"Wu Tong, have you finished your summer homework?" Zhang Shumei greeted him vaguely without even raising her head. She was very busy now.
"Done!"
Wu Tong took his seat and clipped the papers he had sorted into his bag to the front of his desk, so he could easily access them when he handed them in. He then took out an Oxford Dictionary and opened it, continuing with his previous work, memorizing the words.
During the morning reading in the summer vacation, after she memorized the words and texts in the textbook, she recently started to memorize the dictionary from the beginning and is now moving on to the words starting with E.
"That's great! I had a lot of fun during the summer vacation, and I made up for all my homework in the past few days. I'm still almost there!" After sighing, Zhang Shumei continued to copy hard, her words flying.
She had just borrowed the test paper from the class substitute and had to hurry up to finish copying it because there were people waiting, and she was also waiting for the next test paper to arrive.
The bell rang at eight o'clock, and the head teacher and chemistry teacher Chen Qiu Sheng stepped into the classroom as the bell rang. He talked about some old-fashioned things to pay attention to when school starts, and emphasized the importance of paying attention and sounding the alarm. Now everyone should listen carefully. Those who should copy homework are still doing it, and those who should slack off are slacking off. Only a very small number of people in the front row are listening seriously to what the teacher says.
Finally, as if realizing he hadn't achieved the desired deterrent effect, the teacher dropped a bombshell: "Next Friday, we'll have a baseline test after the subject division. The questions aren't difficult, they're all basics. It's just to help you focus..."
Suddenly, the class was filled with grief. Everyone had a blast having fun during the summer vacation, so who would remember to review? Isn't this going to make people fail the exam?
"Okay, everyone, you're always like this when it comes to exams. Stop complaining. You didn't even think about studying during this summer vacation? You have to know that this is already your second year of high school. Time flies. Next year you will face the college entrance examination. Now you are just... "
The teacher gave a loud sermon, and then asked the class monitor and some active male students in the class to move the new textbooks. He sat on the podium and arranged for everyone to come up to the podium one by one, starting from the first row, to pay his tuition. Each person had to sign their name and receive a receipt.
This morning was spent in the class organized by the teacher, where we paid tuition and distributed textbooks, and finally had a self-study class.
Wu Tong got a new textbook for math. She looked at it and found that it was the same version as her brother's textbook. She had already mastered it and could start self-studying physics, chemistry and biology in advance.
Sitting in the corner against the wall, naturally no one disturbed her. Wu Tong was very happy studying on her own. She only stood up when it was her turn to pay the tuition. The rest of the time, the outside world had nothing to do with her.
She wasn't usually a talkative person, and her deskmate didn't find it strange; she was just flipping through her new textbook with great enthusiasm. It was the first morning of school, and everyone was in a state of relaxed activity. Some were gossiping, some were copying homework, some were reading miscellaneous books, some were secretly playing with their phones, and some were preparing for class in advance. The classroom, with over a hundred students, was filled with all sorts of activities.
The formal teaching began in the afternoon. The timetable for the main and minor subjects, plus a very small number of physical education, music and art courses had been posted next to the classroom blackboard in the morning, and they had already copied it and sealed it in the corner of the desk.
The high school course schedule is relatively heavy, starting from morning self-study at 6:30 in the morning and ending at evening self-study at 9:30 in the evening, the day is full of courses.
As Wu Tong started school, the Wu family quickly entered a period of intense activity. Whoever was free and home early, Wu Jingzhong or Jin Yu, would arrange lunch and dinner, ensuring Wu Tong arrived home for dinner. If they were truly too busy, they would contact the Jin family in advance and have Wu Tong eat at their place. On rare occasions, they would let Wu Tong eat out.
For newly issued textbooks, Wu Tong would preview each subject in his spare time, and then compare them with what the teacher said in class to see if he understood them well and if there were any omissions.
There wouldn't be any misunderstandings. The Enlightenment Stone Tablet had the power of deduction, and if Wu Tong misunderstood, she would have a clear understanding in her heart. During her summer self-study, Wu Tong slowly verified and figured this out, ensuring she was on the right path.
Now that Wu Tong's concentration has developed and she's engaged in deep learning, her ability to absorb the teacher's lectures in class has naturally improved dramatically. She absorbs every detail from the teacher, instantly grasping the information. While the teacher is repeating the explanation, she's already taken a step forward and self-studied the next chapter.
In this way, when the teacher starts teaching in the next class, listening to it again is a detailed review for Wu Tong.
During the evening study time, after finishing the day's homework as quickly as possible, Wu Tong arranged the remaining time, including the study time from washing up after returning home to the break at 12 o'clock, for early self-study of various subjects.
Starting from physics to biochemistry, I kept it at three to four days, completing one subject after another, and learned all the high school physics, chemistry and biology by self-study before the placement test.
All the knowledge points are mastered, and exercises are done to consolidate the knowledge. Like mathematics, all the knowledge points in high school are integrated, and the fragmented and advanced knowledge points are used to establish the context scaffolding belonging to physics, chemistry, and biology, and build the subject tree belonging to each subject.
The teaching supplementary materials bought that day were also used up during the consolidation exercises. Two thick piles were stacked against the wall, and the empty pen refills one after another showed Wu Tong's efforts.
During morning self-study, Wu Tong still scheduled morning reading for Chinese and English. Two weeks into the semester, he successfully memorized the remaining key classical Chinese texts and English vocabulary from high school during these morning readings. For now, Wu Tong focused solely on memorization for these two subjects, while focusing on improving his skills in the pure science subjects of math, physics, chemistry, and biology.
Wu Tong usually woke up at 4:40, washed up quickly, and began his morning breathing exercises at 5:00. At 5:40, he went downstairs to wash up, grab breakfast, and headed to school. The Agricultural Bureau's staff quarters weren't far from the No. 1 High School, just three blocks away. Wu Tong rode his bike, and it took him about 15 minutes to get to school, park, and go upstairs. His timing was just right.
Wu Tong sleeps for five hours a day, which is the fetal breathing and baby sleep he gets after being adjusted by the Enlightenment Stone Tablet. Five hours of sleep is equivalent to double or triple the high-quality sleep of an average person, which is enough for Wu Tong to recover the energy consumed in a day, as well as the energy and vitality accumulated through daily breathing exercises in the morning.
Therefore, despite such an intensive arrangement of deep learning tasks, Wu Tong did not become pale and weak. Instead, he became more energetic and clear-minded, achieving a virtuous circle.
Amidst this orderly and busy cycle, the placement test officially arrived. The books in the classroom were moved out in advance. Day students' books were usually moved to the dorms of their close friends, or piled up on the extra desks and chairs in the last row of the podium. Wu Tong's books were moved to the dorm of his deskmate, Zhang Shumei, on Thursday evening.
