it. Reading and learning in this way, by analogy and accumulation, is the most effective.
I have read a lot of poems, and Xiaoqi basically read, recited and wrote them down. I feel that writing down poems is the most cost-effective. The poems I recited when I was a child are still clearly remembered, and I can still often use the allusions in them.
Xiaoqi didn’t write a lot, because if he wrote too much he wouldn’t be able to remember them all. So he just randomly selected five poems, wrote them down carefully, then put down the poetry collection and opened another book.
She felt that this was the most efficient way to learn. Sometimes she would get tired of reading the same book over and over again. In the later stages, it became like a job to get by. She read for herself and did not need to deal with herself. When she had read enough, she would change to another book.
This is a textbook for learning Spanish from beginner to proficient, and it is different from the version Xiaoqi is studying now.
She flipped through it. The first volume was very simple, basically overlapping with what she had learned, and even simpler, but with a slightly different perspective, making it quite interesting to read.
So instead of skipping over it just because it was simple, Xiao Qi read it carefully.
Time flies, and two classes are over in almost the blink of an eye.
Xiao Qidiao's alarm clock rang softly.
She turned off the alarm on her cell phone, put down her book, stood up and stretched. Reading time is the most scarce, especially when you concentrate on reading, it is fleeting.
But I am very satisfied.
After putting the book back to its place, Xiaoqi returned to the teaching building with his schoolbag. He had a class next, Applied Statistics. This course was also quite difficult. After learning calculus, he felt that he could apply what he had learned to other subjects. Overall, it was okay.
Of course, the exam did not get full marks. Xiaoqi scored 92 points, and there were still some mistakes.
Xiaoqi doesn’t know whether she will use these subjects in the future, but now she is a student studying this major. She feels that learning her professional subjects well is also a kind of ability, and learning ability is a way to prove herself.
Otherwise, why do those companies like to recruit students from prestigious universities? Because these students have already proven their abilities.
Unfortunately, Xiaoqi only understood this truth when he went to college, and he didn't have the chance to choose again in the past few years.
But the future is still long, and university is just the starting point. It doesn’t matter if you miss it once, so you should still study hard.
Xiao Qi packed up his schoolbag and walked out of the library. At that moment, the mechanical voice in his mind sounded again: "Host, you have studied hard and understood the meaning of learning. You are rewarded with the entry-level Spanish course."
